well it was the only way Bottas was going win, by not actually overtaking anyone.

That plus the the current aero package would be heaven. I think the cameras would struggle to keep up with the cars

I personally think that Formula 1 needs to reduce the aero designs to get back to proper racing.

Yes the downforce for drivers is incredibly important and basically glues the car to the road when you have a clear track, but be behind another car and the dirty air just doesn't allow you close enough.

I think this video shows it best.


So hurtling around a corner and being within close proximity really isnt something that happens a lot anymore, which obviously gave more passing opportunities.

Look at the racing from the 70's and the 2nd clip/footage shows just what I'm trying to get across.


Is this true to an extent?
