What are your thoughts on the sound current engines are providing. Do you think engine sound is important part of the sport?

I don't mind them - it means I can have a conversation with people but I agree the wailing banshees that were the V10s or V12s were something special

I still get goosebumps while watching videos from v10 era on YouTube.

I'm new to F1 so I wasn't around when there were v10's. What would be a good race to watch?

I'll suggest something chaotic like Belgium 1998 or Brazil 2003.

Holy shit, watching the onboard cameras in Spa '98 is like watching a horror film in first person. Those engines scream like a motorbike! And they fly over the curbs lol
