Not unlike any other field where initial advancement is exciting and then it makes way to tiny, "boring", incremental evolution.
The second problem is indeed that regulation in the sport leaves less and less room for creativity in an attempt to level the playing field and prevent "abuse". I have a feeling that the regulation now looks more like a whitelist rather than a blacklist. Everybody is allowed to "innovate" the exact same thing.
- ska 8y agoThe tricky part about that is that you risk making a pay-to-win sport, which is very boring.
- close04 8y agoTrue, I think this is to prevent big players who can afford it from bankrupting the competition. I guess it turns out boring either way. Although there is a silver lining: with identical cars it's down to pilot skill. I still don't see F1 or FE too exciting right now.
- beat 8y agoI've found F2 to be much more exciting than F1 this year, and I think a big part of it is that the cars don't have as much "innovation", and are much closer to identical performance-wise. Barring some surprise changes or race-by-race accidents/failures, we're looking a season of 1-2 Mercedes, 3-4 Ferrari, 5-6 Red Bull. That doesn't feel like racing.
