Christian says that there are 3 fundamental elements to F1; the driver, the chassis and the engine. All three have to be balanced and if not formula 1 would lose its appeal. It has to be to ths limit where man is battling with the machine, people love formula one because it's entertaining and risky, if the technology supasses the ability of the driver then it just becomes a technical exercise.
