Autosport was less than impressed with Ecclestones "farce" comments on engine sound since he hadn't actually been present in Jerez

BTW, the 4th and 5th gear comment from Hamilton collaborates my previous comment on why it's better to be at lower rpm's and in a higher gear out of corners when you have loads of torque. In a higher gear, you have less torque multiplication and hence less torque at the rear wheels. Meaning a better chance for the driver to be in control over traction. As one of the links above reports, we will see much more sideways action this year. Both because of torque but also because of less downforce and tricky tire temperature control.
