Although Michael Schumacher had "good fun" in Bahrain, the seven-time F1 World Champion admits it was all rather boring.
Schumi made his return to F1 racing at this weekend's Bahrain GP, starting from seventh place on the grid.
But aside from overtaking Mark Webber at the start to move up to sixth, there were no other major moves on the German's part - or made on him by others.
And that, quite simply, is because "overtaking is basically impossible", as Schumi said summing up F1's biggest problem.
"It's the start and then after it is just sort of go your pace and not do mistakes," he told the BBC.
"Overtaking is basically impossible, other than if somebody makes a mistake - Lewis (Hamilton) had a little one so Nico (Rosberg) was able to pass him, but got back past at the pit stop. That's about it.
"That's the action we are going to have unfortunately with this kind of environment of race strategy.
"But, anyway, it was good fun. Especially the beginning and now we are going to work forward in order to catch up what is in front of us."
And although some were hoping for more from the 41-year-old, the Mercedes GP driver insists he is pleased with his P6.
"I can live very well with sixth position and it gives both me and the team a good base to make progress. I have every confidence that we will improve the car," he said.
"Working with the team for our first race together was very positive and the guys did a great job so I would like to thank them for their support in my comeback race.
"We all know that we have some way to go but we will get there. The season is long."
