The Chinese GP proved reversed grids will work
After leading drivers were forced to work their way back through the field on Sunday, GARY ANDERSON argues that the Chinese Grand Prix proved reversed grids could enhance the spectacle in F1
The Chinese Grand Prix was probably one of the best Formula 1 races we've seen in many years.
In order to guarantee fans the action they want in the future, what needs to be done now is to examine why there were battles raging right through the field throughout the race.
Being able to select from three tyre compounds has added to the spectacle, especially as the softest option was quick but very lap-limited. I'm not sure this will be the case at all races, but it does mean there's more room for a team and driver to take a gamble.
