Obviously F1 is still the pinnacle of motorsport, simply because, as Kevan has said, there is nothing else that can even come close to challenging it at the moment.

The new regulations are supposedly the biggest change ever in F1, so I would expect various things to be altered, perhaps this season, certainly next.

However, F1 had two main aims with the new rules. To attract major manufacturers, and to have more overtaking. They have achieved both, so although the older purists might scoff, F1 will simply point to Ford, Audi and Cadillac, along with a younger generation of fans who are reportedly enjoying the racing.

Personally, I expect to see some elements of the rules tweaked in the near future, namely the things that can be changed through software modifications rather than engine redesigns. That would presumably include most of the electrical harvesting and deployment, and will no doubt be aimed at fixing the nonsensical situation of cars driving more slowly around the corners and such like.

The things that I do think are positive are the smaller, more nimble cars, and the move away from ground effect cars.

The rest I'll reserve judgement on, it's certainly too early to call, after just two races.
