Thinking about testing it would make more sense to have a sliding scale restriction on testing based on your previous WCC position. The champions get the mandatory test allowance, the runners up get plus 3 days, 3rd place gets plus 6 days etc...etc.. all the way down to last place.

Hate all these suggestions for equivalence regulations. The regulations should be the same for every team, anything else would be unsporting.

Sadly the finances in the sport have to be considered because that's the biggest factor that's skewing the grid. You could give a team all the track time in the world but if they don't have the finances to turn that data in to upgrades it's wasted. To makes any real change there has to be a more balanced distribution of income in the sport. It's just not going to improve until that happens... but it's not going to in the foreseeable future.

Blimey....being so pessimistic about the sport really doesn't feel great.

The money is there it's just not being distributed in a sport benefitting manner, it would not take much to sort it out, a few million quid provided for the teams, instead of Ecclestones pot of gold, he recently paid off the German legal several million to avoid conviction, how does that work !!!!!! exactly.

I agree from a pure sporting perspective, but we can no longer continue to protect the establishment, whether that be financially or through beneficial rules.
