Incredible F1 Engines Sound Evolution (1950-Current) (V12 V10 V8 V6) 

I wasn't born back then so I didn't hear them lol! Note: I love F1 so much and I'm only a 11 yr old kid

100% I remember going to the 2000 Australian GP on the sunday and there was Sunday practice. People were chilling in the morning my dad put ear butts in my ear, 'I was like why? Trust me you'll thank me latter. I was like 😂 okay. People were looking at me weirdly then out of nowhere screaming set of v10 F1 cats come hurtling towards us into turn 3 people were scrambling and going wtf? Didn't check the program schedule. Granted they were going half throttle. But you could hear them over 25+ KMs away especially in windy conditions.

Yeah when those V10 screaming sound waves got you chest the amount of adrenaline and rush from just being there never ever felt like that

How's your ears.

I dont watch f1 but nascar the past 2 years has been LOUD it shakes the whole earth hearing 40 cars fly past at 190mph Edit: Online it says 100 decibels aka the sound of a lawn mower..... no way absolutely not a chance i went to a slower race last night and my ears are still ringing, i was sitting in row 40 of grandstands... i'd say if you were in the 1st row 140db-ish

Not to be blunt, but that's called nostalgia

This is how you know you're getting old. When you start to truly believe things in the past were better.

@@bort- I don´t know, some things are simply that good, of course that it depends on the personal taste. For me, in 20, 30, 40 years from now the 2012 season will be remembered as one of the bests of F1 history. And 2021 was just as good.

Not the drivers. But the cars did

For me it's the 80-90's for a similar reason.

Insanely hot 🥵💦😍

66 90 91 and 2005

Very True indeed

agreed, loved the v8 eras versatility.

The V10 cars were faster than the V8’s tho

@@theread3480 cuz they were W I D D E R

best sounding : v6 turbo hybrid****

Plus blown diffuser

@@judyazere9901 nope

You have a different opinion, nice bro

v6 are a total junk. good only for who don't understand nothing about how a race car have to "sound"

when the camera faced him I wished he had a cigarette hanging

@@standopowah So, cars that had a top speed of 180mph and could do 0-60mph in four seconds were "not fast enough to need much safety"? And that is for the very first F1 cars in 1950, the one driven by Fangio in that video was outputting 50 more horsepower, and could likely approach 200mph.

@@standopowah Sure they did. There's an interview with Nelson Piquet where he says the cars in the late 50s were just about as fast in the big straights as the cars he was driving in the mid-80s. The big difference between them was how fast the more modern cars were in the turns. Because of the tyres being much wider and the cars having more downforce, 80s cars could be sometimes even twice as fast as the old cars when turning. That explains why lap times were cut so drastically in the 70s and 80s. Also, the biggest reason for pilot deaths in F1 throughout the 50s, 60s, and even early 70s, was lack of a seat belt. When you crashed, you were 95% likely to be thrown out of the car, and that reduced survivability dramatically. If you check the stats, F1 pilot deaths were reduced dramatically when seat belts were introduced.

@@standopowah Sounds insane, doesn't it?

@@standopowah Many drivers actually didn't want seatbelts, since they preferred being thrown from the car, rather than staying in a burning wreck (the cars had huge fuel tanks, which were usually placed close or even around the cockpit). The risk was so high that they had the mentality of "I have a bigger chance of surviving when I am thrown out of the car". As for the speeds, many tracks at the time had very long straights, so yes, the cars were hitting 300 kph, even in the 50s. The reason many of them didn't care much for safety was likely the fact they experienced World War II just a few years prior, many of them as soldiers. Having a small chance of dying in your race car was certainly better than being shot at. Plus, they didn't have the experience of vehicle safety. Seatbelts weren't invented until like the 1950s. Vehicle safety just wasn't a thing back then. They didn't feel the danger as much as we would feel it now, not being in a war and knowing all the different safety features.

The V8 Cosworths definitely are one of the greatest engine's ever in F1 👍🙏

Thanks for sharing, ciao Fabrizio
