F1 engines are excellent at the moment. Us oldies that love the V10s whinge a bit about the noise, but you can deny that they deliver 1000 horsepower, are extremely efficient with their hybrid systems and do it all without using more fuel than your Corolla (not actually true, but you get my drift).
But, Formula 1 could be banning the MGU-H in the 2026 engine regulations. And that’s a bigger deal than you might initially think.
Its going to ruin the drivability of these engines, and likely make them less efficient. So let me explain whats going on, and we can decide together, whether this is a good or a bad thing.
Lets go.

Along with the MGU-H, variable trumpets have been banned which will affect the throttle response and entire power curve. I think F1 like the rest of the world are relying on the electric power train to solve everything. What they don’t realize is if we wanted an all electric motorsport we’d watch Formula E. Making the cars harder to drive by limiting them is the wrong direction for F1.

yes and no. Formula E contributes very little to electric car development as its mostly off the shelf roadcar components. Its mostly a marketing and advertising gimmick. And part of that brand is cheap and cheerful, hence why they're able to go into these developing countries' cities. Different market segment too. Formula 1 have and will always be a flagship sport. Even if F1 does go all electric, it will be 1000+hp 350kph electric prototypes racing in premier tracks and destinations while attracting (and spending) billions. I would even argue that the E in Formula E actually can stand for Economy. Electric single spec-chassis single seaters adds to this "economy" brand since the cost to manufacture and maintain one is considerably lower than even junior single seaters from the lack of moving and explodey bits.

​@@wiryantirta Formula E is also E-volving ;) Yes, it was all single-spec and off-the-shelf in the beginning to keep entry cost low and promote competitive racing to attract fans (=money to sustain the series), but with Gen2 they already left the design of engines and power trains to the teams while keeping the same battery, which helped a lot in testing out the most efficient power train setups. Hopefully they will keep opening up other parts of the car for individual design in the future (e.g. limit battery weight and/or dimensions but not capacity). Audi and Merc already left the series to focus on F1 because they felt they had achieved their R&D goals and it wasn't beneficial anymore for them, so the message to Formula E management was pretty clear.

​@@gavcom4060 literally Scott said in the video that no road car uses the mgu-h. But if we want to go deeper into that, this is one of the biggest lies about the 2014 engines. The idea FIA presented was that they wanted a new engine that would appeal to new manufacturers because F1 was in a bad place after so many engine manufacturers left the sport after the 2008 market crash. But in reality, the argument it's rubbish because these are the most complicated, expensive, hard to develop engines in F1 history. As a new entrant it would take years to reach a somewhat equal development with the almost established manufacturers who are already present in F1. Why would anyone commit to that? But the real reason why this engine was introduced was because the big teams wanted it. Mercedes and Ferrari. If anything, those engine regulations showed the sad state of the sport where the big teams now had the say on where F1 should be going. And it worked great for them. Mercedes and Ferrari started dominating the sport after they were nowhere on par with Red Bull-Renault in the late V8 era. And as a consequence of these expensive engines, Cosworth left F1. Cosworth, who supplied F1 teams since the 60's and was the backbone of small F1 teams, left because they were small and simply had no money to compete against the giants. The 2014 regs changes were a mistake, probably the biggest mistake in F1 history. It completely prevented small engine manufacturers to enter F1, hell, even the big ones didnt come either (only Honda came in, but they had a history with F1 already), the big teams started to have a monopoly on the grid and these engines just aren't road relevant at all. No one, absolutely no road car uses the F1's V6 turbo hybrid concept.

Definitely take your point but they were looking fir ways of making things more affordable. The MGUH has also been the prime failure point since 2014.

F1 has banned a lot of ingenious stuff over the years... Williams was the best with their adaptive suspension and CVT. Those were both really useful things for production cars too! But nope. Banned. Same with ABS. They're stifling the power engineers have. They clearly stated they care more about the driver being a great driver than the engineers being able to make a great car, and want to keep racing as close as possible too. Funnily enough, the companies with the most money win now... (pssst, its because the engineers get more money for development). If they want development, let all the teams go crazy with systems such as ABS, adaptive suspension, regenerative braking, hybrid, electric, but implement a cost limit. If they want close racing, then they might as well just supply stock cars to every team. These restrictions are _really_ annoying.

The thing that was not mentioned here is that the kinetic recovery unit is getting a significant size and energy input and output increase next year as well, meaning that the problem of generating torque coming out of a corner moves from ICE + Turbo to primarily the electric motor sitting on crank. Meaning that you can shape the torque curve from the torque generated by this electric motor against the torque coming from ICE, meaning that you can still have a predictable torque curve coming off a corner. Porsche did this effectively in the 919.

