Re: Formula 1 2012 season

It would seem that Hamilton is staying with Mclaren and Webber has signed a contract for next year with Red Bull. Did you see the feature on the ECU for the 2014 engine? A 2.7 turbocharged V6. In the mid 1980's they could get 1500 bhp from a 1500cc in qualifying trim and 1200 for the race. I imagine that they'll enforce massive restrictions on the new lump. The current 2.4 V8 is producing 750 bhp with no forced induction (although KERS gives an extra 80 briefly). My best friend has a Prodrive Subaru Impreza with 315 ponies, that's quite quick! He won't let me drive it though
