Every now and again you run into an announcement that is just too cool so I wanted to share this: F1: We Are The Champions As Fernando Alonso swept over the finish-line of the Chinese Grand Prix and made sure that Renault won the F1 Constructors' Championship, he broke into song, with a Spanish-accented version of the first line of the Queen standard "We Are the Champions." When the team got back home, they went one better, making the old cliché about "the music of a high-powered engine" literally come true. They took a recorder into one of their test-beds and captured the sound of a Renault V10 being masterfully manipulated to provide a complete version of the song of which Fernando could only sing the first line. Next year F1 goes over to smaller V-8 engines, so this is truly the swan-song for the V-10. You can listen to it here: http://www.renaultf1.com/en/season/china/index.php?news=tcm:3-41651 just click on the 'Start' button in the 'Sound' section. |

Thanks for posting Bob Anybody but Ferrari I always say! I was actually hoping for a McLarin-Mercedes win, but it was not to be. Congrats to Renault!!! |

Pretty cool ............. but I'd opt for the sound of a Nascar V8 any day. These things, like todays small cars and crotch rocket motorcycles sound like weed whips. |

It's hard to imagine a V8 in F1 - guess we'll have to see HOW that'll turn out !  |

Anyone ever heard one of Granatelli's Novi's.....they were BEE-U-T-FUL.....they wailed like nothing else and were making 900 HP when every thing else was struggling to make 700 ('course they only lasted 5 laps) |
