But F1 has always been about applying leading technologies to a competitive race class. I think those of you who are truly automobile enthusiasts will be able to appreciate the application of technology and execution of mechanics in the modern f1 cars. To me, the new f1 cars sound great, but perhaps that is because I expect them to sound like a "balls to the wall" turbocharged v6... not a v10 or anything else.

I'd have to respectfully disagree. There are several racing series world-wide that are applying leading technology, but F1 has always been different, and the biggest piece of that difference is sound. Nothing else came close. Now that's finished. I hate to agree on anything with Ecclestone, but on this, he's right.
