people pay to see Red Bull lose = F1 wins. ala mayweather lang yan po

let everyone jump on the hate wagon and F1 will be fine. Just like any sport needs moolah to run its operations then i see F1 no different. Whoever the cash cow is king, they can manipulate things to a certain point. Fans? then hell no one's on rb. Finances?

how about comparing the f1 1980s turbo cars with no fuel limit vs the f1 2014 hybrid engine technology

not much of a difference in terms of noise quality

but the amount of tech evolution they crammed between those carbons, soon it will end up on our roads

True true... Soon FIA's hybrid tech will be adapted by road car makers since it's new and revolutionary.

Oh look Prius just went by! Bloody hell that's FIA's tech. :hysterical:

Agree with the statement that F1 is testing ground for new technologies which could subsequently benefit road cars and us consumers. But the current turbo engines still sound sucky. Hehe

Red Bull's fuel flow problems continue in Malaysia

The Times newspaper reports that, after Daniel Ricciardo's disqualification in Melbourne, Red Bull spent over $130,000 on five brand new FIA-mandated Gill sensors for the Sepang race.

"We are not taking any chances and we have gone out independently and bought sensors so we know that we will have at least one that works properly," a team source said.

And correspondent Michael Schmidt said the similarly Renault-powered sister team Toro Rosso also had problems getting a signal from the sensors.

A new sensor - costing $26,000 at full calibration - was fitted to Ricciardo's car for second practice.

"So much for saving money," Red Bull's Dr Helmut Marko bluntly observed.

FIA is hell bent in cutting cost indeed.

Now watching their practice at Star Sports. Potek ang gara ng tunog! Parang ipit yun tunog niya at wala na yun distinctive sound ng mga F1 engines ng 90's. Deym, parang kotse lang na kumakarera sa Subic.
