Work or tire pitstops in Formula 1 Bashny.Net

Formula 1 - sports advanced technologies, many of which first appeared here, honed and perfected, then to find its application in automotive mass.

One of the very important aspects of any race in Formula 1 pitstop is - a mandatory procedure for any driver to replace the tires during the race. Those are the rules - at least once the driver must stop in the pits to change tires. This procedure takes extra time since you need to take the time to check on the pitlane, traffic on it (speed is limited to 100, 80, and on some tracks and 60 km / h) and the very replacement wheels.

Naturally, when you are fighting on the track for a split second, the loss of time during a pit stop can be catastrophic in terms of race results, especially when you are fighting for the lead. Therefore pitstops in Formula 1 have learned to carry out in seconds, literally.

I do not know whether the technology will reach replacement wheels for three seconds before conventional tire, but as in Formula 1, take a look below

2. First, I'll start with the wheels.
Uses 3 types of tires: slicks for dry tracks, mixed ("intermediate tires") to slightly damp and rain wet. Rain is an exception for Formula 1, so often used tires for a dry track.
Tires in Formula 1 provides a supplier with whom FOM signed.
The last few years, this well-known company Pirelli.
At each stage of each driver is brought to a limited number of two sets of rubber compositions (there are four slicks composition - hard, medium, soft and Supersoft).
Tires just before setting off on the machine are stored in special covers, where they are heated to the desired temperature.
Because of the very high speed on the highway, rapid heating of the tires is crucial because on cold tires is significantly reduced grip and, consequently, increases the level of danger for the rider falls and lap times on the track



3. Each team itself marks its tires, based on where and how it intends to use each set



4. This formular wrenches.
That this tool, you can remove the wheel as 0, 8 seconds to tie for the same 0, 8 seconds



5. And this is, in fact, he takes a pit stop.
To change the race four-wheel drive for about three seconds, employs 20 people.

The car literally flies on a point changing wheels.
The important skill of the rider to stop exactly at the desired point, where the mechanics are already ready and waiting to vchepitsya wrenches in his wheel and clear action mechanics with jacks that must immediately lift the machine



7. The share of second - all rush to the wheels.
In unison sound four kaykoverta. Wheel removes special person here. the other puts a new wheel.
Again wrenches



8. It remains to pull out jacks and send the car into the race.
For everything 2, 5-3 seconds
The record time is 1, 923 seconds, set Rad Bull team when replacing wheels on the car of Mark Webber in the Grand Prix of the United States in 2013



9. But to so quickly and harmoniously replaced the wheel during the race, the team almost daily workout routine is performed



10. Sometimes, for an hour, sometimes two ...
They simply removed and put wheels removed and put.



11. During formular weekend in Sochi, I watched one of the training, which was conducted team Lotus



12. side of the process is somewhat different than the top.
It seems like a lot of fuss and Mechanics interfere with each other.
Remove the old wheel



13. In fact, it is not. All clear
Mechanic cleans to remove a wheel



14. Put the new wheel



15. All!

16. In what it looks like on video

And the rear view




17. Chief Mechanic is timing.
He was not very happy. We'll have to repeat the exercise again



18, last. The car jacks again, and again ...
howling wrenches And so also had very many attempts.
And all for the sake of winning a split second in the race
