Last time they were that size (1.5l turbo in the '80s) they were pushing out 1,000 - 1,500 bhp, so displacement certainly isn't all things to all men in all situations...

Only for qualifying as they only had to complete a couple laps, during the races they were throttled back to around 650hp for longevity.

sounds like a wet bag of jobby being flung round on a rope. Or worse, a late 90's racing game on the gamegear
F1 leaves me cold and this is just another reason to go outside and do something else.
