Been a while since I watched a race but what is all the tunnel with dry ice / cheerleaders bollocks?

How long have they been doing this?

Hopefully it’s a one-off.

There’s plenty of bollocks in F1 already, so we can do without all the Yankee razzmatazz.

Are they? My bad... shows how boring the engines sound these days! Do you think there will ever be any chance of screaming v12s returning with modern emissions legislations?

No never Ryan, those days are long gone. F1 needs to be at the front with emission technology like it or not but I agree with you, having seen them live they’re quieter than the F2’s. I think they’ll spice them up year by year sound wise hopefully.
