I think that an alternative to the present pitting situation would be to allow a maximum of "X" number of yellow flag pit stops per car, per race. I think that it absolute stupidity that cars come in for 4 "fresh" tires when the tires they now have on only have a hand full of laps on them.

Another alternative would be to have only 1 or maybe 2 laps under caution instead of the 5 or 10 laps now to remove a piece of debris from the track. You want to pit under the yellow, go right ahead but the race may very well be back under green before you are finished.

Unfortunately, they will not do any of these things because they have to run so many commercials on TV. Lets face it guys, this is not a race, it is a show that happens to include a race.
