HOW POWERFULL FORMULA 1 CARS WILL BE ?
The new V6 2014 Engine are expected to produce the same amount of power as their 2006-13 counterparts, but with the addition of further power from ERS this will make the new engines more powerfull and effecient but will the drivers like it ? Well not at first, the have to get use to the new techonology and 2014 season will be a breakthrough year for Formula 1 and we might actually see someone else winning Championship rather than Vettel, but if he does we can easily rate him one of the best F1 drivers of this generation.
