Fernando Alonso moans about "predictable" F1 which is still "too boring" despite changes

A huge swathe of technical regulation changes came into force this year, forcing teams into a complete redesign of their machines. And one of the major reasons behind that was the feeling that close racing was too difficult, leading to some dull races.

The older cars suffered what F1 described as "catastrophic downforce loss" whenever in the slipstream of another racer. So ground-effect aerodynamics were legalised again, which has led to cars being able to get closer without losing downforce.
