The only thing I find interesting about the sport these days is the engineering. The problem with that kind of an interest, however, is that we really don't get to see much of it - it's all proprietary. The teams cannot share it with the fans because, well, they would also be sharing it with the other teams. I wish there were a way to provide us with a little more insight into what they are doing. From what we are allowed to see, it certainly seems quite interesting.

As far as the "racing", however - there just isn't any. The cars are too critical to follow one another long enough to set up an overtaking move. We see a lap, maybe a lap and a half of real racing at the start, after which they all settle into position and hope something goes wrong with the guy in front of them. The leader "controls" the pace, even at times (much of the time, actually) going far slower than he is able, knowing full well that if the car behind him closes the gap it will suffer a lack of downforce, it will overheat, and its tires will go off, rendering it impotent and unable to stay there for long.

This simply has to change. We were all excited that it might, under the 2021 rules, but now we have to wait another year. I'll wait and see what happens under the now 2022 rules. If it turns out to be more of the same, I'll probably follow Williams' lead and quit F1 - I've been watching about as long as they have been a team. I'm just one insignificant fan, but boy, there are an awful lot of us feeling this way right now.
