Simple idea to make a dull runaway F1 season more fun?

[Smollet]

F1 is supposed to be the pinnacle of motorsport. Where it's gone wrong to a certain extent is introducing gimmicks to make more interesting to the casual viewer. Starting at the back of the grid if you've done well would be just another nail in its coffin

Nope, you need lions. That would make things interesting.
Or perhaps other random animals dropped in the cockpit prior to the race; I'm thinking snakes, badgers, komodo dragons, that sort of thing. It could either be done on a handicap basis whereby the leading driver gets the nastiest critter to race with or alternatively they could draw lots at the start. I'd pay good money to watch Maldonado get savaged by a honey badger...

This idea has some merit.

When a driver pits make him fight an animal before the mechanics can work on the car.

If they just want to fit new tyres then wrestle an alligator, fuel can be a big cat, lion or tiger and if they need new body work they have to go toe to toe with a Honey Badger.

Depending on where they're racing the animal could change too, kangaroo boxing at the Australian GP, bear fighting at the Russian GP or wrestling a 500 Euro note out of Bernie Ecclestones' fist at Monaco

Jet-skis might have sped up this weekend's proceedings.
