Talk:Formula One engines

message: This list seems to me to be useful, regardless of whether there's a full article for each engine. It needs linking from other pages though. I was interested to read it, but came across it entirely by accident. Some of the info could be worked into History of Formula One and Formula One Regulations, with links to this as a comprhensive list. It should also be linked from all F1 engine constructors' articles, etc. Spute 10:24, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: No, they put a ten year ban on engine development, that's right.  I don't know if the speculation about a new engine in 2011 should still be there, though. Bombadier337 (talk) 00:21, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

message: Great article, but this statement is incorrect:
"A shorter stroke enables the engine to produce a higher rotating speed at a constant mean piston speed but also increases the speed at which the piston must travel in each revolution."
Shorter stroke means the piston travels LESS distance per rev.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Brawn fan (talk • contribs) 15:41, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

message: It does not make sense to list this engine among the Formula One engines.
What would be the supporting data to do so?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by RolandOEL (talk • contribs) 19:36, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: It's actually a list of World Drivers Championship race wins per manufacturer, and therefore includes the 1950-1960 Indianapolis 500s, which were all won by Offenhauser-engined cars. I've retitled the section and added a footnote to clarify. DH85868993 (talk) 03:08, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

message: It would be nice if it a very basic description of F1 engines was listed, i.e. are the SOHC,DOHC or Pushrod OHV??  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.11.91.140 (talk) 04:28, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

message: Should Ferrari's 5 wins using the D50 in 1956 be credited to Ferrari engines or Lancia? Obviously the engine in the D50 started out as a "Lancia" in 1954, but the point at which it became a "Ferrari" engine is perhaps not as clear. FORIX (subscription site), StatsF1 and ChicaneF1  all credit the 1956 victories to Ferrari, giving Ferrari engines a total of 222 wins (and Lancia engines 0 wins). I suggest we do likewise. Opinions? DH85868993 (talk) 12:45, 24 March 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: If they are counted by all the normal sources as Ferrari wins, then we should indeed be doing the same. I suggest making sure the Lancia/Ferrari re-badging is explained on the relevant articles. QueenCake (talk) 19:10, 25 March 2015 (UTC)

message: The Operation section says that F1 currently uses 1.6 L engines. But the Short stroke engine section says a relatively large bore is required to make the 2.4 litre engine displacement. The table at the bottom gives 1.6 L. Is the reference to 2.4 L just a holdover from the previous formula? Molinari (talk) 20:28, 26 October 2015 (UTC)

message: If you switch 'alcohol' and 'gasoline' columns, then the table notes read better. Currently, note 4 talks about the alcohol in 'pump gas', but the term pump gas is explained in note 5. 
I don't really understand table editing, so if you agree and could make this change, I would appreciate it. ike9898 (talk) 15:28, 27 March 2017 (UTC)

message: I’d like to see some talk about what “hybrid” means; particularly in an F1 engine. There’s almost nothing at Mercedes F1 W05 Hybrid or W06 (or anywhere). No article (for F1) even says what it is a hybrid of.  MBG02 (talk) 21:29, 30 August 2018 (UTC)

message: I noticed that this list still mentions that in the "new engine suppliers" it talks about how the VW group is still deciding between Porsche and Audi. But it has been announced already that Porsche will not be entering in 2026 and it appears to be in this page as well in the last sentence of the 2026 onward section.  Dont know the best way to put it down, so just wanted to bring this to peoples attention.  Stitch2088v2 (talk) 05:27, 14 December 2023 (UTC)
