    Who has the best engine this year? Mercedes, Ferrari, Red Bull or Alpine?
    They’ve all developed these engines to be the best they can be within the rules, but each have taken very slightly different approaches - so which one is best?
    We’ve analysed acceleration data from every race this season to see which comes out on top - and the order isn’t what you’d expect. Honestly, when we pulled the data together - all of us here in the office were a bit confused.
    And this in weeks race, power matters a lot. Azerbaijan has lots of HEAVY acceleration zones and a really, really long straight.
    Let's get into it.
    Now, we must explain first that these engines are REALLY close this year. The rules look to have done their job, with no clear frontrunner in terms of power.
    Which for the past 6 or 7 years, hasn’t been the case. Mercedes got it right with the new rules in 2014, nailing their Turbo-Hybrid format straight off the bat, leaving everyone else catching up.
    But they have caught up. We expect the majority of the teams have somewhere around 1050 horsepower available to them, and the difference between the best and the worst isn’t more than about 15 horsepower. So really not a lot.
    With that said, the engines do differ. So let's break down these differences.

    Huge credit and respect to Honda. Developing an F1 power unit is so difficult in general let alone a truly competitive one (just look at how long it’s taken Renault/Alpine just to climb up the midfield) So to see them progress from the most laughed at engine supplier, to showing potential winning that first race in 2019, to now being arguably the strongest power unit in F1 in just a few years is such an insane achievement. You can tell they worked hard for that.

They haven't had a single mechanical issue on the Red Bull cars this year so far except for a sensor issue on Perez's car, where he still finished 4th. Their 3 DNFs were caused by fuel tank vacuum issue and a broken fuel line, none of which were directly tired to the combustion engines or hybrid systems.

    In 2021 Merc did a trick
    Using early enough engines, to be replaced and then reused without penalty.
    It is a stochastic approach to the regulations.
    So they knew they could turn up the power levels, as they had precalculated all engines would be optimally used for the highest output if required. Yet with higher power level comes wear of pressure seals, causing loss of performance, earlier in the engine life cycle.
    Honda took a more conventional approach, preserving less wear on seals to maintain full pressure.
    It is a gamble, that almost paid out for Merc. All is a matter of compromises. Who overall makes the best most reliable choices, to be in play at every last 15 laps of a race, is king in almost all races, except for the odd 4 tracks maybe. Yet the 4 to 5 odd tracks do not count, as long as you secure podiums on all the other tracks.
    So you can have the fastests, most powerful engine, yet it may not pay off due to not being there with optimal pressure, when it counts: the 15 final laps.
    It is a percentage game projected over an entire season.

    Like eficieny,heat management,hybrid system,combustion stability etc..

    • @souffle01
      @souffle01 Pƙed rokem

      Efficiency, cooling, combustion etc will also translate in performance in racing. Some manufacturers could be running their engines a lot cooler and more efficient, but if it doesn't translate to higher performance on the same fuel loads, then they don't have a real advantage in competitive racing. Therefore it shouldn't be part of the equation IF you can't tell by the performance and reliability over time. It's about running in the sweet spot of those combining elements. If Honda runs their engine with a lower efficiency and higher temps than Mercedes for example, it wouldn't ultimately matter as long as they win races on higher performance without fueling or reliability issues. If anything, it would point to Honda having found the absolute sweet spot of the engine performance.

    It's quite an interesting result when translating the average to the median. All though the order is the same, it shows clearly who has the best engine power in general, as the median doesn't take into account the possible tune-up of the engine power in isolated races.
    Results translated from average to the median:
    Ferrari 2
    Honda 1
    Merc 3,5
    Alpine 3

    After all these years F1 might finally have reached the pretty good engine parity we had in the last V8 era:
    Ferrari seemed to have the most peak horsepower at expensive of driveability, fuel consumption
    Mercedes had fantastic driveability (which really showed in wet races for any team using the Merc engine)
    Renault had the best fuel consumption, at the expense of peak power, but led to them using less fuel over a race stint and it ran cooler as well allowing for aggressive exhaust blowing.

      Simply untrue, a bigger turbo normally spools up slower. However these turbos are combined with an electric motor so they don’t have a lag. Acceleration at 200 km/h is depending on torque band but more so horsepower of the PU. Grip is only at lower speeds the limiting factor.

    Scarbs makes a good point about the Mercedes engine. I'm sure they haven't forgotten how to make power in this formula. Maybe they're saving the power for when they get the chassis figured out, then will turn up the wick late in the year. This allows points gathering due to reliability and no grid penalties. Ferrari is already in trouble, and the season isn't half over.
    The hybrid power units are so complex, having the IC engine, TERS, and KERS, I doubt that their knowledgeable engineers would be able to give you a straight answer. What mode are you asking me about? What tune for a specific track? What if we are harvesting energy on one lap to deploy on the next lap? Or maybe we saved fuel throughout the race and will use it to overdrive the turbogenerator by injecting on the exhaust stroke. They have a lot of ways to make power.
