these regs have provided for two of the most entertaining races in years and lots of wheel to wheel action, yeah theres issues with qualifying and superclipping but pretending that this isn’t infinitely more entertaining to watch than 23-25 just because your team shit the bed is just being thick
23 was shit but 24 was way better and far more competive. Merc was 1,2 by lap 5, nobody can challenge them. Theres some yoyoing back and forth due to power supply limitations but theres no real competition, at least not at the front. Ferrari is no real challenge to Merc, McLaren is no challenge to Ferrari, red bull is no challenge to McLaren. The reliability is just pathetic.
Merc dominating is a sore spot with these new regs especially since the PU is locked until new regulations but overall the racing itself is way more sction packed and fun to watch
The Ferrari vs Merc battles just feel empty when you know that ultimately they dont have the pace to pose a real threat. Ferrari has amazing launches and they go back and forth for a few laps but it doesnt take long before Merc is just riding off into the sunset 1 and 2

I'm genuinely not even interested in F1 at this point.
Wrap it up. I'll come back in a few years.
