The double file restart is definitely a step in the right direction. Now they have to get rid of the most stupid rule in all of motor racing the free pass or as it is better known, the lucky dog rule. This rule is designed to get star drivers back on the lead lap. It is 100% based on the show and has nothing to do with legitimate racing.

Of course I think that they could greatly improve the sport by getting rid of at least half of the yellow flags but the TV advertisers wouldn't be happy about that idea. An alternative would be to allow each car to only have a limited number of yellow flag pit stops. I prefer to see a car win on the track, not in the pits.
