Back then they still had fuel constraints, boost contraints, similar sized engines. They can sort out the terrible ugly noses I think for next season but the power units are here to stay. It's 2014, super high revving naturally aspirated engines are basically irrelevant, naturally aspirated is slowly becoming irrelevant for modern road cars. Most supercars these days have turbochargers and whatnot on them, the cutting edge ones (e.g La Ferrari, 918, P1) are hybrids the same because it does have advantages. We have a limited amount of oil in the world. They merely reflect the computer age, high tech hybrid and electric systems more and more prevalent. |

They squirm about a lot more that's for sure. They seem very difficult to drive at the moment. Downforce is often the bane of good racing, the less there is of that and the more power the better for the racing. I was sort of hoping for a wet race, maybe one soon |

don't like the sound of the engine, they sound like Scalextric slot cars.

Maybe they just need to be louder then. Maybe it's also a shock for people that hadn't heard them before this weekend? I followed it for a long time and heard the engines middle of last year and the testing so used to it now

I like the sound of them, especially when slowing down for corners

Yes. But I have always followed F1, I liked F1 before I liked anything else it's kind of my first sporting love. I distinctly remember watching Mansell destroy everyone in 1992 and then race my F1 toys around the carpet after at about 6 years old Two Williams Renault F1 cars, the proper transporter truck that they could actually load in the back. Also a Mansell branded Formula Tyco set aka cheapo scalextric with broken cars because they usually flew off the track at incredible speeds into furniture with their wings and bits of shredded plastic exploding everywhere. Happy days. |
