F1 switches from 2.4 liter V8 power to 1.6 liter turbo V6
power next year. There are also changes to fuel delivery and the KERS battery
system. Thankfully Ferrari is here to walk you through all of them.
This very informative video that tells us roughly nothing
about the inner workings of Ferrari's new F1 V6 does tell us a lot about the
impact the technical regulations are having on how they've designed the 2014
car and engine.
KERS will now be much more powerful, with a boost giving
roughly taking three seconds off every lap instead of the smaller amount now.
Reliability is a big concern, as are the fuel flow and capacity restrictions.
And, as they note, it'll be interesting to see how drivers go about managing
the relationship between KERS and the turbos.
