The main reason for writing this piece is that ‘they’ don’t seem to realise this need for improved accessibility and instead dream up more ridiculous rules.

The best thing they could have done for 2010, with the banning of refueling is to make strategy more free and allow teams to do what they like – i.e. someone could elect not to stop at all or someone could stop 5 times and put the softest, grippiest tyres known to man on their wheels. – that would be sure to guarantee exciting racing.

*sadly the survey doesn’t have a text box for my suggestion, hence as a fan and writer my overall review of the survey is that it’s a waste of time.

It’s long been my standing that “Overtaking Working Group” have no idea what they’re doing. Their meetings probably consist of a coffee-mornings with pop music and random ideas being thrown around then being submitted because ‘they might work’.
It doesn’t take an idiot to figure out that rule stability produces close racing. With the engine-freeze starting a couple of years ago, the only improvements that can be made were on aerodynamics and once a car had reached the edge of the envelope further developments were bringing miniscule amounts. This allowed the slower teams to catch up, rather than be faced with a constantly moving goal. By 2005, most teams had caught up with Ferrari since they simply could not make their cars go any faster because they’d peaked within the rules.
Overhauling the rules has always created large gaps between the cars. We had Brawn last year, and previously the big rule-change was 1998 where McLaren were so far ahead that they lapped the entire field in the first race.

The new Qualifying tyre rule is ridiculous (and has irked me somewhat).
F1 teams consist of mostly-boring people whose idea of a perfect GP is to have their cars perform optimum laptimes consistantly and finish miles ahead of everyone else with as few interactions with other cars as possible. These people should not be entrusted with attempting to ‘improve the show’. The only reason i can think of for this idiotic idea is so that the teams don’t have to fire their strategists.
Last year we had the announcement that low-fuel qualifying was back and we all rejoiced, this year we had the announcement that proper qualifying was to carry knock-on effects for the race again and we groaned.
Hello teams and organisers, i’ll tell you how to improve qualifying: 1 session, 1 hour, fresh tyres, 12 Laps. And abolish that stupid blocking rule; if a driver gets held up with 2mins to go then that’s the team’s fault for leaving it so late.
