Kvyat Suggests Removing F1 Practice: Do You Agree?

[Thang Nguyen]

Of course I agree. XD In order to make races interesting.






Actually not really much, I just would like that teams use only 1 tyre compound in the practice sessions. ))

 

[Diogo Goetz Brand]

Instead of removing practice from F1, why not just remove Kvyat?

 

[Luke Maney]

Nope bad idea, practice is very important and necessary! If you want to spice up F1, get rid of the hybrids and go back to v10, v12 and v8s

 

[Louis Lockshine]

No, but I do think something should be done to improve practice... maybe a 1pt for fastest each session?

No, there is no reason for that. That's just something to make the sport gimmicky, and it is just unnecessary.

 

[qproy]

I agree. No practice, and no qualifying either. They all show up on Sunday and the grid positions are inherited from the last race. 2 warm up laps and off you go lads! Love it.

 

[Chris]

Absolutely not!
The fans are paying customers, and knowing F1 and it's broadcasting partners, we will likely still be charged the same amount to go to races and watch them on tv despite receiving less on track action.

If they want to remove Friday practice, either reduce tickets prices and subscription service prices by 33%, or have an additional race on Saturday afternoon after qualification.

Eitherway, this whole thing is stupid. The current format works and as is becoming disturbingly common, people are suggesting "fixes" for things that aren't broken, rather than looking for solutions to the real problems in F1 (prize money distribution, dirty air, DRS, cost control, etc.)

And what? Replace him with an armchair 'racer' like his critics (here)!
I'd say reduce 'practice to a single Saturday session and introduce more proper test sessions through the season.

 

[Enerjex]

I would have thought Kvyat would want to enjoy as many laps as possible in F1 while he still can

An F1 driver that is capable of taking two cars out in a single corner definitely could do with some practice. What would be the benefit of removing it?

How did torpedo boy get back into f1

 

[OZ67]

Sorry Daniil Kvyat but Practice isn't just for you and the Teams , its actually for the Paying fans to enjoy, with very little viewing of the F1's as it is , Taking away practice is a bad suggestion in my view, However bringing back the Thursday practice will be a good move. Save your money through vehicle and or team sacrifice and not the Fans viewing time.

"Every driver is different. Someone needs maybe five hours. But not me."
Coming from a guy breaks cars on the wall almost every weekend ... that's a joke!

 

[BazzaLB]

What about the top 3 drivers in the championship do not get to practice. Everyone can go for broke.

 

[InsaneOzzie]

I'd rather see them give 2 more 90min free practice sessions to the lower paced teams on Thursdays, and keep the faster teams sessions as is. This could be based off of a set lap-time, similar to the cut off lap-time, and designated by race control. To obtain a time, a compulsory 30min session with only one car from each team (determined by race control) would be run on Thursday morning, the practice cut-off lap-time would be decided from that session.
Teams below that lap-time are granted the 2 extra sessions, this would give them a greater chance to develop & test new parts and refine setups and race strategies and hopefully see more competitive lap-times and ideally.....more exciting races.

 

[liby88]

maybe an one hour race on friday with half points

 

[Liquid_Squid]

I think they should make it compulsory to run the reserve driver in practice - it is crazy that they could be called up to race, but may have little or no track knowledge. It would give third drivers more exposure and experience, plus it would limit track time for the race drivers, thus putting them under more pressure to perform.

 

[Lukasz Milewski]

Why on earth any race driver want to spend less time behind the wheel?!

 

[Stalker22]

better remove drs and the "head bar" protection and all other new shits we want action

 

[MoerasGrizzly]

I mean if he doesn't want to drive the car on fridays I can help out?
