The overtaking is so artificial. I want to see drivers going at it tooth and nail, each driving flat out to their limits and the better driver prevailing. I dont want to see a driver overtaking simply because his opponents battery hasn't quite topped out yet.

its just rubbish imo now, and Ive been watching F1 since the 70s, yet I doubt Ill even bother with a race now this season, go ride my bike instead :smile:

A bike ride rather than watching F1 is acceptable.

I was surprised how quickly the battery seemed to re charge and also how quickly it was depleted.

I wonder about the tactics for Monaco as that's a unique place.

I on the whole enjoyed the race, so early days though I'm not making any judgements yet as to how the season will pan out.
I've also been watching, just about, since the 70s.

It's certainly a different focus for the drivers, and seemed less about how quickly the tyres wore out, or blistered etc, so in that respect I thought the apparent lack of tyre management was something positive.

Lindblad was initially the main star for me especially as a rookie (Loved the way he didn't just elt Verstappen through), but Bearman getting up to 7th was probably equally as impressive.

The different tracks will produce interesting and very different problems

Personally I will still be watching - it should be interesting to see how they develop and cope

and what different ways they develop to use the rules in "creative" ways

I just hope Ferraro gets its act sorted out and give Lewis a decent chance - at times it seems like they have to have a committee meeting every time something unexpected happens!!

To be fair to Lewis there was no mention of the appallingly inefficient way they ran things when he read the original pay cheque.

True - I think there was a difference in expectations in terms of listening

They do seem to be getting better
but the Virtual Safety Car at the weekend was crazy - it may have been the right decision - they did come 3 and 4 after 2 faster cars
but the way Lewis reacted suggested that it was not something he could be confident that they had reacted as discussed before the race

It maybe just a good system - but the drivers are not yet confident that it works and it will settle down after discussions after the race

as with everything this year - we shall see!
Especially with the new "everything" as it is likely to produce more "incidents" that cause VSC and full SC situations
