11 Hilarious Suggestions You Had For Improving Formula 1

1. F1 is missing something

The S80 Rallyist

“Bring back the excitement. #BringBackCrashtor”

2. A slightly violent idea…

Samniss Arandeen

“The public execution of every environmentalist currently ruining F1 would be my minor tweak. Just line them up, gun them all down, and leave a mass grave of slaughtered eco-nuts to rot just inside Monaco’s Casino Square.”

3. Yes please!

Mr.PurpleV12

“Moar cylinders!”

4. Desperate to “improve the show”

Constandinos Zantis

“Discard all the horse poop elimination-style qualifying and whatever other gimmicks they come up with in desperation”

5. The picture makes the suggestion

Ålex Vargas Sz

“Or just one thing…V12.”

6. Bernie will probably live forever…

Joe_Car_Guy

“Get rid of Ecclestone, really not feeling the Bern.”

7. Mild rant incoming

OD_Emperor

“The regulations are a little ridiculous. Tyre limits, fuel consumption limits, aren’t there a certain number of engine limits? Like an engine has to last a few races? Or there are only X number of engine allotted per year?
“Come on nobody cares about that stuff. Engines have to last a race and that’s it, tyre limits are gone, fuel consumption put at max so they can do whatever they’d like. Want an anti-lag system? Go right ahead.
“Make it fun! Make it exciting! I’ll bet you anything the average Formula 1 viewer doesn’t have a chart at home going anorak voice “oooooh this driver only went through 4.768 sets of tyres this race when the average was 4.798!” Nobody cares and numbers like that aren’t exciting.
“What is exciting is ever faster lap times and noise levels. There’s hardly any innovation in the sport anymore compared to the 70s or 80s.”

8. Not sure if serious or..?

Chris Burn

“Rotary Engines
“Ground effect
“Fan cars
“Adaptive suspension
“Closed cockpits
“Passenger seats (rides given during qualifying to social media competition winners).
“Increase the number of gearboxes per season, and make them 10 speed.”

9. Everyone would watch that, surely?

urbnpotato156

“What if they made everyone drive a Reliant Robin?”

10. Yes please!

PetrolDuck

“You know what it needs? Morgan Freeman as a race navigator.”

11. Wasn’t expecting that comment!

BMWfan

“Allow machine guns mounted on the cars so they can shoot at each other. That would make everything more exciting.”

A 26b rotary sounds like an f1 car anyway

Add traffic lights
Imagine this: Hamilton is in the lead, oh no!!! Its a red light!! He has to wait untill it turns green. Really bad idea haha

Spike strips on the tracks that come at random times, kill the drivers brakes on corners at random times

Have a budget tot make it fair and that would be the only regulation

Maybe replace it’s TV transmissions for Rallycross or WRC would be enough. Real race battle between drivers and no bullshit. That’s what we need!

Sadly rally is also less exciting, liked it around the 2000s, maybe because I was younger…

Jesus number 2, i mean im not saying no to it….

[DELETED]

How’s about no regulations on how the cars built? Literally see whom can build the better car like racing should be.

What I really think would make f1 great again, allow manufacturers go crazy like through the 70’s - 80’s with v12s, v10’, etc, and as the last one said. Machine guns. Always. Have. Machine guns.
