QuoteF1 has never been about constant wheel to wheel racing in its entire history, so you shouldn't expect that. If you want that, go watch touring cars.Hmmm, I must have dreamt that entire Senna/Prost era then
Having said that, for the past decade there has been far too much development in performance of aerodynamics. This greatly hinders cars from following each other to allow overtakes. They should greatly reduce the aerodynamic side of development and allow more freedom to create mechanical grip. Not only will that produce closer more exciting racing, but it is also more likely to result in parts filtering down to road cars.
But if people are finding this season of F1 boring, the sport really isn't for you. It's exceptionally rare for 5 drivers to be in contention for the title at the end of the season.. Mansell? I mere figment of my imagination.
I've always said there is too much aerodyamic grip, then need to severely reduce this.
Only reason there are so many in contention is simply due to number of points for a win. That in itself doesn't make it exciting.
I agree this was a golden era for F1 in both drivers and cars. Cars had more mechanical grip and very little in aerodynamics which gave closer racing, but not significantly more than nowadays. The gulf between the teams at the front and back were just as apparent, if not more so at times! It was certainly not wheel to wheel lap after lap, even if small clips over a decade suggest otherwise.
This season has been far from boring.
