[QUOTE="si|verfish, post: 1155515, member: 2758"] They have to be anal. Otherwise, these smart ass F1 engineers will find some loophole to take advantage of. Anyway, if I remember correctly, V8s are less naturally balanced compared to V10s. So, to balance them and stop vibrations is going to be more tricky. And you couldn't just chop off 2 cylinders to achieve a V8. Especially not in F1. It would be less than ideal. They got to go back to the drawing board to cover the basics because V8s behave rather differently compared to V10s. With 2 less cylinders, the V8s will definitely not have as much of that hard edged, razor pitched scream that the V10s have. But still a great noise. The V8s aren't all doom and gloom for spectators. It is smaller and lighter and more compact ie. the cars will be more nimble and more agile. Power to weight ratio might not be too far off last years cars. Probably go round corners faster if not the straights. [/QUOTE]
