This article by the BBC's Gary Anderson is worth reading --- interesting info near the end of the text.

Great little article. In leymans speak too so very easy to understand.

I like his writing style.

Gary Anderson is my favourite thing about F1 on the telly.

My second favourite are the racing driver excuses and general stroppy behaviour when things go wrong.

Whilst I agree with what he says I still believe the cars should be running at 100% of there ability.

Even the teams that have managed to design their car to be better on tyre wear and not wanting a change are still not running flat out.

I would prefer to see the cars and drivers true ability, of course both of these include tyre wear but not to the extent that it is now.

I believe there is a problem with the way F1 is thought of, after all it is an endurance race by nature but that has changed with the speed of the cars it is a half way house type race now, neither a sprint or an endurance race.

I would prefer to see a huge change and split the race in 2 and have a support race or 2 in the middle, this would give viewers a better chance to see the up and coming drivers and give those drivers a bigger platform to show their talent.

2 races with tyres that last the race so no pit stops unless required, reverse grid in second race.
