I have to say and i don't want to complain too much.. but the overspeed this year is just insane.

Feel like they could do without the overtake mode, seemed like a given Kimi was getting past once he was within a second of Lewis. But that could just be because he was in a Merc.

I agree, the way drivers overtake each other with so much more speed looks just way too artificial.

It's very track dependant is all. Austria was just fine and normal racing, it's just Silverstone is a bit energy starved just like Australia was.
