This seems pretty slow considering the great last race?
Yes, low level of pre-race input so far. That's puzzling on here considering a British Driver is having a good time in a good car. The racing has been both interesting and exciting so far for me. Lack of BBC TV Freeview coverage must certainly play a part here in the UK. I like the new formula. Low down grunt and faster speeds is the thing I really like. Makes a refreshing change from the usual high pitched sameness screams of recent Formulae.
Both Red Bull and Ferrari relatively struggling adds interest. Will they be able to improve and catch up? We shall see.

I'm excited by this season but I am still a bit nervous as to what might happen later. Mind you, even if the battle between the two Mercs hadn't happened, it still would have been exciting for the remaining places.I like the new formula.

I like the relatively loose nature of the cars. They are more of a handful. This is A Good Thing.
I like the way the torque from the leccy motors gives great slides out of slow corners.
I like the way that middle ranking team are now providing entertainment.
I like the way that cars seem to able to run closer to each other for longer.
I think it is a definite improvement.
The noise? I like that too. The old V8's just offered VOLUME and nothing else. I genuinely prefer the new cars to the old .

Fully agree. A lot has been made about the noise these cars make but I like them. They look a real handful to drive on the limit as well. Anyone else notice that Martin Brundell keeps dropping hints to have a go in one. I like the relatively loose nature of the cars. They are more of a handful. This is A Good Thing.

Looking forward to it, even if I will only see the highlights on catchup.
I hope the mercs have another good tussle for P1, and that the mid fielders have a good close race too.
I think the noise is good from these new engines too. the turbo, the tyres, the whole package is good imoa.

Another non-BBC race. Really breaks up the season for me (even though I do try to watch them all utilising various means).
I didn't find it hard to watch the Bahrain race on Sky, without having the inconvenience of actually paying to the Murdochs. The internet is your friend on this......SpeedMattersNot said:
Please tell me someone else saw Maldonado just then. Speechless.
I wanted to laugh but it has been said that sort of thing would happen with so much to do on the steering wheel, ok i did laugh, really loud, totaly forgot to stop turning 
The RB rear wing looks a bit "flexable" ?
