I would like to see a high def dedicated F1 channel, all interviews, all promo material, all footage, all day... Features, support races, documentries and more.

Surround sound would be lovely as well...

[darwin dali]

I know it's the season for big wishes demure, but THAT big?

[deMuRe]

It would allow me to fulfill my life long dream of F1 gimpdom...

[Osmella DJ]

Lotus, slicks, Old Hockenheim (all good old tracks), drivers that aren't arrogant pricks

[racechick]

Yes! Sounds Good. The old Nordscheif (sorry about spelling )would be dangerous but amazing to see who can handle it, I have my suspicions who could

[Ferrari man 009]

What i would like to see back in F1 :

1. Slick tires.

2. BBC F1 Coverage ( so no ads during race ).

3. Maybe sky or Setanta to do an f1 channel . i now sky did for a bit in 2002.

4. The return of good old tracks like zandvoort, adelaide, san marino , south africa , mexico etc.

5.More Drivers and teams allowed . I think there should be 12 teams and 3 drivers per team . qualifying eliminates 10 drivers so you race with 26. i know there is enough teams wanting to enter - 22 teams applied for 2008.

thanks for reading this

cheers

What would you love to see the most return to F1? And what would you love to get rid of the most?

I'd bring back;

- Slicks (probable in 2009)
- Wider cars (probable in 2009)
- Turbochargers
- 3.5 or 3 Litre V12's and V10's (keep V8's as well)
- Cosworth
- Cosworth's DFV engine
- Drivers being allowed to wave their country's flag when they win a'la Senna many times and Damon Hill, Silverstone 1994
- Clutch and gearstick (keep Semi-Automatic transmissions as well)
- More teams and 26 car grids with pre-qualifying to eliminate the slowest cars from F1 fields that are more than 30 cars
- Ingenuity from car designers encouraging radical concepts like those from Colin Chapman, Gordon Murray, Ken Tyrrell and Harvey Postlethwaite etc.
- Flamboyant drivers (I hope Freddie Hunt's just like his father was)
- Murray Walker and James Hunt in the commentary box
- Drivers who are more like moving chicanes
- Legendary names like Lotus, Brabham and Tyrrell
- W12 engines (just to see someone try and revive Life, and watch it fail again )
- Tobacco sponsorship
- Mansell's Red 5 (Leo and Greg will probably bring it back)
- Old circuits like Estoril, Paul Ricard, Brands Hatch, Hermanos Rodriguez, old Hockenheim
- Drivers having water pistol fights in press conferences (Hakkinen and Irvine at Montreal 1999)
- Alex Wurz telling Nick Heidfeld to shave his beard
- Spectators being allowed into the pitlane (my dad's got tonnes of pictures from the pitlane at Brands Hatch 1982 and Silverstone 1988)
- The old FIA intro from the 80's - 1999 that plays at the 5 minute signal (current one's alright, but this one's legendary)
- Dangerously fast corners like old Tamburello, but with larger run-off areas and tyre barriers
- The old car numbering system (Ferrari number 27 etc)
- Larger french involvement (more French drivers and the French government backed Ligier team)
- Some races having crap picture quality (like Mexico used to, but why would I want to do that...?)
- Ferrari's blood red livery

What I'd get rid of;

- Mad Max
- Grooved tyres
- Emphasis on aerodynamic grip (especially all those annoying fins, flaps etc)
- Toyota's boring livery
- Ad breaks during ITV's coverage
- James Allen
- The 10 year engine development freeze
- Some of the OTT costs
- Engine restrictions
- Politics (put them in Brundle's Barrell)
- Boring tracks like Catalunya (especially Catalunya)
- Drivers who act like spoilt children and kick a fuss when they get a scratch on their cars

What would you like to bring back/get rid of?

I agree with just about all of that, sadly there is no way a lot of it will happen.

I agree also and sorry to say this but to whoever did the ayrton senna photo who put mclaren world championship winners 2007 were wrong

OFcourse i remember ever heard of sarcasm

You cannot add very well, a Ferrari fan traight i see!

Hamilton - 109 Alonso - 109 = McLaren - 218
Raikkonen - 110 Massa - 94 = Ferrari - 204

[Ferrari man 009]

No because they would have got the hungary constructors points taken away .


so 218 - 15(hamilton was 1st , alonso was 4th) = 203



cheers

[kezza7]

i would bring back.....
1)littl teams like minardi and simtek and AGS and larousse and jordan you get my drift
2)amazing tracks like brands, estoril, the nordshleife, zandvoort etc.
3)herman tilke to be killed
4)drivers with personality, not manufactured like LH is but with personality, like hunt or mansell

Or Frentzen, never taking himself too seriously and always having a joke. Not too bad behind the wheel either. We need more HHF's in today's corporate image of F1. Sponsor's would never go for it, yet it's nice to have dreams...
