If you ask me the way to get more passing is to ditch the ceramic brakes and go back to steel. That should double the length of the braking zones. Right now they're so short its impossible to get a pass done in time.
Oh, and about displacement, it's the same for this year, but the FIA wants 1.6L 4 cylinder turbos for 2013. Not entirely unheard of in F1, years ago BMW had a 4 cylinder that made 1500 hp in qualifying trim. The head was welded to the block. I'm sure what they're planning on will be more in the 600hp range though - and they'll sound terrible.

I have a buddy who worked for BMW motorsports in those days. They used to have semi trailer just for turbo selection!
