Other then tradition, there’s no real reason to stay open wheel, in fact it’s a detriment to aerodynamics, I’m OK with it overall. Would you be ok with a change to a closed wheel design?
Modern F1 cars aren't supposed to be aerodynamic anyway to be honest. If they were, they wouldn't have wings that create thousands of pounds of downforce.Other then tradition, there’s no real reason to stay open wheel, in fact it’s a detriment to aerodynamics, I’m OK with it overall.

It makes sense to do so. Talking about tradition, it probably contributed to Mercedes winning their debut F1 race.Other then tradition, there’s no real reason to stay open wheel, in fact it’s a detriment to aerodynamics, I’m OK with it overall.

Instead of being a generic open wheel series like any other?No. The thing that makes F1, well, F1 is its open-wheel setup. Make is closed wheel and it might as well be another generic touring car event like any other.
Isnt tradition like the whole idea of sports?Other then tradition, there’s no real reason to stay open wheel, in fact it’s a detriment to aerodynamics, I’m OK with it overall. Would you be ok with a change to a closed wheel design?
in incredibly simple terms, more aero parts equals more dirty air in the wake of the cars, harder for cars to follow, less close racing.Ok, help me understand, isn’t it the aerodynamics that allow the cars to take turns at such high speeds? So I’m not fully understanding all the responses saying less aero is better, or aero produces too much downforce? Isn’t that the exact point of aero?
I'll try and help using my very, very limited knowledge of Aerodynamics I've learned from making tons of setups with racing sims over the years.Ok, help me understand, isn’t it the aerodynamics that allow the cars to take turns at such high speeds?
