The subsequent regulation change to a V6 design for the 2014 season reset all teams engine development...everyone started their V6 hybrid design at the same time.
The idea behind the original 4 cylinder turbo engine design was that this would bring in VW and or other manufacturers into the sport.
A plan that Ferrari were dead against because they didn't make a 4 cylinder engined car.
Mercedes wanted to stick to V8s
Renault were very keen on the idea. |
Well done Senor,
The article is dated Dec 2010 which gave all F1 teams two yrs (2012-2013) to develop the 2014 spec PU.
It's as if those that claim otherwise are unlearned....ok, perhaps uninformed.
