Amazing facts about the Formula 1 car

The Formula 1 car is made up of about 80,000 parts. If we assume that 99.9% of them are properly assembled, they will start any race with 80 errors in their assembly.

The Formula 1 car has power cables with a length of about 100 kilometers, connected to about 100 sensors and operators that monitor and control the performance of the vehicle.

The Formula 1 car can achieve acceleration from 0 to 160 km per hour and return to speed 0 in four seconds.

Formula 1 engines last about two hours before the race.

When a Formula 1 driver presses the brakes, he faces a delay or slow down of the car, sharply comparing a common car crash to a concrete wall at 300 km / h.

The Formula 1 driver loses almost 4 kg of weight in just one race because of its continuous exposure to high pressure and high temperature only one hour after the start of the race.

The Formula 1 weighs 550 kilograms.

In Formula 1, the engine reaches 18000 rpm, "meaning that the paston moves up and down 300 times per second.

If the water hose breaks into a Formula 1 car, the cooling system will be fully discharged in just one second.

The gearbox is used only for one race and is always tidied to reduce failure due to its continuous exposure to a high degree of effort.

The Formula 1 cockpit is very narrow so that the steering wheel is removed every time the driver enters or exits the car by a small latch behind the steering wheel that is pressed.

To see how important the aerodynamic down force design is in a Formula 1 car, small aircraft take off less quickly than a Formula One car on the road.

Without the aerodynamic down force, the Formula 1 car has enough power to make the car lose its balance at a speed of 160 km / h while the Formula 1 car usually runs at 300 km / h.

The amount of aerodynamic down force produced by the front, rear and bottom wings of the Formula 1 is really amazing. When driving at 160 kilometers per hour, it generates enough force down to equal the weight of the car, meaning Formula 1 can hold itself as it goes On the surface of the tunnel inverted.

In racing on normal streets such as the Monaco race, the down force provides the car with a high capacity to absorb the hood and lift it out of place, so that these blankets are properly wrapped to prevent this thing from happening.

Formula 1 fuel hoses can supply about 12 liters of fuel per second. This means that it takes only four seconds to fill the fuel tank with about 50 liters of fuel and they use the same system used to supply helicopters in US Army fuel.

The Formula 1 maintenance crew can provide fuel and tire changes in 3 seconds.

Tires for racing cars such as Formula 1 do not contain air as normal but nitrogen-filled tires, because nitrogen has a constant pressure compared to air. Air contains large amounts of water vapor that affect tire expansion and shrinkage.

During the race, Formula 1 tires lose weight of 0.5 kg.

Regular tires typically last from 60,000 to 100,000 kilometers while Formula 1 tires are designed to last from 90 to 120 kilometers.

Tires used in the dry climate of the Formula 1 car peak when they reach 90 degrees to 120 degrees (remember that the boiling point is 100 degrees) and at the top speed of the car, the Formula 1 frame rotates around 50 times per second .

Michael Schumacher is the most expensive athlete in the world.
