What Is Downforce and Why Is It So Important in F1?

In our latest F1 explainer, we're looking at downforce... what is it, why is it so important, and why is Mexico such an outlier for aerodynamic performance 👀

    @@hananabbey3608 I’ll go out on a limb and say that most Verstappen fans, and really most F1 fans as a whole, show massive respect to all competitors. We see a very vocal bunch of outliers online, and they skew perspective. I was just at the Mexico GP, and while the love for Sergio is obvious as it’s his home race, there was real love for many teams and drivers, too. I just wish these online trolls could be muted better.

    I feel like this reworked with vertical side pods W13 was designed and shaped more for straight line speed and also to not be hit too hard with side winds as it corners. Am sure Mercedes-AMG built structures that would compensate for some loss in downforce. Great to see the car has slowly but surely greatly improved and could even beat Ferrari for 2nd in the constructors.

    I suppose the challenge for next season is keeping the down force as is but reduce drag to increase straight line speed. This is a hard problem but not unsolvable.

    The obvious challenge is getting more downforce with less drag at the same time but drag is also responsible for helping slow down the car at high speed under braking. It's like trying to envision a world without friction. No friction means everything slides around indefinitely and without friction, the act of standing up on our 2 feet would be physically impossible.

    . . Ai lets hit a "couple" of targets and not just one . Put a vein system within the body . Have it taper exit 'outsiDe' the body . Like a tunnel leads to light . Allow your downforce data to assist with a speculative honing path for what the arch of the tunnel should be to naturally give back the handling characteristics you want in the turns . #2. Less weight through honing . Aqueducts are timeless . #3. Quite some upgrades ago , my original thought was to find areas beneath the body of the car to scalpt ' golf ball ' like recesses to control downforce or lift depending on elliptical shapes . Just kept thinking frisbees .

    Question. Do teams run simulations pre race for each track understanding what the best downforce model is to be used based on the turns and altitude and wind forecasts and decide on the most optimal configuration? And since breaking patterns differ from driver to drive does this have any effect on the simulations while having different configurations for individual drivers?

  • @majsterV

    @majsterV

    Жыл бұрын

    Cars definitely comes pre race configured. I wathed video(i watched long ago), where they say cars come pre configured and setup is done around 90% before even hit particular track. They help with simulations, previous years data and probably other tools and informations. Real testing is mostly for fineses, car balance setup and for testing new parts. As for second question, i believe(i don't know for sure), they choose universal best setup from aero, drag, brake disk size, cooling and suspension point of view and later when on real track, individual driver make smaller performance changes, like brake bias to own liking.

    Eh it won’t make them drop off. But it will effect them a little bit. Since they already have their aero package from this year. Ferrari and merc were angry about the punishment not being more harsh. Redbull can spend money elsewhere and put less priority on their aero since they nailed it already.
