12,000 rev limit on the smaller engine? Seems kind of strange to me.

They will have bigger cylinders, 400cc per cylinder vs. 300cc now. But you're right, it is relatively a much lower limit compared to the current one. A Ducati 848 does about 11,000rpm on 424cc per cylinder, with 7,500 mile service intervals. I reckon with a 12,000 limit the F1 engines will last most of a season!

I'm surprised to see so many people saying it will be weird having four-pot turbos as F1 engines... not all born after 1988 surely?
