Yeah, the new regs isn't looking extremely promising. Everyone is having to lift and coast into corners to save battery for the lap. There's also some weird oddities like the cars having to sit on the grid just revving the absolute fuck out of the engines to generate battery before the start.
But I suppose we'll have to wait and see how the racing ends up before grabbing the pitchforks

Well if the net result of the new regulations is that verstappen quits for sim racing or wecc and mercedes wins the championship due to another engine loophole then I would call it a failure.
As usual Ferrari looks promising before the season starts....but lets see how the season goes.
Pre season was interesting but with the amount of sandbagging going around it always feels rather pointless to speculate. And also from the teams, we end up in the usual "oh no, not us, team X are clearly ahead".
