Can I be considered as a young fan?If so,here's my opinion:No.I actually think that the races can last longer.The time of the races doesn't really matter for me,unless it is too early or too late,my sleep is important for me.But the day of it matters,instead of races in July why not make them in August.July is a busier holiday month!

Yes longer races please. These youngsters wıll just have to cultıvate some stayıng power

ıııı??This is a Turkish letter

Can I be considered as a young fan?

Yes, that's what I was thinking! What age does one have to be in order to be considered a "young fan"?

[Jabberwocky]

All I heard was Monty saying "Our cars chew tyres, and short races would help us out"

Ya,that was in my mind too.oes he mean 5-12 year olds?Or he considers 20 year olds too?He could be more clear.

I suppose who when they play F1 games do 100% distances?

Was always a challenge!

A couple of things he mentioned are actually pretty reasonable.

About the race being shorter, he doesn't mean the "event" being shorter... i understood he means having more than just a race on sunday, like A1GP or some sorts. So in the end it would still be like 2hrs worth of F1. But I don't know about this. Having more than one race would probably confuse the ADD kids even more. I dont think F1 needs to worry about this at the moment. If people are interested in the races, they will watch.

I think the real challenge of F1 is getting it to the States and China. Everyone knows these are the 2 markets. There's too much focus on Europe, when you have multiple x's the population in USA and China.

The fact that USA and China have not become interested is nothing but a failure of F1 marketting. Not a "handicap" in the people of these countries. Oh the americans are not sophisticated enough to watch F1... BS. They would watch if F1 made itself interesting to them. Same with the chinese.

More boobs and bikinis. That'll fix things. Gotta send this petition to Bernie.

On the new calendar, there are 2 races in the US and only 7 out of 20 GPs are in Europe, the lowest number since 1950 with 6 out of 7 races being European then

yeah, but i'm talking about the "focus". Like... how they make Singapore and Australia at a time to suit Eruopean audiences... but they do nothing to please chinese or american audiences. I know Snooki is probably booked, but there's gotta be something they can do to get them gringos to like F1.

I suppose who when they play F1 games do 100% distances?

lol. I can't; not if i go for full championship season. I do half distances mostly. And once in a while do the full thing........

[LewEngBridewell]

A1 RING!

[bud]

how is 1.5 hours too long? how long are soccer games again?? God this guy talks so much crap...

[Hammer278]

During high school I always did 90% in WDC challenges. And yeah I finished all of them too, except in 2-3 when I crash/get crashed out of course. No ADD here. Reg F1 at least.

I can't imagine the FIA coming up with a simple format for multiple race sessions, making it more difficult to follow what's going on and turning off potential fans.

I agree with some of the things he said about testing but definitely not about shorter races.

[What's Burning?]

How about not charging more than a week's salary for most people on the planet to come see a GP? I bet that would attract a lot of fans to the sport. But I didn't see that mentioned in the suggestions.

Take the whole sport back to the mid-90's and that'll get the punters in.
