huge f1 fan, but i must admit i have been losing interest.
the current shcumacher dominance is one thing (boring) but more than that the big team dominance is killing the sport.
Ferrari + 1 (sometimes McLaren, sometimes Williams, soon maybe Renault and'or Toyota) is pretty uninspiring.
I hate to say it, because I'm against it with every fiber for all other sports, but I think some sort of profit sharing scheme must be considered.
The smaller teams must have more to work with, and a few more of them wouldn't be bad either, a Lotus return as mentioned above would be great, but who owns the brand now, Ford, right? Maybe forcing all the constructers to run a "B" team would make things more interesting. Sauber is certainly a competetive mid-range outfit as basically Ferrari's "b" team.
I dont know, I agree with removing some of the technology from the cars (though not at the expense of safety), but I dont think that's all there is to it. Larger fields, and more cars in the race with a legitimate chance of winning has got to be it.
Though I must make clear I am not proposing as was alluded to above as open wheel NASCAR. That would permanently tune me out. Ugh. NASCAR. I'd sooner watch wrestling.
