The iconic V10 engines were the sound of Formula 1 races for over a decade from 1995 to 2006. Though they are very unpleasant when you hear them very near they will give you goosebumps when you hear from far away. They are also high-revving and high-stressed engines.

The oldest engines in Formula 1 are the V12 engines. Many legendary F1 drivers like Mansell, Prost, Senna, and Schumacher are all born out of driving these V12-powered cars. But after the 90s many teams switched to V10s as they provided the same power in a small package. Ferrari was the last team to use these V12 engines until 1994.
