Just shows you that Bernie is nuts, remember his idea of gold, silver and bronze medals instead of points. He reminds me of Max, Bernie's had 1 to many spankings

If they could eliminate sand-bagging, I'd like to hear about the pros and cons of inverted starts.

No, I don't think straight line speeds would be affected. If anything, maybe faster. But the wings allow for very fast corner speeds and making the cars slower in the corners means greater differential in corner speeds vs. speeds on the straights.

Hence the acceleration I mentioned. And longer braking zones. Currently there is too little of a window for passing under braking. It's almost always is a Kamikaze move.

Then, too, with slower corner speeds, the driving technique becomes one of corner exit speed because that determines who is in front at the next corner.

Or something like that. ;) :D

Sorry, lets get this right. Bernie knows he is God. Fortunately some day he will find out otherwise...
