Hybrid Systemįerrari made decent progress with its engine last year and had a late-season boost thanks to an updated hybrid system intended for 2022, giving it confidence heading into the new campaign. The paddock scuttlebutt is that with the cooperation with the FIA fuel research, they may have had an inside track as to which layout is the most suitable for the new E10 (10% Ethanol) fuel mandated for 2022. This format could also have some cooling benefits, and the vast, sculpted side pods on the Ferrari could also make this format work better as the Ferrari engine didn’t seem to break a sweat. Not Splitting The Turboįerrari is the only team to have not split the turbo, making it more suitable for the new fuel.Įvery other F1 engine has opted for the Mercedes design using the split turbo layout, which they introduced in 2014, Honda introduced it in 2019, and Renault in 2022. Before this, the two teams had run neck and neck, and the McLaren seemed destined to win. It showed its future potential when the Ferrari noticeably pulled away from McLaren and earned P3 in the 2021 constructors title.
The introduction of the superfast ignition.įerrari’s new ERS system was introduced in the 2021 season and is a hybrid element and has an upgraded 800-volt energy store.įerrari used the component for the first time in the 2021 Russian GP. 
Significant gains in the Electrical Recovery system. The parts of the new Ferrari engine which seem to have the most significant impact on the performance are The E10 fuel ruins at a warmer temperature than the 2021 fuel, which imposes a potential reliability problem however, the Ferrari F1-75 seems to be immune to any of these issues and, in pre-season testing, ran more laps than the other teams and had no reliability issues. Mercedes and Red Bull have struggled with a power loss caused by the new fuel, and Ferrari has been romping ahead of the pack. While other teams have lost horsepower by introducing the E10 fuel, Ferrari has gained 25 horsepower over the 2021 unit. If this is true, it may partly explain why Ferrari has been least affected by the new fuel compared to the other teams. It is rumored, amongst other things, to have required Ferrari to fund and participate in the research of the development of the new fuels. In 2019/2020, the Ferrari engine was generally considered the best powerplant, but it apparently exploited several “grey” areas in the regulation and ultimately fell foul of rules.Īfter an investigation, the FIA responded by issuing technical directives concerning the fuel flow rates and sensors, which resulted in the engine having a severe deficit compared to its competitors.įerrari achieved an “understanding” with the FIA.

All three entities have seen a significant turn in their results, and while many factors may contribute to this, including the chassis and aerodynamics, the only common feature between the teams is the Ferrari engine.įerrari has come into the 2022-year swinging, and it isn’t just Ferrari customer teams (Alfa Romeo and Haas) languished at the back of the grid last year – have done much better teams and have placed the teams around them on notice. Nothing demonstrates this more than Red Bull and Mercedes, who both enjoyed extended runs at the top, and now in the 2022 year, it looks like Ferrari has the upper hand.įerrari uses their own engine, which they used by the Alfa Romeo and Haas F1 teams. 
One of the abiding features of Formula 1 is how teams who have dominated the sport for years can suddenly lose their position.
