I personally disagree, I really love the dramatic sprite style they've gone with. Everything's so hyper industrial with lovely details when you zoom in.

From memory, Tsunoda, Lawson, Hulk, Perez, Zhou, and I think there was 1 more. Their strategy was paying off with lap times 3s faster and that was just getting started. Sad to seen a great strategic choice like this turn to shit because teams know the race director will be overly cautious and protect teams from having to make risky strategy calls.
They're bikes but I'm Marmite on them.
The people riding them are often inexperienced who can buy better performance without putting in the time to learn how to wield that. The number of mountain bikers I run into who pass closely on uphill sections only to slow down to a crawl at the slightest descent is infuriating.
Worse is the lime type bikes that allow complete cycling novices suddenly travel at 15mph on shared paths with absolutely no respect for anyone around them.
I don't completely disagree but this is true for all the greats. Schumi crashing into people and forcing others off track, Vettel always pushing people to to very edges of the track and his insane fake outs into dive bombs, hell Senna has his famous "if you no longer to for a gap" quote that everyone loves but have somehow forgotten that he was saying it to justify an absolutely ludicrous and dangerous move.
Even Hamilton was always criticised for his aggressive style that he would shrug off saying it's how he has to drive if he wants to win, he didn't have the luxury of driving respectfully and carefully.
I think the thing that seems to separate a good driver and a great driver is their ability to walk on the very edge of the rules to gain every little bit of an advantage possible, otherwise why are you even there? I want reform but hate the game, not the players.
Uh oh, I've spent about $2,000 on my racing setup (moza r9 wheel base, SR-P pedals, RS V2 wheel, FSR Formula wheel, and ES wheel) and for me its been worth it, but it is ludicrously indulgent. Raced against (drove in the same race 3s slower a lap) a bunch of F2, F3 and F4 drivers and even Romain Grosjean. I was running on a cheap second hand G27 for 6 years before upgrading though, I would recommend going through that first to make sure you really want to race frequently enough to justify the cost.
Ah that's awesome, but now I'm wishing I could take a peak at the 3d versions running and explore them a bit.
It would also explain why they all have the same visual vibe of the ancient dancing baby gif haha
