The 90° angle of the V8 engine means the unit is wider than the V10 used last year.These are reflected in the compact packaging of the sidepods. As such, the team is able to run smaller radiators, which allows packaging gains to be made. The reduced power levels mean the engine produces less heat – and therefore requires less cooling.
The RS26 V8 is a smaller unit than the previous generation of V10 engines and develops less power.For the first race of the 2006 season, there will be no carryover items from last year’s car.
