Formula 1 cars are single-seaters with an open cockpit, with front and rear wings and an engine located behind the driver, intended to compete in Formula 1 events. The regulations governing the cars are exclusive to the championship and specify that the cars must be built by the competition teams themselves, although the design and manufacturing may be subcontracted.1

chassis design
Today's Formula 1 cars are built using carbon fiber composites and similar ultralight materials. The minimum weight allowed is 740 kg (1,631 lb)2 including the driver, but not fuel. Cars are weighed with dry weather tires fitted.3 Prior to the 2014 F1 season, cars often weighed below this limit, so teams added ballast in order to add weight to the car. The advantage of using ballast is that it can be placed anywhere in the car to provide ideal weight distribution. This can help lower the car's center of gravity to improve stability and also allows the team to adjust the car's weight distribution to suit each circuit.

engines

A Renault RS26 V8 engine, which powered the 2006 Renault R26.

The BMW M12/13, a powerful 1.5-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder engine that powered Brabham-BMW cars in the 1980s, developed 1,400bhp during qualifying.

The Ford Cosworth DFV engine became the factory powerplant for many privateer teams, powering cars that won a record 167 races between 1967 and 1983 and helping win 12 drivers' titles.

The tough but unsuccessful BRM H16 engine was a 16-cylinder, 64-valve engine that powered the BRM team.

High-revving Type 044 N/A 3.0L V-12 engine; producing 700 bhp at 17,000 rpm, and used in the Ferrari 412 T2 in 1995.

The most powerful F1 V12 engine ever: the Type 043. The idling 3.5L V-12 engine produced over 830bhp at 15,800rpm, and was used in the Ferrari 412 T1 in 1994.

The Type 053 engine. The engine produced over 865 bhp at 18,300 rpm, and was used in the successful Ferrari F2004, in 2004.
In the 2006 Formula 1 season, the International Automobile Federation (FIA) introduced a new engine formula, which required cars to carry naturally aspirated 2.4-liter engines in V8 configuration, with no more than four valves. per cylinder.4 Other technical restrictions, such as a ban on variable intake horns, have also been introduced with the new formula 2.4L V8 to prevent teams from reaching higher RPM and horsepower too quickly. The 2009 season limited the engines to 18,000 rpm to improve engine reliability and reduce costs.4

For a decade, F1 cars had been powered by naturally aspirated 3.0-litre engines, with all teams opting for a V10 design by the end of the period; however, development had led to these engines producing between 730 and 750 kW (980 and 1,000 PS)5 and cars reaching top speeds of 375 km/h (Jacques Villeneuve with Sauber-Ferrari) at the Monza circuit . Teams began using exotic alloys in the late 1990s, leading the FIA to ban the use of exotic materials in engine construction, allowing only aluminum, titanium and iron alloys for pistons, cylinders, connecting rods and crankshafts.4 The FIA has continually applied material and design restrictions to limit power. Even with the restrictions, the 2005 season V10s were reputed to develop 730 kW (980 PS), power levels not seen since before the ban on turbocharged engines in 1989.5

Less well-funded teams (the old Minardi team spent less than €50m, while Ferrari spent hundreds of millions of euros a year developing their car) had the option of keeping the current V10 for another season, but with a cap on revs to stay competitive with the most powerful V8 engines. The only team that took this option was the Toro Rosso team (AlphaTauri), which was reformed and regrouped.

In 2012, the engines consumed about 450 L (16 cu ft) of air per second (at 2012 rev limit 18,000 rpm);6 Race fuel consumption was typically about 75 L/100 km.6

All cars have the engine located between the driver and the rear axle. In most cars, the engine is a stress element, which means it is part of the supporting structure, being bolted to the passenger compartment at the front and to the transmission and rear suspension at the rear. 6

In the 2004 championship, the engines were required to last a full weekend of racing. In the 2005 championship, they were to last two weeks
