Top speed is variable depending on set up

I don't remember exactly, but around 2008-2009 BAR Honda's top speed was tested at a long straight in the desert, with a aero set up to achieve max speed. It reached 450kph.

Remember that most valuable feature of formula one is grip and acceleration, not top speed.

Mika hakkinen reached 350 kph in hockenheim, take into account set up for turning.

Also f1 engines were lowered from V10 to V8
