Engineering creativity can work IF the budget cap can be introduced and enforced. The chances of that happening when greed is involved is zero and is the typical problem when large amounts of money and influence are involved. As for Chapman etc I don't think that his actions are pertinent today as much as I think he was the best thing that happened to F1. I thought the fan car was banned from racing, not withdrawn, perhaps I am wrong. As an aside I wonder where F1 would be today if Chapman had enjoyed a full career in design and racing of F1 cars.
