11 Hilarious Suggestions You Had For Improving Formula 1

1. F1 is missing something

The S80 Rallyist

“Bring back the excitement. #BringBackCrashtor”

2. A slightly violent idea…

Samniss Arandeen

“The public execution of every environmentalist currently ruining F1 would be my minor tweak. Just line them up, gun them all down, and leave a mass grave of slaughtered eco-nuts to rot just inside Monaco’s Casino Square.”

3. Yes please!

Mr.PurpleV12

“Moar cylinders!”

4. Desperate to “improve the show”

Constandinos Zantis

“Discard all the horse poop elimination-style qualifying and whatever other gimmicks they come up with in desperation”

5. The picture makes the suggestion

Ålex Vargas Sz

“Or just one thing…V12.”

6. Bernie will probably live forever…

Joe_Car_Guy

“Get rid of Ecclestone, really not feeling the Bern.”

7. Mild rant incoming

OD_Emperor

“The regulations are a little ridiculous. Tyre limits, fuel consumption limits, aren’t there a certain number of engine limits? Like an engine has to last a few races? Or there are only X number of engine allotted per year?
“Come on nobody cares about that stuff. Engines have to last a race and that’s it, tyre limits are gone, fuel consumption put at max so they can do whatever they’d like. Want an anti-lag system? Go right ahead.
“Make it fun! Make it exciting! I’ll bet you anything the average Formula 1 viewer doesn’t have a chart at home going anorak voice “oooooh this driver only went through 4.768 sets of tyres this race when the average was 4.798!” Nobody cares and numbers like that aren’t exciting.
“What is exciting is ever faster lap times and noise levels. There’s hardly any innovation in the sport anymore compared to the 70s or 80s.”

8. Not sure if serious or..?

Chris Burn

“Rotary Engines
“Ground effect
“Fan cars
“Adaptive suspension
“Closed cockpits
“Passenger seats (rides given during qualifying to social media competition winners).
“Increase the number of gearboxes per season, and make them 10 speed.”

9. Everyone would watch that, surely?

urbnpotato156

“What if they made everyone drive a Reliant Robin?”

10. Yes please!

PetrolDuck

“You know what it needs? Morgan Freeman as a race navigator.”

11. Wasn’t expecting that comment!

BMWfan

“Allow machine guns mounted on the cars so they can shoot at each other. That would make everything more exciting.”

is the best idea

I’ve been mentioned lol.

I think that they should give the cars massive amounts of camber

I think F1 is supposed to be the pinnacle of automotive technology. The current rules spoil the engineers’ creativity, creating too many restrictions! Why on earth should all engines be 1.5l V6s? Why not do it like WEC, where you have all sorts of engines and hybrid systems?

A couple of reasons. 1. If the regulations were removed like you suggest, the bigger, higher budget teams would leave the rest of the pack behind. Look at WEC, it’s a 2 horse race at best. 2. F1 has tons of innovation. Do you know how hard it is to get 1000bhp out of a 1.6 litre engine? F1 is saving sports cars for the future. Reality check, all the howling V8s and manual gearboxes are on their way out. In the future, when performance cars still exist and continue improving, you can thank F1 for pioneering the technology that goes into them.
