Not sure it's better, but it is different. I seem to remember that after Bahrain last season, when we had a procession of a race, the perceived wisdom was that getting rid of refueling was the biggest mistake ever, and we were in for a complete season of snorefests. Well that wasn't exactly the best prediction ever...!!
So, after four races we wonder if Vettel is unstoppable. An interesting thought, but no way I'll run down to the betting shop and put money on him. Still 14 races to go...
I would, on the other hand, put money on an Adrian Newey car winning the World Championship as long as he is in the sport, and whatever team he is in.
