• Resumen

  • Marks features the 2014 F1 cars. The idea is to kit out the cars with a small engine of a "road-car relevant" size complete with a clutch of energy recovery techniques. Along with better aerodynamics, these will ensure the engine has both green credentials and the speed the spectacle demands. The heart of the 2014 power unit is the newly shrunk engine that has also had its maximum rotational speed cut from 18,000 revolutions per minute to a more efficient 15,000 rpm.
