Formula 1 champions and their cars! How the cars changed over the years

[@MKF1_official]

Please take info about bhp as estimations, there is not much out there, as well the teams do not like to share that info :)

The data really cannot be known in concrete terms, sometimes the horsepower is a little more, sometimes a little less, but sometimes there are huge differences (from reality)! 1. In 88 was big performance limitation! MP4/4 was ~675 HP, not 900. 2. In 02 the Ferrari was 823HP, 03 920 and 04 852....interesting, not logical. 3. The Mercedes from 2014-2016 is 600 HP and from 2017-2022 is 740....this is more than interesting. Performance has increased steadily, today the engines is ~900HP and +163HP from hybrid system. Toto said in 2017: The engine is 109HP stronger than 2014 version! If it had 600 hp in 2014 and increased by average 40 hp per year, the result will be the 2021 performance!

@@AndorFazekas Interesting to note that the cars from the mid-80s and early 90s often ran with a higher amount of boost on the turbos for qualifying runs, sometimes power would exceed 1200hp in these scenarios.

@@thomasobiwan72..45 Yes true

[@MKF1_official]

Yeah that is also true, they were changing engine essentially each sessions so they could run them to the limits.

[@blue0856]

But nowdays it's near 1020 hp right?

You have many of the wrong cars on here. 1981, 1982, 1984, and 1987 immediately stand out
