Same year, mercedes claimed 47% for their f1 ICE.
Could someone kindly write the math formula to calculate hp power from fuel flow, thermal efficiency and a third value that actually can't remember (fuel heating value perhaps?)
I think the fuel type would have to be taken into account. The values from that would need to be calculated. I'm not that proficient in math to know it
