We've gone from one extreme to the other: processional-good dry races to very good-excellent (and leaving a sour taste of being manufactured) races.

Even Brundle was coming round to concluding that tyres was making the greater difference.

I fail to see where this "manufactured" or "artificial" tag is coming from. Five races in, and the best drivers and teams are coming to the fore. To me, artifical would be something like reverse grids or ballast where we see Force India or Toro Rosso winning races simply because they are handed an advantage.

Yes thats true.

For all the supposed Gimmiks, the best Driver and Car are where they deserve to be, at the front.

Exactly. Watching a driver who is clearly a good deal quicker than the one in front struggle to get past isn't my idea of fun.

Just wait for the next round of gimmicks, or you believe that Bernie is happy with Vettel walking it?
How long before the car in front will not be allowed to run more than 95% of the revs of the car behind, all this on top of KERS and DRS most probably?! Plus 'randomly' turned on sprinklers around the track!

I am not worried about what-ifs or the future, i am worried about now, and at the present I am pretty happy with the racing
no race has been processional and great drivers still drive great, but now there is more action and intrigue

strong comeback ioan...strong

perhaps you should sit this year out since it gets rather tiresome, 5 races into the year listening to continued complaints about kers, drs, tires and yet still posting blow by blow race analysis in the wrong thread. Perhaps if Massa was leading the WDC instead, you would be heaping praise on systems, or better yet, spend less time fixated on it.
