Technical diagram comparing engine piston states at operating and ambient temperatures, showing volumes and compression ratio, with automotive brand logos.

Technical diagram comparing engine piston states at operating and ambient temperatures, showing volumes and compression ratio, with automotive brand logos.

Two Cylinder States: Show the cylinder at ambient temperature (official measurement) and at operating temperature (alleged exploitation). Volume Labels: Clearly mark: Swept Volume: The space the piston moves through Clearance Volume: The small space above the piston at top dead center (this shrinks when hot) Total Volume: The sum of both Compression Ratio Formula: CR = (Swept Volume + Clearance Volume) ÷ Clearance Volume Temperature Effect: Use arrows or color gradients (blue to red) to show metal expansion heating up. Team Alignment: Visually group Red Bull & Mercedes (exploiting) vs. Ferrari, Audi & Honda (protesting). Rule Reference: Note the conflicting regulations: C5.4.3 (ambient measurement) vs. C1.5 (compliance at all times). See more
