I very much agree with a huge amount of what you’re saying here. I’m hopeful that the 2022 regs will make a big difference to the ability of cars to follow each other closely and overtake. I agree with you tha […]

Yes, but the Sprint Race would still be a minor part of the weekend, with minor points. Effectively you’re just handicapping everyone in accordance with their championship position, AND you’re introducing a reward […]

Yes that’s a good point.

I was thinking of a shorter race so that it didn’t require any pit stops to ensure that overtaking was done on track, rather than in pit-stop strategy, but it’s probably a balance to […]

I really don’t understand this “punishes success” arguement.

I mean, I get that if you reverse the Quali grid and then use the the Sprint finish to start the GP that would be utterly ridiculous (because teams […]

In fact, just to bring a bit of tradition in to it, I’d suggest the sprint race uses the old 10/8/6/5/4/3/2/1 points allocation :)

Well, I totally disagree with Prost, and seemingly most of the people here…

We need to understand that the best team has to win because it’s the best, because it’s the spirit and the aim of Formula 1. […]

I just don’t understand why people think that… Why would it be a joke? Why would it be a script? It would be a race like any other, but it would force drivers to overtake in order to be well placed. It will show […]

I LOVE the idea of a reverse championship grid for the sprint race (with the sprint race maybe having 1/2 or 1/3 points). I really don’t understand why anyone other than the leading teams don’t want it. It has […]

As a business (as all the teams are) it’s the right approach, unless the stewards are going to penalise you for it.

Personally, I would welcome a rule that said something along the lines of “acting in a man […]

I think you have a fair point on consequences (ie they clearly do get considered). Personally, I actually think they should be considered MORE.

One of the thing that feels unfair when looking at the Silverstone […]

As others have said, while I wish Lewis well, from the perspective of wanting an interesting race this is disappointing news.

Now, what would be REALLY interesting is it Lewis went and did the race in the […]

I really want to like this Aston Martin team, but the nepotism is going to keep me away.

With the bikes it’s more that some surfaces (including grass and gravel) are more likely to cause a sliding rider to tumble, which hugely increases the likelihood of injury.

If you think about a likely accident […]

Yep agreed.

One idea that could be trialled at a race (or 3) would be to just give significant penalties for any breach of track limits. Maybe something like: 5 second penalty for each infringement, getting 3 […]

Strongly agree with this. Bring back gravel!

@slowmo rather than remove the kerbs, I’d like to see properly high kerbs back almost everywhere. Leaving the track either accidently, or by choice as you’d carried in too much speed should carry an inherent risk.

Not by any normal definition of the word “mistake”.

Do you make a mistake every week by not buying the correct lottery ticket?

How about this for an idea:

A hard limited budget for all teams under which ALL costs must come. Anything provided by an outside company can be put into that budget at whatever cost they want (doesn’t have to […]
