to a little hot water for the four letter word he used to describe the noise the cars now emit.
Throughout the history of Formula One the wall of sound which shakes you in your seat by the race track as the cars pass has been a large part of the enjoyment for many, it adds to the feeling that these thoroughbred race cars are fast and powerful beasts.
And now, no matter how fast they may now go, some say without that signature sound it makes them appear slower.
So what do fans here in China think about it?
"I think the sound is better than last year I think the sound for this year is quite well than before. I think this kind of change is very good for the environment and the watcher."
"It's too loud! And I'm not so used to it but it's fine; it's pretty good.
It's very very loud, the noise is very very loud the race. It's like last year just the same I think, because I came last year and I think the noise also the same. I can't feel the difference, I can't tell the difference."
"I think it should be quieter maybe! You said that other people thought it's not loud enough because they can't enjoy the sound here, but for people who just want to go here to enjoy the race the sound is quite noisy right now."
Defenders of the new regulations say a change was needed to make the development of Formula One cars more relevant to the development of normal road cars.
Manufacturer Mercedes even said they may have pulled out of the Formula One if the antiquated technology remained.
Bernie Eccleston has asked teams to look for a way to make the new engines noisier but no moves have been made in that direction yet, so for now fans in China and elsewhere in the world, will just have to get used to watching F1 without earplugs.
