Just finished watching the race. Quite an entertaining way to spend 45 minutes, the Gen 2 cars looks great, they seem a little quicker and more racy, there's a bit more robust driving going on and (believe it or not) I quite like the strategy play of when to choose to run in attack mode.

J-M Lopez obviously doesn't though!

I think this season will be pretty good.

Additionally, the cars look like they could run on 'traditional' circuits too.

it is my humble opinion that they were being overcautious and wanted uniform track conditions before taking to the track, despite running “road” tyres that are effectively a wet and that aren’t really fit for purpose as a dry tyre anyway.

but hey, it’s their party and they can run it how they like. glad to see everything mostly went without a hitch on the new cars at least.

the coverage was pretty awful loads of drops to 144p
the whole power spike things and overzealous drive-bys and grid drops were a mess,
Stoffel I still dont see why people thought he was any good at anything apart from going backwards,

I watched the BBC stream; HD throughout, no jitter, no buffering, no drop in stream quality.

Vandoorne needs a better understanding of how FE works, in my view. It's a strategist's dream, and if the driver gets that (as we've seen say JEV demonstrate many times) then they're always going to look better than someone on their first race weekend.

I didn't bother with qualifying so I missed all the pre-race penalties. I was however a bit confused with the lack of explanation of the penalties dished out during the race; I know it was surmised that instantaneous peak power output was potentially a problem over the bumps on the main straight but it'd have been useful to have that flashed up on screen.

Still enjoyed it. Still hopeful we'll get it back in the UK at some point, the two weekends we had it at Battersea were great fun.

Racing was good. Much better than last year. The new car is better in basically every way. It looks better at speed than in photos too, so it's not as ugly as I feared. There's a bit of variety provided from the powertrains which were more visible than I expected as well.

There are some quite stupid issues to be dealt with though. The third commentator, with the American accent, was absolutely worthless. He added nothing and was so out of place that he sounded like a soundboard. It was like the old F1 95 game with Murray Walker, where events would trigger pre-recorded sounds. He kept talking over major events that were happening too.

There needs to be more said about penalties. Drive through for random infringements? Can we at least be told what they are?

Oddly, there's too much information in other places. We went to a FCY and the whole screen flashed yellow as the words FULL COURSE YELLOW went over it one by one in a way that felt like I was about have a seizure. Let's reign in the graphics just a little bit!

The Attack Mode wasn't as gimmicky as I thought it'd be. I don't like it, but I suppose it was fine. It's at least a level playing field, as everyone has to use it (unless you're Lopez). I prefer Attack Mode to Fanboost. That seemed unfair that Da Costa gets a free hashtag twitter fanboost whilst leading, whilst the car chasing him doesn't. Why?

No car changes is brilliant. It was ridiculous and had to go, so I'm happy to see that gone. I like the tracks. Yeah they're small and silly, but that's why I like it. I'm bored of watching anything going around Bahrain and Barcelona. This is at least different.

Overall, massive step up.

I tend to agree. Mr Varsha was a fixture, and a good one, when F1 was on the old SPEED channel in the US (from what I've seen, which isn't much) and the Hobbs/Matchett/Varsha triplet made for good TV.

He just doesn't fit into the pairing of Nicholls and Franchitti, who work really well together. If he was in there more frequently rather than just popping up at random he'd probably be less grating.

I was at the Montreal races in season 3 and while interesting the mid-race swap really bugged me so I figured I would revisit it in season 5. Quite enjoyed the race and they seem to going from strength to strength. I may just have to go to NYC to catch the season finale.

Not to defend López, since he made a mistake anyway, but he explained how he hit the wall before going into the attack mode activation zone for the first time and that affected his rear left suspension. He lasted two more laps with issues to turn right (that's how he missed the zone twice) until it finally broke.

Yesterday I saw a few laps. The activation zone was poorly placed. It was too close to the corner, so cars had to brake to reach it. The activation zone should have been put 200 meters later into the straight.

You'd not overcome the disappointment. The cars are still as slow as a Formula Renault 2.0. They're choosing happiness over suffering, I know they are. They're making space for the unknown future to fill up their race weekends with yet-to-come surprises.

I'm trying to see positive things since the manufacturers are giving this to us. This is show at the moment, but there is something to save in my opinion

To be honest, I barely noticed manufacturers were there. If private teams can afford to run these cars then that's fine for me too.

I liked the positioning of the attack mode boost bad super thing. You had to slow down to use it, meaning it was tactical. Unless you're Lopez, then lol.
