| More moves to shake up F1 show |

Oct.12 (GMM) More moves are afoot to shake up the spectacle of formula one. The new FOTA alliance of F1 teams is already contemplating a proposal whereby Friday's fastest driver is awarded $1m.
It now emerges that more tweaks to the Friday practice format are possible, with some bosses pushing for a total of six hours of testing on the first day of a grand prix weekend. The format would accompany a total ban on in-season testing, with only limited post and pre-season testing allowed in the name of reducing costs. Also on the table, according to Germany's Auto Motor und Sport, is a proposal for points from qualifying. Teams are also keen to alter the standard time for races to begin in Europe, with a late morning start favoured for the television audience. "The race would finish at 12.30, giving people the rest of Sunday to do other things," Toro Rosso boss Franz Tost said. The smaller teams, meanwhile, are pushing for a budget cap, and a better distribution of the commercial revenue throughout the pitlane. "A team should be able to exist with the money we get from Bernie, and sponsors being a bonus," STR co-owner Gerhard Berger added.
