Another angle would be that we would all have to avoid ANOTHER batch of SPOILERS around the web/tv!!

That would send me over the edge!!!!!!   :crazy:

All the best,

So racing on a Saturday with no points for grid positions on tracks where overtaking is impossible what is the point of that?
Fi costs are astronomical $20k will get nowhere take all four corners off and nose could be in the ballpark of $200 or $300k.
If they really want to spice up the spectacle give the teams the freedom to develop mechanical grip and remove most of the aero.
Liberty are looking more and more like bad news!
Once you have retired every day is a Saturday!

This idea has been raised before and is as nonsensical now as it was previously, arguably more so, given how restricted engine and gearbox lifespan has become under the rules.  Qualifying is not the problem.  The drama of getting out of the dropzone is actually quite exciting, especially in Q2.  It is the racing which is the problem and that's where Liberty Media needs to look if it wants to do something about the dire state of modern Formula 1.
