Don't give up yet!! I am giving it 10 races at least before I start to lose interest. I have too many years of interest in F1 to give up easily... but I see where you are coming from...

I want Nico to win... so I voted for him. However, chances are the win will go to Hamilton.

The teams can't really do much to improve on performance for the first few fly-aways... so not sure we are going to see much change. Mercedes, Red-Bull, and then who knows. Ferrari, McLaren, Force India, and Williams could all be potential podium finishers... well... 4th place I guess...

Merc were strong in pre season test so I picked Nico.

Hopefully the show is much better than Maylasian snore fest

Merc again. Hammy and Nico on top with the Bulls not far behind. Still looking for a top 10 finish from McLaren's Magnussen and Button.

Every single fan of F1 should seriously consider boycotting this sham that the FIA is calling F1. It should be renamed Green ***** Racing.

As a huge fan of F1 for many many years, I'm quickly losing interest after only 2 races. My plans to go to COTA in November are off the table. Managing fuel loads and burn rates is an exercise in efficiency not flat out racing and doesn't hold my interests. The lack of screaming engines is gone and tire squealing doesn't appeal to me either.

As far as who is going to win, pick a MB car, whichever one is more reliable and stays out of trouble on the first lap will win. Both cars had speed in hand at both races. See RBR the last 4 years for details.... yawn....

Its not bad enough that I will stop watching it but I do miss the engine noise. Just give them the fuel, let them turn up the engines, and that will help with a lot of the complaining.

There is way too much invested now for them to go back to the drawing board.

I think the car will be different next year. The ugly nose will be gone because all they did was raise the danger of a car "submarining" the car it hits. The power unit will only be modified, but not changed drastically. Probably add more downforce and more fuel for next year. That will be it. Honda is working on engines for 2015 so they will not pull the run out from underneath them.
