Always remember that the biggest race in Australia is a handicap event and no-one would have it any other way...

Doesn't mean F1 has to stoop to that level.

These are the best drivers in the world, in the best cars in the world, but the majority of the grid are unable to showcase their skills because of minimal differences in car performance.

That's how grand prix racing has always been, and always should be. If the backmarker teams don't like it, they hound sponsors for more money and design a better car.

Handicapping is a gimmick. It's a stupid way to artificially level out the competition for those who don't deserve it.
When you rely on measures like that you don't end up with a sport, you end up with a joke.
