On that Monaco stuff, given everyone likes the qualifying, but the race is a bit processional, how about…
1. Scrap the qualifying – no, reallly, stick with me.
2. Scrap the race – wait for it…
3. Replace it with a 10 lap, perhaps 15, team time trial.
Head off in reverse team championship order, rolling start, time starts on first car crossing line, finishes on second car.
If a team bin it they’re ranked on how far they got, not the time.
Identical driver points based on the team’s position.
Perhaps the combined normal points of 1st & 2nd to the first team, then 3&4, and so on.
Different from normal racing, might suit Monaco, great PR photos, and not really that contrived (like DRS, or joker lap routes, etc)
