    Look, I want to watch a race, on the track: face-to-face driver contests in driving and tactical skill

    I do NOT want to watch a strategic "game of chess" with UTTERLY ABSURD tire changes after only 8-to-10 laps.


    Verstappen has done two tire changes in 30 laps, so I propose the FIA mandates, FOUR separate F1 races of 15 laps each, with no pit adjustments other than fresh tires for each race.
    The whole race would take perhaps thirty minutes longer, and we'd get much more bang for our buck.

    Or, the FIA could simply define a race as each driver taking a solo one lap at a steady 60mph, followed by the critical timed tire-change, to decide the winner.
