I can't lie and say I'm not feeling the same to some extent. I used to write wall-of-texts in the post-race thread giving my thoughts and recapping but I've just not had it in me to do so this season, partly because of enthusiasm but partly because I don't know what to say really.

I think the one thing that hinders my enjoyment is the algorithm. I'm fine with a 50/50 split, super clipping, and electric push-to-pass instead of DRS. I can handle those. In fact, I think overtake mode is a better solution than DRS.

What I can't handle is the internal ship computer having a mind of its own and the drivers being at the mercy of its whims. I can't handle the drivers not being in control and just hoping lap-to-lap that the algorithm will decide to give them good deployment. I don't care if the cars are faster or more efficient this way, the deployment should be fully in the hands of the drivers. They should have a button for deployment and sh should have to decide themselves when and how much battery they use every lap.

I'm still watching every race, because it's a family event and it's nice to get together for it. It's still fun to follow the circus and the drama and engineering and the upgrade race and politics and all the other off-track stuff. But I'm less invested in the races for sure. I'm glad there's other stuff to watch though, F2 has been pretty good this season (as always). Highly recommend watching that for anyone that doesn't already.
