That being said it’s true that qualifying is absolutely atrocious now and just not fun to watch

Can you elaborate on this? From replies and discussion elsewhere It’s obviously self-evident to many that you’re right, but I’ve enjoyed qualifying for both races.

    For me watching battery optimization during qualy is just not exciting. In the race I don't mind - it actually seems to add another layer of strategy even. But in qualy we get weird driving like going slowly through corners that would otherwise be a test of grip and skill and feel just so you can charge the battery for more juice on the straights, which results in better overall laptime. Turn 9/10 in Australia for example which has always been an exciting bit of the track is just not a corner anymore with these regs. Stuff like that.
