Yeah, I've tried telling people in the flesh the hybrids don't sound so bad. The Merc has this lovely clean note when accelerating. Heard it best when in Hungary.

Compare the first season of hybrids with now and the sound quality has come on leaps and bounds. First gen sounded like hairdryer wrapped in a pillow.

That said, when at F1 events the lower formula cars sound so much louder and more exciting on track. It's almost an anti climax when the F1 cars are on circuit.
