Spoiler alert

The cars sound really weird

I'm beginning to like it ... I don't like that.

You've heard enough cars on track to start warming up to them? All I've been watching is the paddock, briefly interrupted every once in a while by a car.

I like it, the cars sound like Le Mans Prototypes. Not a V12, but it got a nice noise.

They've been running on the track pretty consistently for the last 30 min. Where are you watching?

It's interesting. The turbine noise is discernible and it's neat to be able to hear the tires screech when they lock up under braking.

The Sky stream I'm watching just did an on-board run with Jenson on a flying lap (and the commentators kept quiet for it). The turbine (and/or gearbox whine?) noise under braking is wicked.

Exactly. The engine has a nice noise, but it's too quiet. We should not be able to hear tires, we should hear turbo V6 glory.

I'm just sitting here making jokes that the cars aren't that loud.
