Podium Finisher
Over the past couple of weeks there has been lots of debate about the rules for 2010.
So lets say you were the Head of the FIA and you had complete control of the 2010 regulations. What changes would you bring?
Changes to the Race, techincal Regs, points systems??? What do you want see in F1 that you believe it would be made better.
If It were me, Id have a field day
Technical Regulations
Teams/Ownership
Championships
Race Weekend
Penalties
Cant you tell Ive put a little thought into this eh?

Technical Regulations
- I would make all teams use control brakes, gearboxes, and fuel, and Then hopefully that would allow the Techincal Regulations to be opened up a bit for some new innovations and save costs
- Restrict The Front Wing and rear Wings to use only two 'planes' and also ban the mini wings that have appeared on the front wing
- The Driver must only be in control of, the accellorator, brakes, gears, steering, and clutch wilst driving. Therfore removing 'aids' like adjusting brake balance, Fuel mixes, how much Rev's are adjusted, KERS and that silly ajustable front wing.
- The Driver of the car must start his own car, Hopefully would reduce the cost of having expensive computer equipment to start an F1 car.
Teams/Ownership
- There will be a maximum of 30 cars in a race with an unlimted amount able to attempt qualifying
- Allow customer Cars(ala Moto GP), By doing this, I would hope that it would encourage more teams into F1 buy not having to find funding for delvoping and making a car, such as facilites, staff equipment
- Due to customer cars, a person cannot have own or have shares in another team, Likewise staff, drivers must only have contracts with one team, This excludes staff from engine providers and tyre manufactors
- Allow 1 car Teams, This would also be to reduce costs by not having to use two cars per weekend. Max of 2 per team cars atill apply.
- Allow 'wildcard' entries, This is to help with the marketing of F1 and teams invovled by for example having an AGR entry for Mario Andretti at USA, These Drivers/teams would only be allowed to participate in 3 races per year and not allowed to enter any Manufactors or Teams championship.
Championships
- Becuse of the new customer car rules there would be 3 championchips, Drivers, Teams and Manufactors. Teams would be for all teams with a 2 car entry whilst, Manufactors would be the points scored from just Cars involved (ala WTCC,BTCC)
Race Weekend
- Points Scoring would be extended for the top 10 and be as follows: 20,15,12,10,8,6,4,3,2,1.
- An extra point would be given for Pole postion and Fastest lap.
- Qualifying would consist of a Superpole and would have three phases:
- Phases 1: saturday pratice, would be doubled up as quali 1 and extened to 2 hours, Drivers will have unlimited laps
- Phase 2: 15 minutes before 'Superpole'/Quali 2, All drivers will be called into a meeting, where based upon postion in Quali 1 they can choose in which slot to start the superpole session, This would be viewed on TV. for example:
if the top 3 were Alonso, Hamilton, Massa. Alonso would pick which car out he would be, then Hamilton and so on
This would give the fastest drivers more flexabilty in changeable Superpole sessions.
-Phase 3: would be the Superpole session.
Penalties
- Instead of a 10place grid drop for an unsheduled gearbox change, The Team would be given a 3 point dedctuion in the Teams Champ.
- Instead of a 10place grid drop for the use of a 9th engine the team would get a 10 point deduction in the Teams champ and a 3 point deduction for any more engines used thereafter.
