Agreed, always used to get on my nerves when people would say how the racing was so much better in the 70s/80s/90s. So many instances of half the field not finishing and a minority of cars finishing on the lead lap. The current fleet of teams (minus Merc) are incredibly closely matched. Almost not looking forward to 2022 as we'll likely have a huge spread in the field once again and it'll take another 5 years for the teams to converge again.

I'm glad they're covering a lot of midfield action in the race these days, as it's where the racing is. I watched a couple of old races from the Michael Schumacher era and they pretty much just followed him round, all by himself minutes ahead of everyone else, and showed nothing else. There could have been all sorts of excitement going on back in the field but you'd never have known.
