You say it is dreadful but give no opinion as to say why.

A decade is absolutely nothing,

F1 commenced circa 1950 long before most here even existed so you have no concept how F1 looked like back then.

2023 will be the equivalent of 1970. Back then 500bhp was the norm.

The circuits are a bit pants at the moment, far too restricted.

What will be your opinion when Formula E becomes the same or less weight than the ICE equivalent with say 800kw?
Exciting Formula 1 with glorious sounds biggrin

Come back to me when they have proper tracks that allow overtaking and I will watch and decide accordingly!

Given Formula One are seemingly lacking the testicular fortitude, it would be good to see FormulaE seize the bull by the horns and stage a race 'an der Nordschleife' to show the world that anyone racing a single seater on there won't instantly die. Probably run out of battery after 2/3rds of a lap but be good to see them racing on a proper circuit at least.
