By Américo Teixeira Junior – The 2016 Formula 1 season will be again same that the two previous, won by Mercedes and Lewis Hamilton. And, if we don’t have guarantee that will be different next year, the conclude is that the category needs to change. the first point is to change the current rules about engine, almost a nickname for the new unit of power. And to back again with the private practices for the teams and constructors involved in competition. If the Formula 1 is “sick”, the “medicine” can be in America.

About this, the Formula 1 needs to change the concepts and the IndyCar’s model is a good solution. This subject between two series is crazy. While the Formula 1 wants to remain in the way of top technologies ans developments, the technical option of IndyCar is very simple. Despite this, the championship from USA has privates practices during the season. For other side, the Formula 1 needs to do it because is the top, but simply it’s forbidden.

In opposite of Formula 1, with only eight day of workout, the IndyCar has a much better planning about this. Of course is not a “paradise of freedom” for the teams, but the 22 days available for practices before and during the season is consistent with needs of sport. Are eight day for the teams, more eight of official practices, more two days of each constructor (Firestone, Chevrolet and Honda). In the end of the season, the window of practices was about three weeks.

The Formula 1 should seriously to think about this.