Aren't they increasing the capacity of the batteries, such that they will give a higher portion of available power? If so, wont the loss of the H mean they have difficulty fully recharging?
@lukasgerhardstiel164
@lukasgerhardstiel164 Рік тому
No, the battery capacity is going to stay the same, at 4 kWh. But the maximum harvesting capacity of the MGU-K is going to rise, from 120 bhp to 325 bhp, or to put it into perspective to 9 kWh. So the drivers will have to use a lot of their gained braking energy has to be deployed almost immediately, as they would waste a lot of energy otherwise. The loss of the electrical regeneration of the MGU-H‘s loss is therefore balanced by the increased power of the MGU-K. Nonetheless there is an issue that Scarbs and Scott explained. The turbo is activated a few seconds after the initial deployment of the throttle, because it needs a certain pressure of the exhaust gases in order to work. The turbo is responsible for a lot of power, so the car will be very unpredictable exiting the corners. There will be wheelspin, oversteer and a massive loss in terms of lap time. The MGU-H redeploys some energy into the turbo, spins it up. It helps the engine be more predictable and a lot smoother, and by with the loss of that it will be far more difficult to drive flawless laps. It either provides better racing, or divides the field massively

@@cosminlesutan3574 You know that most of the energy is already generated by the MGU-K. Read my comment above so you will have a more detailed description of how the MGU-H‘s ban will affect the car. And by giving the MGU-K more peak energy to regenerate (9kWh/lap) you will recharge the battery a lot faster, and therefore have to use a lot more over the course of a lap, as the battery can only store 4kWh. And you don’t necessarily need a lot of heavy breaking zones. You will gain enough energy from all breaking zones combined. At the moment, a lot of the MGU-K‘s potential is wasted. Believe me, the engineers developing the new regulations will surely have thought about that. This problem would also occur in the LMP2 and the WEC (Endurance), where a hybrid engine with an MGU-K and no MGU-H is used. And there it does not exist at all

Mass flow on road cars is way to low to justify use of an MGU-H, plus they very rarely get to a point where the turbo is actually creating too much boost, you are almost never on full throttle (compared to a racing car) ie if you wanted to use this on a road car you would actually make the power unit less efficient. If I remember correctly Porsche did actually use something similar in LMP1 (919) i think, though without the ability to spin up the turbo, it was just a turbine and a generator i think. Scania was as far as i can remember the only manufacturer to have the intent to use a similar design on the road, it would've been used for lorries though.

@@OptimusCrime9900 Engineers design the size of a turbocharger with respect to the whole power train and the expected driving profile. If they put just a turbo in a short range commuter car, this will be a small turbo that's easy to spin up but is less efficient than a larger one with more power (waste gate opens long before peak power). Same commuter application, first add a MGU-K, as regenerative braking is important with frequently varying speeds, and without it a lot of the MGU-H potential would be wasted, too. With a good MGU-K, one can downsize the ICE (in itself an efficiency boost) without losing peak power for acceleration (if the battery is charged). With an additional MGU-H a relatively larger turbo would be used, which is easier to spool up, and can often be run near to full ICE-throttle (different from max. combined power). For an application of long distance cruising, a powerful MGU-K is less important (if it's not frequently mountain up and down), but a larger ICE and turbocharger would be chosen. The reason it's not done, it's more expensive if only building costs for cars is accounted for. If taxation would just add a fraction of the cost, that adapting to men-made climate change brings, big car manufacturers wouldn't build anything but efficient hybrid cars and fully electric. A short distance commuter car would be efficient with a very small engine (at most 2 cylinders!), and turbo+MGU-H that are relatively large (but not large in about terms), and a relatively large high voltage battery (at very least 5 kWh, 10 - 15 kWh if commuting longer distances) to increase the use of plug-in charging. For longer distances without EV-fast-charging options, first of all, a relatively even larger turbo and MGU-H would be chosen, as the MGU-K couldn't be used much to recharge the battery. If it's any other country than Germany with unlimited motorway topspeed, a significantly larger ICE would neither be necessary nor efficient for the application (for acceleration there's still the MGU-K). But Audi and Porsche design cars for roads with unlimited topspeed, for people that either live in Germany and/or do not respect speed-limits. And a few ones, that actually just race them on track (small niche market). If only those guys who watch motor racing and then think they have to try it themselves in public, would do the same when watching non-motor sports, wow would there be many more sporty people...

I think the difference is the MGU-H is capturing free* energy from the heat and pressure in the exhaust (as it can't be given to the compressor due to boost limits) whereas running the MGU-K in regen would add a direct drag to the engine output. There was a similar technology being developed in late WW2 aero engines called "turbo-compounding", and it significantly increased the max output of piston engines, but was mechanically pretty complex and couldn't compete with jet engines and turboprops that were being introduced *the exhaust backpressure might slightly drop engine power but every you will lose

