Yeah.

And I think if you look um i i the the the effect of the the the tighter regulations, if you look just visually at the cars.

So I I'd put a thing on X the other day just before the Belgian Grand Prix saying here's the nineteen fifty Belgian Grand Prix, here's the nineteen eighty eight Belgian Grand Prix.

So you had Senator Lieutenprost in the uh the MP forty.

four um and uh Fanjo and Farina and the Alfeta saying, okay, between that picture of Senna and Prost and now is the same distance in years as between those two pictures.

And yet ostensibly those cars to the uninitiated, you look at that F one car and say, Well it's an F one car wouldn't look much different to a current F one car.

And that's just how how much

which it has had to be regulated.

And if we hadn't had that, we'd have Red Bull X tens doing you know

Half a minute faster everywhere.

Which is the the F two equivalent if you Exactly, yeah, because they they were there were feeling that the pre war Grand Prix cars were getting too fast and too powerful.

Yeah, that would be the ideal, but you know, th I I think what would happen is that with the cost cap in place, I do think I do think the cost cap gives the

Formula One more leeway to to to allow that um technical innovation, more technical innovation and be a little bit more, you know, ambivalent ab about about how much innovation there is.

Uh but I think if you

what would probably happen is one team would probably establish a domination which w could last for quite a while.

Another team would probably catch up with it and then it would become that team's era and y it it's it's more like probably how it used to be

Eighties, seventies, eighties, nineties where you had a a Williams era, then you had a McLaren era, then it went back to Williams and then became a Ferrari era.

It's more like that.

We had these long periods of domination of one team.

Now we've had it since the regulations have become m a bit more much more prescriptive.
