The new regulations were introduced to increase the number of overtakes, and then they create a new circuit that is worse than Monaco when it comes to racing. Madring is boring.

You know you've fucked up when even Monaco of all circuits has more overtakes

The drivers all called it a high speed Monaco and before the race every commentator thought it was a compliment and that they would about to watch an exciting race. The drivers clearly meant that they wouldn’t be able to overtake.

@Bademantel I'm not sure we should count all the uncontrolled yo-yoing from the first half of the season as "good" racing but yeah this one was a bit of a snooze

I might be in the minority, but I prefer yo-yo racing to a parade.

Agreed. I'd take "artificial" overtaking over no overtaking at all any day of the week.

Pathetic.

I can’t believe that they are dropping Spa for this…

And here I was thinking 'great, a second Monaco, how dull' but oh it's actually so much worse
