Grid locked or not?

A quote from Jenson Button saying "...tomorrow’s grid will still be the same distance from first to second place." got me thinking. Should the grid slots be the same distance apart, like they are now, or should they change in relation to qualifying performance? ie. If one driver was only 0.005 seconds away from the driver in front then they start much nearer them than if they had qualified 0.500 seconds away from them.

 

No.

Waste of paint to re-do all the grid markings.

There is a recession on you know.

 

24th place could be on the back straight!

 

Those who don't set a time will have to start from their slot at the previous race

I think the current set up is very good, they could maybe put a gap between the top 10 and the rest to make up for the loss in tyres (and 11th-13th being better than 8th-10th some times)

 

No because it doesn't really warm to me and I think the way it is now is fine.

 

It would be a bit dangerous starting with your nose stuck up another cars exhaust!

 

could release them on foot(at the back straight) in Q3 time proportional gaps and have them run to the car

 

Le Mans Style! That'd be pretty legendary.

 

who's gonna be the geezer doing up the six point harnesses?

 

Maybe instead of grid girls, they could get "harness girls". I don't think the drivers would mind that!

 

What a brilliant idea.....

 

And a harness boy for Sutil.
