F1 doesn't have a top speed limiter on race. Massa's 235mph mark on Monza would say that.

Semantics. As Akima rightly stated, F1 has added rules to cut speed before and will do so again.

A tear will be shed for them. Friend of mine worked for them before 9/11.

It's part of the reason they stopped using real engines and went to those Coffee Grinder Powerpac Engines.

Not exactly the same. An actual top speed limiter evens top speed across the board, resulting in a much different type of race. Limiting the ruleset in a way that throws slower cars I'm perfectly fine with.
And Kugai - Technically, the Coffee Grinder Powerpac Engines give out more top speed (except for Monza because the dudes in Mercedes cars couldn't be arsed to shift to 8th). Things about turbos, they're weird.
