You might be waiting a long time. F1 chassis are made of molded carbon fiber.
Cool article. It's nice to read that the team has its priorities in order, however the results may turn out.

So they are not running rev limited V10's anymore, is Cosworth now building a new motor from the ground up?
US F1 will be powered by a Cosworth V-8. The fact Cosworth decided to return to F1 for the first time since 2006 to compete against major automotive manufacturers is another sign of the changing times, where the emphasis will be on innovative technology without huge budgets.

Cosworth produced a 2.4 liter V-8 in 2006 that the Williams team used while Toro Rosso used the rev-limited V-10 that year.

And it was a pretty good motor too. Had fewer issues with high RPM vibration than the other guys.Quote from the article:

I've gotten the impression that until some date (January or February, when testing is allowed to begin for 2010), Cosworth is allowed to keep tuning their engine, and isn't subject to the engine freeze until then.
