0mgz, why did they go down to V8's?

[.:Subarusti:.]

making the racing closer and tighter! I loved the sound of the V12's, i go to the F1 every year at silverstone, and you can hear them from miles away :D

[.:Subarusti:.]

i hate micheal Schumaker, can teven spell his name :|

I have issues with this, the last load of regulations and car changes slowed down the cars already, even though V8's can still be highly tuned, they still won't match the V12's and so the racing slows down again!
At this rate give it another 10 years and they'll all get beaten by the pace car......

hmmm maybe Jeremy Clarkson was on to something when he said 'the Mercedes SL55 AMG pace car is so loud you can hear it over the F1 cars' lol
