The recommended limits are a minimum of 18.5 and a max of 25.
So I think that Vettel is just borderline anorexic.
Fascinating read. They will have to increase the number of power units with a 22 race season
I know the topic has been talked about before but the engines just sound a bit wimpy.... I know the sound is not really a technical aspect of the engines but from an F1 experience point of view, something definitely has been lost.
Give it 5 years and it'll be silent electric engines!!
I don't think that they will sound like that when they are actually racing. The current sound is a bit artificial as they are being run on test beds.
Apparently, they will still sound like racing engines but just a bit quieter. You will also be able to hear when the turbo kicks in.
The cars will be more difficult to drive as the backend will be stepping out on cornering. If Vettel manages to perform well next year, without the exhaust blown advantage he currently has, then I might re-avaluate my opinion of him.
