Want more excitement and unpredictability?


Maybe we could bring back manual shifting...



NAH that's just what they'll be expecting.  Not nearly gimmicky enough.    Roll Eyes





P.S.  I hate all the new Tilke tracks.

Isn't funny that the guy that got caught with the 5 nazi prostitutes in the concentration camp themed sex party was the "normal one" of the two?

Seriously, it's time for Bernie to stop ruining F1.

Why not? Hell, make it a crash-up derby and require all the drivers to have at least a D-cup sized breast implants.  I'd watch.

I think he's on the right track but needs to go further, I propose snow making machines crank up the excitement for the last 7 1/3 laps.

since the tires they run already have such tall sidewalls, how about they just make them solid rubber?

would reduce costs, since they'd last all race.

would also require skill in the cockpit.

that's a win/win in my book.  Grin

Can you believe back in the '80s a BMW F1 1.5 liter turbo charged engine produced 1300 hp ?

That's only 1500ccs.

It was a 4 cylinder I believe.

Put that in a bike .   

I'd ride it !

I'm sure that one had much higher boost levels than they'll allow on these upcoming.

They're saying VW/Audi might jump into the fray now with these engines.
Be nice to see some more new technology develop and trickle down to the rest of us.  waytogo
