Interesting facts about Formula 1
Not many people know, but Formula 1 - one of the most accurate sports. There's even a minimal pilot error may cause a serious accident. Just imagine that in a race that lasts about 90-120 minutes, every pilot has to switch the speed of the order of 2600 times, and to slow down, perform 12 procedures. As you know, you can not be distracted even for a second. It is also interesting to know the cost of all necessary components for the race. For example, the installation, which runs a mobile tire service, worth about $ 14 million. And the car - not less than 4 million. Even the helmet, which uses a pilot is 40 thousand dollars.
Modern rules
Did you know that at the moment every car has on board two engines instead of one, as it was earlier. The second engine - the so-called Quercy.
This year, the technology banned for use, but the following is likely to be allowed again. In fact, a generator with an electric motor, which is gaining energy during braking wheels. The reason for which he was temporarily banned, explained simply: it leads to the resonance of the body and the first engine, because of which the lining of car crashes. And since the repair of glass and the body in the pit stop is possible only in part, the use of KEPCO led to the fact that many when you restart the car just dropped out of the race.
Electronics
Every Formula 1 car today is a high-tech computer. For example, they set about (Listen Only!) 74 sensors responsible for the operation of various units, and up to 7 high-definition cameras. To work alone, these systems require power no less than 175 watts. In themselves fireballs laid about 1 km of wire.
