Since its inception in 1947, Formula One has used a variety of engine regulations. Formulae limiting engine capacity had been used in Grand Prix racing on a regular basis since after World War I. The engine formulae are divided according to era. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formula_One_engines https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formula_One_engines You are also not really addressing the original point you where making that "powerplant" is a "direct translation" of the word "silnik".

  Quoting random articles should prove the point that the author of that page on the F1 website did not in fact make a typo, as you suggested. The word powerplant is used — fairly commonly, both written and spoken — in motoring journalism in place of the word engine or motor. I don't find your arguments convincing, for the logical holes I've spotted. I don't think you find my arguments convincing either, so I guess we'll leave it at that.
