F1 boss and Ferrari boss have a problem with the way the turbo V6 sounds.
A SPEED report notes Ecclestone's reaction: "I listened to the noise of the engines in Maranello the other day,the new engine and the old engine,and even (Ferrari President) Luca di Montezemolo said it sounded terrible."
That whine of a high-revving V8 has become an integral part of the identify of F1 –it may be imprudent to meddle with with such an important part of the brand.
SPEED is reporting that Ecclestone believes the introduction of the turbocharged V6 mill should be postponed or even dropped altogether.
