Noisier & cheaper engines from 2021

As several of you have alluded to, 'noisier & cheaper' doesn't mean they aren't going to be 1.6L hybrid V6s...

Ross Brawn said:

My nirvana is we have an affordable engine, which still appeals to manufacturers but is a business model which can be produced by an Ilmor, a Cosworth or an independent supplier. I think we then have to work out what it is about the cars we want to be distinct amongst the teams.

What does he mean? Doesn't sound very promising.

Sounds great. Design the engine regs in such a way that you don't need a billion pounds and three or more years to develop a competitive power unit.

I don't want them to abandon any of the clever technologies, I'd prefer to see MGU-H retained possibly using standardised components. Could do the same for the deployment side, leaving the ICE, turbo and associated ancillaries to the manufacturers.

I don't see the need to take a backwards step in order to make the cars louder. The consumer has a breadth of choice of loud race series to go and listen to.
