Thread: Chinese F1 GP

I could not believe how dirty the straight was looked like a recycled tyre yard…

SV is a joke

Was shocking. Never seen it that bad before.

Yep the straight was pretty ****ty. This race also showed how far ahead the merc engine is Ferrari and Renault have some work to do with very limited testing time available it won't be easy.And well done to Hamilton not being smart but with a car that much better than the rest one of us could have won it.

I know we covered it in a earlier thread but these cars make a stupid noise bring back the sreaming V8s,V10s,V12s and while i am still whining i still find this whole economy focus absolute **** outright speed is what it's about. If economy is important why not use a diesel V8 Audi at Le mans have built some stunning fast and polar bear friendly engines. The cars now are a full second slower than last years mixed with a pathetic exhaust note it seems we have gone backwards.



Nearly finished whining i miss the old days when you had a good spread of constructors Ford,Honda,Toyota,BMW, not much choice now, but i will keep watching it.

perhaps with the growing prevalence of hybrids we'll see an electric F1... then they can add a hi-fi system for the exhaust and you can have the noise from whatever virtual engine configuration you choose MB seem to be taking it seriously with the hybrid pack in the new SL sports model... probably not a matter of If but rather When...

Brundell mentioned talk of exhaust changes to make the cars louder, yeah cherry bombs/subi drainpipes.
Good race by dan, more to come.

Problem is, it would be a company like BOSE that did the sound system and they would still sound like crap

So we can look forward to a loud crap noise It's not so much the volume that's the problem it's the engine.

But they had turbos in the 80-90's, I was too young but maybe if they get back to near that people might be happier. Diesels are Le Mans territory, not F1. either way Ricardo is doing well, I am happy.
