Power point formula 1
- 1. How is a Formula 1? In this power point know each one of the pieces that make up these stunning race cars. CLICK TO CONTINUE!
- 2. CHASSIS The chassis provides rigidity and shape of a vehicle or object. The chassis holding some mechanical parts, for example the engine, the suspension, the exhaust system and the steering box. The chassis considered the most significant component of a car. It is the most fundamental element that gives strength and stability to the vehicle under different conditions.
- 3. ENGINE The engine is a essential element of this sport. The engine and transmission of a modern Formula One car are some of the most highly stressed pieces of machinery on the planet, and the competition to have the most power on the grid is still intense. Engine
- 4. Gearbox GEARBOX The gearboxes of modern Formula One cars are now highly automated with drivers selecting gears via paddles fitted behind the steering wheel. The 'sequential' gearboxes used are very similar in principle to those of motorbikes, allowing gear changes to be made far faster than with the traditional ‘H’ gate selector, with the gearbox selectors operated electrically.
- 5. DAMPERS Dampers must absorb the irregularities of the track and to keep the car subject to it. They are very hard to withstand the high loads generated and prevent the fireball touches the ground. Tires play an important role in the damping of the vehicle. DAMPERS
- 6. BRAKES They are designed to work in extreme conditions. A Formula 1 car 320 slows to 80 mph in just 3 seconds in a distance of 100 meters. BRAKES
- 7. TYRES Formula One tyres play a significant role in the performance of a Formula One car. The tyres have undergone significant changes throughout the history of Formula One, with different manufacturers and specifications used in the sport. TYRES
- 8. AERODYYNAMICS It is one of the most critical points in Formula 1. Because of the high speeds achieved, each piece should be analyzed minutely to improve the car's performance. Aeronautical techniques are applied in their development. AERODYNAMICS
- 9. WHEEL This carbon fiber manufactured and areas where the pilot is covered with leather catches. It is a complex electronic system that provides the driver to control all elements of the car. Must be removed when the pilot up or down the vehicle. WHEEL
- 10. TELEMETRY All aspects such as speed, acceleration, braking, engine temperature, the movements of the suspensions, the position of the pedals and G force is measured and controlled from the pit while the car is rolling on the track TELEMETRY
