When a sport has to start introducing gimmicks and convoluted rules to address issues or spice things up then there is a problem.

NASCAR has that with the playoffs, competition yellows and 'Stages' (basically mini races within the main race) and the fans hate it.

There has always been a "formula" in formula one. There's nothing new about this.

DRS, push-to-pass, active aero, tyres designed to die, gimmicks implemented to try and increase on-track action.

Same thing happened in touring cars. Touring cars in the 80s and 90s was some of the best action you could ever see. Then it got overly complicated and now even they have go fast buttons because they can't race like they used to.

Tweaking regulations for various reasons has always been central to F1. This isn't a new thing. There's a mixture between scientific development, safety and sporting considerartions in deciding what the formula should be. And commercially F1 is at the strongest it has ever been, so arguments of a dying sport are clearly misplaced.

When you have to give drivers a button to go faster because cars are incapable of being near each other, you have a massive problem. This should not be difficult to see.

10-20 km/h overspeed with DRS was a zero skill overtake. Defending driver was always a sitting duck. The new system is going to work largely the same way.

Maybe a problem for you. Clearly not a problem for the decision makers, team owners and drivers.
 
Jassis, the year has barely started and the meaningless spam gets thrown in our faces already.

Its a double edged sword. Do nothing and there will be less than 3 overtakes a race and nobody will watch anymore add some ability to increase overtaking and there are some boring overtakes but at least it opens up some strategy that requires teams to plan for it.

I think part of the problem was the cars increasing in size to increase safety but it seems like they are at least trying to rectify that where they can in conjunction with putting interim workarounds like drs/over speed in place.
