These Mercs could start from the pitlane and still win the race, doesnt matter if they lose places at the start as long as they avoid contact :wink:

Those Mercedes … even driven by Russell and Antonelli, neither of them being truly standout racer and overtaker. Although it is easy to see the extent to which drivers race craft and overtaking ability has been neutralized by the regs. Russell, still finds a way to expose himself though, again , ironically …

Was it better before? No. It's pointless to complain about rules because one team is much faster than others.

This is just because the gaps between the teams are big (start of the formula). It will converge.

If anything, I'd say this amount of close battles with Mercedes being half a second faster is proof the ruleset is good.

Yeah, we all need to project more
Positivity as Stefano said.
Never in my life before, in 25+ following F1 was I chatting in the forum during the race. Shows how “exciting” and meaningful the whole spectacle is, when you spent more time on the phone than TV “watching” a race.
The whole point of complain isn't that one team is so much faster than others, if thats still not clear. Thats the least problemstic part.

Truly an amazing race … and so many people crying it’s unbelievable really.

When was the last time a race so exciting in Japan?

Starting procedure and quality will converge, thats for sure. Come back to us when this will happen and tell how exciting racing is.
