while I like to see more chances for lead changes I always hated the active rear wing that gave an unfair advantage to slower cars and increasing the chance for over-taking. That just seemed so wrong in so many ways.
Formula 1 is heavily influenced by the manufacturers who want competition and want to race machines that will benefit their consumer vehicles. So you need healthy competition, you need loyal fans at the tracks and watching races on TV. I think F1 will also feel the pain of millennials and changing consumer preferences, the youth of today don't care about sports cars or racing nearly as much as older generations, even NASCAR is feeling the pinch because of that. Race fans are getting older not younger. I don't have any creative ideas on how to get today's youth interested in racing as I just don't understand this latest generation in any way shape or form. They say canned tuna sales are way down because millennials don't like to open tuna cans, lmao, so good luck trying to figure them out.

I don't know what your base line is - W series?. But as one of the old farts on this site . . . I would disagree.

David,
I will beg to differ if you watched the IRL race at Mid-Ohio this year, or the last couple of F1 races.
FWIIW: I bet Daniel Riccardo is kicking himself for leaving the Red Bull Team because they switched to the Honda power plant. As Honda has finally gotten their F1 act together again.
