MitsuStyle - View Single Post - Goodbye 18k RPM v8's: F1 is Officially going Turbo 4-banger!

F1 did run turbo 4 cylinders and 6 cylinderss making a ton of power for 1 quick qualifying lap, then dropped the power so it would last the race.

As for limiting the boost I think they covered that by saying they can only have a hand full of engines for the hole season.

Its about cutting costs on one hand and trying to further develop products that could be used in cars of the future. Which for the most part is small displacement high MPG engines.
