Default The ones with talent are now standing out

It is becoming very interesting with the new rules and regulations. Last night during their 90min practice sessions it was like watching one after another spin out.

entertaining

not until now
no engine breaking and no tc. some of those teams out there hardly had a chance to practice without this. I suspect by the middle of the season that the engineers will have it pretty well good though by tuning the clutch, aero's etc.

can't wait to watch again next weekend though, f1 is actually entertaining now

I watched it and I actually enjoyed it for the first time in what seems like more than a decade. When you are supposed to be racing at the pinnacle of motorsport having driver assist aids is a little lame.

It really is now much more about the driver and the team and not so much about the engineers making the cars as idiot-proof as they can be made.

It showed this past weekend. Good racing, mistakes were punished. Where is the passing in F1? Whoop, there it is.
