Are you telling me that the second video is what every car will sound like this season?
And be that slow?
The regulations may make it more competitive, and that is obviously welcome. But damn.
Hello Sunhi
to be fair, this lap by Button (http://www.dailymotion.com/video/k5ZCyWB9k2CMIm606Ef) sounds a lot better.
Maybe its just the renaults that sound bad. (yep: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/k51Z8gOYDou0BJ607MV)
Still. Nothing close to what we once had.

Missed your work, good to see you around again! And great KK gif too.

Giantbomb's new F1 podcast with Drew and Danny brought me for a casual interest in this season. See sunhi is here so I;m already doing better than I was a few moments ago.
Must see what I can watch here in Ireland.

Woah, nice lap from Danny Ric!
??
Not seeing that so far. I think Rosberg is showing that the Mercedes has a nice time gap to the RBR with Vettel only able to get within 0.6 of his time compared to Riccardio 0.8s.
Lets see what Hamilton does when he switches to soft tyre.

Force india chairman dropping truth facts.
What was he saying?
Yep, VJ not impressed with the sound. I am glad I got to see the V10's live a few times. I hope dan gets a good run during the race.
He said the sound of F1 is dead, we need to bring the sound back.

The camera was on him as he was on the pit wall watching cars fly by, he turns around, removes his headphones (car drives past), and declares that "the sound of the cars is shit". Shaking his head with a look of disappointment/sadness. "This is not F1. Fuck you Bernie".

I went to my first ever GP at the inaugural US GP in Austin 2 years ago. It was such an awesome experience, but being new to this sort of thing, I didn't plan it out so well. By the time I tried to get hotels, just about everything was sold out. My dad, brother, and I had to stay in two different hotels for our two nights there. Both were on the outskirts of Austin, and both were charging obscene rent. Then we had to drive to one of the bus pickup stops downtown, and walk nearly a mile to the track from the bus drop off. At my dad's age this definitely wasn't ideal. The event itself left a great impression on me, however, and I'd like to go back this year
But I want to do it right this time. I'm looking for advice from any experienced GP goers out there. Is it better to find some sort of package deal with tickets/hotel? Is it worth buying the weekend parking pass? Since my dad is handicapped, is there some sort of handicap parking that we could take advantage of? Does anyone recommend some quality hotels? I just want to have the best experience possible this time, and not worry about all this extraneous stuff once I'm there.

"The sound of F1" is a ridiculous statement. F1 has had many sounds in its many incarnations, this is just the latest.
Personally I find the opportunity to hear the tyres squealing far more appealing than the engines being obnoxiously loud.
That's been the biggest thing to come from the engine changes, IMO. It honestly can't be understated just how quiet the cars are now. Literally did not need to use my earplugs once during either session today, and when we bailed early from FP2, could barely hear them at all when waiting for a shuttle tram back to the train station.
It's really, really weird. I'm curious about whether it'll affect broadcasts.
On the bright side, my little mini stereo voice recorder thing was able to record everything without clipping. So if there's any demand for some sounds from where I was sitting, I'll be more than happy to upload the MP3s. They came out better than I thought. But no way could I have done the same thing last year, far too loud.
But to answer your question, yeah, my brother and I both thought it took away from the atmosphere. At least it was easier to hear whatever commentary they had streaming via the F1 app
