It still amazes me the amount of time in r&d these guys do. The fact they are constantly reworking designs to make a faster car (be that more power or not) is amazing.

Also interesting that the key focus is still more power. Wonder if we will ever see the 1980s style f1 turbo engines in any race series. I guess the control these days is too good for that to happen. Would be interesting though.

Also I wonder what teams would do with an open rule book on power train? Anyone have any thoughts?......

Good info. Most of us don't have those choices.
