"I think it would make sense, because we have all the material with us anyway," said Theissen, proposing that Fridays became all-day free test sessions.
But while F1 fans hungry for more action at Grand Prix weekends would be unlikely to complain, Theissen admits his proposal would also "have consequences" for support events like GP2.
"In my opinion 20 races is the limit -- provided the testing is reduced considerably," he said.
As always, MT shows some good thinking.
