That's the biggest change in recent decades for me. Random* drivers picking off the entire field in order to win because they've made an inspired design and strategy choice is one of the things that's missing.
But, I fear, this is just ending up as another one of those "what is F1" questions again...
*Excluding the current top cars which can do it to order.

There is nothing wrong discussing what Formula One is or should be. I wish Formula One's stakeholders had done it more often and, above all, more fundamentally.
And yes, it would be great to see drivers and cars having different paces relatively during the year, during different stages of the races and even through different sections of the track, but then again, without pit stops. Let drivers think about their strategy.
