Should F1 Run Trailers?
With all the stupid threads around about canopies, coupe's etc...why not run trailers behind the cars.
It will cut costs in F1 as they have been requesting as the driver would have to tow his trailer behind his F1 car and the lighter and smaller the trailer the faster they will be. No more expensive shower systems, TV's, couches etc.
I think it's a far better idea than the stupid ones mentioned above

Take out the bridge at Suzuka to make it a figure-of-8 track and I think we'd have something there.

Definitely, and they have to tow their tires for the pit stops in there for the whole race. Losing the trailer would mean no more tire changes for that car!
Great idea, make sure you send it to Bernie and he will mention it in his next interview along with medals!

Don't give Bernie ideas. You could fit sponsorship on the trailers
Rule 1 of the forum, always accuse anyone who disagrees with you of bias.I would say that though.

You have to think about poor teams like Williams who could make good use to get some more money to fund their way back to the top of the heap!

the more important question is two wheels or four wheels.
