"It would be premature to say that's how future races will pan out," Red Bull director Christian Horner told reporters at Albert Park ahead of the Australian Grand Prix.
"I think we saw more action in the first (practice) session this morning than probably the whole weekend in Bahrain and I just have a feeling that there's gonna be quite a lot going on this weekend's race." New rules, including a ban on refueling, were blamed for a dull spectacle at Sakhir, where drivers had difficulty overtaking and the race was effectively decided at qualifying.
Some team bosses had called for the rules to be changed or tweaked, with several saying a second mandatory pitstop would help breathe life into races by discouraging drivers from playing safe for championship points.
Team bosses have held out hope that Melbourne's bumpy street circuit that grows progressively slicker over the course of a weekend will provide a better show.
"I wouldn't advocate any urgent measure, because maybe we'll have a fantastic race here and then suddenly this potential issue will disappear," Ferrari boss Stefano Domenicali said.
Another processional race in Melbourne would force the team bosses back to the whiteboard, however - a point Martin Whitmarsh made clear.
"I think most of us would say that we were disappointed by the spectacle that was created by the race in Bahrain, but we've got to be careful we don't jump into decisions on the basis of one race," the McLaren chief said.
"We're aware that we've got to watch this very closely, we've agreed to meet again in Malaysia after we've had two races and I'm sure we'll talk openly about what the options are, whether we need to do anything and if so, what we need to do."
