Good find, Dare. Thanks!  :good:

An affordable, widely available competitive engine would do wonders for F1 today.

Even though I've been following F1  for 25 years, I still feel like I'm 'new' to the sport.

For me, teams build a new car every year, and run that car (with upgrades) all season, then build a new car next year.

It seems weird that a car/engine would debut in the third race of the season, be used for several years before being redesigned and then be replaced mid season.
