Louder is not better!! It really irritates me when Bernie starts talking these days, F1 is so much better that that, Tamara Ecclestone, please put your Dad in a home!

Something I was dissappointed by was the lack of on screen graphics, I was looking forward to seeing what these engines revved to for starters.... 12,000..... 13,000 I've still got no idea (sure they won't use 15,000 as the power will tail off due to 100kg/hr limit). Also surely the FIA now has the data to show (on their on board shots) ERS power, Fuel left, fuel flow, DRS active, etc. Here's hoping to see this soon, last year the FIA had most of it already so what's the problem now?
I didn't notice the lack of graphics, but now you mention it they should really be displaying all sorts of information - energy stored, recovery rate, usage rate, fuel flow etc etc. That would be 'quite interesting'.
