Technical director of Williams team, Pat Symonds said that the new exhaust systems for the 2016 season will make the sound louder with at least 12%. Current V6 turbo engines have been criticized from the outset when replaced the old V8 in 2014, which forced teams to embark on research how it can be enhanced sound.
The decision for the new season will take place in this exhausts are now separate entities, there will be one or two pipes, as opposed to last year's system, where final tube was directly connected to the exhaust flow and thus got quieter sound. "The thing that viewers may notice in the new year will be increased noise. Given the improved engines for the new season, this in itself will produce more powerful sound, as another very important thing is the removal of the old exhaust system that drowned out the sound. This will not only lead to an increase in volume by 12%, but occasionally we will see real and dramatic sound turbo engines produce, "said Pat. On new rules for tires, which will allow teams to use more sets and those that they deem fit, Simmonds added: "Here we can expect movement of things in racing, then there will be a different choice of tires. Realistically , the more limited are the teams in this respect, the more predictable was the outcome of each race, as everything so far. it was decided to introduce five additional type of tire in the soft range, and even more importantly the freedom that will be given to teams in selecting the tires every weekend. I do not think it will be a much great change, but really has the potential to turn into something that will bring no small difference and spectacle in sport. "
