I think people are deluding themselves somewhat if they try and pretend that F1 is alive and well as a drivers sport.
For me F1 no longer became F1 after 1997, when we lost the old technical regulations (wide cars / slicks).
Don't misunderstand me, it had been getting worse each year, but 1997 was the year it really ended for me.
We should be getting back to the kind of cars we had in the 70's / 80's, cars that drivers can powerslide around corners, tyres that don't blister after driving sideways for half a lap.
What we need is a revised 1997 set of regulations.
Wider/bigger rear tyres
slicks all round
wider cars
sequential stick shifts
throttle cables
80% cut in aero.
etc etc
