Do you think the teams will let the drivers knacker their brand new engines by doing donuts?

Martin Brundle tweeted this morning "The irony is that I doubt teams will allow 'victory donuts' with their precious new long-life, heat sensitive engines and gearboxes".

So we'll have to wait and see.

I don't think I'd care for donuts for long if they became the norm after winning a race. Winning a home race, first race or a championship, yes, but if the winning driver did it after every race... no.

Donut championship to be started with points awarded to the driver based on ability to perform.

1] clean donut, full 360 circle produced deductions for broken circles or half hearted attempts
2] additional points awarded for specialist skills, hands free, waving, pointing to crowd or team mates
3] drivers allowed to remove hans device for donut to ensure head swivel and eye contact through full gyration
4] donuts perfomed mid race following spin out and recovery will be counted to final season score allowing lower teams to enter competition
5] further rules from FIA to follow

Until the title is decided, I agree.

Who the hell wants to watch someone do a donut anyway? This is formula 1, the pinnacle of motorsport - not McDonalds carpark.

They should be compulsory at the start of the race. When the lights go out the drivers should all have to do doughnuts before they accelerate across the startline.

That'd be loads better.
