^This. It always seems that people have rose-coloured glasses when discussing F1's history. There has practically always been one or two dominant teams, then a mid-field, and then the guys at the back, regardless of era. A graphic shown on TV after Merc won their latest championship testified to this... there were multiple periods of the same teams winning the championship 3/4/5 times in a row. The various stats on the number of overtakes per race also show little difference between eras, showing that the actual racing itself hasn't changed a lot.I've been watching since the 1970's and despite what youtube shows you it's always been about 1 or maybe 2 teams .
Personally, I think 2020 has actually been somewhat more "exciting" (I use the word loosely) due to the midfield battles being so much closer than previously. But I think it's going to take a fundamental change for F1 to be truly exciting again. Perhaps that will be 2022, but I doubt it.
The Haylo makes a over head view which is better than the driver view. And Graphics can be put onto haylo for brakes and revs. The sound is bad but car companies have little interest in big block engines (V8 or bigger) on the road so they need small block engines so the tech goes into road car. On TV today there was a review of a small 3 cylinder car from Mitsubishi Verry easy on Gas.I agree with your whole post, but particularly this. Personally, I really enjoy the midfield battles.
To me, the better thing about older cars was the sound too. They also were arguably more attractive. I was surprised when I met a F1 fan who said that because of the halo it is now "completely unwatchable." I didn't ask if he was a member of RaceDepartment and played Automobilista 2 though.
Yes Domination will be part of any sport. In motor racing there is a big difference in money and performance from one team to the next. The amount of money used by a team to build a car and haul it all over the world must be very big. Every time a car crashes or retires you can see the dollar bills floating away.I've been watching since the 1970's and despite what youtube shows you it's always been about 1 or maybe 2 teams . There has been odd exceptions but the best racing has always been midfield.
You say you lost interest. So what changed. All i can see is a few silly rules here and there but nothing drastic. Sometimes the past seems better from where we are. 10 years from now we will think these are the golden years.I absolutely loved the variety of circuits used this year, which was absolutely great. For the rest F1 bored me to death again and I fear the next year will be exactly the same again.
It needs a drastic reform to become interesting again.
