It's just not as easy to swap places five times a lap, when your vehicle is five feet wide, as opposed to eighteen inches of bike.

However, the new regulations this year have produced much more exciting racing, with lots of overtaking, and a more level playing field.

I too would like to see technology removed so that driver skills counted more towards the outcome. But, in the end, it's the driver that matters. Schumacher for one is good for half a second per lap in any car. That's why his team mates have beaten him only on very rare occasions.
