It always strikes me that you are against two things that provide a bit of interest, free reign of setup and tyre variety (we need three manufacturers). I have no option but to conclude you are Max Mosley. |

I think one tyre is fine, however what I would have liked is for wider rear tyres with a larger diameter also.
Just give them a soft, medium and hard compound to choose from and let them race. |

1. More comments from drivers and pit crew during the race
2. Educate TV director to replay ALL passes during races that are not caught first time out live. 3. Get rid of grid penalties all together and finedrivers instead or have points taken away from their championship. 4. Less use of safety car especially during the rain and especially at the start of a race. 5. Get rid of pitstops all together and force drivers to pass on the track 6. Less run off area so that drivers can respect the track 7. Get rid of Valencia GP, Turkey GP, even Barcelona GP which always seem to be boring races 8. More driver interviews (those that didn't finish) during the race 9. More shots of beautiful women instead of that Hamilton guy in McLaren pitbox 10. Cheaper tickets !!!!!!!!!!! |

Improve F1?
Don't allow Schumacher to return. It's like returning to an ex with a borderline personality disorder and egomaniacal tendacies - ya just don't do it. |

Please, please can we have an ejector seat for J. Legard, preferably to be operated by me by remote control.

Should allow customer cars and anyone with a legal car should be allowed turn up and attempt to qualify for any race (through Friday pre-qual if required).

Steve Matchett had a great idea. The lack of testing is gumming up the works. Why not have a Thursday tests session like Friday's. The teams are already there, with the cars ready to go. You could sell some tickets and TV coverage and each team would have a day to try things then fix it overnight and try again on friday. Reserve drivers would get some real seat time, and the cars would be more competitive.
As for passing, its about the amount of time you have in the breaking zone, which due the 5 g breaking is vanishingly small. Trying to out brake somebody gets you up to their side pod, which is not a pass. |

No mandatory pitstops, maximum of 4 people in the pit lane during pit stops.

So what if anything has the Formula 1 Sporting Working Group come up with to "improve the show"?
Nothing. |

Well, refuelling is banned, which for me is the single most important thing they could have done. No more hub-caps is also good, both from an aero POV and aesthetically.
But the fact that there are few changes is because change costs money and FOTA wanted a stable set of regulations and that's pretty much what they've got. |

The date of that article was last month, which implies that they were aiming for "something else" to be introduced before the season is underway. |

There's plenty of time left then to decide that F1 would be far more exciting with only a tiny fraction of the downforce they currently have. I won't hold my breath on that one, however.

Kinda not related, but I want to have a moan about the cars likely increase in wheelbase.
The cars are already long and thin, it my opinion that single seaters - like their sportcar cousins, should be short and wide, when actually F1 cars now have the proportions of something looking like a bus. |
