Sorry if it's a re-post but I've been away from internet lands for a while and thought you all needed reminding that the 1.6 is the future! :p

[blue_peg_16v]

they have been on about small turbo motors for a couple of years wonder if the power will get back to the old mclarens (1500bhp from a 1.5)

[Pistol Pete]

Can only be a good thing IMO. Surely it would tempt others into F1 also??

1.6 FTW;):thumb:

But it would be easier to stick with the v8 configuration that they have now to save costs as its already done and working well!;)

[dj_wudgey]

meh its only f1 lol would be interesting to see how much power they can get from a 1.6 though lol

i remember watching a programe about the old F1 turbo cars, BMW only used old blocks for there F1 cars, some say they even left them lying outside to weather them lol, still made crazy BHP around 1500 iirc, the very same block from a 2002 tii
