I forgot to note that the above is an excerpt.
I am speechless.
F1 flubs...heh, let us all remember global warming...er...climate change...er...carbon pollution.
All reported to you by folks who found high school algebra to be beyond their diminutive abilities.

I was at Watkins Glen in 1977 when the 1.5 liter Renault turbo was the first and only turbo in the field. It sounded awful compared to the 3.0 liter normally aspirated engines. At the top of the esses where I was sitting it backfired whenever the driver upshifted, which was cause for a lot of derisive laughter from the crowd (this was when drivers moved a shift lever and worked a clutch).
Of course in a few years turbos were dominating F1. They were technological marvels, but nothing ever sounded as good as those naturally aspirated engines, particularly the V12 Matra.
How Much Can CNN Get Wrong About F1 Engines, Physics In One Article?

They hire the same sorts of cretins who can’t properly locate Buffalo, NY on a map over at MSNBC.
No surprise. Based on this, how factual do you think the rest of their reporting is?
Oh - “that” F-1.
I thought this was a story about the Saturn V engines.
When he was on Jeopardy, Wolf Blitzer thought Jesus was born in Jerusalem.
Here’s a link to a short, accurate description of the new F1 engines.

760 horsepower out of less than 100 cubic inches seems pretty amazing to me!
Thanks for the picture and info at what WAS at the site. CNN has since changed the article with this note at the end

I think CNN runs on its own exhaust steam..../s
