Aerodynamics

F1 cars use sophisticated aerodynamic designs to generate massive downforce, allowing cutting-edge cornering speeds. Key components include front and rear wings, floor design, and various small aero elements.

Power Units

Modern F1 cars use hybrid power units, combining a 1.6L V6 turbocharged engine with energy recovery systems. These units can produce over 1000 horsepower while being fuel-efficient.

Materials

F1 cars extensively use carbon fiber composites, providing exceptional strength-to-weight ratios. This allows for incredibly light yet strong car structures.
