That is basically a drag race with a very long straight. 2 factor are important.
1) Acceleration off the line and through the gears.
2) Top Speed.
The crux, is that if there was such a race, the cars would not look anything like they do at the moment. They would remove all aerodynamics, just keeping enough downforce on it so it doesnt take off like an aeroplane. But if you was to say that the car must be within the currenty regulations there is only so much they can remove. Car setup will play a big part too.
Potentially any car could win this race, potentially even one of the backfield cars. Because possibly one of the reasons they are a back field car is becasue they can't generate enough downforce which you need to corner quickly. Therefore in a straight line it may work in their favour.
I would suspect a Ferrari or Mclaren would win, the "good" cars are good at everything these days. Ferrari and Mclaren have been the best 2 cars at all circuits this year and probably have the best Aero, Engine, Gearbox, top speed and launch systems of all the teams.
Some people mention the driver, well the driver will have basically nothing to do in this. An F1 driver or any driver for that matter earns time in corners, straghts are straights - there is nothing to do. The only influence the driver will have is the start and that will mostly be dependant on the ability of the car.

Impossible to answer unless the teams wish to publish exact specs on their engines... but in a 5km straightline, it would ultimately come down to top speed, with some focus on how quickly they could get there.
The cars would not resemble their competition forms at all as they would be carrying aero-packages to produce no downforce or drag, and gearing would all be set for top speed rather than aimed to match needed torque peaks at the correct spots around a track.
Teams that have successfully (and reliably) integrated quick shift technologies would have a small advantage. After that it would be which engine has the most usable power band, and the the most power (or the right mixture of the two).
Since the main difference in these cars is the aero-package... which would be nearly completely removed, the cars would be very equal. Some of the cars have the same engines as well... which means the race would likely be extremely close; probably coming down to things like the quick shift technologies and minor differences in the engine.
In the end it would probably still come down to Ferrari and Mclaren, with strong showings from BMW and Renault. The others though would all be MUCH closer (would be suprised in more than a few tenths of a second seperated the first from the last).

The one with the strongest engine and best aerodynamics. While its difficult to pick out the best engine, Ferrari definitely has a great engine, Mclaren has improved because of the rev limit, I dont think BMW is far behind, Renault too. There is no clear winner in engine side.
Its all down to the aerodynamics, creating minimal amount of drag. Ferrari and Mclaren seem to have that. Looking at the speed trap readings from races, it always been these two cars.

None of them clearly excel - however one thing is almost certain, and that is that the driver makes hardly any difference. F1 cars now have seamless shift gearboxes, meaning that changing gear quickly is not an obtainable skill, it's something that the car is just able to do at the flick of a switch. My money would be on the BMW, however considering past experience of doing a very similar thing, Honda already have data to work with so providing they didn't use this years crummy car they might win. Having said that, this years Honda has almost no downforce compared to the other cars, so they might just be the best of the lot even with the current car.

Ferrari for sure. Although Mclaren would stand a good chance seeing as to how they have used Ferrari data all year long.

In formulation a million you have 3 qualifying sessions previous to the race. It presently have a rule spoke of as the 107% rule so if a automobile is 7% slower than the quickest time set then they're taken out of the race and are not allowed to race. that's via fact a sluggish automobile on the right music ought to bring about crashes like Mark Webber's in Valencia. The qualifying is used so: a million- it supplies spectators a gamble to work out the automobiles at their quickest. 2- If a producer and motive force has executed incredibly properly they deserve an benefit. hence they do it extremely, to make funds and supply an benefit.

all of them have the chance to win ,if they have the right driver .in straight line shifting is the most important thing.however i say mclaren & ferrari

The Red Bull.

For sure it would be the Thrust SSC which currently holds the world land speed record at 763.34 M.P.H.
Compared to this your Ferrari is a snail
