    only much worse.

    Except it’s much better, not much worse. DRS led to guaranteed passes (unless there was a much worse car behind, then to a guaranteed DRS train). The current rules lead to wheel on wheel action.

    If you don’t like it, again: Watch something different. Those series exist already, I gave a couple of examples. Making F1 into yet another one of those would make little sense. Just be careful not to follow IndyCar or Super Formula because both have push-to-pass.

      It feels like you are insisting that F1 should be free of criticism? That’s literally all I’m doing, agreeing that those overtakes are simply yoyo due to the car behind being given a massive advantage, and that driver skill is less important now.

      As a sport, I think F1 sucks, but as a spectatle is somewhat great. As an engineering competition is very amazing

      EDIT: gotta admit that Ferrari battle was pretty fun to watch, made me dislike the regulation a lot less.

        Criticism is fine, I do it myself plenty. You naysayers want to turn F1 into something it never was.

        Again: Watch something else. Nobody’s forcing you to watch something you hate.
