Next year in Formula1 the engine spec is changing, this is CNN explanation While a standard engine is powered by a belt connected to the crankshaft, a turbo engine runs on its own exhaust steam, making it more energy efficient. No longer will F1 circuits roar with the sound of standard 2.4-liter V8 engines -- referring to their eight cylinders. Instead, they'll be fitted with 1.6-liter V6 turbo-charged units, in line with the new F1 rules.  How Much Can CNN Get Wrong About F1 Engines, Physics In One Article? ID: 1402390 ·  |

I lost interest in F1 racing a long time ago. Bob DeWoody My motto: Never do today what you can put off until tomorrow as it may not be required. This no longer applies in light of current events. ID: 1402464 · |

On these forums, the F1 rocket engine was the first thing that came to my mind also... Then switch to a different context... Keep searchin', Martin See new freedom: Mageia Linux Take a look for yourself: Linux Format The Future is what We all make IT (GPLv3) ID: 1403223 · |

How Much Can CNN Get Wrong About F1 Engines, Physics In One Article? Ouch. That is so farcical as to be eye-wateringly painful. No wonder the USA is sinking fast! I guess they'll just have to pray to God and our Robert Stephenson for their salvation!! Can journalists really be that ignorant of any and all facts?! Keep searchin'!

Can journalists really be that ignorant of any and all facts?! Remember they majored in journalism, where the classes are The National Enquirer sells, how to out Hearst a Hearst newspaper, and beating Rupert Murdoch at his own game!
