It could have been a segment filmed for a piece before an F1 race, in the early days of his commentating with Murray Walker The V12 Maranello at the time (90s) was one of the quickest road cars you could buy. The F1 car made it look cumbersome and slow. When I watched that, all those years ago, that’s when I realised how serious and focused an F1 car was.

So if a regular engine with 25% thermal efficiency that produces 200hp had it's efficiency doubled, the power extracted from feul doubles to 400hp as well. Also, after that 18.6% and after all the inefficiencies of the rest of the drive train, only 6% of the energy in the fuel actually makes it to the wheels. F1 cars are efficient in that way as well.

@@thisisnotrealasdfasdfasdf1704no its not… in the end most of these employees are also kind of calculated in the car costs… if you buy a normal roadcar for lets say 20k. the carcompany needs to make profit on that… so the materials to build the car and the machines as well as the people working on it must be paid from the sales of the car… same goes for f1 but i guess if you deduct the salaries form the budget its still ridiculous… the car parts for one car are already like 15-20 million and thats without r&d… so total car costs back then were probably around like 50-100 million i would assume

little fact for you. The components are built in such a way that the expansion in the heat is taken into account and the car needs the heat so that the parts fit precisely. You must always have the car at high temperatures. When it cools down, the motor doesn't work properly and stops immediately because gaps appear because the material isn't expanded enough^^ Therefore, if you are ever in a car like this, always accelerate and drive fast.

So just to give you a little bit of context, Williams, a formula 1 team, who hasn't won any grand prix for more than a decade have a facility worth billions of dollars (if you are an american) Lewis is driving for Mercedes which is a team fighting for pole. (at least tried to). You cant just say a formula 1 car costs 400,000 or 1,000,000. Because an F1 car needs to run for an entire season. Without those facilities, those cars won't run.
