Off season won't feel super different for us but those teams are getting zero off season this year. Can't wait to see the new cars though.

Man I have not been this excited for a season for a long time. Just to see who got their car right and who is really far off. Last time this happened McClaren was horrible for the first two or three years, then finally figured it out. I would love it if like Haas and Williams came in as the top two cars just out of the blue. They won't but it would be so cool.

This is a perfect example of what is fundamentally part of F1 and what I find wildly annoying. It’s basically a competition of being the best at finding regulatory loopholes lol.

Smokey Yunik even though he was a NASCAR guy will forever be the best at this sort of thing. He was a master of the grey area and an absolute genius. Something like 3/4 of the NASCAR rule book is in place because of him. Personally that's what I love about F1 these days is the guys who are pushing the technical envelope. If I wanted to watch a spec series I'd watch more Indycar.

Honestly though, it's only been the last 25 or 30 years that all racing wasn't this way. I mean I get it, but money and safety regulations have kind of dulled the sport for me. (Safety, not because I want people to die, I don't at all, but because of all the regulations now, the cars are all fundamentally identical.)

I miss the days when people would show up with a turbine engine in their car for the Indy 500. Look at F1 in the '70s, Tyrrell shows up with 6 wheels on their car. I know it sucks for the competiveness aspect in F1, but it's probably one of my favorite things about F1. It's the one series where you have to source or build your own engine, build your own car and parts. There isn't a "Race Car Store" you can go to to get stuff like almost every other series now.
