It's a pretty big testament to how well Mercedes engineered their F1 motor in that they can just de-tune it a bit and stick it in a road car.
Granted they only rate the engine's lifespan at 50,000km before it has to be sent back to Mercedes for a rebuild, that's still 10 times more than it gets in racing trim so that's pretty good.
