Actually, because of the large RPM most equations do not apply to F1 engines. Most of the reports I have read suggest that most F1 engines produce from 830 to 900 hp at 17800 to 19000, And the MOST Ft-Lb torque i have hear is about 220. Now i do admit, i don't know what i was thinking playing the Ft-Lb torque so low, i should have put it around the 18K range.
And even using the basic
HP = (TQ * RPM) / 5250
850 = (250*17800)/5250
So that would be 250 tq at 17800.
But as i said, equations arn't that good, and I don't think that F1 engine are even producing that much tq, most are around the 200-220 mark.
I know that some people would rather have alot of tq and hp, and i do love the ka tq, but if i would have a race car, i would want revs.
