Ecclestone, who has been eagerly voiced his opinion about the changes got exactly what he needed to be heard. “I was not horrified by the noise,” he said.
“I was horrified by the lack of it. We need to figure out how to make them sound like racing cars.”
Ecclestone, who got in touch with the president of Ferrari on the issue, also expressed that something needs to be done in the first quarter of the season as this issue cannot be left unresolved.
“I don’t know whether it’s possible but we should investigate; look into a few races and figure something out,” he concluded.
“We can’t wait all season. It could be too late by then.”
No value for money, says Australian GP chief
Ron Walker, the organiser of the Australian Grand Prix said the sound issues from the new V6 engines puts a dent in his investment, as the money spent on the event was not worth it.
Walker, claimed no one can hear the Formula One cars from the stands like they used to.
“You could hear the old generation F1 cars from a mile away,” said Walker.
“But these new turbo cars, you can hardly hear them coming down the straight.”
