F1 sucks. I used to love this sport. I have been to 30 Grands Prix in my lifetime, watching since the Villeneuve days, Gilles that is, and now the cars sound like a joke and have taken away the excitement that one expects at a Formula One race.
It is amazing the technology and yes, F1 technology makes its way down to passenger cars. I get that. But they have completely forgotten the true petrol heads that love tha sounds of the cars. Now the sound like an extended fart.
I remember walking into the venues I have been and hearing the screams of these engines, the whoosh of these cars making a whole in the air, the braking, crackling sonic booms of downshifts, and foot to the floor engines wailing. Glorious Ferrari V12s, Mercedes V10s, and now, V6 turbos that sound like a family car.
Sorry for the rant, but for those who have never been to a race, you probably wouldn't understand. For those who have, you will! Watching on Tv and seeing these machines live, it is quite the spectacle.
