Formula 1’s Post

What is 'Fire Up' in Formula 1? Come behind the scenes with us at the McLaren Technology Centre to learn about Fire Up and its importance to an F1 car build.

Aeroelasticity has recently become a major talking point in F1. So, as experts in aerodynamic testing equipment, we thought we’d explain what it is and why it’s so controversial. Aeroelasticity examines how flexible parts of a structure respond to air forces. Formula 1 teams design flexible body parts that subtly deform at high speeds to reduce drag. Recently, attention has shifted to McLaren’s rear wing, which appeared to flex slightly at high speeds and give the team a straight-line speed advantage. This flexibility exploits grey areas in F1’s aerodynamic regulations, since these parts perform differently on track than in wind tunnel testing conditions… Read more here: https://lnkd.in/e3ZZTR2W

As a general rule, the fewer seats there are in a car the ‘cooler’ it tends to be; with the three-seater McLaren F1 and GMA T.50 being notable exceptions. #goodwood #goodwoodelevenses The Goodwood Group #autos #autosport #automotive #automotiveindustry #automotiveinnovation #cars #racing #sports #classiccar #classiccars #motorracing #motorsport

Today is my favourite day of the year! The first of the three days Formula 1 testing. 🏁🏎️ After months of intense development all ten F1 teams meet on track and what do they do? They don’t jump right away to competing, they test everything… ✨ The more time I spend in the CRO area, the more I believe that we should test everything, even bug fixes, because you really NEVER know. So what do they test during these 3 days? Well, as much as possible. 🤓 -         Reliability -         Performance -         Tire wear and grip on different compounds -         They also collect base data to confirm if what they saw in the simulations is confirmed in the real life conditions They have hundreds of sensors on the car, that help them collect the data. As a Formula 1 fan, I am fascinated by the similarities between their testing programs and digital experimentation programs. They use simulators ahead of each race to adapt to the different track layouts and conditions. What about you? Do you test everything you release? Do you QA a single line of code for reliability? Do you test every promotion, before launching it live? What % of everything you release do you really test today? p.s. Let’s hope that Lewis Hamilton will get the 8th world championship this season before he changes the colour to red. (not biased at all 😉) #testing #formula1 #inspiration #experimentation #continuousimprovement

Jan Skjodhammer bought a crashed McLaren in 2014 for a "cheap" amount of money and saw it as an easy fix. It took a lot more "time and money" than he had estimated, but he got himself a supercar that he now uses as a daily driver. The McLaren MP4-12C, now simply called the 12C, is a supercar that you can buy for a sale price, compared to what you would have had to pay for it when it was new and what it will offer you. It's a magic car with 625 horsepowers that have a advanced damping system that makes the car hold to even level, if if you break or turn hard. But you might want to buy one now, before the McLaren F1 team gets their act together and starts winning again - because when that happens, everyone is going to want this magic supercar that earns its place in the spotlight. Read the article about Jan, the ride, the 12C, and the wave-breaking inventions that will revolutionise the world - at www.FascinatingCars.se #mclaren #supercars #cararticle #mclaren12c #classiccar #fascinatingcars #sportscar #orangecar #dreamcar #dreamgarage #f1 #lewishamilton #michelin NoviOcean by NOVIGE AB

The 2024 Formula 1 season is set to be the longest and most exciting yet, with 24 races on the calendar. The teams have unveiled their new cars and colours, and the first grand prix is fast approaching. But how do they safeguard the IP in their cars, which gives them the edge over their rivals? A&O's IP experts Nigel Parker, Mark Ridgway, Ed Lucas, Nick Phillips and Betsy Perry share their insights on the legal strategies and challenges in the sport. #IPprotection #intellectualproperty #IPexpert
