Id like to see the same points awarded on a Saturday as they are on a sunday...but then reverse the grid for the race. It would mean you'd aim for 25 points on the qualifier start in 10th place and have to race to get another 25 points for the win without just pissing off into the sunset as per most of the pole sitters.
Does that mean if you had a 10 place grid penalty for changing your engine you'd move up the grid?
I was only thinking of the first 10 places on the grid getting reversed...so the 10 grid place penalty would still take them further down the list

How about 1 point for fastest lap in each of the three Qualy sessions?

As well as 1 for fastest lap ...

Other ideas bernie might be considering

Rolling pit stops, where the car doesnt have to come to a complete stop
Not double points...but 1 and a half points for the new circuits bernie wants to curry favour with
After Sochi, EVERY country leader is invited into the drivers cool-down room afterwards

as the V6 dont make the right noise, and the V8 too thirsty, teams must use newly developed V7 engines, dveloped at great cost to themselves and the engine manufacturing, in a bid to reduce costs. These mihgt be used for 2017 before the reintrosuction of the v6 in 2018.

To help the smaller teams reduce costs, windrunnel wind speeds limited to 100mph

To help reduce costs, teams must develop new steering arrangement as current rack and pinion mechanism too costly

Every team must provide third car and driver, ready to qualify and race, to be ready at every circuit at 5 minutes notice, at their expense, just in case other teams fold and they need to make up the numbers. Teams to finance this themsleves, in a bid to reduce costs.

Teams to help subsidise gate tickets for fans, in a bid to reduce costs for fans

I just remember the old days of btcc when Mike Smith pitted for fresh tyres and got fastest lap and the points that came with it and someone had to explain to Frank Sytner that it was his team mate, he was furious
Was/is Frank ever not furious biggrin

as much as i like the idea of a point for pole & point for FL's ...it would've made bu&&er all difference to this years WDC (+/- 2pts) & would've made Merc's already dominant position in the WCC even greater (presuming they get points too)

It's getting silly now.

May as well just let any team use whatever engine they want.

Hmmm... I think there's a few Rosberg fans in the room! wink

Slightly OT, but is there a way to replay the radio messages on some site either during the race, or post-race?
http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/category/regular-featur...

This is normally the easiest way to get them a few days after the race.
A big thanks to you for posting that link - the transcript gives a lot of insight which otherwise you'd never see.

No just pole.

In race fastest lap would just have everyone 11th back pitting on the last lap for new tyres

It would certainly spice things up though, wouldn't it?
