and also introduce a sprinkler system at every track, because we all know that wet races are always good!!!!

Sprinkler at Eau Rouge that comes at at random intervals throughout the race without no warning

This year has been great for the most part , leave it  alone for a while and bring on 2013 for some real action due to the more level playing field.

f1 is fine, has been for years. I don't get why they have to change things constantly. The points have already been changed once and ruined any comparison of future f1 with past f1

Bring back the old days I say. let the teams make their own decisions as regards tyres, fuelling etc. Then truly, the best team wins. I do agree with putting a cap on budgets though. Some teams just arn't as well off.

On a contraversial note, F1 could adopt the same as golf. have handycaps and situate teams around the track as they see fit. To do that would mean either let them go early and do the same amount of laps, or they start at the same time, but do less laps. You would see the front runners really pushing then if they need to reel in a couple of laps on the slower cars to be able to finish in any kind of position.
The handycapped teams though would not necessarily get the same reward money as the better teams, but that could be used as an incentive to catch up.

I forgot to mention, sprinklers should spray WD40, not water.

Also, random wildlife should be sporadically released onto the circuit.

They should equip the cars with lazer guns and targets al la Lazerquest.

Get hit, drive through penalty.

Why not paintball guns?

I think what they need to do is get a set of rules and stick with them. Leave F1 alone for a few years and see how the technology evolves over time. The massivly aero dynamic cars of 2008 were brilliant! The season was one of the best then they said "for the competition" it has to go. Hamilton and Massa had one of the best fights in F1 for years!!!!

Imagine if there were no limits on how far the technology used in F1 could go. If they had left them to play with the aero set ups and Turbo's of the 90's with the vacums under cars the results would be increadible!!! Think where we get our road car technology, half of it spurs off from F1. I mean who the hell would ever think you would get a rear diffuser on a Renault Clio?! If F1 had been left to develop Turbo's, chassis and aero set ups we could have some unbelievable engines and set ups on road cars today!!!

I think they should just say theres a budget, do whatever you want with it! Some cars would have KERS development, others with Turbo's, othersusing massive downforce aero packs. The cars would look unreal! Then one person would come out with a random design and change everything like the  Tyrrell P34 did!

That should be what F1 is all about!

^^^ On the topic of leaving teams to develop cars for ultimate performance, Martin Brundle was talking about it a few races ago. He said that if teams were left to develop their own stuff then cars would pull so much G through the corners that drivers would black out.

Sort the men from the boys haha.

No but if that were to happen the teams would have to find ultimate car performance to match ultimate driver performance, best cars and best drivers win. As it should be.
