What amount of power is too dangerous for Formula 1?

All that has to do with the power train, gearbox, clutch, fuels and lubricants, etc. Generally the mechanical side of Formula One.

Well first off if he's talking about it he ain't gonna do it,,,he's crying for help.
I can't go any deeper into this discussion because people choose to misunderstand and try to demonize rather than thoughtfully consider all sides of it..some of which I don't think some here fully comprehend.

Why?
1970, 917-30, that's why.... burned in my memory forever...

As well as the turbo years of F1. With todays safety standards, a revisit might be due where horsepower out does down force....something about a car being driven with way too much horsepower and tires/down force that can't keep up....

In response to the thread title; I think it's quite apt, with this BBC/Sky news; that Bernie's power is too dangerous :wink:
