  “If you are sitting there, not really as a motor racing enthusiast, and you turn on the TV to watch a spectacle then Formula One isn’t that good, “ says the Coleriane-born engineering guru. “A big percentage of viewers are people who just want to switch on during the course of a Sunday afternoon and see something on TV. “They want to see more racing, drivers side-by-side, five overtaking manoeuvres a lap. We should only know who the winner is going to be when the chequered flag comes out. That’s really what the public wants to see - it needs to be gripping, keeping you on the edge of your seat.” One way to achieve this, says Anderson, now working as a television pundit, is to reverse the starting grid. He wants to see the fastest drivers start at the back of the grid, not the front. Although a whole raft of new regulations are set to come into force in 2008, Anderson does not believe they propose an adequate solution to the problem.
