It's just wrong to have to have a 2 second advantage to effect a pass and 1 sec seems about the right amount to me. It means that the more aggressive drivers are more likely to be able to excel.

1 second is just as wrong as 2 seconds in required advantage to be able to overtake.

Given that top F1 cars are within a few tenths of each other the only thing that will improve is that the top teams will have less problems overtaking the lesser cars, but they will struggle to pass each other in normal conditions.

I would say that these 3 guys only worked in a direction that will give their teams an advantage over the slower cars, but will not endanger their own teams competitiveness.
