After the first race of the new Formula 1’ is the the lover is still painfully clear: downsizing, turbos and less revs to do the sound experience little good.

This does not fall from the sky, in the run-up to the new turbotijdperk resisted, especially the final boss Ecclestone himself against the naaimachinemotoren and suggested, but artificial sound to add. Now we in the practice have seen a crack in the criticism further los.

After the first race of the season yesterday showed the Australian organisation, also to the dismay of the switch from 2.4-litre V8, atmospheric and a maximum of 18,000 rpm to 1.6-litre V6, turbo s, and a maximum of 15,000 rpm (practice: approx. 11.000 rpm) prove. According to them, undermine the new rules the sex appeal of Formula 1, and get the spectators if not for what they have paid.

The new pacific racing does have 1 advantage: the communication between pitcrew and driver through the radio, there is a piece verstaanbaarder. And you must think so, it could always be worse: in the Formula E this year with o.a. Robbert Doornbos to start, you hear nothing.

But still: in F1 hear a noise and earplugs, not a good sound.
