Ferrari Mailing List: 1000

[Rick Lindsay (richardolindsay]

Hi Friends,

I have read that the constructors intend for the F1 engines to produce 1000hp for the 2017 F1 season. Is that hopeful thinking from the engine suppliers, or part of a revised formula? And they use the term 'engine' not power source or energy system, but perhaps that's just generic semantics. Anyone heard any more about this?

Secondly, has anyone heard any news about Honda's appeal to allow all constructors to implement engine refinements during the season? I know its a loophole in the regulations that allow the other constructors to modify, but shouldn't the formula be changed in response to this loophole, allowing all suppliers to modify? Perhaps the ongoing drama is just to hype the media?!

And finally, anyone heard any more rumors, or rumors of rumors, about the 2015 season?
