  • @UShouldReadABook
    @UShouldReadABook 6 років тому +11

    Actually, in order to optimize energy saving against lap time, the ECU can control the torque delivered if maximum torque is requested by the driver (100% throttle). Furthermore, the torque is controlled by deciding on the torque split between MGU-K and ICE. There are several papers on that topic.
    So engine mapping is only 1 part of the equation with the current powertrain architecture

    Could you explain the limit that Renault gave Red Bull for their “Engine mode” on the engine near the end of the race? (Japan GP) It was on radio, when Max was behind Bottas? Is it regulated by the sport, the team, or the engine manufacturer? 🤔

    • @H18136
      @H18136 6 років тому +61

      Renault will effectively tell the teams it supplies "you can put this many minutes on this engine on setting 7 and this many on setting 5. More than that and you run the risk of it failing and your race is over". It's advice from the engine manufacturer, but as a team you don't /need/ to adhere to it - it's not a rule that is enforced by anyone - just some advice from the people who build the power unit.

    • @pkscarr
      @pkscarr 6 років тому +7

      basically ^ this. F1 engines are very precisly engineered for both power and weight saving, and just like your own road cars components will fail faster when driven too hard for long periods of time. This means that the engines reliability across a race weekend can often only be estimated, and the manufacturers give guidelines to the teams using their engines as to how long you can run an aggressively push an engine before it's risk of faliure becomes too high. The current rule limits on how many engines you can use per season as well really push the teams to follow these guidelines and conserve the engines as much as possible.

    • @rjfaber1991
      @rjfaber1991 6 років тому +3

      What such a mode is will depend on what the ECU is programmed like, but generally speaking, such a mode will push way more fuel through the engine than would be sustainable for an entire race given current fuel limitations, and most likely also completely drain the battery without bothering to charge it up again as you normally would. How exactly it directs the MGU-H I wouldn't know, and it is an interesting one, because there will be a sweet spot in using the electric energy, between driving the turbo to eliminate lag and making the combustion engine work as well as possible, and driving the wheels directly.

    Hey chain bear 👋
    Another very interesting video, thank you for your time and effort.
    In this video I had a first time of confusion while your explanations.
    @0:30 your drawing displays a throttle with arrows from the fuel tank to the engine. The combustion engine in f1 has direct injection, hasn't it? Wouldn't it be more precise if the throttle only controls the input air as the fuel is injected directly into the cylinders?
    Even in the audio you state the throttle controls air _and fuel _...?
    PS: never mind, you said "way back in time" overheard it, sorry 🙏.

    Good video. But I think they don't have a throttle valve anymore as even a fully open one has a drag. I think they control the torque by the MGU-H as a throttle and a very low fuel mixture as they don't have enough fuel to slow down the engine by too much fuel.

    @OGSomeOne 4 роки тому

    While this basics are correct, the idea that the most torque is being produced at the greatest rpm is not right. Most engines don't work that way. This is why you have a torque/power band graph. The power band will usually cross the torque line twice. Once at the beginning of the power band's optimal low rpm output and again as the power band peaks out and output starts to fall. Usually, the tachometer is calibrated to red line shortly after the power band peaks because now you are over-revving the engine and this can cause damage.

    The one subject that I would love you to cover is why is F1 so boring to watch. Don’t get me wrong I love the sport but in the last few years its become too predictable. It’s great to see Lewis winning again from a fellow Brit to another, it’s the fact that the competition isn’t exactly brilliant. It’s almost like PSG in the French football league winning everything yet the other teams are just there for the sake of it, except Vettel. The whole sport needs to be on a level playing field so that 5 - 7 teams are in the running rather that 2 - 3 as it’s been for the last few years, and even the half way through the season it down to two drivers. F1 has to do more to make the sport more enjoyable to watch as a fan. What’s your thoughts on this subject.

Question for you both: is Formula One driving today too complicated with twenty and more buttons on the wheel, are you too much under effort, under pressure? What are your wishes for the future concerning the technical programme during the race? Less buttons, more? Or less and more communication with your engineers?

    • @rjfaber1991
      @rjfaber1991 6 років тому

      As I understand it, they can do that, and the rule basically just means that the highest point in the torque curve needs to be reached when the throttle is fully down, so it's not "100% torque" as such, it's just to make sure there is a certain linearity in the torque curve, and it doesn't have peaks and dips in places where the teams might otherwise want them. Then again, unlike a diesel engine, which has a massive early torque spike and then drops off, a petrol engine will always tend to have higher torque at higher throttle inputs unless the mapping is messed with very significantly, so this could also just be a way for the FIA to guarantee "natural" behaviour of the engine.

    I think you mix torque with power. Max torque is never() at max rpm, or even in the higher regions of rpm, it's way before. Sure f1 engines will be tuned for high rpm(intake runner lenght), but still, it's max power in the higher rpm, not torque. Fuel injection(s) per (2) revolution(s) will be higher in lower max torque rpms, then at higher rpms...
