What a fascinating question. Would a two year old Mercedes driven by the latest up and coming hotshoe still be quicker than a state of the art Alpine or Alfa Romeo driven by some old tugger filling up his pension?

We need more teams on the grid to give young drivers the chance. They will have to pay for their drive anyway (it's always been like that, e.g. Niki Lauda), maybe if we could make it slightly less expensive some underfunded stars could come through rather than just the super-rich.

We must keep the Constructors' Championship. Motor racing has always been about the cars, it's in the very name of the sport. The problem is it's been turned into "F1" for the top layer with a focus on people. Go back to the 30s and the likes of Carracciola, Rosemeyer and Seaman may have been the high-profile names paid a king's ransom to drive the brutes, but it was always Mercedes or Auto Union that was seen as the winner rather than the driver.
