My Proposal

Now that the F1 world has gone completely upside-down, I want to know what your thoughts or any proposals to make F1 better.
IMO, the current changes are all a bunch of crap, intended to turn F1 from racing to entertainment; [kind of like WWF]
If this holds true, who's to say a few decades down the road F1 cars won't be going through loops like Hot Wheels:mad:
There's no way to get rid of all this 'Ferrari dominance', but I think the T.V. money should go towards the last place team to the top team. Ironic as it may seem, but Ferrari's total revenue from sponsors and sales and whatnot is probably more than their TV money altogether, while teams like Minardi will never see that type of money with the way F1 is going right now.
Also, I propose that now with CART under FIA , CART should be a minor F1 league [like how the AHL is a minor league to the NHL in North American hockey].
Recruitment of new drivers is what will make the sport more exciting. Right now, it is so hard to find good drivers; with CART being a training ground, it will be easier; similarily, F1 teams can then [I]draft drivers to become their test drivers, full-time drivers, etc.
To summarize, I really made 2 proposals:
1. Divide TV money in reverse order, from last to first [ie. last place team gets the most]
2. Use CART as a league before F1, like Formula 3000, etc.

Actually, I was mistake, they're contemplating it...so let me edit my proposal:
Have the major teams supply lower grade engines to the F3000 to serve as a pre-F1 establishment.
