FIA think about the rules a bit more in future please

Guest 6 March 2005 05:31:07
 
I think this weekend has proven one thing. The FIA do not have a clue when
it comes to making sensible rules. Did they really spend more than one
minute working out the rules for this season before heading down to the pub.
The combination of bad qualifying rules and these new two race engine rules
have led to the worst practice and qualifying sessions of all time.
There are just too many loop holes that are there to be exploited at the
expense of the public. I reckon the teams have spent way more money than
previous years when the aim was to reduce the cost of the sport.

I have explained several times over the years that aggregate times are not
fair and a much better way is to combine positions either simply by
averaging positions, or otherwise by allocating points so that achieving the
best time in a session is more highly rewarded.

I hope who ever was responsible was proud of himself as several drivers did
not even bother running in the second qualifying session.

Not only that they also benefitted by being able to get a brand new engine
in the process.

Maybe Australia ought to accept being left out of international motor sport
by the FIA and start their own world series using some common sense in
working out the rules.
N.B
I dont agree with Stoddart trying to run outside of the rules except on
safety grounds as the car was totally un-tested.

What this has done is completely killed any interest in watching
qualifying. I'm sorry, but the old "12 laps, whenever you like in the
session" worked; ok, there might be nothing on track for 40 minutes,
but by God that last 20 could be thrilling. All the single-car formats
they've been trying are pathetic.

But, everything has to be bite-size now, and there has to be something
for James Allen and similar slow-witted imbeciles to drool over at all
times, so single-car qualifying was introduced to "increase the
spectacle".

If I still cared about F1 I'd be angry, but I can only look upon it
these days in the way one looks at an animal that needs putting out of
its misery.

I totally agree with you. I keep telling myself this is not meant to be a
made for TV soap opera or a staged stunt like WWF but it is meant to be the
pinacle of sport.

Bring back proper qualifying (prefably two sessions on Sat and Sun,
combining positions not times) and get rid of the two race engine rule.
Give the public an exciting practice and qualifying and I will start going
to the races again.

I'm not fan of single-car qualifying and never have been - check my
past posts - but two things: one, give it a chance; two, there was
enormous pressure to do something different.

Sorry, by describing someone in this manner is clearly off charter in
this newsgroup. Please don't do it again.

If you don't care about it, why get so upset? Actually, qualifying did
its job, which was to provide an interesting grid for the race. The
weather would have jumbled it that way with or without the agregation.

Now let's at least wait and see how good the second session is when
pole is truly up for grabs. (Main problem is that we won't get to see
it in the UK, not the format itself.)

I have to agree. F1 has now become nothing more than a rich mans parade. I
can actually say it's now no better than NASCAR. Sorry F1 but you've blown
in the guise of creating a more competitive sport.
