Everyone knows that Formula 1 is now a more boring sport than it should be.
This is mostly because aerodynamics and narrow tracks make it really hard for cars to pass each other.
Today’s invention is a simple fix. Cars would be equipped with sensors to determine when another car was in a position to pass.
Once that has been established, the car in front would automatically be throttled back by say 2% to let the following car overtake.
In this way, the driver’s task becomes to stop his opponent getting into a precise overtake position…just as great a test of skill but with more passing and better looking racing.
