After the agony of defeat, success will be sweet!What's Burning? wrote:2004, was apparently the pinnacle of F1 performance. The lap record is held by Barrichello of 1.13.622 and the pole lap was 1.12.275. Back in the day when they had V10's. Unrestricted rubber designed for performance first, and four practice sessions to rubber in the track, plus qualifying, plus race day.And next year the delta will be close to zero as the teams get their heads around the new power units and also gain more of the lost downforce back.
The fastest time in FP2 was 1.14.0, today's FP2 was 1.16.1 so roughly a 2.9% delta in speed between the height of F1 performance, and today's cars in Montreal, all while using 50% less fuel than the cars of that era would have used.
Not bad IMO.

Nothing shouts performance more than these figures, and the sport should be advertizing some of these facts in a 'tastier' manner for the more thick headed out there to get it, and appreciate it.

The sound from the engines has to travel a lot less distance to reach your television set, so it's obviously louder. Duh.
