What is RB doing is pretty lame coz IIRC they didn`t moan back when they were mighty, I mean in an era when F1 cars was dominated by aerodynamics …
And now, when the F1 is on the right path they are moaning and even threaten FIA with a departure coz F1 now, FINALLY, does something really relevant to auto industry : hybrid technology …
My belief is their only purpose and journey in F1 was purely for marketing reasons, coz they are just a soft drink company after all …
Now they are facing a real engineering challenge and having no car manufacture backing they have a slump in results, and finally a downturn with their soft drink sales.
I think they should have bought Renault sport F1 engine department or another big engine company with a background and pedigree in F1 and make their own engines, but this path was doomed going nowhere coz they are a soft drink company, after all, isn`t it?
So RB, like Totonator said, you have only two choices: one is to shut up now, scratch your heads and try to work harder if you still believe your no.1 in the F1 business, coz you have tones of money for this task … or, the second choice, face the consciences!
But let`s forget about this lame story and get back to what we enjoy …
Guys, we have to face it : the actual F1 has come into a boring phase and we need something new to spice the things up and improve the show, don`t you think?
So I challenge you into a brainstorming action in order to improve the show …
They are many ideas, some good and some not so good, but what we need nowadays is something real simple with immediate and low cost effects.
So there`s a simple solution form my part:
1. The first and the most important thing is how to increase overtaking actions, coz after all is what we – the fans – want the most, isn`t it?
This thing could be done by reversing the grid, but not for just the first 8 drivers (like they are doing GP2 or other competition), I mean for all the drivers!
2. For this we should tweak a little bit the actual scoring points system and the main reason is to give some incentive even to the last small team.
3. So the new system points allocation will be the same (I multiplied with 4 the actual one), with the same proportion like the present system for the first 8 places, as follows:
1) 100p.
2) 72p.
3) 60p.
4) 48p.
5) 40p.
6) 32p.
7) 24p.
8.) 16p.
9) 12p.
10) 11p.
11) 10p.
12) 9p.
13) 8p.
14) 7p.
15) 6p.
16) 5p.
17) 4p.
18) 3p.
19) 2p.
20) 1p.
4. Qualy and the race will be awarded with the same system points allocation and after the race they will add both qualy and race points that were achieved.
5. Finally, after the championship is ended their points will worth money with an so called currencies exchange rate, or if not with the current formula money allocation.
I now that`s not a flawless proposal and that`s why I need your feedback in order to do something to improve the show, coz I truly believe that we are the most rightful to do that …
And after all the system is done and polished maybe someone would bring it to Bernie
and finally all of us will see some shiny days in F1 for everybody …
P.S. Please, guys spare me with your crocodile tears
