Husbanding electrons for strategic deployment is not a measure of driving skill, but a function of mathematical modelling. Im on the verge of bailing out a viewer until the next mechanical formula comes along.

While understand your viewpoint, I'm just glad that it's no longer a procession from turn one, dependent only on who has the better tyre management.

At least now there is entertainment in watching drivers overtake more often, with all the risks that entails. Look at the Ferraris on Sunday, even Leclerc came on the radio to say how much he was enjoying the race with Hamilton.

That was the second shock of the race. That the person who came out second best from some close racing claimed it was fun, rather than running to teacher to tell on the nasty man that hurt his ego.

TBH, while a procession isn't exciting its at least honest if they're in equal machinery and theyre all moving for it. An overtake under Scalextric rules is meaningless.

Interestingly, LeClerc was, rather politely, dead against it all through test and first practice, but now Fezza are suddenly doing well its not so bad after all.
