That video shows overly aggressive drivers, not much else. I've seen that class racing at Snetterton and some of the biggest shunts imaginable that keep the ambulance crews busy. That's not exciting, it's absurd and unsafe.
It's relative speed that's exciting to me whether Formula 1 cars, boats, aircraft or what I used to race, bicycles. And that's the dilema F1 finds itself in. Not only are the cars significantly slower than last year, they sound like tractors and with M-B early season dominance (when they stay glued together), there's too much relative speed difference to cause anything but boredom.
Slower cars aren't progress. Relatively equal, clean competition is, something F1 has to re-learn.
