Fantasy time.

Call me Mr. Moneybags, I have money seeping out of every pore lol.

So i own FOM and formula 1 in general

i and my team split the FIA into formula 1 and all other motorsports
and we run all aspects of F1 including all the rules

I and my team head the World Motor Sports Council, so we can make
sure all rules and penalties are enforced properly

I buy all the tracks used/to be used in F1, or buy the rights to run races.
for example street tracks

All tracks get paid by FOM to stage F1 races, not the other way around.

all 13 teams will be paid by Fom to run in the F1 championships from a
fund. Averaging about £300m each. This is to pay for maintenance of the
cars, engines, gearboxes etc…Drivers and team personnel paid for by
sponsors.

4 4 day tests before start of season, with test days after selected Grands
Prix during the season.

Unlimited engines and gearboxes etc… during the season And no
penalties for changing these parts on the car.
Engine capacity upto teams to decide what they all want, and no restriction
on revs

Rear wing widened slightly and the front wing reduced to the area
between the front wheels.

as much aero taken off the bodywork and wings as possible

Traction control, active suspension, abs, F-duct style technology allowed

4 tyre manufacturers
GOODYEAR
BRIDGESTONE
MICHELIN
PIRELLI
back in the sport, supplying all four types of tyre (super soft, soft,
medium and hard) and 2 types of intermediate and 2 types of full wet tyres
for each team per weekend. If it rains then both types of inters or wets to
be used
the manufacturers can make the tyres as hard or as soft as they
like within tolerances. I’m sure different drivers will prefer
different types of tyre so will be faster at different stages of a
race.
all 4 types of tyre to be used during the race
Each tyre manufacturer to supply to 3 teams each in a lottery, and one
manufacturer to supply 4 teams
each tyre compound would be different colours, for example
super soft (yellow), soft (blue), medium (red) and hard (orange).
And as the tyres wear down you would be able to see the wear
rate as the colour fades

prize money for each event will be paid as usual, however the Constructor
Championship prize money (normally paid the following season) will be
paid after each event

all penalties to be given during the race, and not considered later
after the race has finished.

FOM will be the broadcaster for all events, but allowing each countries
television broadcaster access to choose when they want to show replays
etc…. and All team radio will be broadcast at the discretion of the
commentators for each country. Tv companies will not have to pay as much
to broadcast the races

maximum of 2 engine supplies from each engine manufacturer,
for example Mercedes would supply their own team and one other
Renault the same, ferrari the same etc.. Maybe then Toyota,
Peugeot, Porsche etc… will come to F1

fuel will have a minimum amount to be put in the car, say at least
10 kg’s left in the tank after the race
the drivers should be able to drive as fast and safely as they can
without having to slow to save fuel and tyres etc…

all edges of the tracks and run off areas shall be made to slow the
cars down, like gravel traps

drivers helmets will have had studies to see if the visor area
can be made to be open further back on the head to allow
better peripheral vision ( not even sure if this is possible on safety
grounds

If a safety car is deployed then none of the lapped cars can be
allowed to join the back of the pack. If drivers have several lapped
cars between them, then TOUGH deal with it

everyone’s cars will have the drivers names on their cars, like
Mclaren used to do. maybe large letters on the nose cone, or on the engine
cover

Teams would not have to pay to participate in Formula 1

Ticket prices would be much lower

I would open a website to allow people to purchase race dvd’s etc… and not
be a pain about people watching and uploading F1 stuff

Telemetry can be used to receive and send information to and from the car
this is the 21st century and the cars should show this, not return the cars to
seem like they are from the 50’s

Drivers have button to press when coming in pits to tell the team and race
director. If team comes out and no driver comes in then drive through penalty
for both drivers. This is for sporting and safety reasons. Let’s see how many
teams try a bluff on other teams with that penalty.

DRS will be available all the time except in the wet. Let’s see how many
drivers use it more than others

Should i pay the Track marshalls?

each team can only have 7 mechanics in the pitlane during a pitstop

I would have many races on a rotation over 2 seasons, and i have an example based on 2014.2015 seasons. I tried my best to reduce the amount of races, (it was hard), to 21 races per season. I did start with 25 races each season. Also I have moved MONACO back a week to try somehow to accomodate INDY 500 into the F1 season. I don’t really know how that would work. Maybe you guys have good ideas on that.

I hate having 5 weeks for the summer break, so i have made it 3 weeks. Maybe the teams need to hire more team personnel to allow more time off.

Right over to you guys to see what you think and get your ideas???????

[minnis]

Some good ideas in there. Love the idea about the website, and DRS, although I’d be fine with a KERS style rule (for a set amount of time per lap/race, regardless of where the car in front is).

With the tyres, I would love for the teams to choose which tyres they want to bring before each race (I.e, 2 sets of hards, 5 mediums, 0 softs, 1 super soft etc). That way it won’t increase costs for pirelli (if they have a limit, say 50 sets of each per season etc), and would introduce loads more variety in strategy.

Also, sorry but I don’t like your pit-button idea. I think its fine the way it is now – they’re not allowed to wait in the pit lane lap after lap.
And penalty for both drivers? Let’s be honest, everyone knows Webber would have hit that button in Brazil last year to get Seb a penalty.

@ minnis

Thanks for ur comments m8

I should have been more detailed with each part. I would be mega rich and pay for all the tyre/tires myself so no extra cost to the manufacturers or the teams.

As for the pit button idea, same again i should have been clearer. The button is for each driver so the teams would know it was webber and not vettel, as would the race director. I feel too may teams have their guys in the pits when they are not needed, and get in the way and it is not safe.

@scunnyman

Good luck trying to run this business, would be lucky to get half way through the season.

[scunnyman]

@f199player. Why would I struggle?

[f199player]

@scunnyman

Because you are putting a lot of money into this with no real income and also teams costs are going to far exceed the amount you are offering unless they get major sponsors. You want loads of engine manufactor to come in with rules that don’t appeal to them

[scunnyman]

@f199player

Please describe how you would run F1?

Most teams now spend appoximately $300m not £300m and they have to pay for Everything. My way they don’t pay for engines or tyres or gearboxes or pretty much anything on the car.

As for engine suppliers, what rules would put them off

As for not running the sport for very long, as i said right at the beginning i would be mega rich, with so much money i could run F1 as a hobby.

I’m glad for your input, please give me more.

[f199player]

@scunnyman

You’ll be trying to spent far too much money with no way of bringing in money, asking the fans to pay less so less money comes in, Paying circuits to host races. Unlimited Engines and Gearboxes, using the Renault V10 from 2005 as an example cost $150,000-$200,000 and with 3 practices, qualifying and race you could be looking at approx $1 million in engines alone for one car and you are looking for 26 car grids, also looking to do 21 races per season, thats way too much money and no business person would be willing to put so much money into a business that loses money

[scunnyman]

@f199player. Talk about missing the point. I did say fantasy time

[f199player]

@scunnyman

Even in fantasy time i wouldn’t think for these, no disrespect but its stupid ideas

[scunnyman]

@f199player

That’s fine i did this thread for a bit of fun, nothing serious.

[f199player]

@scunnyman

its good to talk about ideas
