The F1 GP from Hungary was not a classic. Qualifying was made more interesting than the race thanks to the weather, but even drivers like Nasr, who drove brilliantly, lost out solely due to timing. That Mercedes continue to dominate as they do is not good for the sport, but that is their job. Rule changes are mooted just as Red Bull start to catch Mercedes up and big money teams like Mercedes are likely to cope better with changes than smaller teams.
That said, IF they could increase mechanical grip and decrease dependence on aerodynamic grip, or down force, so that we could see cars slip streaming and not wrecking their tyres then for me that would be an improvement. I also understand that Pirelli were briefed to produce tyres that wouldn't last too long in order to mix things up a bit, but wouldn't it be nice to see drivers wring the car's neck without having to worry so much about destroying tyres?
Just the thoughts of a fan.
