More controversy surrounding 2014 engines

[P38 in workshop]

I remember the turbos of the 80's and they sounded fine,even if a bit less shrill than the current engines.I also remember murmurings about the switch to normally aspirated engines not having quite the effect on cost reduction that had been desired as each engine consisted of a greater number of parts.A few years later we had the saga of ever more exotic metals being utilised in the pursuit of absurd engine revs.I would expect that the lessons of the last few years regarding surface treatment of components and the pursuit of longer service life should give some good engines.The only slight quibble I have is that I would have liked the FIA to mandate that the engines should be able to start from cold.It would surely help the development of engines for the real world if the heating rigs could be banished.
