From autosport.com :

Engine:

  • the latest plan is for 1.6-litre four-cylinder turbo engines to become standard.

  • numerous energy recovery systems

  • power around 650bhp.

  • possible limit of engines to 5/driver/season

  • fuel flow rate limit is considered to ensure the engines are economical.

There’s a lot of fun stuff coming from FI F1. One of my clients is in charge of engine development at one of the main F1 engine suppliers, and just chatting with him is fascinating in relation to this subject.

I can’t wait for all this tech to filter down to our cars.

Johnny, NA has its advantages, but in 10 years or so, I think all cars will be FI for fuel consumption and emissions reasons.

Take that from a patent attorney who works almost exclusively in the motor industry.

but the tech is only being driven by EU emissions/consumption standards rather than by what would make the “best” engine from more petrol-headed criteria?
