Once the chaos of the race start is over, I’d love for there to be a complete lap from onboard cameras without any commentary, just the sound of the car, seeing the driver working it around.

If someone else has tried something & it failed miserably, then why doesn’t F1 learn from those mistakes rather than trying to emulate them?

I think it reinforces my view about the teams and FOM – they both think the same way because they haven’t the faintest idea about who’s watching.

If someone gives a 4 or 5 for “medals” wouldn’t they be giving a 2 or 1 for the “point system” and vice versa. Then if there are more votes for one system it’s score should be above 3 and for the opposing answer it should be below 3.

You simply shouldn’t have two diametrically opposed answers both with a positive score. Either the people filling in the forms are idiots, or the scoring system used in the survey is inherently flawed (or both).

Inevitably a balance has to be struck between courting the casual fans (because there’s gold in them thar’ hills) and satisfying the existing, dedicated fan base.

To an extent the two go hand-in-hand. For example, I think both casual and hardcore fans would be happy to see more stable rules.

And happily, I think the survey shows there isn’t an appetite for gimmicks like reverse grids even among the casual fans.

What I am concerned about is how far they are going to go with the overtaking thing. Max Mosley has spoken in the past about creating a situation where a car following another is advantaged by being in its slipstream. Do we really want a NASCAR-like situation where the cars are constantly passing each other? I don’t thin hardcore fans would, but that might appeal more to the mainstream. I’d be interested to hear what people make of that idea.

Another thing FOTA has come out with is changing tracks to make them more overtaking-friendly. I’m concerned that doing this will just spoil the tracks and make them even more homogeneous.

Change the cars so that drivers can follow each other closely, and let them do the rest. But let’s not end up with 18 Bahrain Internationals on the calendar. F1 needs diversity.

For qualy i think we all agree that a perfect blinding fast lap with almost no fuel is what differences a very fast driver from the others. and thats what we want to see!

Theres another thing nobody has said for tv coverage. but when i watch races in speed latin america i get veeery desperate to see how low the volume of the engines is! and how the commentators are just talking in such a dull manner, that makes is veeeery boring (not for me coz im watching live timing) but for any newcomer i would be very boring,, because you only see the cars but you dont hear them and that doesnt make sense the speed… if you dont hear them they look slow… anyway, i think ANYTHING that would improve the SENSE OF SPEED the cars have, to the tv. would make a much much better spectale… (closer cameras or i dont know, what do you guys think?

These kinds of question lead to bias, especially when surveying people with only limited knowledge and interest in the sport.
