And as I said before, there were frequently a lot wider margins of victory. On youtube there are lot of race recaps and they're good to watch, but it often ends with the narrator announcing: "And the winner wins by over a minute/two margin", literally nobody would watch if that happens every now and again. And it was also common for more than half of the grid to retire.
And the most important fact is, I'm happy that F1 is no longer a blood sport. Back then if you ****** up, you died no matter the talent or car control. And only god knows how many nameless drivers were badly or permanently injured. And back it the day, we had more pay drivers than we have today.
Sorry but no.
DRS is a gimmic that was introduced in order to hide the fact that the current way that cars are designed, the rules, if you will make the overtaking too hard, because aero is dominant.
We can get into it if you want,but fact of the matter is that DRS was brought into play because the cars simply cannot overtake without it. There is nothing involving technology about DRS,actually if you talk about DRS and involve technology about this, you make me laugh!
You can bring up technology for instance and MGU-K or KERS,sure. But DRS? Come on!
Also, I find nothing bad to the fact there have been times that the leader of the race can finish with 1, 2 , 40 seconds lead. It only shows that the team and the driver is dominant. That the others need to do something bout it.
Or do we forget, for instance Donington, or Spain 96?
