The Ground Effect - F1technical.net
WEBThe Venturi effect is the key downforce generating ground-effect for a Formula 1 car, the negative pressure created (negative only when compared to the atmosphere, i.e. a relative vacuum) sucks the car into the ground (downforce), because downforce is equal to the integral of pressure over the planform area () of interest; .

The 2022 Formula 1 rules explained - F1technical.net
WEBSep 17, 2021 — Ahead of the British Grand Prix Formula 1 revealed a full size model of its vision of next season's regulations. A couple of days earlier FIA released the latest edition of the rulebook. With the reality of the 2022 season looming, and assuming the rulebook will not change significantly between now and then, we investigate the contents of the regulation book to explain how cars will be designed.

WEBMar 10, 2022 — By Steven De Groote on Mon Feb 21, 2022 8:29 am. Ferrari have gone radical in their approach to this year's F1 75 contender, not least by the design of their sidepods that are very unlike anything else seen so far. A dented upper surface and a flat sidewall are its most intricate details that quickly triggered the aerodynamicists' interest.
Formula One engines - F1technical.net
WEBJul 18, 2009 — All F1 engines are naturally aspirated V8's of 2400cc. Engines are limited to 18,000rpm. The weight is exactly 95kg (each manufacturer easily reaches this regulated minimum weight) Engine blocks are constructed of forged aluminium alloy, because of the weight advantages it gives in comparison to steel.

An insight into throttle mapping - F1technical.net
WEBAn insight into throttle mapping. The torque map is probably the single most important reference map used in Formula 1 engine management. It is the fingerprint of an engine and of critical importance for engine engineers to help optimise the on track engine performance. “In its simplest form, the engine torque map is a theoretical model of ...
