Those F1 cars are way too large for this circuit
Those F1 cars are at the end of current regulations. Remember 2013, with disgusting 9 wins in a row, 2020 with championship that was decided after couple of races.
Every now and then you get spoiled. Like 2012 was a pretty stellar season for ages... and then the next few were really uncompetitive with only one team a real contender. If either Nico/Lewis was far superior to the other then they'd be regarded as the dark days of boring domination. The fact they were close-ish was the only saving grace. You had a brief flicker that Ferrari might be able to do something... but they're Ferrari, so they won't. Then a few average years until the snorefest that was 2020, which is only saved by the fact we were happy to even have a season.
Then you had 2021 with two teams on par and the sport interest rocketed... then a few drab years until the second half of last season where it picked up a little.
Maybe we're due for another dour 2-3 years.
I expect next season to be half-decent as if it's engine-based and if Merc have the ascendancy then Merc, McLaren and Alpine (and maybe even Williams) aren't all a shambles anymore and can battle while the other engines catch up.
That being said, I think the racing itself won't be great in terms of a spectacle. However, I hope i'm wrong on that.
