yugin96 Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 I don't see anything wrong with cutting out one Friday practice session tbh. Might stop teams from sitting out FP3 if anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
couger1981 Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 And the money the smaller teams save from testing a car can go towards research. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VetteIfan Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Yeah, most teams sit out the first half hour of FP1 anyway so it'll be good to tune in knowing you're hopefully going to get running straight away. The only negative I can think of is I can see circuits wanting to keep ticket prices the same despite there being less action, so fans at the tracks will get less for their money.

Moderator MBKF1 Posted June 7, 2014 Moderator Share Posted June 7, 2014 I would personally keep FP1 but reduce FP2 to 60 minutes. I don't like the idea of cutting it down to one session at all. Martin Brundle said about it yesterday on TV and I can't remember exactly what he said but I agreed with what he had to say. Something about F1 making money from the race promoters, which comes from fans buying tickets, and the TV companies. So having a session less would mean less TV time, which is worse for sponsors because obviously they want as much publicity as possible, and the fans see less too!

Moderator f1since08 Posted June 7, 2014 Author Moderator Share Posted June 7, 2014 I think it was Force India that said it would actually cost the teams more money as they wouldn't be able to gain more sponsor money from running their third drivers.

Tommig1995 Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Practice isn't.Plus teams do less running -> Less precise setup -> Slower lap times -> More boring racing Or that the bigger teams get more simulator work that the smaller ones can't match and the big teams pull further ahead.

RevolvingPrawn Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Happy to hear this! It's been a bit worrying the last couple of months getting practically no news. I'm not sure about you guys, but it lead me to believe that he was going to be in the coma for even longer still. Lets just hope his rehabilitation goes smoothly and we get to see him hanging out in the F1 paddock again as soon as he can :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So presumably he'd come out of the coma a little while back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
