So far we've had one average race (Melbourne), one terrible race (Malaysia) and one cracker (Bahrain). Sounds like the usual start-of-season inconsistency to me. I don't think we'll really be able to tell how the rules have affected things until Europe.
Bahrain has been decent for the last couple of years so it isn't really a surprise it was a great race today. Malaysia was one of the worst GPs I've ever seen and hopefully, now that everyone has a bit more confidence we'll see more races like today. However, if we have more Malaysia-esque races then the sport really won't be living up to its potential as a spectacle.
