V8 vs. V10 @ Monaco

[maza5ren]

They are replacing the current engines with 1,6 litre turbos in the near future. What a fucking joke! V 10 or  V12 is everything that formula fans want.

[MattMK45]

I'm pretty sure felipe massa's lap was on a partially wet track

[leandrosiqueiradambr]

v8 meens formula slow...

[MrMorg19]

There is no discernible difference in speed. The v10 sounds better.

[motorhead1995able]

we are talking about 2 different drivers and 2 really differend ballanced cars

[diegogpb]

So monaco is speed track... yea yea, of course... V10 power !!!

[andreveiguinha]

@diegogpb not speed, acceleration

[diegogpb]

@andreveiguinha dont worry, I know it, i only tryed to be ironic ;)

[12maniac12]

v10 is obviusly faster. plus they had traction which was a bonus. i miss that sound :(

[kallo182]

This is not Fair, because 2008 they got Gasoline for 30Laps on Board...

[stellpoons]

@kallo182 you are very right sir, i didnt even think about it but really was stupid of me you can easily see the handling difference. definatley look like it weighs more

[69tr3369]

The v10's sound is like better then anything justin beiber could make

[juannarciso10]

i miss v10s v8s have no power.

[bigredbosshog]

@juannarciso10 I wouldn't say "no" power.....not as much for sure but not a "Fred Flintstone-mobile" either.....lol

[exodah]

I mis those screaming V10's :(

[utente3893]

2004 cars were the faster

[KimiRogerValentino13]

Kipörgésgátló -.-

Hülyék tudjátok mennyi időt veszít az ember kigyorsításkor ha nincs kiprögésgátlója

[Connactzor]

Why did they go to V8 when V10 is faster?

[Pendemic]

Safety concerns

[Connactzor]

What was so unsafe then? I don't get it lol xD Sorry

[Pendemic]

The cars were too fast.

[Connactzor]

Ah oke, thx for the answers ;)

[IvanMD09]

@Connactzor its for an f1 more cheap and its faster coz traction control!!!

[zedextreme8177]

@Connactzor: FIA want to slow the cars down (which is IMO totally against F1 being the 'fastest' sport)

[ati600]

@Connactzor to make them "greener", and more economical. But they have better aerodynamic shape, and better gearboxes (the new one are seamless)...etc

To give an idea the V10 developed nearly 950bhp and the V8 (used now) about 750-800Bhp but the in Australia for instance the 2010 cars (eventhough less powerful) were quicker in qualifying, but in fast circuit like Monza the V10 makes the difference.

[MrMorg19]

@ati600 Makes no difference really.

[eamh2002]

How come so much money in the sports, and no ones gonna fit the 1,5litre 1200hp engine in those 2004 formulas, and put slicks on it. It would be the fastest possible track thing ever :D Just for show, please.

[TheApex95]

Maybe V10 is faster than V8 ;D

[azo112]

rs is the name of the engine r24 is the chassis

[rickyseigrande]

massa has more fluel than trulli i think

[afiqhanifah]

@rickyseigrande

no...the fuel just decrease the grip of the car...its comparation about using engine ...not driving skill...driving skill by massa and trulli is good but different is speed using the engine

[Speedoholic7]

Nice! V10 cars were clearly so much faster. Too bad.

[IvanMD09]

@Speedoholic7 its coz traction control not coz the v10

[MrMorg19]

@Speedoholic7 Except that Webber in 2010 did a 1:13.8

[diegogpb]

@MrMorg19 yes, and Kimi Raikkönen did 1:13.5 in 2005 with a V10. and the rb6 is so much better in aerodynamics and tyres (slicks).... imagine the rb6 with a v10 engine... it would be even faster

[xIIJoshIIx]

@diegogpb Except that Vettel did a 1:13.5 in 2011.

[MrFreemon1]

@MrMorg19

in 2004, they drove with heavy tank in quali. petrol for the race!!! v10`s are much faster than v8`s.

[DHernandez71car]

@MrMorg19 2010 + aerodinamic package + more advantages

[bettuva]

@MrMorg19 V10 made the drivers to work hard with very little electronic control and aerodynamics, plus they sound much better

[bwchudy95]

@bettuva very little electronic control?? you`re kidding right. back then it was much more about electronics than now, TC has been banned in 2008, and Id say I prefer knowing its drivers doing the job not the computers

[Ramzzy666]

@MrMorg19 but you cant argue montoya hitting 231 mph in a v10 at monza... it's sad looking at it now the cars can ONLY JUST hit 210 there if not a little slower and most tracks dont even hit 200 anymore where in the v10 era the cars would hit 200 on any decent straight, it is a noticeable difference, i think they'll become a few seconds a lap slower yet again when the v6 turbo engines are introduced since they want to make them eco and reliable..i just hope f1 cars don't become more like gp2...

[u1b2]

very nice comparison. its very obvious how the v10s where so much joy.
