F1 now only has the first of these left - will not be too much of a spectacle soon.

Maybe as Alan Jones said,now that you can hear the tyres sqeall and see the brakes smoking etc, in the next few months we may forget all about the engine noise, just like we have in the past when they changed engines.
If the races are close we will care less about the engine noise and be happy to see the cars race a lot closer.
One thing that will be of interest is the fuel load,only 100 kg of fuel allowed.
Should make for an interesting start to the season.
Cheers
