ZONTA SLAMS 'GIRLY' V8 ENGINES

Toyota test driver Ricardo Zonta has poured scorn on the 2.4-litre V8 engines that will be used in Formula 1 next season.

The current 3-litre V10s will be replaced at the end of this season in favour of eight-cylinder units in order to curb escalating speeds and cut power outputs from 900bhp to around 730-750bhp.

But Zonta, who has been testing a hybrid Toyota fitted with a V8 at Jerez this week, says the power reduction has made the cars too easy to drive.

this will just make it even easier for mediocre talents to make the F1 grade. F1 is slowly going down the toilet with these ridiculous regulations.

This is sad. What we need most is cars difficult to drive, with no driving aids, so people make mistakes

No! This news are great for Kimi! you should be glad! :naughty:

Those IMSA engines were the most powerful engines in any sportscar or open-wheel racing series as far as I know... Shame that series was neutered and then disappeared.

maybe that's why Zonta still has a job in F1, because the cars are simply becoming easier and easier to drive that any 'average joe' can come in and pedal the thing to a sufficient level...
