So, yes, far from predictable.
I think you may be missing the point.

MotoGP is racing where overtakes are by skill and daring and not by mechanical or electrical aids.

The winner is not as predictable as Hamilton 70% Vettel 25% rest 5%

Formula1 is Playstation by comparison.

There are four engine manufacturers in the mix (Honda, Yamaha, Ducatti and Suzuki) with other up and coming.

Yes I know, Col. I'm just messing about. I'm also aware of F1 shortcomings.

I think Lewis summed it up quite well yesterday when he criticised the proposed reduction in the number of engines/per season. What made his race in Brazil so impressive was a new engine. One that he could drive flat out for the duration. If F1 drivers were allowed to race instead of spending most of the race in preservation mode then it would be a whole lot more like Moto.
