This has been the case for years, though.
And just as Red Bull were figuring them out, Fi / FIA / Pirelli go changing them (as of Silverstone this year). And guess which team got a boost from that? If you said Mercedes, you'd be correct.

Too many rules, not enough racing.

When there is a good tussle, it's fun though. Check out the Sochi Lap 10 fight between Leclerc and Vettel. Doubt it will embed here, but if you are on facebook follow the link. It's only a brief clip on the Aston Martin Racing fb page, but it is well edited to show in-car footage of some great corners. Strangely, it didn't result in a pileup on the gravel, either!
