⚙️The Turbo Hybrid era introduced in 2014 changed the F1 engine regulations.
⛽Fuel efficiency is crucial due to restrictions on fuel usage during races.
🧪Turbulent jet injection (TJI) allows for leaner mixtures and better combustion.
How do F1 engines produce over 1,000 horsepower?
—F1 engines are compact and use a genius innovation that allows for more power in a smaller engine.
How do Formula One teams manipulate fuel to get more power?
—By creating a smaller chamber near the spark plug, teams can create a local area with a richer fuel mixture for better combustion.
What changes were introduced in the 2014 Turbo Hybrid era?
—The 2014 rules changed the engine size to 1.6 liters, introduced turbos, and restricted fuel usage.
Why is fuel efficiency crucial in F1?
—F1 teams have a limited amount of fuel they can use during races, so maximizing efficiency is important.
What is turbulent jet injection (TJI)?
—TJI is a method used to create lean fuel mixtures while ensuring consistent combustion and maximum power output.
