Sebastian Vettel his renewed his attack on F1’s ‘new’ face, after he was rebuked by the FIA for earlier calling the mild sound of the V6 engines “sh*t”.<\/p>\n

\"Sebastian-Vettel-3\"Now with more refined comments, the reigning quadruple world champion does not hide his obvious disdain for the sport’s new configuration.<\/p>\n

“We are a sport that is famous for being loud and dangerous,” Red Bull driver Vettel told the German newsmagazine Focus.<\/p>\n

“We run the risk of losing the essence of motor sports,” he charged.<\/p>\n

When asked about the new, quiet and V6-powered engines, Vettel responded: “I would prefer a V10 or V12 with 1000 horse power — lots of power.<\/p>\n

“I would like to drive cars that are as fast as they can be — I need to feel as though I am taming a dragon or a beast,” he explained.<\/p>\n

“Compared to last season, this impression has diminished an awful lot,” said Vettel, who has struggled in 2014 alongside his new teammate Daniel Ricciardo.<\/p>\n

“The car does not know what I want,” explained the 26-year-old, referring to the Adrian Newey-penned new RB10 and his troubles at the wheel.<\/p>\n

“Under braking and in the corners I have an absolute lack of confidence,” added Vettel.<\/p>\n
