development
The type 055 is a further development of the predecessor type 053 . The engine rules introduced for the 2004 season were tightened again for the 2005 season. From now on, an engine had to endure two entire racing weekends. An unauthorized motor change would have resulted in a grid penalty of 10 places. As in the previous year, Ferrari's focus when developing the 055 was on durability and reliability. In order to achieve this goal, many parts were redeveloped, some could be taken over from the predecessor. Although the engine was stable, the weight increased only insignificantly.
The engine management came as usual from Magneti Marelli . Shell supplied new fuel and lubricants that were said to have a positive effect on reliability.
There were the usual expansion stages throughout the season.
The 055 was Ferrari's last 10 cylinder engine. From the 2006 season , Formula 1 relied on V8 engines with a displacement of 2.4 liters.
use
The type 055 was only used in the 2005 season and only by Ferrari in the F2005 and Sauber in the Sauber C24 . However, Sauber used the name PETRONAS 05A for the engine .
