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

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

@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

@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...

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.

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

[DHernandez71car]

@MrMorg19 2010 + aerodinamic package + more advantages

[MattMK45]

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

[MrFreemon1]

@MrMorg19

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

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

[leandrosiqueiradambr]

v8 meens formula slow...

[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
