The 1950s F1 cars used all sorts of engines, from custom-built inline 4s, to pre-war v8s. The only regulations were a limit on engine displacement, 4.5L if it were Naturally Aspirated and 1.5L if you fitted a supercharger.
They produced around 425 horsepower, meaning they produced 94 horsepower per litre. Oh, and keep an eye on that number throughout this video.
In 1954, they tightened restrictions and only allowed 2.5 litres, naturally aspirated engines - cutting power to 290 horsepower. However, the teams got creative with engine layouts - keeping efficiency comparatively high. [116HP/L]
These were some of the best years for variety in F1, if you looked through the grid, they were running inline 4s and 8s, V12s and 16s and even a huge V-twin!
However, all of them were incredibly heavy, meaning the cars produced huge understeer - forcing the drivers to neutralise this by mostly drifting around corners.
This was also the decade when F1 first used mid-mounted engines with the Cooper T43. This got rid of the massive understeer the front-mounted engines produced, as they placed the centre of gravity further back in the car - naturally creating a more oversteery balance.

Thanks for covering the H16. BRM had revolutionary engines and this was a marvel. The 1950's BRM V16 engine was ahead of its time. "The potential of the engine was illustrated in 1968 when Graham Hill drove the car in a demonstration in South Africa, the car being fitted with the original, larger, Rolls-Royce supercharger inlet. Hill revved the engine to 13,000rpm, at which point Rudd thought the engine would have been producing around 780 bhp."

The 1989 shift to natural aspirated engines made a huge discussion at school in my teens. Naturally, we kids were experts on F1 - and the teams knew nothing about cars. Oh - we were also experts at driving. That one went out the window the second anyone of us started to train for a driving license. Apparently a Volvo 740 or something like that are way harder to drive then we thought.

Turbo era was best ... very uneven cars and engine characteristics. And hard to keep the perfect route, every corner was an opportunity for overtake. And immense amount of power, even taking bad route, but getting on power early could win you a corner. 90's were still pretty good, I sort of lost interest after death of Ayrton Senna. I occasaionally watched Schumacher's perfection in late 90's. But then it became really boring sport with very little action.

I think it would dull the pain for me if they allowed teams to have a separate engine, of the same exact configuration, that they are allowed to blow up for each qualifying session. Allowing teams to go full 'balls to the wall' and really push/understand the limits of the motors, while still maintaining the whole lasting 1/3rd of the season requirement for the race engines. It would be cool to see what they could do, but without the risk of running them wheel to wheel like that. Plus I dont think their speeds would be that much beyond what they already are, given they would still have to maintain all the other power-inhibiting restrictions besides keeping the motor alive.

2009 KERS systems didn't take energy from the actual brakes to charge the batteries but from the crankshaft. When the car brakes a proportion of the rotational force is captured by a electric motor / generator (MGU) mounted at one end of the engines crankshaft. This MGU converts the kinetic energy into electrical energy which is then stored in batteries

That’s what the FIA wanted at the time because they thought the V10s were too powerful and too costly. A huge mistake. FIA basically lopped off two cylinders and ultimately rev limited them, set the bore size, eve angle and mandated it weigh 95 kg. They were massively underwhelming and painful to watch having come from the V10 era. A big mistake but they got the costs down to probably a third of the current hybrid power plants, which were a huge mistake too given none of that tech has made it to road cars,

I think you missed the 2006 part when a V8 2.4 with 7 gears is stricted to every team before the introduction of KERS. That year, there isn't any rev limit yet, which leads several talented manufacturers like Cosworth, Honda, and Renault to strike high above 20K rpm. Until in 2007, where all engines are restricted to 18000 rpm.

I love the new series. That said, while I understand the drive to produce shorter KZfaq videos, and I could be wrong, but it seems like content is shaved off to shorten the videos. Some of these videos are highly technical and while the Ipad visuals are especially helpful, I would like to see longer videos, given the technical nature of the content. Having a driver that has actually driven F1 cars and has continued his career by teaching others, well.....the content is amazing. I'm a grandmother and I know nothing about cars other than you put gas in them, regularly get the oil changed (at a quick-lube-esque facility), check the air in the tires....that's about it. Mechanical knowledge is also pretty much zero. But when you guys take time to explain, especially with visuals, my enjoyment of F1 is improved, dramatically. (Incidentally, this is also true for Driver61's occasional videos re MotoGP where I experience the same issues and where it helps to have things explained like the dangling leg for example). In short, Driver61 has played a big part in me becoming an F1 and even MotoGP fan and is definitely responsible for my growth as a fan, a most unlikely area of entertainment and enjoyment for someone like myself. So, longer videos, and simply keep up the good work. I can't be the only one benefiting from it. As one of the commenters noted below, this is what I wanted WTF1 to be but never was :-) .

@@tony_5156 "way better" is a stretch. Having watched both modern F1 and WEC in person, F1 cars have PLENTY of volume while the only WEC prototypes that sounded good were the toyotas. Audi's were virtually silent thanks to the diesel tech.

Agreed; they were the highest revving engines in their introduction in 2006. Running over 20k revs is insane

Your comments about the engines producing around 1400hp for qualifying and 800hp for the race combined with ground effect systems, sending speeds through the roof is a little misleading. Ground Effect was banned after 1982 and at this point the most powerful turbo engines were producing 600hp at best. In the following years engine power did increase to the levels you state, but not in the ground effect era.

It's insane how long they make those tiny turbocharged machines last. In 1982, Rosberg won the championship driving the only naturally aspirated engine. He only won one race but the unreliable turbo engines suffered regular breakdowns

Nice. A good summary of different type of engines used throughout F1s history. Fantastic engineering involved in all of them, irrespective of how reliable some of them were. Just a tiny nit pick, the water injections primary purpose was not to cool the block but to cool the intake charge (compressing air at up to 5 1/2 times it's original volume tends to make it heat up a lot) to help control the combustion process. A secondary effect would be to help cool the engine, but mostly pistons and valvetrain if that were the case.

No, lotus were the first to use the engine as a stressed member in 1966, with the BRM H16 engine before the lotus 49 in 1967 widely credited for setting the template for using an engine as a stressed member. The ferrari you mentioned only had the engine as a semi stressed member, still supported by the chassis itself.

It would be cool if they reintroduced differing engine sizes. You can pick a 1-liter 10-cylinder, or .8 liter 12-cylinder, or 1-liter 4-cylinder but are allowed 2 turbos... stuff like that. Smaller but more cylinders allowed, cut the fuel flow down 20% but allow a 40% larger electric system, etc.

I like this series a lot! How about covering aerodynamics? I noticed in the Ronnie Peterson museum in Sweden, sadly defunct now I think, that the March cars used regular round steel tubes for the suspension, but the Lotus used handmade, flatter "tubes" welded together from two separate, handmade pieces, giving them a more aerodynamic shape. Also, the Lotus used torsion bars hidden inside the car, to lower drag. While most other cars still used coiled springs outside of the car, where they increased drag. All those details are fascinating, once you get them pointed out. Please continue this series, I like it a lot!

V10s were the best sounding engines. The era between 98-2006 was the best f1 you would ever see. Not only did the cars sound good, they looked nice as well as way more openness between development of cars then what we see of today's f1 cars.

1:44 also worth noting that moving the engine further back also causes it to be closer to the centre of gravity, thus reducing yaw moment of inertia, further improving the car
