Apart from the moveable wing, the rest of the above doesn't come into play until 2013; next two years will still be V8's.

You missed the most important change - the team orders ban is scrapped.

750bhp from a 1.6

That's nothing. In 1986 a 1.5ltr BMW in-line four cylinder engine in the Bennetton of Gerhard Berger registered a flash reading of 5.5bar during qualifying for the Austrian Grand Prix. There was no dynamometer available that could measure beyond 1000bhp, which these engines were routinely topping, but engine builder Heine Mader calculated that 5.5bar was between 1300 and 1400bhp.
