All valid points in your post, and driver and team rivalries are a big part of the sport. That being said they need to get back to doing the winning and losing in the cars on the track. There is far too much crying on the radio and through the media to mommy and daddy at Race Direction these days. It's gotten obnoxious. Too often when I'm watching races I find myself thinking 'Just STFU and race! Stop whining and be faster!' This past Saudi round was a prime example. I tuned in to watch the best drivers in the world go as fast as possible to try and win, not have the rule book read to me half the broadcast because someone is complaining. The constant petty games and groaning detract from the sport.
Great68 - makes sense. Cars on track more = more passing. The pit stops have gone from about eight seconds to two. I'd be in favour of them retaining the larger fuel capacities and shortening the race distance - make the races flag to flag. 50 mins to an hour flat out, then it would get really intense in the later stages when fuel loads lighten and tires go off. The two second pit stops feel awkward and unnecessary.
Here's hoping the changes next season make the racing better
