from the peanut gallery

“All cars the same! Simple. May the best driver win or each race, a driver has a different car, so every driver gets the chance to drive in the top cars etc. This will prove the best driver and also the best car. If the top drivers are good, they should be able to score points with the less performing cars.” Ben Wallcroft

“Every driver has to drive each of the other team cars at least once. The drivers’ championship and team championship are separate.” Joseph Murphy
No rules and no limits?

“I think it’s time to throw the rule book in the bin and have one simple rule - go as fast as you can as safely as you can.” Dafydd Eveleigh

“Let the engineers go nuts. Only rules that cars have four wheels, one driver and a set size engine. Anything else goes!” Shaun Hughes

“Unlimited fuel so cars can go flat-out for the entire race would be my main change. Far too much fuel saving & tyre management in my opinion.” Ryan Blythe

“Take away all the restrictions and let the teams make the cars as fast as possible. I’d watch it if it had more overtaking! It’s pretty dull in its current format.” Ben J D Reynolds
BBC’s chief F1 writer Andrew Benson

“Bring back the ‘old’ qualifying format of 12 laps. It was a skill for drivers/teams to navigate traffic and time the runs.” Terry Davoren

“Cars from 2004 and 2005 were the best. Bodywork like those as well as screaming engine power will boost TV audiences.” Philip Aston

Drivers have been critical that the cars are too slow - in some races they are up to 10 seconds slower than in 2004.

The FIA said this would be addressed for 2017 by “aerodynamic rules evolution, wider tyres and a reduction in car weight”.

Read more on the plan for refuelling to return
Back to the past?

“Maybe we need to make the tyres wider to give more mechanical grip. We need to be a little bit quicker, through the years the cars are getting slower and slower, maybe we need to make the cars a bit quicker and maybe make them look nicer, they looked amazing with the aerodynamic pieces in 06 and 07, after 2004 the car just got slower year on year.” Williams driver Felipe Massa

“Refuelling can be unsafe but I love the racing we had with refuelling, you can make the racing more fun it will bring something different to the sport.” McLaren’s Jenson Button

“No-one’s going to say they don’t want to go faster, I don’t think we’re fast enough, and we’re well within the limits, go quicker that would be awesome, bit more noise might put us back up to more heroic status as drivers.” Red Bull’s Daniel Ricciardo

I would like to see refueling again. Pit stops, pit strategy are already part of F1, but only as far as tyres go. I’d also like to add fuel strategy to the mix.

Unlimited!

I remember, right before they destroyed Indy and CART, the Mercedes entries were doing 240 in The Brickyard’s backstretch.

Of course I also remember an Indy car breaking in two, sliding to a stop with the driver’s legs dangling out.

I enjoyed the race, thanks for the heads up. Also trying to watch Bolton on FNC, missed the controversy with Hamilton.

What did his team frig up?
