Richter was very adamant about high revving engines which is not a characteristic of turbo engines. Richter left the door open for turbos (and diesels for that matter) if adopted by F1. So if the regulations for F1 cars allow for turbo engines in 2010-2012, then we might see a turbo M car in the generation after F10 / F12?
All guess but it is good to see how the head M guy thinks.

Hey TB, no worries.
I must tell you that we had a death in the family last week, very sad -- and I do need to overcome my anger and anxiety in said circumstance. I am sorry for my over-the-top reactionary viewpoints, I really do need to moderate my emotions (ironically, I do that fairly well on a steady-state basis).
In any event, as you mention, yes, I too hope that, with regard to the F10/12, cooler heads at BMW prevail. No turbos, please!
