Any change is good!

I think the most impressive thing was engine life. With the exception of BAR (and woefully, on new engines too) everyone made it through both rounds on a single engine. Extremely impressive.

Yeah I know...

I never winge or cry. I love F1 no matter who wins!

Renault, Ferrari, Toyota, Williams...

I am biased in my opinion (towards BMW you nuts) but I love to see a mixture of good racing.

I dont like it when the Aussie gets wiped out though

Okay, it's a bit old now I know. But here is a crappy clip from lap 1 of the Melbourne GP (approx 11.5mb):

That Merc was nuts! One of my favourite part of the Melbourne GP is watching the Pace car drifting through the corners... This years BMW M6 pace car was awesome!

They also had an M5 and a number of 5 series for the doctors etc.

The Mercedes C55 Estate at the end then is nuts too...
