Wine, not liquor. Here is the best looking McLaren for humoring me. Boozed up ranting after the jump.
All of the issues people are complaining about with this season of F1 can be fixed with three changes.
First, and easiest, is abolishing blue flags. If the backmarkers are going to be mobile chicanes, let them be mobile chicanes. That way, the leader's clear air advantage is diminished, but not completely eliminated. Not a new idea, but one that should be taken more seriously.
Second, the fuel rules. Prior to Q1, the teams should be required to put exactly 125 kg of fuel in the tanks while an fia official is watching. The fia official would then put a seal over the fuel cap which, if broken, results in DQ. The cars then have that much fuel for quali and the race. It is then up to the teams how they use it. Want to risk your engine and run enough fuel through it in quali to put out 1000 hp? Go for it if you think you can manage to finish the race. Want to be conservative in quali so you can run a higher average output in the race? Sure, whatever floats your boat. If fuel efficiency is meant to be strategic, let teams use broader strategies.
Third, a seemingly easy fix for the sound, at least for the tv audience. Bernie just has to turn the output volume up on the tv feed. I think he is keeping the tv footage quiet on purpose, out of spite, because his puppet masters don't like the formula. You would think that this would be easy, but getting Bernie to do something he doesn't want to do requires multiple high court cases.

It was a surprisingly decent, slightly dry bottle of low end vouvray that was on sale at the grocery store. It was gone by the time I finished writing. I might crack open another.

Just watched Bahrain last night. I'm not sure there's so much that needs fixing.
