Engines

• For a decade F1 cars had run with 3.0 litre
  normally-aspirated V10 engines, but in an attempt
  to slow the cars down, the FIA mandated that as
  of the 2006 season the cars must be powered by
  2.4 litre naturally-aspirated engines in the V8
  configuration that have no more than four valves
  per cylinder.
• As of the start of the 2006 season most engines
  on the grid rev up to 19,000 rpm. The new 2.4L V8
  engines are reported to develop between 720 hp
  and 750 hp.

13

• The engines produce over 100,000 BTU per minute
  of heat that must be dumped, usually to the
  atmosphere via radiators and the exhaust, which
  can reach temperatures over 1,000 degrees
  Celsius. They consume around 650 litres of air
  per second. Race fuel consumption rate is
  normally around 75 litres per 100 kilometres
  travelled.
• As of the 2006 Chinese Grand Prix all development
  of engines will be frozen until 2009, meaning
  that the teams will use engines of the same spec
  for the next two seasons. The end of the engine
  freeze has been suggested to be the beginning of
  bio-fuel.

14
Transmission

• Formula One cars use semi-automatic sequential
  gearboxes with six or seven forward gears and one
  reverse gear. The driver initiates gear changes
  using paddles mounted on the back of the steering
  wheel and electro-hydraulics perform the actual
  change as well as throttle control.
• The new seamless shift gearbox, eliminate the
  split-second loss of drive during a gear change.
  The ultimate advantage of this is said to be from
  five to ten seconds over a complete race
  distance, which is a significant gain when races
  are sometimes only won by three or less seconds.

15
Aerodynamics

• The cars' aerodynamics are designed to provide
  maximum downforce with a minimum of drag every
  part of the bodywork is designed with this aim in
  mind.
• F1 car produces much more downforce than any
  other open-wheel formula for example the
  Indycars produce downforce equal to their weight
  at 190 km/h, while an F1 car achieves the same
  downforce at 130 km/h.

16
Construction

• The cars are constructed from
• composites of carbon fibre and
• similar ultra-lightweight
• (and incredibly expensive to
• manufacture) materials.
• The minimum weight permissible
• is 605 kg including the driver,
• fluids and on-board cameras.
• However, all F1 cars weigh some
• as little as 440 kg., so teams add
• ballast to the cars to bring them up
• to the minimum legal weight.
• The advantage of using ballast
• is that it can be placed anywhere
• in the car to provide ideal weight
• distribution

17
Steering wheel

• The wheel can be used to alter traction control
  settings, change gears, apply rev limiter, adjust
  fuel air mix, change brake pressure and call the
  radio. Data such as rpm, laptimes, speed and gear
  is displayed on an LCD screen.
• The wheel alone can cost about 40,000, and with
  carbon fibre construction, weighs in at 1.3
  kilograms.

18
Fuel

• Formula One fuel cannot contain compounds that
  are not found in commercial gasoline. Blends are
  tuned for maximum performance in given weather
  conditions or different circuits.
• To make sure that the teams and fuel suppliers
  aren't violating the fuel regulations, the FIA
  requires Elf, Shell, Mobil, and the other fuel
  teams to submit a sample of the fuel they are
  providing for a race. At any time, FIA inspectors
  can request a sample from the fueling rig to
  compare the "fingerprint" of what is in the car
  during the race with what was submitted.

19
Tyres Brakes

• By regulation, the tyres feature a minimum of
  four grooves in them, with the intention of
  slowing the cars down. They can be no wider than
  355 mm and 380 mm at the front and rear
  respectively. A tyre is built to last just one
  race distance, a little over 300 km.
• These brakes are designed and manufactured to
  work in extreme temperatures, up to 1,000 degrees
  Celsius. The driver can control brake force
  distribution fore and aft to compensate for
  changes in track conditions.
• An average F1 car can decelerate from 100-0 km/h
  in about 17 metres. Usual braking forces for an
  F1 car are 4.5 g to 5.5 g when braking from 300
  km/h.

20
Performance

• Every F1 car on the grid is capable of going from
  nought to 160 km/h and back to nought in less
  than five seconds. Grand Prix cars can negotiate
  corners at significantly higher speeds than other
  racing cars because of the intense levels of grip
  and downforce.
• Cornering speed is so high that Formula One
  drivers have strength training routines just for
  the neck muscles. The combination of light weight
  (605 kg), power (950 bhp), aerodynamics, and
  ultra-high performance tyres is what gives the F1
  car its performance figures.
• The principal consideration for F1 designers is
  acceleration, and not simply top speed.

21
Forward acceleration

• 0 to 100 km/h 1.9 seconds
• 0 to 200 km/h 3.9 seconds
• 0 to 300 km/h 8.4 seconds
• The acceleration figure is usually
• 1.4 g up to 200 km/h, which
• means the driver is pushed back
• in the seat with 1.4 times his
• bodyweight.

22
Deceleration

• The carbon brakes in combination with the
  aerodynamics produces truly remarkable braking
  forces.
• The deceleration force under braking is usually 4
  g, and can be as high as 5-6 g. The drivers also
  utilise 'engine braking' by downshifting rapidly.
• As a result of these high braking forces, an F1
  car can come to a complete stop from 300 km/h in
  less than 3.5 seconds.

23
Turning acceleration

• An F1 car is designed principally for high-speed
  cornering, thus the aerodynamic elements can
  produce as much as three times the car's weight
  in downforce, an F1 car to corner at amazing
  speeds, seeming to defy the laws of physics.
• As an example of the extreme cornering speeds,
  the Blanchimont and Eau Rouge corners at
  Spa-Francorchamps are taken flat-out at above 300
  km/h.

24
Top Speeds

• Top speeds are in practice limited by the longest
  straight at the track and by the need to balance
  the car's aerodynamic configuration between high
  straight line speed (low downforce) and high
  cornering speed (high downforce) to achieve the
  fastest lap time.
• The top recorded speed on track was 372 km/h at
  Monza in 2005.
