They won't but Red Bull will :lol:

Horner said recently that the new regulations came at the wrong time for F1.

Corrected you there! I hope to god Ferrari steps in and tells them to go screw if they request. They got till 28th feb to modify the engine otherwise its tough s***. Engines have been developed for over 2 years now, theres only Ferrari who have smartly chucked it into one of their cars. Lotus was right. They wont be the only ones not doing Jerez :n

Just watched the video of vroull. And well the new sound is s***, compared to last year.
It sounds like a GP2 or DTM car, and it aint loud.. doesnt represent F1.
You can clearly see the speed difference in the video.
I know that we will get used to it, but if you compare it, the new cars are very slow. Theyll need 20sec to get to T1 in Melbourne.

There you go:

*sigh*

You do realise the cars aren't even pushing? You realise that the engines aren't even revving upto 15k yet? Ferrari said theyre only going upto 10,000rpm right now. Speed is not what Jerez is about, getting a car that works is what Jerez is about. Bahrain is when testing starts....
