Ferrari Mailing List: Re: F1 Joke-alfying

I always liked that as well, but including the mix of not knowing everyone’s tire choices or fuel loads. With refueling gone, I think it dropped a lot of excitement for a tiny improvement in pit safety.

Call me a cranky old-timer...  

why not just go back to the one hour format where fastest lap gets poll.  There was always high activity at the end scrambling for top spot.   This new format is like some cheesy game show contest.

 

Charlie Whiting is either a total F'ing idiot or he's become so bored with the sport and he's just pulling stupid ideas out of his ass that will keep HIM busy during the events.

When I first heard the change in format, I thought it would be a good idea. However, they only succeeded in bringing the empty track time from the front of each session to the back.

My immediate thought for a fix was that every team had to run the hardest possible compound and could not change the tires, at least for each session, and possibly for the whole of qualifying.

That way there's no consideration of the time involved in bringing a fresh set of tires up to temp or timing things such that the super softs get their single golden lap in at the right time. You warm the tires at the beginning of the session, and the hard compounds should be relatively stable throughout, but track grip should also improve marginally as it rubbers in, providing a small incentive to run the whole session since your competitors might be picking up tenths here or there...

Politics is a joke.  So is F1.  Bummer.

Well i guess i should eat my words on the quail format when i said i liked what was coming!  This was not-qualifying but park-alfying and giving up.  Racing? No. BS? Yes. Lets just put a safety car out from lap 1 til the end so we can save fuel, tires and no one gets hurt.
It's the players who turned it into a joke.  Haas must be using old Ferrari advisors the way they blew it.
GET OUT AND RUN!!!
A few tweaks and it will work.  After the eliminations in each round the remaining need to set times until the end. or whatever.
