QuickSilver should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid

What we need is a revised 1997 set of regulations.
Monster,

I hear ya brother. Trouble is, if you consider how far the technology has moved since 1997, if you put slicks back on F1 cars you'd create death-machines ... plain and simple. Even with thinner grooved tyres the cars regularly break track records.

So while look fondly back to the days when Sir Stirling would corner in 4 wheel drift, I also appreciate that F1 is about beating your competition to the finish. All teams try to gain that edge. Let 'em.

IMHO the regs aren't all that bad in their current state. Take launch control, if the technology exists why not use it? All the cars are at the same advantage/disadvantage so at least it's fair.

My (and others) big beef is the lack of competitive racing, and without being too melodramatic, solving that little issue will improve F1.

'Nuff said.
