How to make F1 more exciting...

[d9f1c7]

How's this for an idea? We have quailifying as now for the first race. For all the other races they start in reverse order of their current standings. What do you think?

[T&S]

How about all cars are exactly the same, that way you'll see who the best drivers are.

Either that or they have to reverse around the track!

[d9f1c7]

they tried that A1, sank without trace!

[T&S]

A1....I'd forgotten all about that!

When the F1 comes to Silverstone, let's see that Boat Race idiot, Trenton Oldfield, run on the track in front of the approaching cars! That should make F1 more exciting.

[d9f1c7]

ok this is a serious idea, I was hoping not to attract a load of crackpot suggestions so can we evaluate the pros and cons of the suggestion please.

[THECORBYLOON]

Introduce zebra crossings...

[d9f1c7]

ok forget it looks like it's troll Saturday, carry on ar5seh0les.

[ummmm]

You're an angry man, aren't you?

[tonyav]

Could make it so that they all have identical engines, that would show which teams have the best engine tuners and skillful drivers imo.

[d9f1c7]

is anyone prepared to discuss the original idea?

[tonyav]

Well what do you think of my idea d9f1c7.

[d9f1c7]

the engines are pretty well identical anyway

[THECORBYLOON]

If they start in reverse order, is there not more chance of accidents at the very start since the slower or less skillful ones will be in front of the faster and more able drivers?

[wiltsman]

I do apologise d9fic7, I thought this was a light-hearted thread, considering the suggestion you made.

[Frank97]

Having last weeks winners starting at the back would just lead to more accidents as the faster cars try to get past the slower ones.

[tonyav]

No there not and neither are the chassis.

[Prudie]

My partner thinks it's a brilliant idea but should be done like British Touring car races where the top 10 only go in reverse (the argument being that if you put the last people first they are so slow it would be dangerous at the start??)

[sedge47]

I've long thought that your suggestion was the only way to make the thing the least bit interesting. The current way of doing things is a bit like giving Usain Bolt a one metre start on all the other runners in a 100 metre race.

[d9f1c7]

who said anything about alst weeks winners D97? Very funny wiltsman, my sides are splitting. TCL so you can engage the brain cell, well done!

[Frank97]

My mistake, but I still don't like the idea!
