A bit more fuel and a drill — that is how former F1 driver Heinz-Harald Frentzen would spice up the 2014 spectacle.<\/p>\n
“I saw the first part of the race,” recently-retired Red Bull driver Mark Webber told Talksport radio when recalling the Malaysian grand prix.<\/p>\n
“I didn’t watch it all — it got a little bit processional,” said the Australian.<\/p>\n
German Frentzen thinks part of the problem is all the fuel-saving, now that drivers can only use 100 litres from the start of the race to the end.<\/p>\n
“I would give them ten more litres in the tank,” he told Austrian television Servus TV.\u00a0 “Then they could drive fast for the whole race.<\/p>\n
“And I’d drill a hole in the exhaust,” Frentzen smiled, referring to the quieter sound of the turbo V6 engines.<\/p>\n
However, he said he is supportive of the move to more relevant ‘hybrid’ technology.<\/p>\n
“Rather than spending all the money on a front wing, now they’re investing in sustainable technology,” said Frentzen.<\/p>\n
Daniil Kvyat, a teenage rookie on the 2014 grid, said he is proud to be a part of the ‘new’ F1.<\/p>\n
“I remember seeing cars going 330 (kph) on the Monza straight when I was a kid, but this year we will be going 360 or even more.<\/p>\n
“With each revolution, something is lost and something is gained,” the Russian told La Repubblica newspaper.<\/p>\n
