New rules thread (merged again)

[Knowlesy]

So we've had the first race with the new tyre and aero rules. What are your initial impressions?

The first stages were a worry because nobody made a move. It was particularly odd watching Michael and Kimi doing nothing all race.....they seemed overly patient let's say! This was tru of a lot of the field.

But on the other hand, the race unfolded nicely and was very intriguing from start to finish. It livened up towards the end and a lot of moves were made. Alonso drove particularly hard and he'll wonder what might have been.

So overall I'm happy. Whilst the action is less explosive and frantic, the race was attention grabbing from start to finish. There are certainly improvements to be made, but it's a good starting point!

Your thoughts?
