> there are no fights to watch at the top

Were we watching the same race? The last 11 laps were an epic battle between Rosberg and Hamilton, and the mob contending for points was no less thrilling. I thought it was a great race, at least at the end.

And have you already forgotten 2013? Red Bull won every single race in the second half of the season. Yeah, Mercedes is on top, for now, it's not like a constructor has never been dominant before.

Please read my entire comment:

> (It's true that the Hamilton-Rosberg fight in Bahrain was also fun to watch)

My point is: this year looks like the last years' championships with RBR... same dog, different collar.

Not exactly. Webber vs Vettel wasn't really close. Rosberg and Hamilton will be a lot closer.

Is it though? We haven't even arrived in Monaco yet, anything could happen and the drama has been amazing to watch so far. Take tonight for example... Vetel being instructed to let Ricciardo pass and complying, Force India going 3/5, Hamilton and Rosberg dueling, Massa(??) blitzing the field on the start. The president of Ferrari walking out in disgust. That horrendous flip...

This doesn't even get into new arrivals like Magnussen and his amazing debut. This season is far from over and getting more interesting by the day.

We need to wait until we get to Europe, that's when the new parts will start arriving and the other teams have a chance to catch up. Development is going to be key this year.

Sorry. Pretty late night where I am, and a couple too many bottles of, uh, "rose water".

Anyway my point was - the lack of a real fight doesn't have much to do with the rule change, since it was present last year as well. And anyway, the season's just beginning - let's see what happens.

I don't think RB was nowhere near where Mercedes is this year. They are unbeatable like Brawn GP was on 2008. Others wont catch them this year. But otherwise very interesting season.
