Ever since it was introduced it has diminished the skill of overtaking, just like traction control did to throttle control. I notice two of the greatest overtakers in Mansell and Montoya feel overtaking has been devalued. As well as that, it’s got rid of the tension of ‘will he/won’t he be able to get passed’ a lot of the time, due to how many slam dunk passes we now see

What makes it worse is a) there’s no limit on how many times during the race it can be used and b) it gets put in places where overtaking can happen without it. As a result drivers have become too dependent on it

The sooner it’s gone the better

Agreed. In a formula which is supposed to be the pinnacle of motor racing with the best drivers in the world there is no place for this most artificial of overtaking aids. It is all too often a painful embarrassment to watch it and I truly believe that many drivers have actually forgotten the art of overtaking without it.
