People complain bitterly and lament the death of the sport all too quickly after a quiet race (France), and seemingly lose sight of the fact that bad races are quite inevitable, and then lo and behold a great race comes along (Austria).
Watch back some races from past eras (full race coverage, not the highlights) - there has always been boring / bad / noncompetitive races - races when the first two cars lap the entire field. Of course, we always remember the exciting bits, but who remembers the dull races?
That's not to say F1 is perfect. I would love to see the midfield teams able to bring the fight to the top 3 teams. And DRS is not really what I like to see, but is a necessary evil at the present time.
