What would stand out about Surtees' Formula 1 World Champion title today?
His age
His nationality
His Formula One title win after motorcycling
His horse power
Answer
Surtees' Formula 1 World Champion title would stand out today because his horse power was much lower than the modern Formula 1 cars. His car had a 2.5-liter engine that produced 180 horsepower, while today's Formula 1 cars have engines that produce over 1,000 horsepower. This difference in horse power is due to the fact that Formula 1 cars have become much more aerodynamic and have more sophisticated electronic systems.
