All I can say is:

Renault's head of track operations, Remi Taffin, told AUTOSPORT that F1 would be stuck with the sound it has unless the regulations changed.


"There's two big items that drive this," he said.


"Firstly revs: we went from 18,000 to something like 12,000 this year.


"It's important to say it's based on the regulations, because they set 15,000 as a maximum, but the fuel-flow limitation means the maximum we're running, whether it's a Ferrari, a Mercedes, or a Renault, is 12,000 and at the end of the straight it could be 10 or 11,000.


"This makes a very big difference, because last year it was 18,000. Now where you've got grandstands it's something like 10."
