Anyone else here hate the sound of the new F1 engines? :)
I buy into the idea of the hybrid approach and the new Formula at an intellectual level - but darn those engines sound more like WRC than screaming F1...
mild rant over

Re: Anyone else hee hate the sound of the new F1 engines? :)
Yes they sound terrible and I hate the fact that the race is all focused on fuel saving. But I do like the idea of less downforce and you could see the drivers "wrestling" the cars - somewhat reminds me of the 80's...
Interesting season for sure.

Was quite a boring race, from all points of view, inclusive sound.

Re: Anyone else here hate the sound of the new F1 engines? :)
They weren't as bad as I'd feared.
It was fun to see that drivers had their hands full with the cars, looking not nearly as comfortable as usual in previous years. Passing looked more possible. I feel better about this season than many others in the past decade.

Mostly quiet, weren't they. Which has the ugliest nose, some were worse than last years screwdriver noses.
As for developing road technology on the track, they probably spend more designing those front wings than the whole of a road car! Did seem to be more overtaking and, generally, a good to watch race. Shame for Ricciardo but if they don't clamp down on rule stretching now it will never end. |

I really love the growls that you can get from the onboard shots.
And, the infrared shots of the exhaust they had were great !!! |

Totally agree. I don't like the sound and this fuel-saving thing really irritates me...

Re: Anyone else here hate the sound of the new F1 engines? :)
It's the 1st year, there is the tech freeze in effect and bernies whoville noise makers did not happen. And teams are running them no where near the rev limit.
600+HP and incredible torque. I listen to the races with headphones and there are some awesome sounds from the in car shots ( I LOVE that low growl) and outside shots hearing the turbos winding down. Any body catch Lewis's white hot brake rotor shot ?? Incredible stuff boys. |

Re: Anyone else here hate the sound of the new F1 engines? :)
Not sure what will happen after the purchase...... sad to hear Bernie will still have his hand in the till though.
Nothing like the sound of an F1 race..... regardless of engine used. |
