Show off. I was pretty happy with 8, I didn't know the one off tracks from the early years.

I wasn't sure on one of them so I did have to guess.

FIA fires warning shot in F1 engine battle with ‘hostage’ claim
Nikolas Tombazis has declared that F1 cannot be held 'hostage' as discussions about the sport's next engine formula begin.

Was reading this story, and it really shows how badly they’ve dropped the ball with these engines, that they are coming out and saying this.
I was thinking, that I would happily still watch F1 if it moved to a single engine supplier, if it meant getting away from garbage like we have now.
9/10

RIP Roland Ratzenberger; 32 years since his tragic death at Imola
A terrible, terrible weekend. Thankfully we didn't also lose Rubens in his horrendous accident from Friday practice.

F1 will have V8 engines by 2031, possibly 2030, says FIA president
Formula One will switch from its current V6 hybrid engines to louder and simpler V8s by 2031, and possibly even 2030, according to the head of the sport's governing body.

Looks like we're switching back to V8 engines. Hopefully by 2030 if a vote goes through, if not then by 2031. Simpler engines and hopefully loud and noisy again.
FIA president behaving like a dictator again I see :
"I'm positive, they want it to happen. But let's say the manufacturers don't approve it (for 2030). The next year, it will happen. In 2031 its done anyway. It will be done. V8 is coming."
So even if the manufacturers are vehemently against it the FIA will dictate to them, no thanks. Backwards move isn't going to make it better.

V8s with synthetic fuel will do. However I imagine they will end up agreeing with V8s with some sort of hybrid element.
Is MBS due election or under scrutiny for some reason? He normally wheels out the V8 comments when that happens and wants some fan favour.
