- In an f1 engine revving at 18000 rpm, piston travels up and down 300 times a second. If a connecting rod let go of its piston at max speed, the piston would have enough energy to travel vertically over 100 meters.
- If a water hose were to blow off, complete cooling system would empty in just over a second.
- F1 cars have 3 built in pneumatic jacks and F1 car has as many as 8 radios operating at a time.
- The most powerful McLaren Formula 1 car is the 2005 MP4-20A, which had a power output of 920 bhp.
- Top-notch F1 pit crews can change the tyres of an F1 car in around three seconds. That’s roughly the time it’ll take you to read this entire point aloud at your normal speaking speed.
- Each tyre on an F1 car will lose about 0.5kg during a race due to wear and tear. Think that’s the only thing that loses weight? Well, an F1 driver loses about 4kg of weight after just one race due to prolonged exposure to high G forces and temperatures.
- The steering wheel of an F1 car can cost as much as US$30,000 – US$50,000. It performs up to 120 functions and weighs just three pounds. The average steering wheel, on the other hand, tips the scales at a whopping four pounds.
- Your Car Has These, An F1 Car Doesn’t!
That’s right, your Toyota is more technologically advanced than Sebastian Vettel’s Red Bull … at least in some ways. How? Traction control, stability control, anti-lock brakes and adjustable suspension – while all common in your average car – have been banned in F1 for several years.
- Did you know that a plank of wood is bolted to the underside of every F1 car? This is to ensure the teams don’t run their cars too low to the ground, which increases speed. If the plank wears away too much, the car is disqualified.
- The average F1 car packs 150 sensors that are capable of wirelessly transmitting information 1,000 times per second to the engineers in the garage. On any given Sunday, each team generates 1.5 billion samples of data to be analysed by a supercomputer. Lotus Racing claims its supercomputer can execute 38 trillion calculations per second.
