Why don't formula 1 cars have horns?

[Nobbles]

A question posed by my 4 year old son yesterday which made me laugh and then think...what if the horns were 'personalised' or if you were beaten by your teammate you got a cute peep peep horn. Very immature I know but endless possibilities like the formula E fan boost.

Excellent idea. Why not two tone with the polite "be careful I am coming through" and the "get out of the ****** way!" variations! Plus it gives an opportunity to add another button to the steering wheel!

Maldonado can have the "Beep, Beep, Beep, vehicle reversing" horn.

Could be the perfect answer to the low noise of the modern cars.

Spoked wheels and playing cards.

Reminds me of the touring cars flashing their headlights - 'coming through'

[Nobbles]

Nico could have a 'please go faster Lewis' and kimi the dolmio tune for every time he laps Alonso.

Obviously Pastor Maldonado would have a horn straight from a clowns circus car. Either that or an air raid warning siren to give fellow drivers a chance to take avoiding action.

He needs the Jericho Trumpet from a Stuka.

Kimi would have an ice cream van tune

Quite a clever question coming from an 4-year old kid. At that age, I don't even see myself asking the same question. LOL
