Sky-Experte Ralf Schumacher kann die Kritik der Fahrer am neuen Formel-1-Reglement nachvollziehen. Der Ex-Pilot hofft auf eine Rückkehr reiner Verbrennungsmotoren in die Königsklasse und einen größeren Fokus auf die Fahrer.
“we all”? I don’t. It’s bullshit that has absolutely nothing to do with race action. On TV you cannot experience it at all and live it’s just damaging the ears, making hearing protection absolutely necessary. Also, the rumbling gets old quite soon. After a few laps it’s just there and nothing special at all.
That engine noise fetish is a marketing ploy by the fossil fuel lobby. In motorsport entertainment, the on-track action has to be good. That’s it and that’s 100% unrelated to noise.
Last year’s DTM finale was among the most gripping motorsports events ever and they race GT3 cars without any hybrid unit. Not even a second of that race did I think “ooooh, that sound” (especially not on TV because I didn’t attend that race). Great action speaks for itself.

I agree! The focus should be on great wheel to wheel racing, I find it crazy that so many people focus on how it sounds :/
Fully agree.

Have you ever driven a car? Or raced a go kart?
Yes.
No.
Not that it matters.
I think you’ll prefer formula e then
I prefer any form of good racing. I don’t fetishize noise.
There is more good racing in 5 laps of Formula E than an entire season of snormula yawn. Then we can talk about MotoGP.
