Okay folks, it is the off season time for useless debates.

If you could change one thing about F1 (and just one thing you anoraks) what would it be and why?

    Get rid of track limits. I never want to hear those words again. Put a tire barrier in the corner you don’t want people to cut. automatically sanction people who cut the corner and do it immediately. Add an extra bit of asfalt that drivers have to drive on as soon as the have cut a corner, so they loose 5 seconds per lap when they do that. Be creative.

      They always say the asphalt corners and run offs are for safety, which I get. I have always figured there should be a grass/gravel moat though. Get a meter or so of stuff the drivers don’t want to drive on right at the edge of the track. The. Turn back on to asphalt. That way if they really fuck it up they are safe but it keeps the drivers from tipping a toe over the line.

          In the drivers’ briefings tell the drivers that a construction crew has mistakenly dropped a box of nails off their truck on some random unknown portion of runoff outside of track limits.
