I couldn't agree more, Touched. Well said. F1 is more about the cars than the racing. If you want to see good open wheel racing, IndyCar is your series. Although there are teams that dominate the sport like Penske and Ganassi, even Rahal wins some races now and then. Even the smallest teams are competitive. But people turn their noses up at it. "Oh, it's a spec series!" That said, I'd hate to see F1 turned into IndyCar. The engineering is amazing and I'm an engineer so I can appreciate what goes into designing and building these cars.
And if you want to see real innovation and good racing at the same time, WEC is where it's at, particularly the GT class. (Something needs to be done to bring manufacturers back into LMP1. It's gotten cost prohibitive to the point that Toyota is really the only team still running a hybrid LMP1 anymore.) Speaking of which, the first race of the season starts tomorrow at Circuit of the Americas. The main problem with this series is that there are only 4 races on the calendar: COTA, Sebring, Spa and Le Mans.

Sadly the uber political BS of the FIA seems to be destroying the WEC’s top class. Hypercar is Dead in the water with Aston Martin pulling their program. IMSA is on the right track with LMDh, hopefully they can get back to the GT1 days of racing.
The Rolex 24 has had some phenomenally close racing over the past few years in DPi and in GTLM, should be exciting to see the expanded field in 2 years.

In. Can't wait for the new season. Yeah, we already have a pretty good clue how the season will play out but the drama between the drivers helps assuage that. Plus, Hamilton seems like a genuinely good person so I find it hard to root against him.
We all know that Ferrari will find a way to feuck up several races with poorly timed pit stops or by backing the wrong driver on a particular day. It's Ferrari, after all. If they had the decision making of the Mercedes team they'd have won a race or two more last year.
