Bernie Ecclestone has come up with an idea that may well revolutionise F1 with the suggestion that drivers should be allowed to take up to five shortcuts per race, to overcome the problem of the lack of overtaking.

While some including anybody… in a white coat, have their doubts, the idea has been warmly received at Silverstone. A spokesman for the track said today; “We have heard that Jarno Trulli has reacted to Bernies idea by saying that F1 is not a game but we think he is wrong and that this is just what the sport needs”.

He went on; “We plan to incorporate this idea into our new track by creating a huge snakes and ladders set that will cover the entire circuit, where drivers can not only go up the ladder, gaining many places, they can also slide down snakes if they get too far ahead”.

Other plans that involve converting the glass BRDC HQ into a giant Ker-Plunk set and creating a two acre Monopoly board behind the paddock are being considered.
