The base size of a component is not called tolerance, that is dimension. There are however two types of tolerances when it comes to machining a part: Dimensional tolerances is the first which look at each measurement individually. Form and location is the other which handles things like parallel surfaces, flatness etc. (I haven't worked with manufacturing parts for F1 but for gas turbine engines and other high precision applications.)

[@AlfaRomeo156SWGTA]

There are calculations for strength and other calculations for fatigue. One can calculate the minimum dimension under static load. If overloaded beyond its stress limits a part will first yield ( and deform) then break and result in a stress crack. One can calculate the failure rate for dynamic load for example the minimal dimensions needed before failure of repetitive loads, this is called fatigue. Like a railway cart axle wont fail immediately, but will fail after a certain amount of rotations because of repetitive load cycles. A fatigue crack is fundamentally different from a stress crack. The standard safety factor for both stress (yield) and fatigue is about 1.5, so a part would be guaranteed to not fail by a 100% to a defined maximum of load cycles or rotations at maximum load with a safety margin of 50% extra rotations. By reducing the safety factor from 1.5 to for example 1.05 a part would be designed a bit lighter and still not break by dynamic loads. It is however a risky play, because you are operating a machine so much closer to the edge of failure.

Sorry but, completely disagree about refuelling. Turned every pitstop into a 15 - 20 second snooze. The current tire only stops add more jeopardy..

[@Real28]

@@W3ndal it doesn't. What it does is make every strategy predictable because the majority of the time in the pits is going slowly. It's the pit delta. So it ends up creating extra boring scenarios for 99% of the tracks where the strategies are entirely predictable. It's why we love rain so much. But further to why refuelling helps create more strategy, now you can choose to do full fuel, half fuel or splash of fuel. Where a pit delta with full fuel may take 60sec, a half load may be a delta of 40. It adds an extra layer of strategy. But you say, they'll still find the optimal strategy. Yea, they will. But more options means more possible paths to the outcome. Furthermore, Pirellis has made shit tires for a long time. Making them fall off so far and go from great to shit means 90% of strategies use the tire that degrades the slowest. Rare cases where the hard tire is worse do exist but the tires are so bad that without refuelling, the strategies (and best strategy) are _boringly_ predictable. Lastly, you may say "yea but with no fuel, if you mess up a pit stop it hurts". Which is your jeopardy comment. Sure. But define mess up? Over the past 5 years I can't remember when someone had a pit stop that was slower by less than a second to their rival where it actually mattered. The only times where a slower pit stop hurts is when it's really slow - like a 3sec turning into 6sec. And that's rare. So in reality, the pit stops aren't doing anything for the racing. The jeopardy just doesn't exist unless there's a huge screw up. They're only cool to watch from the choreography viewpoint. -F1 and motorsport fan for 35 years and counting.

[@Dharshanth.k]

As an automotive engineer, I can explain regarding the high *(revs)* numbers. The 4000 RPM on a road car is not the same as the 4000 rpm in a F1 car. Let me explain: 1. The Bore of the F1 engine is larger than a normal road car engine making the stroke of the engine smaller, thus the piston only needs a small amount of distance from Bottom Dead Center (BDC) to Top Dead Center (TDC) 1a. A typical road car bore X stroke dimension is from 79mm X 84mm 1b. An Assumed F1 bore X stroke dimension is from 95mm X 55mm 1c. This makes the distance from BDC to TDC shorter making the revs higher. Most car manufacturers now are not doing so because of the sound regulations that it has to meet. But yes, this is in simple terms on why F1 engines are such. But this calculation is for a typical 1.6L engine. To achieve higher revs in a bigger cylinder engine is relatively the same thing. Just increase the bore dimensions and automatically you will have a smaller stroke dimension. This calculation can be calculated in: *_(π/4 × b2 × s × c)_* b = bore dimension s = stroke dimension c = number of cylinders *note* : The calculation I made above is just for an example.

