I’m curious, I watched something about how F1 are migrating towards hybrid drive chains, does that change the sound at all?

GP seems to be a little factious, they haven't had V10s in awhile, although they were considered the 'best sounding' F1 engine. They have migrated to hybrid V6s for the last 5 years or so.

If it was just for the sound, perhaps we'd just insist on the 4 rotor wankle engines of the 787b

They have been """hybrid""" for quote some time with the mgu and mgk.

So you're saying you're not really in it for the competition, you just like the spectacle?

The notion of their being any competiom in F1 is laughable.

Ah yes, Hamiltion Verstappen 2021 wasn't a competition, it was a _____ ?

Brief moment in time. Look on the timeline a little bit longer than drive to survive.

Senna v Prost?

Schumacher v Hakkinen?

Alonso v Vettel (2012)?

Hamilton v Rosberg (2016) ?

Hamilton v Alonso?

The whole of 2010?

while I agree that the v10 is the most unholy of sky shredding sounds…. its been almost 20yrs since F1 has had them at this point. Times change I guess..