Correct me if I'm wrong, but at 4:08 that doesn't sound like a pressure release from a turbo waste gate? The "choppy" nature of that sound comes from the exhaust purposefully trapping the high pressure gas so that when the driver opens the throttle again (ie hit the gas pedal), there is immediate turbo pressure ie less turbo lag The choppy sound is the turbine fighting the high pressure gas within the chamber, hence the gas being 'chopped' A turbo wastegate on the other hand, makes more of a "bshhhhhh" smooth noise whenever it releases Nonetheless, this video is very informative as always, thank you
@TarenGarond
@TarenGarond Рік тому
"Correct me if I'm wrong", okay yes I will! That sound is the compressor surging, when the throttle is closed the air from the turbo "have no where to go" and the pressure rises, the compressor "stalls"(To much pressure for that specific flow rate and Turbo RPM) and the air starts to go backwards through the intake of the compressor, when the pressure after the compressor goes down to a certain level air is starting to go the right way again the pressure goes up and the cycle continuous (but gets weaker when the turbo is slowing down), leading to a "chu-chu-chu"- sound. The "bshhhhhh" sound you mentioned is the sound of the blow-off valve venting compressed air when the throttle is closed, preventing the compressor from surging. Preventing off-throttle compressor surge might or might not(These subjects is highly debated, and it is hard to find concrete evidence I think), prevent damage on the turbo, make the slow down of the turbo slower. One thing that is sure is that the sound character is changed. The "blow-off valve" on regular road vehicles recirculates(Often called "compressor bypass valve") the air back to the intake of the compressor instead of venting directly into the air, the "bshhhhhh" sound is therefore almost nonexistent. A wastegate is controlling the boost pressure by letting exhaust go around the turbine directly out the exhaust(Limiting the turbo RPM), and that just makes the engine sound louder and having a slightly different character. The wastegate might "flutter"(Open and close fast to adjust boost, instead of partially and smoothly open the wastegate (which is standard) ) on some cars(Not any standard cars I think) though and make a fast cyclical change in engine sound.

I guess with this, the Senna trick could make a come back. What Senna did with the throttle is quite amazing. It's quite ridiculous what he did with the throttle. He essentially performed a very rapid and clever "trial and error" to determine when to apply the gas again. He accelerates to the maximum and continuously pokes the gas pedal softly to assess the grip. He continues prodding the throttle when it's too early. Once his senses give him a couple of green lights in a row that tell him the grip is there, he buries it. He had a wizard-level traction control system set up within him. Genius, right? Also, that poking of the throttle kept the turbo spooled up, essentially making the car ready to go out of the corner with max power. Senna was able to make the car faster and more stable by doing this because he was able to spool up the turbos before the exit and get a faster, more consistent boost and smoother power delivery. Senna also used the heel and toe technique to keep the revs up, essentially making more power and again keeping the turbo spooled up. Also, with the current regulations (2014 and 2022), this technique essentially became obsolete as the car always has good levels of grip in and out of the corners since the MGU-H always keeps the turbo spooled up and the battery charged for the MGU-K to spin the crankshaft along with the engine itself, essentially developing loads of power and grip as the car exits the corner. This change is good I believe as it'll make F1 much more competitive and challenging for the drivers. It will also increase the number of teams participating in F1 due to the reduced costs nd complexity of the engines.

is there enough in the 'fuel budget' over the course of a race to adopt the Senna style of cornering where by he kept the turbo spinning by revving the engine by stabbing the accelerator while on the clutch (I think) all the way around a long corner?

Dumping and waste gate isn't same thing. Waste opens linearly when enough boost is generated, dumping happens always you lift pedal and motor power goes down. Normally you don't hear when wastegate is working. But usually dumping could hear. Sometimes it throws that air back system so air metering do not confuse and then there's almost no sound.

I wonder if there’s scope for some kind of anti-lag workaround arms race, perhaps using the spare MGU-K energy for that instead of overtaking. Still it’s sort of exciting to be in a way going back to an older style of F1, but with a modern twist.

Hi Scott...because of the 2026 regulations and MGU-H will be removed and turbolag will be introduced...Do you think Ayrton Senna's Throttle Technique will work on the 2026 Cars??? just asking questions😊😊😊

Took me 4 minutes to figure out it's about MGU-H. But I agree, I was so excited when I've heard the are introducing it almost a decade ago. Too bad, an EM spinning at 100k rpm with 200 C temp gradient accross it isn't really something everyone wants to manufacture...

4.10 that sound is not a waste gate. That is off throttle turbo flatter or surge which I caused by the lack of blow off valve and what you hear is the air bouncing off the compressor turbine as it has no path to flow due to the throttle being closed

I bought a 10x10 and two 1x1 plots next to yours. One for my recently passed wife, one for both of us and the last for me. Thanks as this was a great way to keep my wife's memory and our 32 years together a memory forever.

The rules somewhat remind me of the Le Mans hybrid rules from about 10 years ago, a time when Audi and Porsche were dominating the category. Very similar ICE power, ERS power and recovery allowance.

I think it is a backwards step. Especially as systems have already been designed. The lithium battery pack is very expensive. Why not have give Porsche a 2017 system as a starter for 10 to give them something to work from. If we are going to through the baby out with the bath water, why not have the kinetic energy recovery off the front axel? It would be more road relevant as most road cars are front wheel drive.

I doubt Porsche will need a starter pack since they've been running a MGU-H in the 919 since 2014. They just see it as a money sink for a technical dead end.

It is correct calling it mguh, the temperature is less after the turbo as the pressure is less.

The Porsche 919 had both MGUK and MGUH systems. able to recoup energy while on full throttle. I suspect if turbo lag is too great, some people will start to apply some throttle during braking just to get better drive out of the corner
