It's mainly to minimize/eliminate lag than for big power numbers.

These engines, with electric assist, turbocharging and electric turbocharging, promise to be extremely responsive. Couple that with lower fuel limits, and we could see some huge speed differentials between teams over the course of the race, as people go on different fuel saving and pace strategies.

I doubt this season will be all that boring. Not unless Mercedes or Ferrari runs away with it... but it doesn't seem like they will, at the moment. The teams seem pretty well-matched.
