It's a shame that when we actually started getting some good battles between teams, we had a rule change an ended with a different team dominating... even more than the previous one.
Yeah. It is kind of a double-edged sword. The changes led to closer racing during races, but seasons with little rule changes lead to better championship battles. Hopefully it won't take 7 years for others to catch up so we get a 2021-like season again, but this time with even better on-track racing.
Honestly it wasn't the 2022 rule changes that did it, it was TD39 midway through last year that enforced a specific solution to porpoising. They should have added/used a sensor to measure the amount of porpoising, and simply require that it be within some limit. If you can come up with a different solution, that's fine. If you can't, then you must raise the height to comply. Requiring everyone to raise the height really hurt Ferrari. Early 2022 had all the makings of classic season.
