Link here Some of the changes suggested have been heard before, but I doubt if many of them will be very popular with the fans - shortening the races, alternating the French and British GP, using a power boost for over taking and having two 45 min races instead of one long race (sound like A1 at all?) |

Is that why the bored thread is so popular? I don't think so. |

Maybe Flavio is just referring to the current batch of new pit babes? |

I think it's time for him to hangup his cocktail glass and put on some slippers. |

From the article:
Is it just me ... or do they not think these things through properly? This "aid" would actually reduce overtaking. Here's why: Scene 1: Lead driver: "Oooh - someone's overtaking me by pressing their boost button ... right ... BOOOST!" 2nd driver: "Bah - he boosted too." Scene 2: Spyker/Aguri driver: "Oooh I seem to have qualified further up the grid due to some rain or other shenanigans. Someone's tring to overtake me - BOOOST! ha!!" You could limit the number of boosts allowed per lap but that doesn't fix scene 1. |

None of his suggestions would improve the show. If you made one race into 2, it would just be a souped-up GP2 race. F1 should stay as it has for many years. It would be more interesting if the cars could overtake. |

i thought they already had a temporary booster, we just know it as a rev limit... they're always saying "turn the engine down" or "use the engine to get past" on the radio, no ? |

I cant read the story but I do wonder what how it would be less boring by making two of the most influential countries in F1 share a GP? How About Italy sharing one with Spain then you fker!

Says you. I find golf extremely dull, but there are many who would disagree with me. |

Few hours. I'm good. Will sleep much this weekend. Plus it gives me good training for when the little one gets here. |
