Okay folks, it is the off season time for useless debates.

If you could change one thing about F1 (and just one thing you anoraks) what would it be and why?

I think the success of features based on calculated track position - like DRS and the Virtual Safety Car - proves that the time has come for Mario Kart style power-up cubes. Project them onto AR displays in the drivers’ helmets, and show them on the TV feeds.

Mushroom allows the driver to cut corners and speed over track limits.
Squid ink appears in the field of view of all other drivers’ visors.
Verstappen gets blue-shelled and all his power cuts out until he’s stationary!
etc.

Call me crazy, but I think in 10 years time you’ll be looking back on this post as prescient.
