The Centerline Downwash Generating is designed to make for more passing in F1.

Looks different that's for sure. Spec engines will suck!!!

I thought the FIA will just freeze engine development.

There will be a spec Bridgestone tire next year, but there might be an option tire like in Champ Car.

bill board one piece wing will be had to get rid of. Not really a spec engine just your design frozen right? SO if it is a POS what happens you suffer with it till the end?

Yes. It's not a spec engine. They are just freezing engine development.

F1 should keep an eye on Champ Car next season and see how their Panoz DP01 works out. I think that they have a great idea by using the body instead of the wings to create their downforce. Then again, since F1 doesn't have a spec chassis this might not work for F1.

How about we just freeze Bernie!

and mosely

I hate to say it, but the good thing is that these guys aren't going to be around forever. How old is Bernie now? I think that his toupee is older than I am.

Mosely is no spring chicken either.

I see that design and the 1st thing I think of is less advertising space

That's not necessarily such a bad thing. Some (good) fresh blood may help.

No it's not, but unfortunately I don't see Bernie retiring from F1. The only way that I see him leaving is if he gets too old and frail to continue on or dies. You don't want to wish that on anyone even if you don't like them.
