It wasn't only the quest for power which hampered reliability; making the engine as small and light as possible also had a huge impact. In 1997, Renault's class-leading RS9 V10 weighed around 120kg, revved to 16k RPM and produced about 750HP. Six years later: their RS24 V10 weighed less than 100kg, revved over 3k RPM higher and made almost 200 more horsepower.

Another factor is the reduction in capacity to three litres meant engines had shorter strokes and now could rev even higher, which manufacturers pushed even more aggressively to try and claw the lost horsepower back.

​@@bobbybishop5662 Driving aids and active suspension was 1st started during 87 with the lotus, but nobody really used it again until the actual era of electronic suspension + unlimited driving aids which was short lived only lasting from 1992 to 1993. So it's interesting you quit watching F1 because they allowed electronic driving aids for 2 years. They got rid of the driving in 1994, which made the cars extremely unstable and dangerous, leading Sennas death, ratzenbergers death, and others crashing too. The cars of 1992 & 1993 had completely changed designs and built them around the electronic driving aids, so when they banned it all in 1994, the cars and teams weren't really ready for it yet. However in 1994 and 1995....and 1996...and 1997....and 1998....and 1999.....it was found out teams were SECRETLY using traction control and launch control and potentially other electronic driving aids which were all banned since 1994. So the FiA made electronic driving aids legal from 2000 onwards until 2008. Then in 2009 it was back to the old school rule of ZERO driving aids again - until this very day on 2023-2024, they still do not using electronic driving aids. The reason the FiA re-legalized traction control & driving aids in 2000 after banning it all in 1994, is it turns out from 1994-1999 it was just way too difficult & hard for the FiA to regulate the teams and properly enforce those the no driving aids rules because the traction controls & driving aids could EASILY be secretly coded into the electronics and never be found by the FiA. Basically, the FiA legalized traction control again in 2000 because it was just WAYYYY too hard to catch the teams cheating, and many teams got away with cheating in 1994-1999. Ever since 2009 there has been NO traction control and ZERO electronic driving aids. It might be a good time to get back into F1. The traction control and driving aids only existed in 1992 to 2008. (And it was technically illegal in 1994-1999 but many teams cheated using electronic driving aids secretly). So yeah, I'd recommend giving F1 another shot considering the reason you stopped watching(driving aids being allowed) is not a thing that exists anymore and hasn't since 2009.

Did karting with Bultaco engined kart. Competed in various motor sports including international events. In F1 drivers had to adapt their driving styles as technology changed. When turbos used there was a big issue with the power lag which meant timing when to accelerate out of corners, too early you would spin, too late you were too slow. With hybrids many drivers were unable to adapt as well as others. Now with so much technology drivers input is not as important as within the regulations this can be controlled to a fashion. I have enjoyed motor sports throughout my life and now after loosing my wife, find my club involvement is all that keeps me going. Watched Ferrari film yesterday, great, this is how racing was, tough, building and financing cars was the problem, plenty of drivers to replace injured or killed ones.

On rally stage where a lorry was delivering a load of sand or manhole covers missing where the inside wheel should be. Workers in fields with armed guards making sure they did not look up to watch these mad westerners racing. We all have such memories.

I had the pleasure at my club track to witness the set up and drive of a Williams F1 car of a mid 90s vintage. It took 5 engineers to even get the thing ready to roll. The sound was simply glorious and being within 10 ft of it was deafening. When on track and screaming down the front straight, ear muffs were definitely needed even from the 50 yards where I was standing. Obviously the driver and owner was loaded, lol.

The powerplants in F1 don't produce 1000 hp unless you include the ~160 hp of the hybrid system. Over 800 hp from 1.6 liters is still impressive, but it's a long way from 1000. For perspective, the last turbo era was making at least that power during races (far more during qualifying) from 1.5 liters, but reliability was not exactly spectacular.

We never really figured out turbocharging reliably until the late 1980s. Passenger car manufacturers kept trying to push more and more boost directly into the engines without sacrificing fuel economy. Intercoolers, precise computer controlled fueling and over fueling to cool cylinders was the correct combination to get us to a full atmosphere of boost and beyond. The same measures could have been applied to these race cars and reliability could have been as high as N/A cars.

Although I am old, the young ones like the noise too as I found out at Silverstone Classic when I spoke to a young couple next to me whilst watching F1 of the past. Screaming engines, yes light and unreliable but fantastic technology especially in the valve gear and ignition areas in those days.

Great job on your F1 technological recap, lots of bullshitters everywhere but in every place you made a statement about a particular with the 3L V10 you’re spot on with my research, great job! These engines are insane, the tolerances are such that you can’t even start them at ambient temperatures, they have to be preheated before start as they’re effectively seized until they’ve expanded enough to actually run. I love that the current engines run 100x longer than the old v10, although they sure don’t sound as good.

This is excellent, a great video to show your friend who brags about all the torque his Ram truck has.

The myth that the tolerances are so tight that the engine cannot turn over is not true. The reason they preheat the fluids is to prevent premature wear.

