Not really been following the f1 this year but have it on now and the first thing I noticed was how awful the cars sound, they have really lost that iconic f1 sound

Silly things like fuel efficiency, reliability, environmental impact
id rather them do a carbon ofset program and plant a tree each race and watch a few engines pop haha
That video above reminds me of the dog in the movie grown ups

Having heard an F1 car close up....am I the only one thinking the new cars are an improvement ?
The ear splitting screech from the old cars wasnt exactly very appealing, and the fact spectators need to wear ear defenders...surely that says something too ?
It might be ok for a couple of laps, but I'd dread to think of having to endure that screeching for 2 hours.
On TV the old cars sound loud, and it makes viewing a bit better, but they really were terrible in real life.

The slowest f1 cars are going to be upper gp2 pace, this has always been the case in previous years too!
The cars are faster in a straight line (less downforce, more torque) and slower round corners (less downforce) than before
Some circuits they are almost as quick as before some about 2 seconds slower but race pace is a bit slower, mostly due to managing fuel vs performance, which is just like the old turbo days
Love the sound, love the cars having less grip, the racing has been very good this year.
