2014-2020 Formula One 1.6l V6 turbo engine formula

All that has to do with the power train, gearbox, clutch, fuels and lubricants, etc. Generally the mechanical side of Formula One.

Has there been any thoughts about how the power output can be influenced without changing the engine maps. Could it be possible to use some sensor input to “detect” conditions were a flying lap is started or the first lap of the race.

Changing maps is not allowed, but when such characteristics are built inside a mapping, it is allowed.
The conditions that you are talking about, can be fuel level? What restricts a piece of software (an engine map) to read the fuel level and accord the power output? In quali, when the car is fueled light, the software can run more aggressive internal map (one of the subsets of configurations in an engine map) and at the start of the race, it can run a different, conservative one on the basis of heavier fuel load. None of it requires a manual input from driver. Is there a rule that explicitly stops such a circumvention?

Simple. The driver presses the overtake button on the steering wheel which gives them max output for as long as they are WOT. Listen to HAMs radio right before they restart the Abu Dhabi farce, Bono tells him that he has overtake.

The overtake button signals the ecu to override the current engine mode setting and instead use the maximum output setting.

So near the end of the race as the fuel load lightens it goes into the aggressive mode?

But isen't going into an agressive 'mode' a change of power unit map selected and approved to race on?.

Which is good right? Atleast in the current circumstances everyone would be trying to go for the fast lap point at that stage. With the current reliability of the engines, they can do a couple of more "quali" laps at the end of the race.
Besides, you can code a variety of combinations in the software to accurately to control it. For example, you can add a counter in the software that can record the number of laps done (or mileage in race?) and use that as an additional parameter for decision making parameter about enabling/disabling the aggressive configiruation. You don't do more than 100 kms in quali (Q1 to Q3) Vs more than 300 kms in races. If the counter reads >300, then don't enable the aggressive mode even if the fuel remaining is < 10kg.

switch(mode) {
case remainingFuel < 10kg && mileageDone <100:
enableQualiMode();
break;
case emainingFuel < 10kg && mileageDone >100:
keepRaceModeOnly()
break;
default:
// code block
}

F1 engineers are really smart people and who knows, probably we are way too late to this party! This might already be happening, quietly.

Okay, how about autogyro's idea but with mechanical coupling?
So you have the turbine on the exhaust side, then a propshaft going through the engine, probably through the crankcase. The compressor is then on the intake side.
The intercooler goes on top and fed by the usual roll hoop ram intake

Benefits:
- shorter exhaust manifold
- shorter intake path
- vertical cylinders (better in terms of wear?)
- smaller footprint like a 2.4 V8

In the most recent regulations, 15 Dec 2021, they have slipped in another restriction
5.2.14 The power unit may be equipped with a maximum of two wastegates and two pop-off valves.
Anyone any theories as to why this needs controlling?

I doubt if that is allowed. Overtake button is probably only for deployment of the ERS battery. So it will override any pre-programmed deployment schedule and give full deployment, until released or empty battery.

Do you know a regulation that disallows max output with overtake button?

Yes. fully agree that overtake button deploys 'ERS battery'' full battery power in store. it does not change power unit mapping selected and approved to race on. Full battery power can be used in two ways, the first way is deploying full MGU-K power permitted by rules, and the second way is full battery power can be shared by MGU-k and MGU-H (both in motoring mode) with the waste gate/s open (electric supercharger mode).

Some words from Merc almost confirmed that they found idea from outside. I guess some Merc engineer saw that here and pitch the idea to Cowell. Back in 2014 we all were humbled and dumbfounded how genius his pitch was. =D> I pitched stupid idea of overhead exhaust LOL Witch Ferrari sorta emulated and ditched after 1st season LOL

Controlled, pressurized air could be used for aero benefit if not contained I imagine...

6 BoV's aimed at the diffusor might be helpful! 😂

Is there any way it could be used to warm rear tyres?

By the way. He was talking about vertical cylinders. Was it still supposed to be straight fours at that point in 2010?
