Do you know what? I don't often do this, but I'm going to use [citation needed] on "overtaking was easier in the 80s" comment.

I started watching F1 in 1982. Whilst I do not have unfeasibly accurate encyclopaedic knowledge of things like the number of overtakes per race, I don't recall it being a passing fest like (say) the Indy 500 can be/has been in the past.
