There has been a lot of conjecture on social media about the 2014 Formula 1 cars after the first race of the season in Melbourne last weekend. People have been lamenting the loss of the 2.4 V8s that ran for the past eight years, saying that the new "power units" sound terrible and that the racing is weird and it doesn't feel like Formula 1 anymore.
Earlier this week, the organisers for the Australian Grand Prix claimed that they planning to sue the Formula 1 management, claiming that the quieter engines reduced the spectacle of the sport, breaching their contract. Even Bernie Ecclestone himself has been, ahem, vocal about the engines' lack of volume.
What utter cobblers.
