Current NA 3L F1 is making about 830 hp at 19000 rpms. The torque there is 230 ft-lbs. Since no turbo or supercharger or nitrous, you just can't get much more torque from the engine. Even the torquey pikes peak viggen engine (like around 600 hp at 7K, 500 ft-lbs) will not touch this, as 2Slow's correct math would show.
'max Torque' is most felt in normal, lower rpm driving.
