As all F1 cars are underweight and carry ballast it has been confirmed by the FIA in 2006 that all F1 cars have a power to weight ratio of at least 1000 hp per ton. Theoretically this would allow the car to hit 60 mph in less than 1 second. However the massive power cannot be converted to motion at low speeds due to traction loss and the aerodynamics do not come into effect until the car is moving
