Sadly it has none of the above anymore, the excessive rules have really killed the sport IMHO, they keep bringing in more and more rules to try and get the budget down, but it doesnt work as the more rules you have the less room there is for innovation and the easier it becomes to buy your way towards the front of the grid.
Shame, as there are some truely great drivers out there, but you really dont get to see how good they are when they are all just spending 99.9% of the time looking like a quicker version of a parade lap.
not 100% true, kers which was there last year is filtering its way into road cars and other things that we dont get to see/know about end up getting used in other areas!!
But agree other than the kers giving a bit of an edge last year there hasnt been alot that makes the races any more exciting, and agree its the beginning and the end that ususally provide most of the entertainment lol.
The no fuel thing is stupid and as said has privided entertainment when thngs go tits up lol, come next year they gonna ban pit stops altogether?!
Think the last time i actually got excited watching a race was when lewis took the title as we were at mclaren headquaters and the atmosphere was electric by the end!!!
