The Power Units

What gets a Formula 1 car going? Like, reeeaaaallllly going - from zero to a hundred km/h in 2.5 seconds? Their cutting-edge, turbocharged, hybrid power units, of course.

In this episode, Gom and Das delve into the beating hearts of the most spectacular machines on the planet. After understanding the basics of how internal combustion engines work, they explore the sources of all that screaming, roaring, whirring and magic. How do turbochargers improve the engines, what's an MGU-K and MGU-H, and how do they impact the races we watch? What was so special about those old-timey V10 and V8 engines, and what can we expect to see (and hear) in the future?
