On Sunday night Sky F1 showed the 2005 Japanese Grand Prix which Raikkonen won on the last lap. It was of course a classic race under unusual circumstances but what stood out for me was the visible speed and effort the drivers were putting in compared to the 2015 cars. 10 years on you would think F1 would have progressed, but it has undoubtedly REGRESSED.

I don't think it is difficult to fix personally, but F1 needs to decide what it wants. Does it want manufacturer / big business entries, or does it want privateer / budget entries? It wants both - currently it is trying to please both, and failing to please most - and totally failing to please the watching public.

1) Unlimited testing. And no rules against in-season development. It is killing F1 at the moment. If you are not quick in Australia, the season is over. Gone are the days like 2004 when McLaren started with a terrible car and ended it with a race-winning one.

2) Get rid of penalties for car changes. This is not the drivers fault so stop making stupid regulations that confuse the public.

3) Get rid of DRS. We do not want more overtaking. We want intense, close battles. Having DRS makes passing too easy - and takes the skill away. Why should the driver in front be sabotaged for being in front? It is the driver behinds job to overtake him. Some tracks are better than others, and none of them need DRS - it is a gimmick that needs to be done away with ASAP.

4) Q3 Qualifying should be a "Super-Pole" session with Qualifying tyres. In fact I wouldn't have a Q1 or Q2, simply a Q1 with all 20 cars, and a Q2 top 10 Super Pole.

5) Engine manufacturers who run teams (a k a Mercedes and Ferrari) should be forced to give engines to other makes should they want them - and should give them the best engines they have. Mercedes current dominance of F1 is far worse than Red Bulls through 2010-2013 because they are in effect "controlling" F1 by having customer teams like Lotus and Williams who they will not give the best engines to. And Ferrari and Renault's engines are not good enough to compete (and are not allowed to develop quick enough in season) - therefore it is a two-tier championship of Mercedes power.

When will Mercedes realize that winning in their current fashion is not good for themselves or anybody? Fine for one season, 2014, but two, three in a row? Every will turn off if they haven't already.

I don't see much changing for 2016, hopefully Ferrari will be a little closer and Vettel can take the fight to Hamilton. I'm looking forward to 2017 with the changes proposed so far.
