I really, really wanted to enjoy the race. In the end, it wasn't that interesting. I kept getting distracted by other things around me that would've usually gone unnoticed. The new F1 is just not that good. Fuel savings, tire management, poor sound... I'm still planning to go to Montreal again in June to see it in person. But this looks more like a controlled experiment than a racing series.

The one good thing is that the cars do have a lot of power and look harder to control.
The sound is a major let down. Old hands say we will get used to it etc., but I don't know.
That Youtube video comparing the sounds of the cars at the start of the 2013 and 2014 Australian Grand Prix really drives it home.
F1 is not what it used to be. How bad (or good?) a thing that is, time will tell.

....I understand that the alternative drive units F1 uses are the future of cars, and I am not saying to get rid of them... but for the racers sakes, please give the teams at least 110% fuel and let them regulate the usage.
I am just ranting because I am concerned F1 has taken a turn for the worse...

The sound is undeniably terrible, but I really like being able to hear the tires squeal. The reaction from the fans is also pretty cool.
It's not a trade-off I would choose, but at least its something.

Funny to hear Buxton petition Bernie to reposition or add mics, turn up the sound mix, all but hire Jay Z to produce the soundtrack?
