All the cost cap has done is open new development opportunities in the real sport of F1: rules lawyering and evasion.

Finding loopholes in the rules is a time-honored F1 tradition. Now there are more rules to find loopholes in.

Personally, I prefer the engineering loopholes to the accounting loopholes.

I'm just a loopholes fan!

Same here. I want my team to cheat if it means that they're being clever with how they design the car. I've only seen Red Bull do that this year with how they redesigned the cooling system which resulted in a redesign of the sidepods (which they wanted).

Agreed, but that's not "all" the new regulations have done.

Unless you were being pusposefully hyperbolic, then I understamd your point - F1 has teetered on becoming a Law and Order spinoff since 2021.
