First race should be the last race

Post

Hay lads,
I was thinking we never really see how much faster these cars get over a season.
so i think who ever hosts the first race of the season should also host the last one.
It would make thing interesting :)

I understand what you are trying to achieve with this, but I can't think of anything worse than having 2 GP's in Bahrain!

can they not figure this off track, i remember in 2008 they said mclaren gained something like 7/10th's vs how much money they spent comparison, can not remember the details, but i think they can figure this off track...has any team ever went slower as the year progressed? exclude this years new teams ..too easy i think i heard the gap has stayed the same as far as their pace against the front but still inside the 107% rule

The biggest issue I can see with this, is weather plays a big part in speed, and may have a massive impact on laptime.

Indeed, now we start the season with something bad, I do not want a season that starts and ends with boring grand prix. Bahrain is by far the worst grand prix on the calendar, so it should or stay first, stay last or do not stay on the calendar at all, not first and last.

Once upon a time, there was a thing called "testing", pretty much in Barcelona, that was used as a good reference.
