I agree to a point, but I am concerned this will end up being another 'race for third place' as the season progresses.
McLaren in 1989 still stands as a shining example for me, but any season where one team is so overwhelmingly dominant loses its shine after a while - although the politics and off-track goings-on can keep things interesting.
That said, it was a great race and brilliant to see some proper wheel-to-wheel action - I do hope they keep it that way.
Made up for Malaysia which was one of the dullest races parades I'd seen for some time.
