Formula One 2014

Sooooooo... yeah

Wow do they sound fcuking terrible

I don't even know what else to say

Go Williams?

[89CAL]

Whistle from the red bulls is amazing. Thinking they might still be turned down till fp2 or fp3. The engine noise isnt great. Seems to suit the williams with the Martini livery. The noses dont look too bad in real life. Mclaren probably the most noticable

[tweety bird]

The v8 supercars sound better then the f1 cars..

[Doobs]

That is sad.

[a31rb25]

Jesus, they sound like bloody SR20s.

[Doobs]

Tractors?

[tweety bird]

son of rajab, they sound like bloody SR20s.

It's sad.

[tweety bird]

OMG the sound of the rb7.

This years car sound terrible...

[89CAL]

No earplugs required this year

[ctjet]

That speed comparison really drives home home shit this is

So bitterly disappointing

Not even going to FP3, hope fully the saving grace is that the racing is much better... pls

[MatthewT85]

im liking it a bit more now in FP2

[Scottydoo]

I bought the new official F1 app, looks pretty cool with the live timing you can follow any car around the track and it shows their current speed and how many laps they've done this stint vs total for the session etc etc. liking it so far. $11.50 is a more reasonable price this year too. Be interesting to see it work during the race

[Bodella]

Wow, I thought everyone was talking up how bad they sound.

Nope, they really do sound shit.

[Roy]

Have never needed ear plugs at a GP!!!

God I hope the racing is closer this year because the engine note (or lack of) is really taming the whole experience.

One thing that I am pleased about is the lower levels of downforce. It's good to see the car being recovered from a slide that is greater than 10 degrees.

How loud are they compared to the V8's? From what I can hear through the TV they sound considerably quieter.

The phallus noses will be gone next year

Now all they need to do is abolish this bullshit economy initiative and go back to V10's

Heres an idea.

How about we let the manufacturer choose the number of cylinders again

[Roy]

Gutted for Lotus and in particular Romain....its ok...Eric will bin Button and give my boy a call for next year

[tweety bird]

Heres an idea.

How about we let the manufacturer choose the number of cylinders again

Sounds good to me!
