It feels a bit more like Formula E on steroids.

Energy management leads to amazing racing in FE and negates much of the dirty air driven boring processional races.

The first few races will likely be a bit chaotic but once the teams get on top of it all, the most talented drivers will be able to get ahead of less smart drivers in better cars.

    I also think that what the drivers are experiencing at the moment is due to the teams having built their cars and started driving very close to the regulations. They havent really experimented with energy management yet. It's clear that drivers like Fernando, Lewis and Max dislike driving slow in the corners. So their teams will need to find ways to become faster in the corners and recharge the battery elsewhere, if they want their drivers to enjoy racing.
