It would also spice things
up a bit. Instead of "please go fuel mix D" you have people running out of fuel 
Makes sense I suppose but still against the spirit of sport IMO.

why dont they ban all radio contact? let the drivers decide when to pit,when to push and when to race on!
750hp from 4cyl 1.6 turbos.... should be fun!!

It's a 'team' sport though isn't it.......... not saying I agree or disagree but unless 'teams' only have one car I don't see how you can stop it happening to some degree
Turbos are back finally... but still not as good as the old days !
I agree. Ban radios. I think they should also ban telemetry. It really annoys me to see a driver (in quali) sitting with a print out of their
team-mates telemetry showing where they can be faster. If they're any good a driver they don't need that info It would also spice things
up a bit. Instead of "please go fuel mix D" you have people running out of fuel
Aren't they going to be limited to 10k rpm ?
A parade of low revving 4 pots is going to sound s***e 
12,000 rpm I just read, so they will sound a tad flat. But it did say they will allow
compounding which was specifically banned last time. Remember also when turbos were last
in F1 Renault were laughed at by some because of their 'kettle' car (so-called I think due to it's tendency to overheat) but we ended
up with the Brabham BMW with 1500 rumoured bhp in qualifying trim, and that was from a 4 cyl 1500cc motor
If you want a giggle, read up on that BMW engine. The engineers used car blocks from scrap high mile engines that they left outside for a while in the rain and all wee'd on. The wee was supposed to have an acid / alkaline / something in it which helped with the other bits the metal season / harden / something.
