I find Formula 1 boring. I think it is overreglemented. All cars are basically the same, and at the same time there are huge differences between the cars, if that makes sense. Only a few teams have a chance of winning. But the time differences are often fractions of a second. And the teams are nowadays mostly unlikable.
What I'd like to see is a race with more variation, and surprises. The only rules should be something like:
- The car must cost less than, say, $1 million in material
- The plans must be opened to competitors after some time
- You have to take care of the drivers' safety
And then just get from A to B or do the laps by any means necessary. The race courses would change regularly, so you would have to build new cars. One year they would be very curvy, next year they are short and straight so you need better acceleration, another year there are short stretches of rallye, and so on. I think that would lead to some very interesting cars. And it would shift the focus away from the shaving milliseconds aspect that I find so boring with modern sports, back to the exploratory feeling I imagine motorsports used to have.
