Bernie Ecclestone is calling for the postponement or outright abandonment of changing Formula 1 engines to turbocharged V6s in 2014. 

"I listened to the noise of the engines in Maranello the other day, the new engine and the old engine, and even Luca di Montezemolo said it sounded terrible and didn't like it," said Ecclestone.

Ecclestone continued: FIA president, Jean Todt, "will get rid of it. I think Luca is also saying we should suspend it for two or three years. I think it is sensible to get rid of it and stick with what we have got. It is much cheaper than the new one. It probably could be 30% of the price."

"I blame the FIA for this stupid engine formula. It really wasn't his [Todt's] fault, [former FIA president Max] Mosley started the engine and then he got carried away... Todt really hasn't interfered with us. He has been travelling the world and seeing all the different federations but he hasn't bothered us."

Renault, Mercedes and Ferrari have already begun developing turbo engines.
