They'll be 1.6 liter turbocharged fours in a couple years.

Hey Bobby

Remember the old days of 1.5 liter turbos with boost around 50-60 psi (1100 hp in qualifying trim). Can't remember...the last years of the turbo motors they were running 3.0 NA engines too, right? Nothing like a V-12 at full song.

H. The 1.5 turbo were in excess of 1200 HP. That what the dyno at BMW topped out at. The problem is that the FIA is dinking around with the Formula so much to have a GREEN appearence that they're going to screw up the series I'm afraid.
F1 is suppose to be the top of the line for motor racing and when Max was there along with that nutty Bernie who, I believe his best days are behind him, have taken the F1 series in to some luke warm waters. Let the engineers loose!
Be safe!

Agree, Bernie and Max made a lot of damage to the sport with their hard headed ignorance. Their ego is definitely a lot bigger than their brains.

Yeah I agree their egos were always above their decisions and the sport has been getting worse in my opinion.
