Hello James,

Thank you so much for this post – I have just worked out the fuel efficiency of the F1 Engines in 2009 on my blog and the performance information was a real help!

Merry Christmas to you and enjoy the time with friends and family!

if it made sense in terms of energy balance to split water to make hydrogen and oxygen, and then use this hydrogen to burn with the oxygen to make more energy than you needed in the first place, then you’ve solved the problem of perpetual motion…!

Have done a couple of my own comparisons this season and I am not so sure over the Renault being more economical than the Mercedes. Bearing in mind that the Mercedes is using energy in charging KERS, would that not balance out slightly?

There are, I’m sure, engineers and lawyers who have pondered over this one, and considering that advantage is measured in 1/1000th of a second, probably came up with the same conclusion. It’s interesting to think that the fuel tank must be situated according to a lateral projection (ie viewed from the side) this means it could be low and wide, to keep the changes to CoG to a minimum. If there are internal baffles/compartments, this means less fuel movement in corners = more stability.
