Changes afoot to fix boring F1

McLaren-Mercedes team principal Ron Dennis said at the Autosport show in Birmingham, England that, "Within a few days, we will get the results of a global market research into the perception of F1 by the public, by the audience. It might mean by varying the qualifying format, it might be varying the race format, or it might be by changing the accessibility of F1."

"I am pure," he argued, "but it can be pretty boring – not to me, but it can be pretty boring for you guys if the race is a procession.

"We have to be mindful of the fact that those people who are captured by F1, their interest is maintained."
