so i was really into f1 until like 2018 and then haven't followed as closely besides Hamilton winning a billion times and max stealing the win at abu dhabi what else has happened they're going back to just ICE drivetrains soon right? have they figured out that poor mechanical grip and an overdependence on wing aero leads to god awful racing yet

i really love the f1 cheatercars like the f-duct & exhaust blown diffusers and redbull wing flex tricks and that poo poo Ferrari was pulling to skirt the fuel flow regs and w/e it's probably one of the neatest aspects to the sport even tho it leads to the most boring outcomes who was it that had ballast slipped onto em by their race engineer during a hug after the race or something so their car made weight, that was an F1 scandal right?

i feel bad for Riccardio, after that beastly season at redbull when he out drove vettel i was expecting him to have a WDC soon and then he out-alonsos alonso in the team choice & timing the mgu-h is a super cool piece of technology but i get why they'd ditch it, limited commercial application and I'd imagine it bumped engine r&d costs up by an insane amount are they still gonna be 1.6t v6s? alao did they ever find a way to make the sport not force taller drivers to starve/dehydrate themselves to near death to keep a competitive pace
