@Tayyib. Good point about gravel traps. Bring back the fear of the gravel trap. There’s nothing these days to stop a driver going flat-out with no risk. It’s only human nature to minimise risk when you are leading so the fear of breaching a gravel trap WILL slow the leader down allowing the driver behind to weigh up his options and go for all or nothing. There needs to be more reward for bravery.
Ban DRS – This is really hurting F1 in a big way. It’s not real racing and for the pinnacle of motorsport it’s unacceptable. This will be the main reason i switch off if it does not disappear within a few years.
One type of tyre – I don’t care how long it lasts but i’m sick to death of teams having to run two types of tyre during the race. It really restricts those who want to attempt a one stop strategy and it adds nothing. It only exists today because it’s the only strategy available to teams. It’s dull and uninteresting and brings me to my next point.
Bring back refueling – Let the teams have the freedom to adopt whatever strategy they want and F1 will be interesting again. The main problem with 2013 was the lack of strategic options. It became even more obvious with one guy pretty much winning all the races. Changing tyres one lap earlier might help you jump the guy in front of you but a great strategy based around refueling can get you 2-3 places by the end of the race.
New qualifying format (or old if you’ve been watching long enough) – One hour sesssion, 12 laps. Honestly, nothing peeves me off more than having to sit through two meaningless qualifying sessions only to be rewarded by missing the majority of laps in Q3 because everyone is doing their laps at the same time. It’s so unsatisfying to have to wait until AFTER qualifying to see the pole lap.
I don’t anything else to add so i’ll end here. No wait – The pitlane girls could take a leaf out of Motogp, if you know what i mean :p
