F1's new cars - have they made racing better?
The new cars were designed to increase action during races
GPFans Staff
F1 has returned with a bang for its new era as enthralling racing has been delivered in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia.
Max Verstappen and Charles Leclerc have each taken a victory after outduelling the other in frantic side-by-side spells of racing.
Further down the grid, the Alpine drivers gave us a taste of what can be expected throughout the pack with a great battle in the opening stages in Jeddah as Valtteri Bottas and Kevin Magnussen also got involved.
So after two races, GPFans wants to hear from you. Have F1's regulation changes made racing better?
