Max Mosley believes that moves to improve the spectacle of Formula One should be focused around boosting overtaking rather than a radical overhaul of the race weekend.
Earlier this year, Renault team boss Flavio Briatore suggested a shake-up to F1's format, with a GP2-type double header instead of the traditional single race.
Mosley says the FIA will consider all possibilities, but he reckons making overtaking easier should be a priority.
"We listen to all proposals," Mosley was quoted as saying by Autosprint magazine. "At the moment overtaking is difficult: we must devise a way to make it easier and to make sure that the car trailing is faster than the one preceding it, as it used to happen in the 1960s. That way it would be possible to overtake.
"If people like Flavio Briatore or Bernie Ecclestone want to change the regulations, have two heats, or invert the grid in the second race, it's all fine for us, as long as they are fair rules equal for all."
He added: "I listen; to decide is a different thing. A matter like that of GPs in two heats would require a long procedure: from 2008 Concorde ends and the decisions are down to the World Council.
"Changing the race format is a marketing choice and people like Briatore are experts in that. But my opinion is that if we have cars and circuits that improve overtaking, then there won't be a need to change the format."
