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.”

Add these…

Not opposed to #2, I’ll be quite honest

The theme to Team America started playing in my head when I saw 11.

I say give cars rear and front facing paint ball guns that can only be fired in the Drs zones

My opinion? Give every team a certain budget that they are forbidden to exceed, and loosen the grip on a few of the current regulations. That’ll get people into it.

damn it no. 7 make me reads with clarkson’s redneck accent. lol

tbf it would be cool to stick all drivers in robin’s for the qualifier see who comes out on top haha

There is already production car championships all over the world. F1 cars are not production cars therefore F1 should change the regulations on engines, gearboxes, tyres, fuel. F1 is all about the money, so why change it.

Also losing the narcissist leader Bearnie Eccelstone would do.

Whoever wrote number 7 clearly doesn’t know enough about F1 to be making suggestions about F1. Sounds like it was cobbled together from the headlines of what everyone’s been complaining about with the sport.
