“There are no bad ideas in a brainstorm,” they say. Only a little less well -known is: “If there is a four -stroke suction engine that is not a radial, Formula 1 has tried it.” There are inline four, six and eights, 180-degrees eight and 12s, V-twins, V6S, V8S, V10S, V12S, V16S and H16S have been in natural sucked, supercharged, turbo and hybrid configurations.
However, most layout experiments are the ancient history. Let us concentrate on 1989+ engines, because they are probably the most famous. The “Turbo era” ended in 1988 when the FIA rusted in horsepower to prevent repetitions of the more frightening crashes. In 1989, 1.5-liter turbo V6s and 3.5-liter were naturally sucked up (N/A) V12S, V10S and V8s were inside (reduced to 3.0 liters in 1995). V12’s were initially popular because they have the drilling speed of birth and generate a wonderful thrust, but their size and fuel consumption were burdensome. Nevertheless, Ferrari F1 V12 have shouted that things have been made.
Lighter, smaller V10s took the place of the V12, but manufacturers reached the sun with exotic materials and precision production, so the FIA melted their wings in 2006, making 2.4-liter V8S standard. These lower development costs and emissions in the beginning, but by 2013 the V8s were seen as outdated, thirsty engines. In 2014, the regulations again changed due to F1’s push to carbon neutrality, back to the layout that forbade it in the 1980s: the Turbo V6. This time, however, the displacement was 1.6 liters and the drove lines became hybrids. Let us investigate the progression in more detail.
