Wasn't it Carlo Chiti that designed a W12 for the dreadful "Life" F1 cars, it had rotary valves, produced lots of power, but often didn't make it out of the pitlane, or even out of the garage.

If Max wants to encourage more "road relevant" engines, then they should return to conventional valve springs, none of this pneumatic or hydraulic stuff that they have at present.
