Will be interesting if noteworthy points are implemented.

They made the same mistake twice?

Have filled it in, but some of the questions were odd.

The celebrity and perception of F1 questions were strange. I thought fans were being consulted on thoughts about F1 and the racing, not on whether or not we need more celebs involved.

As for the question about a randomised sprinkler system in place to make it a wet race!

Oh yes, that one is hilarious.

I thought that was a sensible question because F1 DOES trade to a certain extent on the celebrities that attend the events. I call it the "Princess Grace" factor as it's been around since at least the days of Princess Grace and Prince Rainier.

If you want to survey ALL aspects of F1 events, then you need to be asking questions about non-technical matters such as this. There were quite a few questions about sponsors and brands as well - which have been pretty crucial in F1 for almost 50n years but are now in decline.

I must have misunderstood what they were asking. I thought that as an avid fan of the sport for over twenty years, I was going to be asked about the sport itself.

The celeb side doesn't interest me at all. But I see your point about trading on status and character etc.
