   I think he makes some good points there, but it's also fair to say that a   
   part of the "issue" is that the whole field is so much more competetive   
   now than it was even a decade ago. The cost cap has brought that parity   
   in, and it's broadly a good thing that it's not just one or two teams   
   lapping the whole field - most races there's half the grid who could   
   reasonably end up on the podium. Another aspect is the cars - they're too   
   damn big! Seeing footage from the early 2010s is a real eye-opener, the   
   cars are tiny by comparison.   
      
   Re tyres, is there a case to make for a rule mandating that all compounds   
   must be used in a race, soft and medium and hard? That'd make every race a   
   two-stopper, and you'd have people start on softs to try and gain places   
   early and others who'd save the softs for a sprint to the finish. It could   
   be good...
