Why do you think there's a growing feeling that F1's going in the wrong direction? Or do you think these criticisms are always there and only intensify when one team becomes particularly dominant?

This would be the best thing for F1 in the long run.
Bernie Ecclestone could step down as F1 chief this week

Good riddance.
Glad the old idiot is now gone.For the better
Nasty crash , think the was banned from racing after that on doctors orders, what struck me was the crowd, where was it ?
So, it looks like Bernie has actually gone! When judging Ecclestone people should remember what he's done for F1, not only on the commercial side but more importantly what he's done to make F1 safer for the drivers. Bernie's probably done more than anyone to make F1 as relatively safe it has become. For that alone Bernie should be remembered fondly.
That would be Sid Watkins, although Bernie no doubt played a part, especially as he was the one who appointed him to make F1 a safer motorsport in the first place.
I have to agree with this 99% was down to Sid , Bernie can have the other 1 %
Bernie has been a cancer on F1 for a while now.
Bernie did a good job overall, but he's outdated now and being in charge for so long gave him too much power.
A fresh new outlook will do the sport good, hopefully they'll bring the excitement back to the series.
Loud exciting engines are a must to bring the wow factor back, they can still continue with a hybrid system but perhaps go back to a v12 turbo instead.

I think Ross Brawn will do well.

I get the feeling it's going to be a more interesting season off-track than on it. Hopefully the Ricciardo vs Verstappen title battle is a) close and b) dramatic.
one less team on the grid this season.

Lewis asked his fans to design a helmet for him:
One of the designs so far:
One of the designs so far:
The Willams FW40.
That Williams is pretty underwhelming... Hopefully it'll look a lot different come the tests. The Red Bull and Mercedes reveals will be exciting, Lewis says the Merc looks like a boat (although he doesn't sound too optimistic about the regulation changes) and the Red Bull is bound to have something interesting that gives it half a second on the field.
I really like those colours
Look at the size of those rear tyres?
Sauber looks great.
The new Renault....I love all things yellow. Shame it won't win much
Just hoping for a real push from Red Bull this year. I cannot stand Hamilton and both Riccardo and Verstappen are great fun in their own ways.
Going to Silverstone this year......Prices are an absolute joke

That's a proper F1 rear end, looking forward to seeing what the big boys have in store.
Ugly car warning:
Surely that shark fin went on about half an hour before the unveiling.

New Merc
Prolly gonna win everything again isn't it.

Not liking the livery on the new Mclaren
The Merc's a beauty, if a bit long. The McLaren looks like a backmarker. Can't make my mind up on the Ferrari:
That McLaren livery is hideous, what were they thinking?
I like the front wings on most of these cars.
Mclaren looks like a Spyker. They were hinting at orange but I don't think this style works.
That McLaren is horrendous, Merc looks nice though.
The fin on the merc is quite small
How have McLaren managed to mess up going back to orange ffs?! Looks like a bloody Marussia.
I was hoping for a Senna style McLaren. That's just awful
Yup, or Spyker.
Shame really because the car itself looks quite nice, bar the infernal nose.
Just noticed those Ferrari sidepod intakes look very different.

The shark fin looks horrible on all bar the Merc so far
