Formula 1 Technology Formula 1 race car technology is a fascinating way to explore some of the world’s most advanced automotive and engineering innovations. Here are the main technologies used in F1 cars. Let's talk about main 3 technologies in Formula 1 Car ! 1. Hybrid Power Units (PU) : In Formula 1, Hybrid Power Units (PU) consist of a 1.6-liter V6 turbocharged internal combustion engine (ICE) along with two energy recovery systems—MGU-K (Motor Generator Unit-Kinetic) and MGU-H (Motor Generator Unit-Heat)—to enhance performance and efficiency. The MGU-K catches energy from braking and changes it into electrical energy, which is then stored in the car's battery, whereas the MGU-H utilizes heat from the turbocharger. This technology adds 160 extra horsepower, improving acceleration and efficiency with no additional fuel needed. (An example from reality is seen in the 2020 W11 F1 car from Mercedes-AMG , where their hybrid power unit excelled in both reliability and performan
