Returning as an interested F1 fan for the first time since the 1960s, here is a caveat to support my rating. The top three teams, e.g., Mercedes/Ferrari/Red Bull are either so good or so dominate that their finish is pre-ordained unless they beat themselves. So I enjoy following the best of the rest and the mid-pack racing, and pretty much disregard what is going on up front.
Japanese GP is highly rated by the majority of the drivers interviewed, so even if me as a viewer did not find it satisfying, they did. Good on them. They need a race tailored to them.
My F1 fantasy team, Williams-Houston, is made up entirely of mid-packers and back-markers. I have great fun watching them vie for position on their turf.
Cheers. Looking forward to Austin.
