I guess so, I never got the fan frustration from 2002. IMO F1 was WAY more boring when Mika was on top. This year there were interesting starts, the racers were compelling and there was actual competitive passing happening behind the ferraris. Indy was one of the best races of the season, anyone who needed Ferrari to show them that who won was not an interesting aspect of the race was pretty blind.
I'm worried in 2003 that F1's on track action may be equal to CART's. Last year was really stagnent in the passing department and I don't think the new rules will cure the lack of passing. Maybe the 16 rookies in the field will make things more interesting. PT winning from the back multiple times?
I'm also worried about the lack of power reducing the passing.
