Here's and idea which you may or may not like, came to me listening to the sounds of QPR being given the Championship Trophy on R5. How about an F1 Junior series? This is my thinking:
- The new teams in F1 still aren't really up to speed despite this being season 2
- The current grid of F1 Senior teams is reduced to 10
- 10 new teams are invited to take part in an F1 Junior series run to exactly the same regulations as the Senior series.
- Qualifying and the race take place in the morning of the Grand Prix (perhaps a slightly shorter race)
- At the end of the season the bottom two teams in the Senior series are relegated to the Junior series and the top two Junior teams promoted.
- A great way for teams to learn about running in F1 without being mobile chicanes for the really fast boys
- A wonderful proving ground for new drivers and engineers to see how they cope with true F1 speeds
Thoughts? Don't mind if you think I'm completely mad
