Pretty much spot on. 100kg is 100kg, the volume (Litres) to make that 100kg may vary depending on the Specific Gravity of the fuel being used at the time.Quote:

No doubt the PR people will tell their sponsors that they've been "hard done by", and "truth will prevail". Sounds like a few of the posts in this thread...:lmao:
You don't need to be "at the pointy end of motorsport" to see the obvious of what's going on here...;)
And "the truth" is always told in F1 circles...;)Quote:

Yep one might argue one point or another however it would be easier to just use the damn sensor. Unless faulty readings could cause an untimely engine failure?Quote:

If it was another team then they would deserve it. But no one else seemed to feel the need to pursue this action...
Nose out of joint over your favourite team having their dirty laundry aired? Appears so...
We in primary school are we? Have no better argument to the valid points posted so resort to childish nitpicking...:lol: :jerk:Quote:

Maybe Red Bull did not believe there would be an issue as it was after the race (as far as I know) that the FIA took exception to someone not wanting to use their inaccurate sensor. Every team runs their own strategy so others decided to use the other sensor. So be it. But did it cost them the race, cause a failure? Also I am not really a big follower of F1 so no my nose is not out of joint over my "favorite" team having their dirty laundry aired as I have no allegiances to one or another. The only nose that appears to be out of joint here is yours. Oddly enough it appears common occurrence when people don't agree with you?Quote:

Even bernie isn't happy with the sound.......
I've heard a few technology addicts state that "noise is wasted energy", and that this technology is "very now, and relevant".
Well, emotion is also wasted energy, so why not replace the whole human race with reliable, non-emotional robots- who would do a much better job at being boring and efficient than the human race?
Motor racing IS an emotional entertainment choice to many- like many sports are. The saddest thing out of this is now, rather than the wall of noise approaching from far away then shaking your internals as it flies past, most of the noise we will likely hear now will be coming from even more smartphone addiction at the track above the rather polite new F1 exhaust sounds...
Allow them to produce around 1500hp in qualifying trim and then they will make some noise as well as blow up every few hours. Much for fun then.
