Power Information of Honda RBPTH001 Engine edit
Who knows where comes the information of the 1,080 hp from. ON the RB homepage I found just 900 hp https://www.redbullracing.com/int-en/cars/rb19/ thanks Merlingenial (talk) 22:18, 28 August 2023 (UTC)
- 900hp from the combustion engine. Another 17-18% from the KERS(15% of total power) meaning a total over 1060hp so 1080ps. AndreiRoza (talk) 16:08, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
Winningest car edit
The Alfa Romeo 158 won every world championship points paying race run to Formula 1 specifications in 1950. 6/6 > 22/23.

- @Mlebold: Your statement that "The Alfa Romeo 158 won every world championship points paying race run to Formula 1 specifications in 1950" is correct, but there was also one world championship race which wasn't run to Formula 1 specifications (the 1950 Indianapolis 500), which they didn't win. 6/7 < 22/23.

- As that race was not run to F1 specs it's inapplicable as to which car was the most dominant in "Formula One" history. Mlebold (talk) 05:04, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
- I've changed the wording to "most dominant car in the history of the Formula One World Championship" so that the statement is technically correct, on the basis that "Formula One World Championship" includes those Championship races which were not run to F1 rules. We can still debate whether or not the statement should remain in the article. DH85868993 (talk) 06:01, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
- I am happy with that phrasing DH85868993, and definitely think it should be included. Cerebral726 (talk) 13:49, 29 November 2023 (UTC)

The most dominant car edit
THE most dominant car sounds actually a bit exaggerated as dominant is not clearly defined. The RB19 had the highest percentage of wins but by other measures (percentage of podiums, percentage of poles, percentage of fasted laps) the MP4/4 is still ahead.
Also, it is questionable how to count the sprints. If they count as races, the quota for wins (26/28) drops behind the MP4/4.
And, detached from figures, the MP4/4 had a chance of winning the Italien GP while the RB19 was not in a position to win Singapur. 93.218.240.26 (talk) 19:39, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
