It might also take away a few challenges,such as Degner Curve,maybe,but can create new ones.Like screaming downhill at Beau Rivage desperately trying to find the brake heading into Sainte Devote.Or cars approaching Estoril at full chat at Magny-Cours.
Mad first two corners at new Silverstone would be interesting. Also Melbourne. Backwards Interlagos would be quite exciting to watch as they made their way off the grid.
Eau Rouge backwards?! Epic.

eurobrun probably wouldn't hate him. Also, Renault would literally run one car, which they might as well have done the entire season anyway.
In those circumstances, I would assume that the next driver to be offered a seat would be di Grassi, given that he was the designated test driver for Renault in 2009. Mind you, turning down such a move might have risked damaging his relationship with Boullier - don't forget that Boullier was managing Grosjean at the time through Gravity Sport Management (and still does), and at the same time managing Renault Sport's young driver program, so he would have been under pressure from the team and his manager to continue his expected line of development towards an F1 seat.

What if Michael Schumacher, in 1997, refused to do road safety talks, as demanded by FIA? Would his 1994-1995 titles be given away to Damon Hill? Would his super-licence be revoked? (See this)
What if Arrows, in 2002, instead of telling to their drivers to deliberately DNQ, managed to fake food poisonings to their drivers? (See this)

Actually, it makes sense, having a F1 driver talk road safety. If they can drive an F1 car at 300km/h, then surely they can also drive a sedan at 40km/h safely...

On the Arrows, Im not sure. I guess it is possible, perhaps the whole team could have been ill as well. I dont know what will happen. But in hindsight, they go to Germany, and are bust by Hungary.
Miserable Thierry (Boutsen) staggers round mostly on ten cylinders (out of 12) with no clutch, low oil pressure, bad brakes and no grip to finish tenth, 3 laps down...

The cars would look better.
But then there would be no 'Buzzin Hornets' or whatever.
Also, does anyone want to answer this properly?

A race remembered as one of the most boring and processional of all time, I imagine. Tuero might have been unrejectified however.
I'm not sure that it would be feasible to clear the track under a safety car because there was so much debris spread across the track - even the safety car could have been badly damaged if it had to drive through the wreckage. Added to that, with the very poor visibility and waterlogged conditions that day, it would have been too much of a risk to send marshals out there to clear the track with the cars running - if somebody started aquaplaning in those conditions, it would be all too easy for a marshal to be seriously injured in those conditions.

What if the 2012 F1RWRS season was made into a film?
We'd never hear the end of Lon's complaints, and I might die of despair seeing both my team and Dagnall throw away both championships having been leading them into the final round!

Most of Lon's complaints were about JC too. Didn't too his reputation a world of good.
