Bernie is rightfully concerned about it IMO. I don't think the drivers mind the lower noise but you can read between the lines that they are NOT impressed by the pace. About 5s off per lap at Jerez and just marginally faster than a GP2 car. If both the sound and speed of F1 is gone much of the specialness and allure of F1 goes with it. They need to figure out the speed sooner than later to keep the status where it is. Maybe restrict GP2...
