nameless should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
i like the format as it is now, but maybe with low fuel levels. this year qualifying is so much better to watch as you get to see every driver and someone is on track for the whole session, with the old format you didnt see anyone for 20mins, hten you just got to see the top drivers. as for the lottery idea .........................

imo keep it as it is

Maybe it is a Bernie "clever" way to make people talk about F1, but sadly some of these "fool" ideas were for real: great tracks outed from calendar, circuits chopped and "chicaned", handicapping terrestial TV signal in order to sell his digital business, etc... I'm afraid his plans to go to "exotic" (in F1 terms) countries instead established ones are for real too...

Many people thinks BE is becoming "senile" , in my case it is worse: I never liked a lot BE&Max's idea of F1, from the end of 80s to today. Anyway, it is what we have, and I just choose to view it or not.

I like the Big Brother idea...maybe once the names have been drawn out of a hat, the viewers can ring up during the race to vote off the drivers they want to retire. At least TGF wouldn't win.

Bernie is clearly off his rocker...we always suspected it, now it's official.

I liked crunch's idea of giving those who qualify on friday extra laps.

Or as in NBA's draft: give more numbers in the lottery to fastest drivers. Anyway this lottery concept is nonsense.

Bernie's gone senile - seems like every two weeks he runs a crazy new idea up the flagpole to see if anyone salutes

It's time to vote Bernie off the island

I take it most don't agree that maybe Bernie doesn't 100% mean this?

That's what I was thinking reading through this thread - he's done it in the past and it's not for publicity.

Bernie's strategy - and we saw it at its strongest during the off-season - is to put forward the worst idea possible - and then the teams/whoever he's dealing with - aren't averse to what he had in mind and always intended purely because it isn't as bad as the first option.

It's like stubbing your toe doesn't hurt as much when you've just broken 4 ribs.