Adding displacement increases the amount of air/fuel an engine can move. Adding boost also increases the amount of air/fuel an engine can move.

I'll vouch for the ear splitting sound. I was at the 2000 USGP and only made it about 2 laps before I needed ear plugs.😂

These engines also used massive bore dimensions and to stay within the capability rule they went for short stroke (very over square engine). This path to power will place epic loads on the pistons that are going to try there best to flip over in the bore while it’s running at 18,000 rpm.

Going fast isn't about making torque. That's why F1 engines typically had such low torque. It's about making power, which is a function of RPM. Hence, if you want to make the most power with a naturally-aspirated engine, you spin it faster.

@ccrider8483

When displacement is limited revs are free, but piston speed is limited to around 4500-4800 feet per minute. This results in very over square bore/stroke ratios. I have heard these ratios were in the order of 2.7 to 1 bore to stroke.

​@@HenAnt Wrong Torque is *nothing* but a force. Work is energy transferred to an object from a force over a displacement. Power is the rate that work is done. The example isn't flawed at all. It was meant to demonstrate the fact that torque does not imply work like you think it does. "torque that is already at work." This statement is complete nonsense. There's no such thing as "torque already at work." I can push with 10 lbs of force against a brick wall and it's not going to move. I haven't done any work because the wall hasn't moved. No matter how much force I apply, I will not have done any work until the wall starts to move. There has to be a displacement in order for work to have occurred. That's why torque is multiplied by *rotations* per second, and not just seconds. It's *not* a rate of torque over time, it's a rate of *rotations* TIMES torque over time. How much power do you make if you make 1000 lb-ft of torque at 0 RPM? You make 0 power. Because nothing is moving.

I wish they’d go back to regular engines and get rid of this hybrid BS. Those V10s sounded epic.

I was involved on the business side of the 2007-09 ING Renault F1 Team. I asked Pat Symonds the very question about the life of a F1 engine. He said they build engines to the edge of requirements. If F1 restricted teams to four engines, they’d build the same engines, just ones that would last longer. Pretty much what the video says.

Should have gone to our local Quik fit, they’d fix it and give it a lifetime guarantee! Most of the guys have worked at Williams down the road

All pistons in all engines are not round, that isn't something that is unique to F1. Pistons in all engines are all made in a slight oval shape so that when they get to temperature and expand they become round. The most unique thing about F1 pistons are the ultra short skirts they used to run which is another big reason these engines didn't last very long.

I wish that a team would allow one of their engines to be used in an experiment to see how fast it can be spun before failure occurs. At the end of a season, obviously.

I miss the turbo days, now it's about compression. An F1 piston is like $40k because the specs are tight. V10 era was screaming but the V6's aren't terrible sounding. But you can but exotics that sound the same and that's no cool.(5252 is the real magic number)

Funny how the younger generation (rightly) perceive how wasteful that was, but at the time we thought it was a massive improvement over the four lap turbo qualifying engines…

Today money is spent on testing the engines and setting operating/reliability/risk envelopes. Back then, they were maxed out and then rebuilt after each race. To make it cheaper, organizers should make standardized parts and engine rebuilds optional after each race; blocks, pistons, turbos, rods and ECU’s. For custom engines/parts, no rebuilds for X nr of races. During scrutineering the mechanics strip the engines off the existing parts and is handed a new set of parts to assemble. Of course with some important differences in fit and tolerance to discourage cheating.

@ilkkak3065

Back in days total cost of engines were cheaper cause engines didn't have to last long. Now days they need to do reliable engines to high performance and that's costly and at the same makes F1 boring.

I suggest researching the difference between tolerance and clearance

I'm aware this was a throwaway joke line but "no replacement for displacement... except for boost" is wrong. Boost is not a replacement for displacement. It's an approximation of displacement but not a replacement for it. Turbos have lag and importantly boost threshold. Centrifugal superchargers also have boost threshold and positive displacement units are highly inefficient. They consume more fuel than an equivalent naturally aspirated engine and require higher octane at that. Twin screws are a bit better than roots in this regard, but they all have their drawbacks. There is no replacement for displacement. It's important to distinguish that. Not saying that displacement is necessarily better - obviously that depends on your application, budget and of course personal preference. To get to my point, the saying "there's no replacement for displacement" isn't some saying that used to be true but no longer is. I used to think that, but the more you think about it the more your realise forced induction merely approximates greater displacement, it can't quite replicate it perfectly. So there is actually truth to the saying, much to the horror of many of my fellow JDM enthusiasts. My 2 cents.

Ah, the Kleenex engines: one for the race, a completely different one for qualifying, and one of your old leftovers for practice sessions. The teams had infinite money in the pre-GFC economic climate, so why not? In the V8 era, when they started asking the engines to last three or more weekends, the engineers responded by coating the components in DLC. That's Diamond-Like Carbon to you and me. Just incredible.

