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?

    But the issue is the FIA wants to have a certain tyre degradation, how would a second supplier bound by the same rules solve anything?

      Whole point is to scrap that stupid rule. Its a hold over when the cars had too big a performance gap between the top and bottom.

        If we scrap tire deg then we have few to no pit stops which eliminates strategy and leaves the results up only to the fastest car. The tire manufacturers have claimed over and over they could easily make tires that last the entire race and then some but the FIA doesn’t want that

          We already have a rule that mandates a single pit stop as they have to run two different compounds of tyres so you are not going to see zero pit stops unless it rains all race, and then only if they can make inters last an entire race, which is extremely unlikely.
