I understand your frustration, and I don’t mean to be dismissive here, we all want closer racing. But there are plenty of racing series with spec cars or more homologation so that competition is ensured between teams. But Formula 1 isn’t just about the drivers vs the drivers, it’s also very much about the teams vs the teams. And often one or two of them nail the regulations better than others.
There are, and have been, competitive seasons. But there’s no guarantee that every season will have real competition for the top spot. Which is why finding enjoyment in the teams’ struggling against the teams near them is key to the sport.
Obviously there are steps taken to keep the teams closer in performance (the formula itself, cost caps, wind tunnel and testing restrictions, etc) but of course we can still end up with situations like this season, where the perfect combination of driver and car runs away with it.
(Though this last season was, of course, historic. Toppling the “most dominant team over a single season” record that had stood since 1988.)
