Definitely agree....and as a benefit I thought the racing was great....the new regs seemed to help drivers with the good car control.
The side by side in car of Ricciardo and Vettel during qualifying was very interesting....DR seemed to have a soft touch and got the best out of the car while SV seemed to be overdriving it. Maybe a lack of miles in a red bull with so much less aero grip and in the wet put him at a disadvantage. Though it has to be said my 2014 fav Kevin did a masterful job for his first visit to Aus in an F1 car.
If only they could figure a quick fix for the engine sound!
