I think a lot depends on how the new aero rules effect how closely the cars can race. If the racing is close it might be like the 60's through the early 80's again where everything was a lot more variable!Big Tea wrote: ↑22 Nov 2021, 17:11As long as it has been a good fight I don't really car who wins as long as it is a straight (non political fight).
Having said that though I do feel I would like to see Lewis win this year just to get the record of titles, after that, bring em all on. I'm sure Max will get a string probably over the next 3 years.

A big gap exists between Jack and Alain when no driver could win consistently.
Things became more and more reliable.
