But if qualifing is 1 hour long at it takes 1 hour to fit a new engine wont that only allow teams to make 1 run? Good if it works out very bad if it doesnt.

After some searching the BMW was capable of producing and did produce 1200hp but it broke after 1-2 laps with 4bar of boost but im not sure if they did that again. But in race non of the teams ran over 950hp. You learn something new everyday.

I think its becuase the teams try to keep the details of there cars a very close secret. A 1.5L doesnt produce much exhaust fumes to power a turbo, so large amounts of boost cant be made, a modern f1 engine is very delicate(300km life) and large boost rules out many exotic materials and more...

Where are you getting your info from? Top fuel drag cars have 8000hp(atleast one that ran 4.5sec). And last years Ferrari engine was stronger in qualifing but slower in race. According to my sources. the 1987 winner Williams had 800HP. and the 1986 BMW had 900hp. 87 Ferrari had 880Hp,

No, They NEVER had over 1000hp, not even for qualifing. Not even pro drag cars have that much power/litre ratio. IF they had 1500hp that mean that they got 1000hp per litre. A pro drag car has a 13L engine and produces 8000HP or 616hp per litre. The Max they ever had is 912hp and thats the 2002...

Power comes down to how big of an exlosion you can get inside the cylinders. And on another note, A moden f1 car produces 912hp(2002 Ferrair) and they NEVER had more than 1000hp, during the turbo age it is only a myth that they had over 1000hp.
