Jenson Button believes Formula 1 could benefit from introducing shorter races as he claims it would be very difficult to attract a younger audience using the current format. The two-hour cut-off point in grands prix has existed for some time, but Liberty Medias takeover of Formula 1 has prompted several ideas into how to improve the sport and boost its global reach.And one area Button says might help entertain a new audience more, although admitting die-hard fans may not approve, is by cutting the race time. Ron wont go until McLaren winThere will always be the fans of 10 or 20 years that will watch a whole grand prix, but we need to attract younger fans, the McLaren driver said. To try and attract them to watch something for that long is very difficult.Its a tough one because Formula 1 is an hour and a half race, and changing that is a shame as its the way the sport has always been. But I guess we also have to move with the times if we want the sport to be relevant. Natalie Pinkham is joined by former BAR and Benetton Team Principal David Richards and Sky F1s Marc Priestley to review the US Grand Prix Button went on to explain his position, trying to compare how Formula 1 is today to other sports.Peoples attention spans these days are terrible, including mine, he explained. Short races, short sports are on the up. For example the sprint in track and field, people love it because its short, its a burst of energy while a grand prix is an hour and a half.The Formula 1 Gossip ColumnWith baseball in America, its not the most exciting thing, but every time theres not something happening on the pitch theres something else going on. Thats what we need in Formula 1.The 2009 world champion did, however, add he felt F1 was in the right hands with Chase Carey and Liberty Media. Former Benetton and BAR Team Principle David Richards and Marc Priestley discuss whether Ron Dennis should leave McLaren In terms over the sport the last couple of years its been a tricky place - the drivers havent been so happy with how the cars feel, or the regulations, he added.But the sport understands that and theres so much changing next year - so thats fantastic.

The Mudgal Report has admonished CK Khanna, vice-president of the Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA) since 1982, saying his pernicious influence is responsible for the major ills of the premier state association. The remarks about Khanna are doubly concerning because he is also the vice-president of the BCCI from the central zone.The major ills of the DDCA can be traced to a long-serving vice-president of DDCA, the Mudgal report, which was submitted in Delhi High Court on Monday, said. The report was prepared by Justice Mukul Mudgal, the former chief justice of Punjab and Haryana High Court, who was appointed this February to oversee the conduct of matches at Feroz Shah Kotla during the World T20 and IPL, between March and May.While he highlighted in detail the various problems that have plagued the DDCA for many years now, Mudgal reserved his sternest words for Khanna. It was seen during my tenure that there is no transparency or accountability in the functioning of the some senior office bearers of DDCA, the report said. The most pernicious influence affecting DDCAs administration is the ever-present Mr CK Khanna, who is the vice-president of DDCA for several years and also happens to be the vice-president of BCCI, though from the central zone. He controls a large number of proxies and, accordingly, has a strong hold in DDCA.The proxies, Mudgal pointed out in the report, are the thousands of members of DDCA who are given one complimentary pass for every match conducted at Feroz Shah Kotla. The only purpose these members serve, he said, is that of voting during the DDCA executive committee elections.In his conclusions, Mudgal noted that the proxy system is the bane of Delhi cricket and subject to other legal requirements deserves to be jettisoned. Mudgal said the list of these few thousand members, acting as proxies, needed to be properly scrutinised.According to Mudgal the complimentary tickets and passes are a bone of contention between various office bearers, executive committee members and other authorities at the DDCA. And it was here Khanna used his influence to get as many complimentary passes as he could. He excels in at evading responsibility and claiming ccredit for an achievement by someone else, Mudgal noted.dddddddddddd His paramount interests are peddling of complimentaries to gain favours and satisfy his proxy interests, and mounting the dais repeatedly for presentations. He craves for every photo opportunity.Mr Khanna has not the slightest interest in promotion of cricket in Delhi and his sole occupation is the traction obtained by complimentaries to his proxies and various authorities. He specialises in using his proxy power from behind the scenes and always avoids putting his signature on any document to avoid any responsibility. He is very efficient at securing complimentaries for the avowed purpose of giving to various licensing/sanctioning authorities and diverting some of them for his own benefit.According to the report, a clear case of conflict of interest could be established against Khanna, who had three relatives serving at DDCA. He has planted his relatives in various positions in DDCA, for example a) Mr Anil Khanna, General Secretary (first cousin) b) Ravi Khanna, Patron (brother) c) Vivek Gupta, Joint Secretary (wifes first cousin). This is clear case of conflict of interest.The report highlighted the downward course taken by Delhi cricket in the Ranji Trophy. It argued that if Delhi is to regain its pre-eminence in domestic cricket, Khanna has to leave the DDCA. Mr CK Khanna is present throughout working hours in DDCA. His supporters who keep him in power are only interested in complimentaries and free food and liquor during matches. Mr CK Khanna is one person whose latent actions along with his proxy-controlled acolytes have brought down the reputation of DDCA. Delhi, which has given several great cricketers to the Indian team, including the present Test captain, now languishes in the second tier of Ranji Trophy. All those who want to work only in the interests of betterment of cricket are hampered and prevented at every stage by the influence of CK Khanna. A restoration of Delhi cricket to its erstwhile glory may not be possible with Mr CK Khanna controlling the affairs of DDCA.
