haha sorry tmiing just worked out right!

Besides, I gotta see it live at least once with the real engines before the BS 1.5 V6s come in next year.

Just listen to this, the scream is gone! How depressing

Sorry, real F1 engines are V10s and V12s and Turbo V6s...

Everything else doesn't sound right.

So the current V8s aren't real F1 engines?

I never cared for them.

Also don't like how they've forced the revs to be lower.

I still prefer the Ferrari v12 from '92 and the Honda 1.65L V6 Turbo in the McLaren as my favorite F1 engines.

I'm glad I saw them at Austin last year and even more awesome seeing Hamilton won. Though I did wish Vettel won the championship there.

Another old school F1 fan here i see. Thanks to Mansell i liked the Honda V6's, and i kinda lost interest in F1 after the turbo era was over
My collection of Autocourse's from that era. Awesome photography & articles.
I missed 92-93 & 93-94 'coz i was in Uni & flat broke, but pulled the money together for the 94-95 for obvious reasons, the sad end of an era...

Plus engines are too reliable now. When was the last time (other than a Cosworth) that a motor went kaboom? Bring back the ticking time bombs.

Get the FIA to change the rules about the limited amount of engines each driver can have, allow for unlimited in season testing, allow for qualifying with different engines/cars, etc. Get them to bring back the old rules. I believe in you Jansen!

No argument here! Just going to suck listening to those new engines. Maybe I'll just watch the races with the vacuum cleaner turned on from now on

So heres our seats at the top of the top of turn 2, from here we can see the start/finish/DRS zone, pit exit and all the way down to turn 6,



from exactly where I'll be
