i still can't understand how the least powerful engine requires the most cooling openings at the back of the car

They use the same amount of fuel (fuel flow limit), but produce more heat and less mechanical power than the others. Makes sense.

Yeah, less combustion efficiency, so less hp and more heat. Agreed.

If the ignition designs were good enough, less energy would be wasted, and if the design requires the engine to run hotter, they would do this by less cooling. Because once they achieve the fast combustion, the engine won't get that hot.

Another fatal flaw of the AMR26, it's green so they can't see the flow viz. No wonder they have problems. Rookie error!

Putting PU characteristics aside, you'll notice that the AM also has some of the smallest inlets. There are different ways to design a cooling system through the length of the vehicle: some go with small inlets and big outlets like AM, others go big inlets and small outlets like Alpine and Merc. It's just a design choice with trade-offs that each team will judge a little differently.
