    Overtakes just felt artificial,

    Sure, Russell shoots by from 100M back while the other guy looks like he hit the brakes. As long as F1 relies on the aero slot cars formula, it will all be processive races with fake passing. It will get worse as all teams will use data to train algorithms to harvest and deploy power in exactly the same way.
