Wonder if this will actually come to pass... so often F1 announces things and then later on changes it's mind. In fact sometimes it's hard to believe that F1 is actually a professional entity! https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/ferrari-f1-future-974190/ And here we go... "...it needs to be absolute...

A regular, naturally aspirated, petrol-powered internal combustion engine is what... 20% efficient? What are the current cars? 45%? It's a huge difference. And don't forget, the more efficient, the more power gets to the wheels for each litre of fuel, it's not only about fuel saving. Nobody cares. ...

Seriously, I heard the V6 hybrids for the first time in person at COTA. I couldn't believe how quiet they were. Honestly I've heard road cars that sounded better. But they also had some old school f1 cars there and everytime they went by I felt something hit me in the chest. That is what F1 needs t...

The simplest way to increase power is to increase revolutions. More gas and air, more power. I am adverse in going down the low RPM/efficiency route, it takes everything working in perfect harmony top achieve this efficiency. Then again, when I think of efficiency I think of endurance racing. Perso...

Obsolete?

Herb Tarlik

BINGO kleefton. I've been in Kart races that were louder and sounded better and those are measly 125cc motors. Herb, I went to several CART races and I would disagree they weren't as loud. They just had a lower pitch to them so perhaps a tad less "impressive" to the soul, but they were very loud. L...

Pretty disappointed they're getting rid of the MGU-H. Seems pushing tech comes second to 'DA NOIZE!!!!11!' No it doesn't. The biggest issues with ALL the current tech involved with the current PU are all cost, Cost, COST! And while all of it helps make the cars go faster, it's only marginally so an...

And for anyone who thinks the V8's sounded puny, no way. Either you don't have surround sound, or the one you have really sucks, or you've never heard them live. You can literally FEEL them through your bones which is something that automatically denounces the opinion of them sounding puny or poor ...

Pretty disappointed they're getting rid of the MGU-H. Seems pushing tech comes second to 'DA NOIZE!!!!11!' I think that's a bit simplistic. They're getting rid of the MGU-H for cost and complexity reasons, not because they are anti-tech. At the same time, they are trying to address the noise issue ...

The hybrid engines have been an abject disaster for Formula One. Do you care to explain your point of view ? The engines were sold to the teams that they would be lower cost. Instead, they are massively higher in cost. We've seen several teams fold up shop due to the explosion in higher costs, all ...

Herb Tarlik

I know I'm a fan of Bottas and not so much of Hamilton, but is Hamilton's championship somehow triggering a load of votes? The fact that he got his WDC doesn't make his drive better. This whole weekend, I'm not convinced he's really been any better than his team mate. And given that he was lapped, ...

Yes, 14 votes for a driver at a center of a racing incident where any other driver would have made the same mistake. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Engine Road Relevance The new hybrids are not road relevant, this idea that we are putting in Toyota Prius engines in the cars is incorrect. The new engines are technological marvels and are far more difficult to drive than the V8s they have replaced. In terms of driving challenge, the new engines ...

People have a lot of hate for hybrid engines but I really quite like them. It's simple, ugly technology to just stick a big, loud V10 in something to make it go fast and please the yahoos who want "DA LOUD NOIZEZ". It actually takes engineering skill to develop something that produces the maximum a...

Beautiful article, full of many reasons why I think F1 has gone off the rails ever since these horrible hybrid engines appeared. " F1 has never in its history been road relevant. Could you ever go out and buy a road car with a DFV in it? What about a 3.0L V10 that revs to 19,000rpm? Why do we have t...

Lol. How can someone vote Vettel? He either has no insight to where his competitors are on track, or he still doesn’t know the dimensions of his car. Yes he overtoke those (slower) cars, but he was there through a fault of his own. Hamilton struggled to get past anyone despite having a damaged car....

Vettel faded pretty bad this year and Kimi faded many many years ago. So yes, Ferrari do indeed have a driver problem.

Brazen fanboyism. Vettel trashed his hopes taking his WDC to the next race. Yet somehow he's driver of the weekend.

Watching the helicopter shot Vettel should never have hit Hamilton. I'm not surprised that Hamilton asked over the radio whether it was deliberate, it was a shocking bit of driving from Vettel. The FIA ignored investigating this incidence all because of the championship points situation. It's truly...

Because he's a racer.

Vettel only has himself to blame for his defeat today. It was his brain dead move to hit TWO cars on lap 1 and send himself into the pits for a new nose.
