I understood that the high revving F1 engines used pneumatic valvetrains. This is what I thought allowed them to run to 20,000rpm and beyond.
Watching a video about Ferrari's new V6 powerplant that had animations of the internals, it showed an engine with dual overhead cams, nothing too special or new as far as I could see regarding technology.
On the new V6 engines, did they go back to older technology overhead cams and do away with the pneumatic valvetrains?
I could see them doing this since the new engines don't rev nearly as high, and I'd guess the reliability might be better, maybe?
