This returns us to the discussion often had in the F1 threads about road relevance and GP racing. And why Renault was adamant when the current power units were being mandated that they should be relevant to their then current production cars. They partly won the argument, with the ICEs being 1.6 litres, but lost out when it was decided that they would be V6s instead of 4 pots which is what they wanted. They had even threatened to leave F1 if they didn't get their way.
