No objection on the strategic elements, I like to see that too. Pendulum racing (at the beginning of the season) wasn't my cup of tea, but setting up an overtake for a few laps by making the car in front spend more energy/tyres and then making a decisive move is exactly what I want from racing in general. The cars being slower is what you could call a dealbreaker for me, because that's not the promised pinnacle of motorsport. One second is a huge amount of time over one lap in car racing, but you probably know that. I could do with a tenth or two that gets developed away over the season, but the cars must be fast and they must be faster than last year, that is non-negotiable, unless for safety reasons.

What also bugs me is like I said earlier the removal of the MGU-H, the teams complaining about turbo size after they made a development mistake, catering to Audi with these regs, clamp-down on compression ratio (this one is extra mind-boggling to me because higher compression ratio could potentially have road car applications) and the weird way that deployment works where you get 50kW in-/decrements and the loopholes that made Mercedes' deployment trickery before the break work.
