Until we blame the right things, or accept the actual cause, nothing will change. And even then. The regulations have slightly influenced it, but it’s not the inherent issue.

Actually Adam, I think you're both right. It's a combination of car and track design combined with idiocy like the continuation of DRS. As I've said time and time again (boring, boring), unless the governing body (and the teams) are prepared to be 'brave' and try it without DRS we'll never know whether drivers can get overtakes done without artificial aids. Which almost certainly means that we will have to live with them for many years yet.
