Hulkenberg an idiot for not giving that position back. Now he gets 5 seconds added to his time.

No changes in the first 12 positions. that's pretty unique for a start.

Get rid of the gimmicks introduced supposedly for the fans . Bring back the beast engines without fuel consumption rate or RPM limit requirements. For fans more interested in fuel saving than racing there is Formula E now for you . Return Formula 1 back to what was it was created to be in the begin...

With only 3 engines allowed for the whole season next year, Honda powered cars are in for a huge world of hurt.

How successful are they, though, really? They had a brief moment of competitiveness in 2007/8, but otherwise they've been a fairly consistent back-half-of-the-grid team. I think their glory days are pretty long ago, personally. If this gives them a chance to be reasonably competitive again, it can ...

I dont know ANYONE who thinks that Honda has made "great" progress. The idea is simply ludicrous.

Haas would do well to replace Ro-Gro. It's not just the spins (which seem to happen every race weekend), it's the negativity that he seems to exude from his pores. This guy is such a downer in terms of his words and demeanor. I think Haas can do better; regardless of their rationale for hiring him....

I thought engines were randomized and then distributed to all the users, or is that a future rule?

None of the ovals would suit a Formula One car. They arent built for those kinds of speeds nor impacts.

Still, I vote Michigan Speedway since it's close to where I live.

That was, in fact, precisely the point I was making. There have always been people who didn't like the sound, you just ignored them. News flash: I dont like baseball. I think it's a pretty boring sport. Yet I dont try to change into something I'd like to the detriment that others who do like it as ...

We associate loud engines with performance because of past experience but it's no longer the case. It's time to accept the paradigm shift and realize that the future of high performance will cease to be about how much power can be squeezed out of an ounce of fossil fuel and more about how much perf...

Herb Tarlik

So what is it about the current format of F1 that has gone outside the confines of its traditions? As far as I'm concerned, F1's 'tradition' is no more than having the fastest drivers in the fastest cars with no stipulation about the amount of noise those cars must produce. It just so happens that ...

Herb Tarlik

I wonder if that had anything to do with the fact that the people who thought it was too loud just didn't go? I've been to four GPs since the V6s were introduced, and I haven't heard any complaints about the lack of noise. Does that mean they don't exist? Nonsense. There have been many many complai...

See, this is where EVERYONE here could go to a track and go into the garages of different types of cars/engines just to hear them rev, and I can say with 1,000,000% certainty that the ones that would leave everyone in awe and make every one feel excited would be the ones that make them feel their f...

Herb Tarlik

As long as the engines were a lot louder, cheaper, more reliable, and development allowed, then any architecture should be allowed. The manufacturers have too much say in the future of the sport. It is understandable they want the optics to appear that the sport is driving innovation and leading th...

There seems to be a lot of people on both sides stating their own opinion on what fans want as a near 100% global consensus. To that end, I thought it would probably aid that part of the discussion to try and get an indication of what fans want, and started a poll on the matter. You can take part h...

In fact, from the first day these current hybrids raced on the track ViJay Mallya questioned What is this? This is not F1! He was of course 100% correct. The hybrid engines are most certainly NOT Formula One. They are a complete and total break from the history and tradition that F1 engines represe...

He took advice from a professional and acted accordingly. Anybody who's ever taken out an ISA has taken steps to minimise their tax bill and the rich just do it on a different scale. Whatever the outcome, the focus should be on the professional tax advisors, not their clients. But I doubt that will...

All that said, I think he is one of the most radically overrated drivers in recent history. Who actually rates Massa though? I don't think the consensus has had him in the top 10 drivers on the grid for any period other than 2007-2009. He holds the all time record for most seasons lost to a team ma...

The reality is that F1, as a business, can be grown to double its current size with or without Ferrari.

Ludicrous. Have you ever been to an F1 race? Ever see anyone wearing red? 85% of the fans at an F1 race are FERRARI fans.

F1 would be a shell of its former self if Ferrari left.

This is what your NOT comprehending. Why were engines from previous formula's louder???? Its not because fans wanted to hear more noise. Its because those engines had to rev at high peaks to create more power cycles inside the engine to produce the same amount of power a current formula one engine ...

Never understood his popularity TBH. 14 full seasons and he has managed to beat his team mate twice. One was a sub-standard, can't be a*sed Villeneuve, the other a sub-standard, can't be a*sed Kimi.

Go away. Please, go away. They do this s*it a few times a year. Please just do it already no one cares ! Italian crybabies. They are by far the most successful, supported and popular team in F1.

Either way you can't threaten to pull out every time you fear something may not go your way and expect to be taken seriously.

You are thinking about Red Bull.

If we had the torque curves for the NA vs turbo hybrid engines you'd really see the improvement. If that mattered, at all, then Formula One would be enjoying some seriously good times. Instead, we have near unanimity from those in power that the engine formula MUST change because the current one is...

Again, you are missing the point. I do not care one whit about fuel efficient hybrid engines. They are abhorrent to motor racing as far as I am concerned. I want engines that, as several others have already described here, are *fearsome*. The sound should instill awe, and yes, fear. They should be ...

Ferrari more than any other is NOT going to walk from F1. They want a distinctive engine, /I would love to see them return to a flat configuration, and they want an engine that will produce world champion drivers. To them, the simpler and cheaper to produce a winning engine is, the less likely it i...

Indeed the engine manufacturers want to build engines with cutting edge technology and not engines they see as being dumbed down, 2021 could be a watershed for F1. Engine manufacturers devote a great percentage of their development budget in-house and Formula One is the kid who sits at a separate t...
