Yep... Max's dominance seems to be a side effect of the new regulations for closer racing, IMO. The new regulations favor Max because he is so consistent and fast while still having a bit of a margin, combined with a now very reliable car, and a good portion of luck as well. I still think it's more interesting to watch than the previous years. Max is, while more consistently in front, still closer to the pack than Hamilton in his dominant years.
I'd also lay a lot of the "problems" of the sport are also due to the attitude of the fans praising the winner in an "all or nothing"-fashion instead of focusing on the battles for 2nd-10th as well. F1 already did try a lot to change this, IMO (DotD, fastest Lap, new Regs, TV-directing)
This. People act as if there is nothing other than the fight for the winner and then completely ignore the brilliant action for all other spots. Yes a season becomes brilliant when there is a compelling fight for the drivers championship but we can have great racing even without a fight for P1