[@McLarenMercedes]

"The 4000 RPM on a road car is not the same as the 4000 rpm in a F1 car." Yes it is. For 4000 rpm is the same number of revolutions per minute. "A typical road car bore X stroke dimension is from 79mm X 84mm" Uh, what is a "typical" road car? No such thing and bore and strokes come in all sizes and ratios making them oversquared, squared or undersquared. "An Assumed F1 bore X stroke dimension is from 95mm X 55mm" You mean you didnt even look it up and just ASSUMED a random number. At the very least you could have checked that a 1600cc dispacement divided by 6 cylinders equals 266cc per cylinder. Your random assumption would make it 390cc. "Most car manufacturers now are not doing so because of the sound regulations that it has to meet." Which is a load of nonsense. Cars developed for economy tend to have more undersquared engines while sportier engines tend to be more oversquared but its far from being that simple or black and white. "But yes, this is in simple terms on why F1 engines are such" Are WHAT?? "such" ?? "But this calculation is for a typical 1.6L engine" What is a "typical 1,6L engine" Hondas, Toyotas, Volvos, Kias, Peugeots, Fiats etc are nowhere comparable. " To achieve higher revs in a bigger cylinder engine is relatively the same thing. Just increase the bore dimensions and automatically you will have a smaller stroke dimension. " Bollocks for you can KEEP the same bore and make the stroke longer or shorter and vice versa. Fact is that is what quite a few manufactures do. Higher revs means more power cycles for every second/minute. Hence more power produced. For 12,000 to 20,000 rpm to be possible at all F1 engines used pneumatic valve gear. Which you dont mention at all. What kind of an "automotive engineer" are you anyway?

[@anonymousontheinternet1309]

I thought the "F1 engines are seized when cold" was a myth? Great video either way

[@cuthberter]

I don't think they can be seized because it would make them really hard to assemble. I think the need warm them before starting is to get components to the right size before starting to minimise wear.

[@patrese993]

The shown Fiesta Mk8 ST has a 1.5l three cylinder engine. You talk about the 1.6l of the Mk7 ST (200@5700 with overboost) or probably the ST200 (215hp@6000 with overbosst, 200 without). Anyway, the limiter is higher than that.

[@importanttingwei7747]

great vid, thanks for the Ken Block mention.

Very interesting. Thanks for breaking it down. I also miss those sounds of earlier models.

You're completely wrong. The total budget is capped at 145 million for a season. For the full season of 20 Formula 1 races, each driver is allowed to use a total of 8 fresh engines. Do your math, it doesn't add up!

Y35 that sound is amazing. As always, love your analysis.

What best sums up current F1 power units for me is when Honda rejoined F1 in 2015 with McLaren it took them 4 years before they were competitive! This is Honda we’re talking about and it seems impossible that a company with their smarts and resources could take so long but thats how complex these power units are. I could go on and on but integrating the energy recovery/electrics, a single turbo V6, and drive by wire throttle and brake and having that make max power from 6000 to 12000rpm reliably for seven races is insanely complex and just takes a long time to get right for even the best on the planet. One thing you forgot was the computer/engine mapping that controls everything. Still doesn’t seem possible even months later that Ken Block died 😔

A formula one engine doesn't cost 10 Million. When you consider that for the 20-ish Million a year teams pay their suppliers, teams get 2,5-5 PUs for the season per driver (depending on reliability) plus PUs for the pre-season-tests and other test drives, it's probably only 1 million for the manufacturing of a PU (not including development costs). Some ball park numbers: 20 Million per year for two drivers, each of them needs 3 whole PUs for the season (really good reliability), plus one for testing: that's 8 PUs, so 2.5 million per power train.

If Latifi proved anything is you'll invest in massive amounts each year on top of the line performance engines...and still be Latifi (That's not to say he's not the goat, he'll be in our hearts and memes,forever)

Fantastic tech. This is why F1 is such a badass leader. I miss the sound of the screaming engines but, the tech involved in F1 is leap years in advance of any other motorsport.

[@grahamsalmons2027]

I don’t think the engines can be ‘seized’ when cold, as parts expand when they are hot. It’s just the wear would be unacceptable.

[@blgonzo79]

Cold seizures are real and exist due to internal mechanical failure or lockup or on rare instances foreign metal inside the combustion chamber. Also causes can also be attributed to the metal inclusions that were missed during UT and magna flux inspection.
