What's the benefit to Formula 1 using engines like a 3.0L V8 or a 2.4L V8? I read this Reddit discussion on why it's not practical to put small many-cylindered engines into production cars. Cost mostly, due to the many additional and higher-quality components that must go into it. Just because race teams can afford to produce engines like that, what is the benefit to using these engines instead of 6- or 8-cylinder engines with higher displacement?

The answer to why F1 teams use a certain engine displacement and cylinder count is not a technical one; it's governed by the rules of the sport. You can see the history of F1 engines here . From the same source, for 2014/2015: 1.6-litre, six-cylinder single-turbos with energy recovery and fuel restrictions to replace 2.4-litre normally aspirated V8s, Fuel efficiency to increase by 35%, Power of energy-recovery systems to double, Overall power to remain at approx 750bhp.).
