MS in a Minardi???? WTF?
Max M. has a new plan to make F1 more interesting next year and these are some of his crazy-ass ideas:
The FIA have published a nine-point plan that it hopes will provide a blueprint to make F1 more exciting.
The plan involves a number of ideas which are highly unlikely to come to fruition, but the boldness of the governing body's thinking is impressive.
One of the suggestions is that the drivers rotate the teams they drive for during the season. This would introduce the prospect of Michael Schumacher driving for Minardi – unlikely to down well with Ferrari and the German’s multi-million pound sponsors.
The list is published in full in today’s Autosport magazine. The nine points are:
1 Driver swapping drivers race every car on the grid during the course of a season.
2 Aggregated qualifying four half-hour sessions on Fridays and Saturdays at grands prix.
3 Bespoke tyres rubber suppliers can produce different tyres for each of their teams
4 Success ballast a penalty of 1kg in ballast weight per point scored during 2003.
5 Testing restrictions - limit testing during the 2003 season to just 12 days per car.
6 Aerodynamic freeze from 2003 only two sets of bodywork can be homologated at the start of the season.
7 Long-life engines one engine per weekend in 2003, one engine per four races in 2004, and one engine per eight in 2005.
8 Long-life gearbox gearbox assemblies to have required life for a number of races.
9 Standardised parts all teams would have to use standardised electronics, ECUs, brakes and fixed ballast.
The team bosses will informally discuss the ideas with Bernie Ecclestone and Max Mosley at this weekend’s Japanese Grand Prix.
So, Alonso cld end up in a Ferrari and MS cld end up in a Minardi. Mark my words, it WILL NEVER FAWKIN' HAPPEN!! 1kg per point? That wld be over 160 kg's added to Schumacher's car-incredible.
Just thought you guys might enjoy this and all the speculation that arises from putting some of the plans into action.
