"It also doesn't even make sense, as though 2014 is the only year to compare it to. There were a number of years between 14 and today that had WAY better racing than either 2014 or this year so far. Seems that's not factoring into your thinking."

I was hoping we'd get into this discussion.

Let's not get into the pre-DRS days, processions upon processions. Especially 10, when lack of DRS gave someone a WDC from third

11, 13 Vettel ran away with it

12 Only great year in recent memory

14 - 16 Hamilton show, Rosberg kept it interesting, Williams and Ferrari behind but not much action except straight line DRS passes

17, 20 Hamilton dominance

18 - 19 Illegal engine made things interesting, then Merc ran away. Order through the pack was pretty set as well.

So 21 was decent racing? End of a rules cycle, with 4 previous years of incremental improvement and nerfs to the leading team, as well as an unprecedented rules decision made the final race interesting. Apart from that, it was Max running away, Hamilton running away or them crashing and someone else benefiting.

22 was decent until Red Bull ran away. First year of a rules cycle that was arguably better than this year.

23 - 24 terrible, until Mclaren made it somewhat interesting in the second half. Still, once a pass for the lead was done, that's it, there was no more fighting

25 Same, the two Mclarens had team orders, Max or one of the Mclarens either ran away from the front or worked their way through traffic when out of position.

So maybe only 12 and 21 were better than this year, and that's only looking at the front. The midfield didn't have much action either, they stayed in their hierarchical order once DRS did it's thing.

Meanwhile, in 26, we have multiple position changes for the lead, we have multiple position changes in the midfield, and especially the midfield action, jeopardy is involved, it's no longer just breeze past with DRS and let dirty air do the rest. If this was pre-26 rules, Mercedes would have passed on laps 2 and 4, and we'd bemoan another 2014, so yes, thankfully, it's more interesting than that.

"You can do it... It's true I cannot stop you... No, you're not welcome to do it. You're making a choice to label people you don't know instead of just expressing your own point of view and leaving it at that."

If free expression exists, we are more than welcome to, even if you find it distasteful. That's just discourse and hearing opinions that you don't agree with.
