It wasn't that it was impossible to overtake - the cars were just so spaced out. This was the same year that the Pacifics were qualifying 10 seconds behind the front teams

But still, if current cars are close, as you say, why can't they overtake? Atleast cars
could overtake then. It's hard to compare, really, but I suppose the closest thing to F1 cars in terms of technology, cornering speeds and variety of constructors etc is LMP racing - and when Audi and Peugeot floor it properly, which happens once or twice a season, it's the most exciting thing in motorsport.
The fastest single seaters are then GP2, IRL or FRenault 3.5. Both produce far better racing regularly than F1.
