Right let’s get one thing straight. F1 is supposed to be about the best drivers and teams getting the job done. By all means make it so cars have opportunities to race each other closely, but overtaking should never be forced.
Overtaking should be a skill, not a gift. Put it this way, there are reasons why the likes of Messi and Ronaldo always seem to end up with the most goals and it’s why people enjoy watching them play. Now it wouldn’t be the same if anybody could score a goal like that would it? We used to enjoy watching the likes of Mansell and Montoya for the overtaking moves they could pull off. Now it’s just not the same
For me DRS did to take overtaking what traction control did for throttle control. It took away the skill. And we do not need more pitstops and we definitely do not need refuelling. Let the cars run whatever tyre they want and watch the race evolve. We don’t need overtaking on every lap.
The racing will hopefully be a lot better with the 2022 cars and proof we don’t need artifical means for good racing. Just remember the drivers do it because they enjoy it and as much as they probably appreciate fan support, it’s not the main reason they do it.
At the end of the day F1 should be about skill and there are plenty of good stories from the past about exciting racing and some very impressive drives that happened because of drivers doing their art. For me seeing a Force India on pole by merit was one example of that and you would lose some of that drama if you putting in reverse grids
So appreciate F1 for what it is and don’t feel entitled you should see action every minute. After all there are plenty of other series that can wet your appetite in that time
