1. Teams can have up to 3 cars. Would allow start ups to dip their toe in the pool. Larger teams could use the third car for upcoming drivers (red that idea some place)

2. There should be more cars than grid spots. You want a chance at points, truly earn your way into the race

3. Based on the above suggestions, change the Constructor's Championship to only award points to the highest finishing car from each team.

 

Multi class open wheel racing. What a great idea. Has it been done before?
F1, GP2, and Formula Fords. That would certainly make it interesting.

 

Hobbs said he could not believe Alonso could go back to Big Mac, considering he was the one who blew the whistle on them and cost them $100 mill!

Should be interesting, but is there anywhere else he could go? Williams maybe instead of Massa?

 

I'm surprised that Kvyat is going to RB. I was expecting JEV.

 

As far as Alonso blowing whistles, there's a history of that. Remember how he won in Singapore after his teammate purposely crashed to bring out a safety car? Alonso blew the whistle on his own team, was allowed to keep his win & managed to be found not at fault even though he was a knowing participant. Should have been Nico's first win.

Edit & a correction. Having just reread about the events at the 2008 Singapore GP it was Piquet who blew the whistle when he was told by the team he was being dropped. Alonso spilled the beans on condition nothing would happen to him. Class acts for all involved. :incazzato:

 

Amazingly, Eddie Jordan on BBC said that Ron Dennis might 'step aside' to let McLaren take Alonso. EJ was pretty emphatic that Alonso was joining Honda and so would be in a McLaren by default.

 

Who took pole?

 

I think EJ is pretty well connected in the F1 garage. It is just a rumor, but I think it is more than likely a solid one.

I and probably a few others might be pretty upset about a change in the schedule. My DVR is already set. Where I am I need to set the DVR to record two separate programs at the same time. I never know what channel the race will be broadcast on. Last night, qualifying was on a different channel, because the regular one got pre-empted by a football game. :incazzato:

 

Let's not forget that Dennis already stepped away once only to come back because Whitmarsh was going nowhere fast. So stepping g away again to get FA back on the team would not necessarily be anything the PR guys would loose much sleep over.

A wet Suzuka would be fun to watch. Not red flag wet, but just wet enough. [emoji1]
