  The concept of handicapping, in the context of handicapping the fast red cars so Schumacher doesnt win the championship halfway through the year, is occasionally brought up, and then shot down as an anathema to everything Formula 1 stands for.
I think however its a perfect fit for another problem - how (at least) to get the fast red cars to occasionally start a little bit further back than the front row of the grid. Yes - I belive that qualifying could benefit from a handicapping scheme. If Michael Schumacher...
I mean whoever is the current leader in the championship standings, were to have as little as a 0.1 second disadvantage to the next driver in the standings - well the front of the grid could end up just a little turned around. And watching Michael Schumacher win races (and championships) after fighting his way from fourth or something, would do more to satisfy my fandom... there is a difference between simply driving fast and not letting anyone past, and, well, making the sort of moves Barichello impressed me so much with last year.
