Default lets talk about torque

take a F1 car which has a is it a 2.5 L v8 so the torque cannot be much more than 250 to 300lbs of torque, but they produce 700 bhp due to reving to 20.000 rpm. I know the car has no weight and great aero, but how does this push a car to to 200 mph.

yes I know bhp is work rate, but you need torque to push you to that speed

please explain i dont get it
