Agree with you racechick, and when Horner asked about the engines at the party and everyone booed I stayed silent. The noise didnt affect my weekend one bit, they were still loud, just not as loud as before. I still had to put my headphones on to hear the commentary - although I wish I hadn't bothered during the race, the commentators didnt know the rules and must have kept wondering why Alonso didnt immediately stop for his penalty for about 10 laps
Other than that it was a great weekend, its just a shame we cant have BBC/SKY commentary instead of people who dont know what they're talking about.
Yes the GP2 cars are louder, but I didn't find the F 1 car noise unacceptable at all, different, but not unacceptable, it was great to hear the crowd noise from all round the track, like when Nico retired, the place erupted. you can't normally here that. The cars sound more throaty, less screams. I thought the Sauber sounded a bit worse than the others, I noticed that a couple of times on Saturday, it sounded sort of dull. To be honest I forgot about the noise in the excitement of the race action.
