Since I’ve asked about which era had the most now it’s time to see which one had the least amount of dirty air.

I would’ve imagined a team like red-bull would have played with the idea since they have done ridiculous records before. Porsche was able to set a record with the 919 evo which was almost as fast an F1 car. Is there a reason why no one has ever dared tried doing it with an f1 car ?

Im really interested in aerodynamics and the general engineering of F1 so I compiled my ideas to sculpt this sidepod and I’m looking for some feedback on it. It doesn’t have a very refined surface but it’s the best i got for now.

Any ideas for a capstone project for a high school student who has no engineering experience? Thanks.

I saw this video " https://youtu.be/QnQFU0FmVOs?feature=shared " which highlighted various struggles of RBR in balance of the car especially the front and rear aero is conflicting and is affecting its stability and performance which verstappen has been complaining.
Below the video many guys were commenting on how redbull chasing peak downforce has affected the ride quality of the car and is generally unstable in different scenarios, and also how this was something Newey was unhappy with. I mean redbull did indeed have started to struggle with straight line speed in recent races (which is an i ..read more

I recently saw this video on YouTube about the "Vane motor." : https://youtu.be/UPFFXBAe5mc?si=wslrA_UIbZrVusdP
If F1 sticks with the combustion engine (and I think they will, as many manufacturers are backtracking on producing only EVs from 2030), could this be a type of engine we might see?
Or could it help make combustion engines even more efficient?

I'm a bit confused on how driver numbers were assigned pre 2014. It seems to be a combination of driver's and constructor's championship order. For example, in 2009 Hamilton had number 1 which makes sense since he won in 2008. However Kovalainen had number 2 and Massa had number 3, despite finishing ahead of Kovalainen. So it looks like it follows the order of the driver's championship and then continues in order of constructor's. Except in 2008 Ferrari won the Constructor's championship so it doesn't make sense anymore. Can anyone explain? Also, I'm probably making this more complicated than ..read more
