So some cars were faster than others, but you said the cars were more similar. I go back to the late 70s. Part of the reason racing was exciting was because of the new found speed, the style, the personalities and it was more dangerous. But nostalgia is probably playing tricks on you, there wasn't that much overtaking with Senna or Prost.
When I made my post I even thought of that manoeuver (I haven't bothered to click play, I know what happened), which backs up my point - they were infrequent enough that we both think of the same one.
Again, we probably all remember that. So two overtaking manoeuvers in 2 years. That showed me.
And obviously there's only 1 overtake per year now too.
It may seem like that, but I think it may be other car improvements that stop little mistakes costing too much time. It's not the speed though, because the faster a car, the bigger difference a small mistake can make. And F1 cars don't just get back up to speed, they're constantly accelerating.
Agreed, that's pretty lame. But I think that's because there's never been enough overtaking.
I think that's been the case for decades.
Exhaust emissions? Do you mean the effect of the front car on the aerodynamics of the following car?
That's harsh
The 2 car limit has been since the 80s I think. In the 70s teams sometimes had quite a few cars (more than 2 I'm sure).
