They are basically the engines as run in the last two GPs, and rev limited back to 19,000rpm so they should handle that easily. For example the cosworth was running at 20,000rpm.....that 1000rpm makes a huge difference in reliability at the upper rev limits.

We could have analyzed the situation a little deeper if those two idiots didn't crash into each other in the first lap!

There was only one idiot crashing into another driver............. Unless Webber was in reverse gear
