Formula One's governing body has announced that it has come to a settlement with Scuderia Ferrari after investigations into its 2019 power unit, considered the most powered in F1.
Well I used as a reference this tweet from one guy that writes for http://www.f1analisitecnica.com/hurril wrote: ↑12 Oct 2017, 18:46Where did you get those 20hp from?ripper wrote: ↑12 Oct 2017, 18:06Well IF it is true it would be a huge jump, but if you consider that MER pu has already more or less 20 HP more and still has many development months ahead, those supposed 50 hp might be sufficient "just" to be on par with the Germans. Assuming that they don't have other aces in the sleeve
Short translation: he says that there are about 20-25 HP between MER's evo4 and FER evo3Per vincere il mondiale, Ferrari non poteva aprire ulteriormente il gap di 20-25 CV tra EVO 4 Mercedes e sua EVO 3. Ci hanno provato
It is assumed that at least Ferrari runs with different types of oil, stores them in at least three tanks and, if necessary, mixes them in such a way that they are used as a performance-promoting additive in the combustion process. The rules do not prohibit the use of different oils.
The transfer into the cylinders is theoretically based on extremely low-viscosity oils, which create it from below on the piston rings into the combustion chamber. This would only make sense for the fast qualifying rounds. Over a longer distance, the engine would be affected.
The other trick is to use the gases generated during the oil / air separation as a power aid. They must be blown back into the intake manifold according to regulations. However, the consistency of the oil must correspond to that measured by the FIA before the race. Who intermeshes an oil with the other tank, has a problem with the technical acceptance afterwards.
The suspicion against Ferrari has been reinforced since the first pictures of the open Ferrari rear. The engine problems in the starting position revealed, among other things, the view of an elongated container above the cylinder head. Many would like to know what's in there.
What does the OVR button do at Ferrari?
An oil mix, which is generated during the driving operation by selective mixing of liquids, should be drained before the end of the race, so that it is not discovered during the technical inspection. The warning lights went on when Vettel was asked to press the OVR button three times in Monza. At a time when his position in the race was safe, he needed no extra power.

The 50HP number was given to me by a Mercedes F1 Team employee so I believe it.PlatinumZealot wrote: ↑13 Oct 2017, 06:43That figure is about right when you go from 47% thermal efficiency to 50%. They did gain a little under 50hp.

Far from it... but that made me laugh!
Impressive crimping technique.
