I don’t necessarily agree with the perspective that Redbull dominating is bad for the health of the sport.

Sure, lack of competition for 1st may drive away some fans. But if the conditions that allowed Redbull to become dominant (i.e., engineering/design freedom) didn’t exist then F1 would no longer be F1. That design freedom attracts many fans, and is what enables all the recent excitement down-grid.

I think few people would care if everyone had equal cars, yet one team was able to consistently dominate due to driver talent. The opposite should also be true if one team is able to dominate due to engineering talent (granted there is more to RBs success than only engineering).
