While this is generally accepted to have worked, the altered aerodynamics have reduced the slipstream effect. This, allied with the championship reaching greater engine performance parity ahead of a rules alteration in that area of the cars for 2026, means DRS continues to have a major impact in...

With the FIA having recently unveiled the new set of F1 regulations for 2026 onwards, a number of changes will come into force for the next generation of cars. But what impact will this have on the design? In a special edition ofTech Talkfor F1 TV, technica...
“Currently what is happening in Formula 1 is that there's work to ‘break the rules’,” says FIA’s Head of Single Seater Technical Matters, Nikolas Tombazis. “One thing that has lacked in previous attempts by the FIA with new regulations is the opportunity to really try to push them ...
“We have been scratching our heads on how long this characteristic goes back in time,” said Stella. “The aerodynamics is where the forces come from and I think it goes back to some seasons before the current season. It’s a set of characteristics in terms of how the car delivers the...
In 2021, I started to watch every race in the year, but instead of wanting to drive, I became very interested in how to race and in aerodynamics. After my research I found Adrian was the best, so I started to look for his autobiography and found this book. This book didn't just ...
Porpoising is when an F1 car bounces up and down on the straights. It's caused by the ground effect aerodynamics pulling the car down to the ground, but as the car gets closer to the ground the airflow stalls, which forces the car up. When the car goes up the airflow...
TheAston MartinValhalla will be the firm's firstplug-in hybridmodel, but the primary reason for electrifying it is to boost performance rather than fuel economy. The looks are pure concept car, while learnings from the Aston Martin F1 team are said to have inspired the aerodynamics. ...
F1 2021 Aerodynamics The aim for the 2021 aerodynamic regulations is to not only reduce the size of the wakes, but also suck this turbulent air inboard and then eject it up and over the car behind. In this way, cars should be able to follow eachother closely and overtake in the corners...
F1 pit crew: what they do during a pit stop How many people are in a Formula 1 pit stop team? More than 20 people make up the F1 pit crew. They are responsible for stabilising the car, changing the tyres, making adjustments to the aerodynamics, and safely releasing the car. Each ...
