Mercedes confident 2016 cars will be significantly louder



Formula One cars will be 'significantly' louder in 2016 according to Mercedes technical chief Paddy Lowe.

The advent of F1 racing's 1.6-litre engine rules led to a fall in noise levels, but for this season steps have been taken to make power units louder such as mandating two exhaust tailpipe exits rather than one - changes that Lowe is convinced will prove a success.

"We'll see how much louder [the changes prove], but some measurements have been made in the labs and they have seen a significant increase," Lowe said in a Mercedes video.

"The reason for that is the wastegate was causing a sort of silencing of the main exhaust pipe, so by removing it from the main exhaust pipe we have less silencing going on of the main flow.

"In the last two years we have had a situation where the main exhaust goes through one tailpipe, [and] we have a wastegate to spill out extra pressure from the exhaust. We now have to duct that air separately through an extra tailpipe, and this is intended to make more noise. It will work."

The changes will get their first public outing when teams roll out for the first pre-season test, which takes place in Barcelona, Spain on February 22-25.

Vettel and Raikkonen to drive for Ferrari in wet-weather test



Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen will share driving duties for Ferrari in next week's Pirelli wet tyre test at France's Paul Ricard circuit.

Ferrari are one of only three teams taking part in the test, along with McLaren - for whom 2015 GP2 champion Stoffel Vandoorne will drive on both days - and Red Bull. Like Ferrari, Red Bull's 2016 race drivers Daniel Ricciardo and Daniil Kvyat will split the team's workload over the two-day session, which runs on January 25-26.

Paul Ricard's sprinkler system means the track can be made wet regardless of the prevailing weather, allowing all three teams to focus their efforts exclusively on testing and evaluating Pirelli's wet-weather compounds, in particular the blue-marked full wet tyre.

Pirelli will control the testing programmes, and all three teams will be prevented from running their 2016-spec cars.
