How to fix Formula One racing

I for one have found that Grand Prix racing has got way boring over the years.

Guys like Surtees and Clark and Stewart were more interesting people. Your top guys now seem to be more interested in being global A-list celebrities.

We've also seen how technology has overtaken everything under the sun, to the point where "artificial intelligence" will soon be driving you home after a eight hour shift at the local pub, like if you were ever out at a bar to see that last game with Kahwi in a Raptors uniform.

If AI can drive you home from the pub, then why can't it drive a racecar around a track? That would eliminate the human variable from whatever calculations determine the constructor's cup. Then we'd find out who really has the best racecar.

But that would be boring too.

After all, a racecar isn't going to sign a book deal, be interviewed on late-night TV, or anything like that. F1 would slip off the pop-culture radar pretty quick.

So we gotta keep the drivers in the game. How about we have a parallel F1 where every driver gets an identical rig, be it Ferrari or Mercedes or whatever, and then they go head to head on every F1 circuit.


That way we'd find out just how good those drivers actually are.
