Blah. I miss the higher notes of the N/A engines.

When the Ferrari came past, I heard it roll onto the rumble strip. Uhhhhh, that doesn't seem very loud.

Who doesn't. Before, you couldn't mix F1 18,000 rpm with any other motorsport.

Lets hope at least the racing is good!
They traded one thing for another, maybe not...

The cars all look unique which is good. Hopefully we will see a lot more passing and sideways action!

yes, and some drivers say they have less downforce than before, so i think they are going to go sideways more often.

I might actually watch F1 more often then I did last year if that is the case!

Guys, keep in mind that most teams rev their engines below 11k rpm right now. For example Toto Wolf (Mercedes Chief) said his team drives with 10k rpm instead of the 15k they will during racing.
Second Bahrain Test will show us the true sounds of new F1.

I think that's what drew me into F1. I used to ignore it, because they'd never function on a road, but that rev... Hot damn, I want my Seven to sound like that.

They sound a whole lot better than I thought they would. Can't wait till we hear them at full Rev's.

I thought the V10s were going to suck, but they shriked at 20K rpm.

I thought the V8s were going to suck, but they screamed at 18K rpm.

The V6? It makes noise but I can't think of an exciting adjective.

Just wait.

Just wait until Australia and there's a grid full of these things at full song waiting for the lights to go out. (Imagine a grids-worth of Group B singing out loud) Hearing these creations whooshing and chirping and cracking and sneezing and snarling to be let loose. It's going to be Epic. Off-the-chart awesome. And better still, we have no idea who, or what's, going to do well. (Maybe a little bit now we have some testing)

We have McLaren professionally rule-bending, we have drama in the engine bays, we have controversial design. We have controversial rules, we have champions, we have rookies. We have turbos, we have new acronyms to learn, we have F1.
