Morning all
Some of you know that I'm compiling (slowly) a Formula 1 scrapbook detailing all sorts of odds & ends about drivers, teams & championships over the last 60 years, but 1 thing I can't as yet fathom. When talking about car engines, some people list a car as having a Ford V8 for example, and someone else may list the same car as having a Cosworth V8. My question is this:
Would a Ford V8 / V10 / V12 be the same as a Cosworth V8 / V10 / V12, or are they 2 totally different things?
