I just watched a video on permanent magnet vs. induction electric motors and made me think about what kind are used in F1.. does anyone here know?

From what I saw in the video, I guess having both is best case scenario, but I doubt that's the case, so I'm guessing they are using permanent magnet because they can deliver more power at higher speeds.
