Ten things to make Formula One better
Ten things to make Formula One better
1 Large piles of cardboard boxes to be left at random points on the circuit like in Starsky and Hutch
2 Two men carrying a large sheet of glass or a piano to cross the track at regular intervals during the race
3 Races to start with the drivers leaping into their cars from an outside fire escape
4 All circuits to feature a level crossing and a thundering Amtrak-style goods train
5 Vampires. Hugely fashionable these days, F1 would clearly benefit from the odd pale-faced bloodsucker (What d'you mean, 'Like Bernie Ecclestone'?)
6 All circuits to feature at least one busy intersection which the drivers must cross while the light is on red
7 All circuits to feature at least one unfinished fly-over and/or bridge
8 Direction of race to be altered at least twice at random intervals leading to handbrake turns, dead stops, collisions with pursuing police vehicles
9 Zombies ? well known to improve any game
10 F1 cars to be followed by a gradually increasing number of police vehicles and a helicopter from which a Texan state trooper in mirrored shades shouts through a megaphone

I reckon F1 needs a plash of 'Australianism'
1. Random 40kph speed zones at 5 min intervals.
2. Roads as good as sydney, but not the outskirts, that's to lavish
3. EPA giving on the spot fines at random to the odd driver for having their exhaust levels exceed the national dB limit.
4. New 'safety cams' in rendom spots, with the last speed limit sign you saw at the begining of the track
5. Some red light cameras to go along with #4.
6. Occasional RBT, with 1 or 2 drivers needing to be pulled from the race when for some reason, the breatliser stops working and they need to give blood.
7. A few sunday drivers and semis taking up ALL lanes so back up the race occasionally and bring everyone to level playing grounds.
8. More sheelas.......... need I say more.
9. Entry to get in: (You must be this intelligent tests)
10. Screw the champagne give that winner a 'New'.
struggled on the last few

13. Can only be played at the most inconvient time eg 1 oclock in the morning, when you start work at 6am and have just finished 24hr shift
CHRISTIANITY: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...

14. old man with cane struggling to cross a pedestrian crossing... this must be strategically placed after the tightest corner of the track.
15. official will set a crate of cats, dogs, rabbits and 1 horse on fire. this box will be placed next to the track for safety reasons. as the box sets ablaze, door hatch will be opened.
note: crate faces the main straight

was fkn boring thoughBit dissapointed with with Mclaren thought they would be more competitive but also thought Schu was about where i expected him
Mclaren will hit a hurdle in australia too, testing ban and the FIA have banned their diffuser, so theyll need to build a new one for melbourne thats un(road) tested
clever of them though

they deemed the diffuser legal for bahrain but were told to change it in time for australia otherwise it would be deemed illegal.
F1 cars dont have onboard starters, they need someone to shove a rod up its arse and crank the motor, so basically what they did is instead of having a round hole (or Anus)in the diffuser to stick the starter (or penis) in, they moulded it to shape the aerodynamics from under the car thereby increasing downforce.
pretty clever acctually... but thus, anything clever in f1 is deemed illegal
