Mercedes report 'significant' increase in engine noise
Formula 1 will be 'significantly' louder in 2016, according to Mercedes technical boss Paddy Lowe, who noted that during lab tests of the new exhaust layout that there is a big difference.
The sport has attempted to address the 'noise issue' after the introduction of new hybrid V6 power units led to a much quieter engine note, something fans have been very vocal about over the past two seasons.

Lowe is confident fans will be treated to a much louder F1 in the future....
