Formula one, What should be done to fix the sport?

[michael223344]

Hi,
Hope this finds you well

I am a current year 12 student doing research project on spectator enjoyment in formula one and how the sport can be made more entertaining and appareling to viewers across the globe. To help in my Research I have constructed a short 10 question survey, 9 of these Questions are multiple choice and one requires a write answer.

It would be most appreciated if you could conduct this survey, and help get to the bottom of the problem!

Ahhh... here's half the problem.

Plan: we need to go back in time to 1926 to burn down the Adelaide Advertiser. Then Sir Keith might have abandoned his megalomaniacy and his son Rupert wouldn't have started The Australian either.

Keep sport free!

Done. Simple survey. Good luck with your project.

My focus would be on encouraging mechanical grip over aero grip/downforce.

[Stan Reid]

More powerful engines. These are supposed to be the best drivers in the world so they should be driving cars with 2000-3000 horsepower.

1. Whatever it takes to get rid of DRS in order to return the close racing. Give cars more mechanical grip, but less wings, so that close racing and overtakes are possible when they need to happen.

2. Get rid of all engine and transmission reliability rules. I'd love a return of the era when the technology was pushed over the edge, and engines on any of the leading cars could blow up at any lap of any race.

I don't disagree with you but that would mean losing half the field as the development costs would be prohibitive, which is the very reason these restrictions were imposed in the first place.

Surely those teams dont spend as much and stay in the lower half of the field?

More driver dinners.
Did you see the drama and intrigue during the press conference, who picked the restaurant, was the food good. Oh my, I'm still giddy from it all.
Until we reach such regular evenings out, perhaps they can lessen the effect of aero and ask Pirelli to make proper tyres, not make them design gimmicks.

Why lose them? The lower half of field could get fairly reliable and already tested out last generation engines for an affordable price.

I think one problem is the cost cutting is people seem to think we need to find a way to help Manor win a race or titles. Maybe I am wrong but thats never been the way before and shouldnt be now


It should be made cheaper to enter (second hand engines/parts maybe) but if you want to win sadly you will need money and testing.
