Ferrari V6 hybrid Formula One power unit

Formula 1 engine from 2014-present From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Ferrari Tipo series is a series of 1.6-litre, turbocharged, and V6 hybrid Formula One racing engines developed and produced by Scuderia Ferrari starting with the Tipo 059/3 designation for the 2014 Formula One World Championship. In addition to their role as a factory-backed team by supplying their own Formula One team, Ferrari engines are being used by Haas and Cadillac, the former in an interim role until development of their own power unit commences for the 2029 season. Previously, Ferrari's hybrid V6 engines also saw use in Sauber, Scuderia Toro Rosso, and Marussia's cars. Cars powered by Ferrari engines scored 159 podiums, 27 victories, and 47 pole positions since their inception in 2014; the strongest results from a car powered by a Ferrari engine came during the 2018 Formula One World Championship, with the Ferrari SF71H taking six wins, 24 podiums and six pole positions.

Development and design

The V6 turbo engine was developed under the direction of Luca Marmorini and Mattia Binotto.[5][6] The engine itself is coupled with an energy recovery system hybrid unit, and all evolutions and newer iterations of the power unit are based on the same basic hybrid architecture that has existed since 2014.

As part of the 2026 regulation change, the MGU-H was removed.

Naming

Ferrari 059/3 was the engine's official name in the 2014 inaugural season. In the following seasons, the further expansion stages of the engine were each given new names. Formally, all expansion forms were based on the basic structure that has existed since 2014.

2019 investigation

The Type 064 of the 2019 Formula One World Championship was often criticised from the middle of the season. While the Ferrari SF90 put in a strong performance throughout the 2019 season, their performance was particularly strong between the 2019 Belgian Grand Prix on 1 September and the 2019 Mexican Grand Prix on 27 October. During these races, Ferrari took six consecutive pole positions and scored their only victories of the season in these races. As their form had noticeably improved compared to the first 12 races of the season, Red Bull Racing made an inquiry to the FIA and asked for clarification on whether the use of a system used by Ferrari that bypasses the fuel flow sensor is permissible. Red Bull accused Ferrari of installing the sensor in such a way that it could not measure an increased illegal fuel flow. The FIA responded with a technical guideline ahead of the 2019 United States Grand Prix on 3 November, reminding all competitors that such systems are not allowed. As a result, Ferrari's form faded. As the season progressed, they managed neither a pole position nor a win. Max Verstappen then publicly accused Ferrari of cheating.[7] After the end of testing for the 2020 Formula One World Championship, the FIA announced that it had completed its investigation into the Type 064 engine and entered into a private agreement with Ferrari. The FIA refused to disclose the results of the investigation after protests from the other teams.[8]
