Hold on, are all of these things sudden changes that have never happened before?
Fuel saving happened throughout the 80s and into the early 90s.
Tyre management was only not a consideration when Ferrari levered Bridgestone into tyres that could be pushed hard for an entire stint. 2005 is an exception here.
Team orders have *always* been around, apart from the few years in the 00s when they were 'banned'.
In fact, all of these things were a regular part of racing in the 80s, and i don't think I'm alone in saying that some of the sport's most exciting battles took place in that decade.
Without poor tyre management, the 86 season finale would have been pretty dull.
Without mistakes in fuel calculations, we wouldn't have seen images like Prost crawling over the line at Imola, or Mansell oh-so-dramatically failing to push his Lotus over the line.
Without team orders, we... well, I can't say I'm too much of a fan of them either, but they still make for gripping events. What about Suzuka '97, and Irvine's awesome pass on the two Williams cars.
I suppose the point I'm making is that none of these things are new to F1, and they are actually responsible for a lot of the sport's defining moments. Having sat through the processional F1 of the late 90s and early 00s, I'm glad we have races like yesterday's.
