The changes in 2022 have already worked very well. As Ferrari is the strongest team in the sport, Mercedes are struggling. Most importantly, what happened in Abu Dhabi GP last year saw FIA make some slight changes in the Safety Car rule this year. So, what do the fans suggest apart from these?
How did the fans react to the question?
Well, the fans have all been pretty creative while answering. Be it suggesting some rules changes, or introducing a new rule, they’ve all been very interesting. Honestly, the changes they want to bring might spice things up a bit, but they might also have their drawbacks.

I know it says 1, but I'm having 2.
Scrap blue flags. A good driver would get past without being let through.
And new points system so all finishers get points. Rubbish 1x10th plus 21x20th/DNF is better than 22x11th. Consistent finishes should be rewarded over 1 lucky race.

Not a rule as such but bring back the Pirelli rainbow tyres, and let teams have access to choose from all compounds over a race weekend, instead of just 3. pic.twitter.com/aLn0ZrYY4c

If you had a 10 second lead and then there’s a safety car you should get to keep your 10 second lead and not get to close in on the car ahead.

I would have the drivers drive cars from each team for sixteen races. Cars to be allocated at Random. Then we would know the best driver and the car team that garners most points would still be champion. As at now some drive jets others wheelbarrows.

Bring back the rule where the teams cannot put on team orders to invert their drivers.Would be lot more interesting that way.
