I was so excited with the FIA's decision to assign double points to the F1 championship finale, especially given the traditional venue, Abu Dhabi. After all, this is where fine folks like Nuvolari, Fangio, Clark, Stewart and Senna honed their skills and set the parameters for the history of motor racing. Thus I decided to give some suggestions of my own, to enhance our cherished championship. No need to pay, Mr, Todt. I am giving this free of charge. All I want is genuine emotion.
First of all I think F1 should adopt NASCAR style score. I reckon things would be narrow. This might also be the only chance Marussia amd Caterham get of scoring points before their ultimate demise.
As for the grid, I believe the grid for the entire year should be reverse of the championship order, by that meaning Vettel would always start last, and Marussia and Caterham up front. It will be fun seeing these two teams leading the first seconds of every race before being wrecked out by a lightning faster midfielder Perhaps Alonso will win a championship for Ferrari that way.
Another reasonable option would be having Vettel always starting last. Perhaps one lap late! He should be punished for being so good! Anti-meritocracy for all. A cool 50 kg of ballast would do him good, the kid is too thin.
We could also do like the 30s, when grid positions were decided by chance. No more qualifying deciding starts, that is so passé. The qualifying thing could remain, for the heck of it, after all, it is an additional TV program and a chance to rake in a few more bucks.
Furthermore, to increase the game aspect of the category, a driver would be picked by race, to lose the scored points (remember everybody would score with NASCAR scoring). I can't wait to see the loser's face, specially if it is Maldonado. A good thing Chris Amon retired along time ago, otherwise he would be picked every race.
Fun, fun, fun. All cars would be fueled by the FIA. A couple per race would have a tad short on fuel. This would make things very exciting.
If NASCAR scoring is adopted, I also suggest awarding one point per lap a driver is last. That way, the Caterham and Marussia guys stand a chance of winning the championship. To ensure lots of passing up front, I believe a driver should lose a point for every lap led. This would level things out and change strategies.
As for tire changing, I am all for it. The only thing is, the drivers themselves would change them. The only help they would get from the pits is having the car jacked up. The driver would then remove and install the tires. No more 1.9 sec pit stops. After all, the drivers make a bundle, they should work a little more for their money. The teams would also be happy, saving on salaries and uniforms, for they would no longer require 35 guys to service a car.
Drivers who score fastest lap should also dock a few points for all that haste. They would lose 5 points on the next race, no appeal. And the FIA could also assess a speed fine, after all, the rent at Place de La Concorde must be hefty.
These are my humble suggestions. I quite positive we will have a swell championship if they are adopted.
