I'd be surprised. They are not designed for a long service life.
Rebuilt after every race.

If I remember right, Dave, it was a TV screening. I must go to
Bloodhound Web and have a look.

Ah. TV. Where every Rolls Royce wartime V12 is a Spitfire engine. ;-)

The thing with F1 is the engines are designed for the formula as it exists
at that time. Doesn't mean they are the best or easiest way to get the
required power output for any given job.
