    They’ll never be allowed to compete head to head. It’s like Formula E, that will always be enough different from Formula 1 so as to never show what a pure matchup would look like.

      At the current moment in time an F1 car would absolutely destroy any Formula E car. They are so much better in every way that matters for a race car, it isn’t even a competition. Formula E cars are pretty cool, but they can’t hold a candle to an F1 car. That’s why they don’t do a pure match up. And that’s with the Gen 3 cars, the Gen 2 cars were much worse.

      It isn’t that it’s not allowed, it’s that it would be bad for their image. Since they are trying to make money, that’s probably not a good idea.
