says that it is already dyno testing its 2014 Formula 1 engine for when the series switches to turbocharged, 1.6-liter V6 engines.

"It is a very challenging period for power train people. We are working on the 2012 power train and the rest of the season is very important, but no one mentions we also have to work on the 2013 engine with a new installation which is big work.
