2014 F1 engines

[DrDrew]

Looks like they're going to be pretty good https://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/105080

125,000rpm turbochargers sound promising.

 

[lgonzalez]

Sounds sweet to me! Well excited for the next season, really intrigued about the engines should be exciting

 

[maggi200]

Is 125,000 a little optimistic...

 

[DrDrew]

That's a quote from Mercedes Benz high performance power trains, so should be reasonably accurate

 

[maggi200]

Woops. I read that as engine. Not knowing enough about charging I wouldn't know if that was unreasonable or reasonable :lol:

My bad

 

[LCplParks]

Looks promising.... Now will it fit in my twingo?

first rear engined twingo?

You'd need to talk to the renaultsport side. See if they're willing to do what they did for that Espace in the 90s

Sound of the new Units

And the mean machine itself...

 

[maggi200]

I can't remember if its been said or not, who's supplying Williams next season?

 

[DrDrew]

Williams have switched to Mercedes. $5million cheaper per year

:yawn: Very underwhelming compared to any of the previous NA versions.

Agreed

 

[maggi200]

Yet, had they stuck with the inline 4 turbos...

I think this sounds better...

But of course, the FIA went with Ferrari's shout

Another view of the Renault F1 Engine.

Sorry to bump an old topic but seemed pointless to make another one for this.


Glad to see renault are keeping there name to the red bull engine next year instead of letting Infiniti taking the credit

Hopefully it will increase renault brand as I don't think they got a good deal from it, on the subject of f1, there are rumours that with kimi rejoining ferrari for next season renault are interested in alonso and may make a Good offer for him, seen as ferrari have taken most of the lotus talent
