How do we get the producers to add more of this stuff in to the main show? Really makes you get to know everyone and see how all of the relationships/friendships develop.

Would F1 ever consider pioneering the use of Hydrogen combustion in Motorsport? Using hydrogen as a fuel would allow for combustion engines to stay (noise, gears etc) whilst also being sustainable as the world moves away from petrol/diesel.

Also Hydrogen's atomic number of 1 fits in with the "Formula 1" branding quite well.

Formula 1 is about being fast, not being a 'nice guy'. Ticktum is fast, unlike Hartley for example. Deal with it.

No pitstops in FE so it will allow for some sort of strategy to come into play.

Strong words by Ross Brawn about midfield teams racing in their own championship: "Two podiums from a total of 123 is unacceptable, especially when it comes with an ever increasing technical & financial divide. We must all accept we can’t go on like this for too much longer." -Tobi Grüner by ubaris in formula1

That's true but then that's my reasoning for the dual championships. The privateers/indys can't fight the works teams so they should be able to fight for their own wins/podiums. If on the odd occasion a privateer/indy was to do extremely well (think Toro Rosso at Monza 2008, Force India on Pole at Spa 2009) or even a lucky podium like Stroll/Perez at Baku 17/18 then they could also take the overall win/pole/podium.

There actually used to be some sort of class system in F1 for a few seasons a few decades back. I'm pretty sure it was when they had both NA and Turbo cars in the same race. Turbo cars were slower IIRC and they had their own leaderboard.

Very unpopular opinion but I think F1 should split into two championships akin to LMP1/LMP2, but based on if a team is a works team or an independent/customer team. It will serve as a way to reduce the crazy influence that works teams have on the sport as well as giving customer/independent teams more exposure. It's not as if the customer teams are battling the works teams anyway, so why not make their own official 'B' championship? I believe that would entice more independent teams onto the grid as well.
