It's a matter of opinion I guess. I've never found Formula One to be boring, not generally anyway.
Some races do become high speed parade laps with very little change from qualifying order.
Even those races have a semblance of intrigue in Q2-Q3.
The V6 Turbo-Hybrid era despite its black politic machinations has and does reflect the design and engineering of the times. You can argue all day about the ambiance and visceral appeal of the V8-V10 mega RPM power plants but that technology was no more sustainable than the raw turbo era that preceded it.
Curious that in the end the Hybrid era results in two important details that may be overlooked by the casual observer. A reduced fuel load due to hybrid efficiency and fair kick in butt from the battery/capacitor off the corner.
All this on perhaps 60% of the fuel that was used 8-10 years ago.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I do find the Barge Board brickabrack distracting, ugly, difficult to regulate and , well, ugly. I don't foresee a departure from the multi-element front wings but I can hope. I understand this next "formula" will revisit a bit of the under body aerodynamics that was legislated out of the sport decades ago. It also is reported that at least some sense has been applied as well, there will be no "skirts". Engine wise it has been rumored that dumping stored electrical energy onto the turbo shaft is a serious possibility. For those of you not acquainted with the formula and rules , Formula One does not allow spinning up the turbo electrically.
Something very like this resides in each of the engines of Formula One in some configuration.

For now the three phase generator is one way. At peak levels it charges a capacitor bank. At nominal levels it charges the battery directly. Peak discharge is from the capacitor, and nominal discharge directly from the battery. World endurance racing allows voltage/current to be applied to the turbo shaft on acceleration. The resulting near elimination of turbo lag and not incidental ability to use a larger compressor without stalling the intake makes for "pretty damn zippy" throttle response. Then on the upper end it means grabbing a bunch of the shaft energy to charge the battery and to act as a boost control. If you are "harvesting" at the end of a straight you're not over boosting.
What we are anticipating is better medium to high speed aero without a dirty wake.
An even more compact, more efficient and "pretty damn zippy" right off the bottom power unit.
A continuing advancement in designed degradation of tires.
Continuing advances in track and vehicle safety. (Romain Grosjean)
My hope is that Formula One continues to encourage technological advancement, attempt to maintain a level playing field, and continue to work on track safety.
Had enough ?
