1. How is a Formula 1?
In this power point know each one of the
pieces that make up these stunning race
cars.

2. CHASSIS
The chassis provides rigidity and shape of a vehicle or object.
The chassis holding some mechanical parts, for example the
engine, the suspension, the exhaust system and the steering
box.
The chassis considered the most significant component of
a car. It is the most fundamental element that gives
strength and stability to the vehicle under different
conditions.

3. ENGINE
The engine is a essential element of this sport.
The engine and transmission of a modern Formula
One car are some of the most highly stressed
pieces of machinery on the planet, and the
competition to have the most power on the grid is
still intense.

4. Gearbox
GEARBOX
The gearboxes of modern Formula One
cars are now highly automated with
drivers selecting gears via paddles fitted
behind the steering wheel. The
'sequential' gearboxes used are very
similar in principle to those of
motorbikes, allowing gear changes to
be made far faster than with the
traditional ‘H’ gate selector, with the
gearbox selectors operated electrically.

5. DAMPERS
Dampers must absorb the irregularities of the
track and to keep the car subject to it. They are
very hard to withstand the high loads
generated and prevent the fireball touches the
ground. Tires play an important role in the
damping of the vehicle.

6. BRAKES
They are designed to work in extreme
conditions. A Formula 1 car 320 slows to 80
mph in just 3 seconds in a distance of 100
meters.

7. TYRES
Formula One tyres play a significant role in the performance
of a Formula One car. The tyres have undergone significant
changes throughout the history of Formula One, with
different manufacturers and specifications used in the sport.

8. AERODYYNAMICS
It is one of the most critical points in Formula 1.
Because of the high speeds achieved, each piece should
be analyzed minutely to improve the car's performance.
Aeronautical techniques are applied in their
development.

9. WHEEL
This carbon fiber manufactured and areas where the pilot is
covered with leather catches. It is a complex electronic system that
provides the driver to control all elements of the car. Must be
removed when the pilot up or down the vehicle.

10. TELEMETRY
All aspects such as
speed, acceleration, braking, engine
temperature, the movements of the
suspensions, the position of the pedals and G
force is measured and controlled from the pit
while the car is rolling on the track
