Madness!!! This is really going to hell!

TWO races during weekend?? That's not Grand Prix anymore.

Even with money race, what's the purpose. Give bigger teams MORE money?? Of course that bigger teams are going to win more races and get more money.

Better if they scrape all testing during the season (including private tracks), then Friday sessions will have intended purpose to practice. Tams anyway wants to reduce costs but they are throwing money on testing, and preparing on Friday for races.

KEEP IT SIMPLE!

Jey I have a idea. Why don't they do like A2 GP. On there friday they use rookie drivers for feed back to help set up the car. Wait bernie won't ;ike that, because it is a idea from A1 Gp. A rivel of his sport

Here's an idea...

Completely reverse the driver-to-car lineup for these Friday races... The points leader must get into the last place car and so on! That would really show who is the better driver by taking away the car advantage!

What's the Henry VI quote:"First we kill all the lawyers". Formula One did very well at one time WITHOUT all the current management and bureaucracy. Can we please JUST have real racing! Screw Safety cars, More Sporting Regs, Spec everything and show races

So in light of the recent economic crisis, I would like to resurrect an idea that I read about a year ago in an editor column in car magazine... The writer was speaking about how F1 was becoming dull and of different ways to spice it up again. One suggestion was that pensioners be able to race. I mean think about it, how awesome would it be to see a bunch of people racing that couldn't even hold their helmets up?!?! And now, with the $1m purse, it would allow some of these poor folks that have lost all of their retirement funds in the current closures and sales of banks to have something to live off of...

Like Mario Andretti, Emerson Fittipaldi, Johnny Rutherford, Dan Gurney, AJ Foyt, Hurley Haywood, Gordon Johncock, George Folmer and Jackie Stewart? colladgrn, I'm not yet a senior and I found your post offensive.

How about going back to pract and qualy on both Fri and Sat like they used to? That way if a driver gets caught out by rain late friday he has another crack at it Sat. Pole based on best time from either day.

they should just put all the drivers in pit lane and let them fight it out, whoever's left standing takes pole.

You probably like WWF too. Go to their website and leave us alone.
