The news was revealed by Toto Wolff, a chief at one of F1’s three current engine suppliers, Mercedes.<\/p>\n
Together with Ferrari and Renault, the engine-making trio is currently looking into how to turn up the controversially low volume of this year’s new 1.6 litre V6 turbos.<\/p>\n
Nico Rosberg, a Mercedes race driver, tipped a solution to be found ahead of the Monaco grand prix late this month.<\/p>\n
“We will soon be in Monaco and I think we will hear a different sound there,” the German said last weekend whilst visiting the DTM season opener at Hockenheim.<\/p>\n
“I think it’s important that we do work on it, because the noise is part of the show.”<\/p>\n
Last week, a meeting involving Bernie Ecclestone, Jean Todt and all 11 F1 team bosses took place in London, and top of the billing was the issue of cost cuts.<\/p>\n
But also on the agenda was noise.<\/p>\n
“We discussed what solutions there might be, and us at Mercedes also have our approaches and proposals,” Wolff, also at Hockenheim for the DTM opener, is quoted by Speed Week.<\/p>\n
He said some of the proposed solutions will be tested at the post-Spanish grand prix test next week.<\/p>\n
“We will try them out on the car in Barcelona and see if they have the effect that we are looking for,” said Wolff.<\/p>\n
He revealed that the solutions are all focused on the area of the engine exhaust.<\/p>\n
“We have some highly complex solutions within the exhaust system,” said Wolff, “and also one like a ‘megaphone’ that simply opens up at the end — with all the problems that brings with it,” said Wolff.<\/p>\n
“I do not know if the latter is what we should be doing in formula one, but nevertheless we will come with our suggestions and approaches and see in Barcelona.”<\/p>\n
