A very minor case of serious brain damage

In the past ten years, three different varieties of engine have been used in Formula One, each of which has produced its own distinctive sound. Until 2005, 3.0 L V10 engines were used:



In 2006, these were replaced by 2.4 L V8 engines, used until last year:



This year, these have been replaced by turbocharged 1.6 L V6 engines:



The introduction of the V6 turbo has been unpopular with fans - but I'm not sure I see why, because I like them :P . Ideally, I'd prefer it if they were a bit louder, but I still enjoy F1 with them as they are. What about you?
