I could really give a crap about "hybrid power units" really. I love the awesome, wasteful nature of racing, and F1 is the pinnacle.
Development locks on engines allow total dominance by Merc ALL YEAR LONG.
Tires designed to fall off so different strategies used, which ends up with drivers managing tires instead of racing at 100%.
Refueling is just cool, nothing wrong with a little fire here and there.
If F1's main driving force is viewership, then IMO they need to bring back the 22,000 V-12's and V-10's, give the cars the big power and sound that everyone wants, and then RACE!
I could go on and on.

The current V6 turbo configuration is not the problem. The problem is purely how fast they rev. F1 has had V6 turbos in the past and they sounded just fine, in my opinion even better then the v10.
