Gearheads… question about F1

I watch zero auto racing of any kind, so I just googled. But… is it true that the cars in F1 can be different in terms of specs? So whichever team has the most money has the best chance of winning because, generally, they can design and build a better car than less rich teams? Yes, a driver can overcome some things, but generally $$$ = best odds to win? TIA.

Yep. If they would’ve let those cars go one lap earlier last year….

Exactly.

Yep. Once the field gets bunched let them by. **

Generally yes and no

Wow. It’s almost relevant. Certainly entertaining.**

COTA is not suited for Nascar cars. Too many turns….
Jackie VT 05/08/22 06:47 PM ET
True, but wouldn't make any difference**
RTFC 05/08/22 07:21 PM ET
I know. I’m just saying in general Nascar doesn’t put on a good show…

I love the description of current NASCAR as being the modern age of IROC
EDGEMAN 05/08/22 08:50 PM ET
There’s no comparison because there’s no commonality.**
PhotoHokieNC 05/08/22 08:44 PM ET
Meh. Both car racing.
RTFC 05/08/22 10:31 PM ET
My comment wasn’t a comparison between the two series, because….
Jackie VT 05/08/22 08:54 PM ET
I don’t see why they’re unsuitable if they’re not F1. The track people
PhotoHokieNC 05/08/22 09:00 PM ET
I stated in my original post why IMO. Obviously the track is free….
Jackie VT 05/08/22 09:07 PM ET
And too many right hand turns...lol**
