That just ain't right.

I think we'll get used to them sounding like lawnmowers. It doesn't matter so much on tv, but it was a bit strange being near the track and not hearing the million killer bee buzz.

I'm fine with it, but I'm not a huge racing fan anyways so meh. I like it when sports move forward, look on the past fondly and move the fuck on. I'm tired of people talking about fighting in hockey or helmets or whatever bullshit. Let something have it's day and then move on.

This sort of holding onto crap is what ruins television when you're into the 7th season of 30 Rock and it's blowing ass. Get something, enjoy it and when it's time to move on GET OVER IT.

I'm with @Yogi.
Not a fan of F1 (or any sport for that matter), though I enjoy the technical aspect of it. It's a sport first, but also automotive R&D second.

I don't know much about formula 1, can someone explain to me where they put the bees now?

Isn't hearing the loud engines the fun part of F1 racing?

No no, the fun part is watching german drivers win

No, it's about watching Finnish drivers win...

So no fun then, huh? *trololololo*

Not this year!

from http://www.formula1.com/news/features/2014/1/15408.html:
Rule change: Introduction of new power unit consisting of a 1.6-litre V6 turbo engine and two Energy Recovery Systems (ERS)
Implications: The 2.4-litre normally-aspirated V8 engines of 2013 produced around 750bhp, with an additional 80bhp available for around six seconds per lap from KERS. The 2014 V6s put out around 600bhp. However, the two ERS systems (ERS-K and ERS-H) will give drivers an additional 160bhp or so for approximately 33 seconds per lap.

Expected sound from the 2015 season.

Well apparently , the organisers of the Australian GP are threatening to sue because it wasn't loud enough. I remember as a kid hearing a formula 1 car in person when one did a demo lap in Dublin. The noise just blew me away, I had literally never heard anything that loud.

Personally, I think this kinda misses the point of F1. GT racing has always been more exciting because it's closer, but that's not why people watch F1. It should be about the best drivers racing the fastest cars. Yeah, the engineering is part of it. Bring back big engines, bring back ground effect, let's really see what the engineers can do.

F1 has always been as much about the technical aspect as the drivers.

And let's face it...Guitars, jet fighters, explosions.... loud things are just fucking awesome. .

For some reason I thought this was going to be about Formula E. Now THAT's going to sound different.
