Join Max Verstappen, Lewis Hamilton and Rubens Barrichello as they take you on their pole position laps from 2024, 2013 and 2004 respectively. Each with the unique sounds of the 1.6 litre V6 hybrid, 2.4 litre V8 and 3 litre V10 engine. What engine is your favourite? Mine is the V10 - peak Formula 1 era for me! I am a little bit too young to remember the V12's, they were just coming to end, the last one being in the 1995 Ferrari. And it never raced at Shanghai of course!

Interestingly the lap times are fairly, very closes as well - the modern era and aerodynamics/ground effect delivering the fastest one lap pace:

2024: Max Verstappen: 1:33.660
2004: Rubens Barrichello: 1:34.012
2013: Lewis Hamilton: 1:34.484

I do not own any of the footage, it is owned by FOM.
