The current F1 engines are the rule changes despite the again 1 000 horsepower feels like – possibly even the better side.This season in the F2 series in a rival Mick schumacher’s face was a wide smile to the life of the first F1 test at the end. AOP

Mercedes has been in 2014, the start of F1’s turbo hybrid era have a successful particular power source. The stable has won the last five of the season during all of the drivers and manufacturers world championships.

the Ferrari reached the Mercedes engine fronts only last season, and now the Italian is believed to even go to the dominant master of the first.

the Italian Motorsport website said that she made last weekend in Bahrain the engine-related measurements, and based on them, as well as Mercedes that the Ferrari reached the time-in time at best 990 horsepower. The same measurement on the basis of honda, I shifted the Red Bull is still quite far away, up to 40 horsepower.

Such a garage, the outside measurements are probably, at best, only indicative, but additional light nykymoottoreiden power readings I was already the beginning of the week, when the Mick Schumacher to get the first feel of the F1 car. Seven-time world champion Michael Schumacher son the test on Monday ferrari and on Tuesday, the Alfa Romeo.

the next test to commenting on Mick Schumacher gave the impression that at least Ferrari is already a magical 1 000 horsepower the better side.

– This can not describe in words. This have to experience for yourself. I enjoyed this 110%, and I smiled still. The car leaves the bend really well. It must, however, respect, as otherwise this will be dangerous when we are over 1 000 horsepower the mass, Schumacher says German Autobild.

Continuous development

Mercedes season 2014 used by the engine was clearly more powerful than any of its competitors. The engine was told to produce the at that time more than 800 horsepower. The next period kick be appreciably more, and Mercedes was again the number one 870-horsepower read.

Season 2016 Mercedes broke the first team as a 900 horsepower limit, and the season 2017, the reader was told huide already 950. Ferrari at the time was around 15 horsepower some Mercedes behind.

the end of the year 2017 Mercedes engine boss Andy Cowell said the garage was already close to 1 000 horsepower limit. Yet the most essential thing for Cowell had at the time, that Mercedes was out of dynamometer testing in the first time in more than 50% thermal efficiency. Cowell guessed that the corresponding readings can be from track conditions early in the year 2018.

the heat efficiency is F1 the most important, because the fuel flow is limited to one hundred kilograms per hour. On this basis, Mercedes in 2017 used by M08 EQ Power+engine held up to history, until the most effective race engine. Three years earlier, in 2014, the Mercedes from ”only” 44% of thermal efficiency to read.

early in the year 2018, The Mercedes was reported from dynamometer tests, already more than 1 000 horsepower. Ferrari insiders, Leo Turrini wrote at the time on his blog, that also Ferrari was reached that limit individual peaks as spikes. When in January were the test conditions already across the border, 1 000 horsepower was reached through time, most likely also on the track.

step backwards

This season the engine side came a small step backwards, when the International automobile federation wants to tighten its rule on how much and in what way stable you may make use of the oil in the engine its.

the F1-circles has become in recent years a familiar word bilemoodi, which is intended in particular Ferrari and Mercedes have a way to tear the machine of its time driving on the final section out of all possible. This has been achieved, inter alia, the burning oil all the tougher engine maps are used.

the New rules as a result of oil burning in this way is impossible, because the garage will keep the cars apuöljysäiliöt empty time-time.

the Current 1 000 horsepower reading is, despite everything, still far from what for example, the BMW turbo engine was reported to have been in 1986. According to some sources, the German manufacturer’s F1-the power source was at the time nearly 1 500 horsepower.
