Absolutely bollocks, MPG is one of the most important factors about formula one engines, getting the power is easily, getting it without drinking lots of heavy fuel you have to carry around with you is the ultimate compromise, and is the key to winning races NOT outright power.
..the dragsters again ,its built to do that job it doesnt need to do more
Built to do what job?
Work well at low rpm for the all important holeshot, or built well for massive top end power to carry the acceleration on to the end of the track?
The answer of course is a compromise of the two.
..the road car engine again is designed to do a job where is the compromise its economical fairly fruity and does what it says on the tin nothing more nothing less
Ah, the "road engine" as found in an FQ400 evo, a 1.1 fiesta popular plus, and a hummer, all doing nothing more and nothing less than each other.