Oh I really wish you slowed down your chat speed and separated your words a bit more so I could properly enjoy this wonderful video. With the speed/diction it's gone into subtitles territory

V10’s 🤤🤤

As a side note: these engines weren't done after one race (if they didn't explode). In hillclimb events the used engines turned up - of course very restricted in rpm - and enjoyed their second life for much longer. They were probably relatively cheap to get and there was ample supply when each team used minimum two engines per race. So technically, they lasted a lot longer than 200 miles, just not with F1 rpm.

Great video. But the part when you say that F1 engines couldn't start at low tempetures because it would be seized is not true. It dosen't even makes sense... When an engine is designed to be as powerfull it can be with an displacement target it will generate more heat and more stress in all the mechanical parts of the engine, with ones are made of metals. Metal tends to expand under heat, so racing engines are build with loose clearences, the clearences are so loose that they cant start the engine when its cold and the internal parts are in normal climatic temperatures because the engine would destroy itself over as the clearences would be too loose to mantein an oil film lubricating the parts, even worse in this F1 engines that have an idle arround 4000 - 6000rpm. Besides that, great content!

Don't forget they had 3 cars(!) per driver before! A car just for qualifying with another engine that lasted just a few times for 3 laps, a regular race car and a spare car for each driver in case they crashed. The costs were up to the universe at that time.

I’d also argue that the technology and the rules the modern engines have to stick to are more beneficial for road cars, as is the tech filtering down into ordinary cars. Lower revs, greater fuel efficiency and greater reliability is whats best for road cars, not the tech that goes into making cars barely last 200 miles and arent that efficient.

Shame about the background noise - it isn't music and it is unnecessary.

during the turbo-era 1982-1988 the engines last only one lap in qualifying-trim. Same with qualifying-tyres.

V10 engine was more advance than the current v6 is, and the current v6 does not make 1k hp. The V10 lasted one race, because it that's how long it needed to last. Almost all pistons are not round when room temp. Also the "cant turn over when cold" myth has been debunked tons of times

The v12 era was the last era to actually sound good. The v10 and v8 cars sound *crazy* but not good to me. The v12 still sounds like a real engine and not a power drill.

They changed the rule this season, you are allowed 4 engines without a penalty nowadays

they even hat qualifing engines in the v10 era and they lastet a few laps

They never removed and replaced piston rings between qualifying and F1 race, where did you get that 'fact'?

A V10 with todays knowledge and efficiency would do 2000hp

Was 3.5L

They actually get 4 engines per season not 3 because of the extra sprint racing

Who does not know it???? General things

How can I watch a video that has no sound needs to be fixed!

Perhaps because the engineers were competent? Perhaps because they read the rule book and saw that an engine delivering max power for that time period was the optimal design? What an imbecilic question.

You are incorrect. These Engine were build to much closer CLEARANCES not tolerance. The tolerance is only as good as the Tooling. Are we learning yet?

Yet another F1 video talking about how the engine is seized when cold. This is false. Clearances are fairly normal but tolerances are really small. How would you build an engine if the parts don't fit when at room temperature? Preheating is to prevent startup wear and to get fluids moving.

When the v10s went I stop watching rip f1

Wow

We want the V8's and V10's engines to return in Formula 1.

Ahem Ferrari dominance?

There is no replacement bf Or displacement. Out boost on a bigger engine and your back to the disadvantages you had.

Oval pistons (6:53) are nothing new and not exclusive to F1 engines,

Those V10 engines makes me sexually excited

The F - 1 engine rule BS is so stupid = It’s Formula One ! That means incredible ! The fans watch to see incredible - TV $ pay to see incredible power , car & driver performance . If F - 1 cheaps out they will go the way of nascar . That is a downfall . Just look at the Fan base …. Streets are for regular vehicles ! Top tracks are what the fans want to see - in Person or on TV - Speed ! Speed draws the fans - street circuit is and should be a very rare One off type event when a suitable track is not available . Real , designed race tracks are what The race fans want to see good competition on . Plain and simple - cheap out with rules etc. and your people will wonder off to the real racing at Indycar and Score off road / Baja to get What they want to see ! Don’t continue to ruin a great relationship with your fans . Fans can be fickle and dump you like I have dumped nascar after nearly 50 years - My young Mechanic friends see it all the same way . Not surprisingly , the young women see it the same Way the rest of us men race fans see it going south ! Correct the poor trend before The attention span has run - out . After that point all the advertising money will not mean shit Because fans will already be on to the next “ latest and greatest “ Motorsport show that Captures their attention / group interests . Fickle is the term - be mindful or the sport will Suffer the consequences of stupid / greedy decisions . I really hope that this message will Possibly help governing bodies to understand , fans are people with money and passion .

This engine technology is what we are seeing in modern cars. 4 bangers putting our 400ish HP is just making them not last long and very unreliable. All for the sake of some mythical climate change crap.

The V10s weren't the best, during that era there was a serious lack of over taking!

Overtaking has increased due to DRS. Back then, they didn't have DRS in the V-10 era.

Yet it was still more interesting. DRS overtake is one of the most boring things I have ever seen. It favours the faster car and doesn't let the slower to defend its position.
