They will be missed... still the new V6's will rev their little turbo's off to the sound of 15,000RPM (limited by F1).

And as for the speed factor of the new cars I will be looking to the past. In the 1965 - 1985 seasons 1.5L was the max capacity for a forced induction motor and they were putting out over 800BHP average in race trim (2 examples of 1300-1500BHP in practise and qualifying!!).

I'm 99% sure the new cars wont be much more powerful then they are now but the extra torque and less weight should make for more enthusiastic corner exits :P
