Does anyone have any information on engine power for this season? What bhp are the top cars producing? How far down on power are the new Cosworth cars?

Are all the same engines equal? i.e. Does the Sauber have an identical Ferrari engine to the Ferrari team? Does Force India have the same spec engines as McLaren and Mercedes?

Given how easily Rubens cruised past one of the Toro Rosso's (I think it was), I wouldn't say they were down at all - certainly giving nothing away to the Ferrari power-plant anyway. Obviously aero comes into it too, as do wing levels, but clearly they're up there with the rest.

Jake Humphrey interviewed Patrick Head extensively about the Cosworth engines before the race, and Patrick very carefully (IMHO) avoided discussing the engine's power. He complimented Cosworth on their reliability, fuel efficiency, etc. but never mentioned power, and made the ambiguous comment "We're not quite where we want to be with it yet" ... which to me, indicates they aren't completely happy with the power.
