Four Cylinder Engines returning to F1 in 2013?
F1 website news:

Is anyone else torn on the upcoming engine change? Personally, I care about the environment and all, but I'd much prefer someone cancel NASCAR instead of cutting those precious F1 engines in half to save fuel.
I mean.. what's to follow .... silent electric-powered F1 races? When the planet's oil wells are almost dry, I want the last bit of petroleum flowing through the arteries of an F1 car and jet aircrafts.

Well, that said a great number of supercar advancements are made in the pursuit of F1. That said if they can turn F2000 engines into today's F1 superpower the options are limitless for future automobiles. Not only that but with the current state of downforce enhancements on an F1 car think of the challenge that this presents to engineers. This will make for and exciting build year more than anything. If you ask me, a curveball like this is what motorsports is all about.
