People criticizing Newey for the tight packaging due to high cooling requirement of the new PU. Well there's your solution, wilts retaining the very tight packaging.

i'm growing fond of the electric, low grumble noise of turbo v6 engine. and it'll get sweeter as it goes through the stages of development

f1 'ol high pitch noise, you shall surely be missed

and almost no turbo lag? the pinnacle of engine tech

i am stoked for race day

High pitched motors always sounded like crap, to me. I enjoy listening to cars rev, but the screaming V10s and V8s were physically painful to listen to.

Give me torque, baby. Lots of fricking torque and lots of drivers spinning... hahaha... I think I'll enjoy this season.

**ClaNker** · March 15th, 2014 08:54 AM

Enjoy the low grumble noise of the engine this season folks because FIA is going to address that next season and make it louder. And the nose, and the fuel limit, and the rev limit.

Watched practice and I feel that something was missing. The screaming engines on the limit now had a low-toned grunt. Dunno but I reckon breakneck speed is best indicated by engines wailing.
