Have you ever watched grands prix sans pit stops? I did for over ten years and it is far better.

The onus is placed on the driver to make the tyres work for the entire distance and racing becomes between drivers not indirectly the fumblings of mechanics.

Problem is NOW they can make tyres which run the distance with ease.

This means if the tyres run the distance and they can't overtake due to aero then basically the race positions are defined on Saturday save for a couple retirements.

We're close enough to that at the moment I reckon!

I would bring back refueling myself (but not starting on quali fuel load), anything to switch things around a little.
