I get that for a significant chunk of fans/Bernie the noise is/was part of the spectacle, I get that.

 

...but pining for frozen, rev-limited, equalised, V8s?

 

If engines with lots of cylinders are a thing of the past (and they have been since 1996, and by regulation since 1999, so that's an old argument), I'll take the current motors and the engine war over the stagnant pool that was there from 2006-2013. The mandated 10-cylinders were better but only by a bit, at least they could be developed. To be honest as long as this 16 year old obsession for all F1 motors to be mandated the exact same configuration continues, it's all just different flavours of the same excrement to me 

 

Regarding fuel flow and efficiency etc. Power is proportional to efficiency, I like powerful engines, so efficiency is good. Power is also proportional to the input I guess, but if fossil fuels are becoming more scarce then anything that can make racing cars more powerful on whatever is left on our blue dot is fine by me. Don't give a crap about being "green" or pandering to those types personally, but anything that helps high performance racing engines exist for longer, I'm in support of.

Now we have rev limited, pretty much frozen v6's Turbos instead.

Who says we want those frozen rev limited V8's back anyway?

I want Un restricted engines that only last for 1 race weekend, doesn't matter if it's a V8 or V10 or V12 or a Twin turbo V6.

 

Also we will never run out of oil, the 70's oil crisis was made up to drive the prices up.

They find oil fields that hold more oil in them then what have been used up by us humans in our entire history.

There are several of those fields found around the world.

 

I am all for cleaner engines and less pollution, But Hybrid IS NOT CLEANER or less pollution, it's infact the opposite.

Who said anything about rev limited or equalized???

 

As far as I see nobody....

Bernie Ecclestone? The subject of this thread?
