Tbh, I hate a lot of the direction that F1 has went in.

Banning FRIC, banning the use of exotic, lightweight materials in engines, extremely restrictive engine regulations, strange changes to rules surrounding braking systems, bans on various suspension systems (particularly ones that Mercedes used), etc.

DAS is particularly annoying. It was a clever bit of tech and was operated entirely manually, by the driver, using wheel adjustments.

It's not like it was some driver aid where a computer did everything for the driver, like ABS or launch control would be.

This is perhaps controversial, but I think the budget cap is bad too. All it's done is lock in advantages and heavily punished teams who make bold or incorrect design decisions.

F1 is always badged as the pinnacle of motorsport, but all these over-the-top restrictions are putting that in jeopardy.

Agreed on both fronts. I liked DAS and imagine a world where it wasn't banned and restarting from a safety car was closer to racing immediately. I guess that isn't necessarily a good thing or a bad thing, but it seems everyone would impliment between seasons.

Hopefully they have less setup pains, last year was insanely hot and cold on setup
