Works now, thanks.

Actually I do like the sound, especially the whistling of the turbo.

It's indifferent for me. Some cars are good visually speaking, some are not but I'm not losing anything anyways, I'll watch the races like I always do and that's it. Can't say the same about F1 as a product though, If there is any project of attracting new generations of fans and renewing its basis, F1 is the only left to lose...If you want popularity, you'll have to work aesthetics, there's no runaway. While this doesn't happen, F1 is still for diehard fans like us.

Regarding the sound, it sounds really good, it feels much better than the crying babes V10. The new turbos do sound like 80's again, not exactly the same sound, but its a similar frequency.

I do like the sound of those engines, no doubt they will sound better at full speed as well.

Thanks for sharing the footage Toto.

The sound is great. The fact that all cars are visually different is great. Preferable if they had different characteristics, but still. The Merc is a great looking car, and the Caterham is very striking. This day have made me look forward to this season a lot more.

F1 is the elite motorsport, therefore fans are elitist. It's never good for these fine people.

Also, remember when teams used to hide themselves during GP weekends behind those panels?

Yeah. And then Bernie told them to stop doing it so we could see the cars.

I like the low pitch sound and how they gargle and hiss at times. V8s were ok, but they were short from menacing the V10s and V12s.

Seeing the cars in motion really makes those dildo nosed Toro Rossos and Force Indias look stupid, even Ferrari's design looks silly from some angles. But what seems to be easy for the eyes is Mercedes and surprisingly Caterham. Yes, I think it's so weird that it actually stands out in a good way. They didn't try to do a compromise with last year's design and new rules with finger/penis/dildo design. They went with full mental with their design. Or full retard, depends on how their performance turns out to be. With Force India and Toro Rosso you take a look and shake your head, but with Caterham you just keep staring like the elephant man or something that is out from this world.

Cars sounds quite good to me.

Shame most aren't that pretty. Atleast Force India and Red Bull has tried to hide the gentleman sausage

To early to judge the sound of the cars have to wait until they get up to speed the clips on ytube are mostly instilation laps.

They sound good, but they're just not loud.

I stood by the pit exit when Gutierrez went past and it was nice, but not OH MY GOD MY EARS loud.
