A place to discuss the characteristics of the cars in Formula One, both current as well as historical. Laptimes, driver worshipping and team chatter do not belong here.

Sounds very good if you ask me.
I have always thought that part of the problem with the sound of new V6s was that FIA was still using old mics on the track, adjusted to high pitches of V10s and V8s. That opinion came from comparing amateur videos from race days or testing and some filming days videos with TV broadcast and I never heard the engines in real life, so I might be wrong.
Bernie hates the new V6's so has no incentive to make them sound better. As he controls FOM trackside mics we're stuck with the crappy sound quality.

I haven't heard them in person either, but I know someone who has who said that they sound more complex but are still loud - just not so loud that you can't manage without industrial ear protectors!!
Favourite driver: Lando Norris
Favourite team: McLaren

Turned down the chance to meet Vettel at Silverstone in 2007. He was a test driver at the time and I didn't think it was worth queuing!! 🤦🏻‍♂️

Looks more like the STR7, with the double floor to me.

Toro rosso states it's the STR9, they've been showing older models daily the past time.
