Throughout history, there have been several machines that have soul & are almost sexy! Concorde and the Spitfire had "It" in shovels full! The V10 F1 cars from this era, in my opinion, also fall into the same catagory. When you're close to one when it's running, it leaves you in awe. The way it carves into some of those turns while letting out a visceral wail, is just the absolute pinnacle of Man coupled with automotive design & technology working together in sublime harmony. I could watch this lap again & again & not get bored. I'm glad I've lived in a time where we had machines that were sexy as hell! Something tells me that the future will be advanced to another level but not nearly as emotionally involving.

@pavelnovosad578 5 жыл бұрын

@O R You cant say its not nice to see "New lap record" pop up almost every quali. Also i believe its one of the key elements of formula1 to be the fastest motorsport there is. They need to be faster, so that it doesnt happen, that other motorsport series does faster lap times. Their marketing depends on it. I loved the old high revving engine sounds, but there are also advantages to new engines. Fuel comsumption makes it possible to go without refueling. It makes it safer and every pit stop depends on everyone on the crew. Not just guy with fuel nozzel who used to be slowest most of the time.
