Disqualified for breaching fuel flow limits, it passed scrut but fuel flow isn't measured at that point.
I'm quite happy about all of the rule changes, I know the cars are a little slower but I think that the new formant makes it a little more exciting to watch. Driver ability seems to be more of a factor rather than less too, yes there's more electronic aids but the process of using them well and driving looks to be a lot more complicated.
It's also a great step for motorsport as a whole in my opinion, Formula 1 is the main event in the public eye & so many people appose it using the 'environment' as the reason which has a knock on effect on all other forms. This has meant that they see cars doing the same thing just 30%+ more efficiently which can only help.
As for the noise, they are still loud! It's quieter and doesn't sound as good on TV but in the scheme of things its still awesome. I also like the fact you can heard more of the straight cut gearing on the car mounted cameras now along with the boost noises. Things like the hybrid diesel cars in the endurance championships are almost silent (the likes of Audi's R18 e-tron) and only really give you the tyre noise but its still awesome to watch both on TV and in person.
I was really impressed with Magnussen, I'd not really seen anything of him before this. Shame about the break downs but I think that they will be reduced quite quickly, certainly from the Mercedes engines anyway.
The only thing I really hate about F1 at the minute is that I'm still at my parents house and they don't have sky
I wih the BBC still had full coverage.
