Isn't Russia putting a track together now, ready soon?
Explain, cos I dont think they do.
On a serious note, I think they should losen things up, or at least maybe allow for independant teams to purchase chasis/engines from manufacture teams. We could have another BMW-Williams team out there
I agree 100%! And make all of the engines sound like spitfires.No electronics between the driver and the controls. And I mean even removing the "fly-by-wire" throttle for example, go back to cables. So no traction control, launch control or anything like that.
Stick shift and clutch pedal. This will increase the mistake margin; a good or bad shift can result in an overtaking opportunity.
They would soon get so fast that a human couldn't drive it and the amount of deaths would be massive.
They should let the drivers speak freely, argue, fight with each other and strop about. This muted, sanitised horseshit is ruining the sport. Bring Back The Biff!
Cap the drivers salary at a few million and give them oodles of cash for winning races. Put the cash on a big table were we can all see it and get them to pose with it like they do with the Trophy and Champagne. Offer them Gold or Exquisite Jewelry if they would prefer it or maybe a mix of the three. It might sound stupid but there's no reason why it can't be done and it would be awsome.
Thats a bit unfair. How is Button able to drag his ass to the front of the grid in a Honda?
I'm not for manual boxes. I think paddle shifts are fine. I recon the cockpit would be safer without a gearshift anyway.Along side these amazing engines, you are saying go back to the dark ages by putting manual boxes in. F1 cars haven't been manual for almost 20 years now. What's the point in having the top motor-racing category inferior technology wise to the feeder categories?
To use a trite quote: Show Me The Money! Stack the money on a pallet and have the winner sit atop it for photographs. This is supposed to be the richest sport in the known universe! You think after staying up all night, smoking cigarettes, drinking cognac, all tired and weary that I want to watch some guy wipe the sweat off of his face, clear his throat and proceed to mumble on about god knows what into a little microphone? No! I want to see stacks of cash, celebrations and lots of beautiful ladies!!As for the cash, the drivers ALREADY big bonuses for wins. McLaren drivers were getting (and I assume they still are) $1million for every race win.
Great to see everyone putting forward sensible ideas
