with these new cars-fast in the corners-you cant overtake as only one line thu-not fast on the straight-cant get close enough to overtake.
Makes no difference... they are all roughly in the same boat and to counter your arguement slower top speed cars tend to bring out more racier conditions and outlandish top speed cars tend to bring out time trial like situations. The slower a car is on a straight means the longer he is on it for and a greater amount of time on said straight to then take advantage of.
Of course none of this is relevant as 2017 cars will be quicker both thro the corners and in straight line speeds. so your arguement is pointless IMO. The best news for this year should hopefully be the bigger and less sensitive tyres meaning drivers can push harder for longer , rather than driving with the limits of the tyre to maintain temps and reduce wear like we have seen previously
With Delboy on this. I was pi44= off hearing 'slow down, conserve tyres'.
The biggest improvement for this year has to be the tyres.
As for overtaking....let's wait and see.
Happy new F1

Such a lovely man. We have lost a true great motorsport legend. RIP John. #JohnSurtees
Damon Hill sums it up well.
RIP. John.
WC on two wheels and four.
Even in the Schumacher days, overtaking was still happening.
There's still the DRS to compensate for the straights. The key thing is now we have durable tyres, that is something the sport has lacked for ages.
The great thing about the new era is that the cream will rise to the top and the racers will benefit immensely from the new regaulations.
I still expect to see overtaking from Hamilton, Ricciardo and Verstappen.
I think the return of in-race refuelling will spice things up a bit.
The weight differences at various points will make overtaking easier and there's a huge strategy element that will make things more interesting too.
Wonder who will supply McLaren engines next as the Honda engine is a bust.
Mercedes and Ferrari won't supply them so it will have to be Renault
Apparently McLaren are guaranteed an engine supply from one of the other manufacturers if they dump Honda as there is a rule which ensures it, it could literally be a matter of names in a hat and whoever is picked must supply them.
I can't see this being the case though as Honda and mclaren have a complicated financial arrangement which added to the lack of a main sponsor would leave the McLaren team in a bad situation with their finances.
As for the prospects for overtaking, nobody knows until we see how the cars react aerodynamically to following each other. Fingers crossed that there is more.
I'm confident that now Ross Brawn has a big input on the future direction of F1 that things will improve over the next few years, we can already see the difference the new owners are making.
McLaren need to review their exclusivity agreement with Honda and let them supply other teams too.
The issues they are facing are because they only supply one team and cannot get another perspective,

Who would want a Honda engine though based on how it's been performing for McLaren.
Sauber would prefer new Honda engine than year old Ferrari engine, which can barely be developed.
Honda can't be any worse than it currently is (will only get better).
There's been talk about Sauber using Honda engine next year...
Provided Mclaren stay (strong) with Honda, Sauber becoming a customer is a very real possibility.
Which would make sense, Sauber do not have enough resources to challenge Mclaren (chassis) so I'm sure the latter wouldn't mind.
Sauber are seemingly cutting ties with Ferrari at the end of season (by not extending contract).
However...If McLaren go back to Mercedes, then Sauber are screwed.
