the whole automotive market is moving toward hybrid-downsizing, F1 simply could not escape to the future. Anyway, my opinion was not about if new turbo engines will be successfull or not, it was about the unrealistic possibility to see derivated f1 turbo engines in endurance races in private hands if first the f1 engine manufacturer won't step inside (very unlikely).
Coming back to f1 engine, first it was a L4 turbo to introduce in 2013, ferrari lobbied and obtained the V6 delayed to 2014. Mercedes and Renault somehow agreed, so i can't expect a new engine rule breakout before 5 years at least.
