Formula one cars aren't just fast, they get fast….really fast!





It's great to have a car that reaches 350 km/h but it's fascinating to do that in just seconds, let's shed some light of F1 car's acceleration.

Formula one cars are among the fastest accelerating vehicles on earth. Theoretically, F1 cars can reach 0-60 in just 1.6 seconds. However, the normal range for F1 cars is somewhere between 2.1 to 2.7 seconds but what's helping this impressive acceleration? The answer would be its unique "power-to-weight ratio"

The average F1 car weighs around 1,300 pounds including the driver's weight and generates over 750 horsepower. This astonishing ratio is the main reason for its rapid acceleration.

It's been a long time since Ferrari last won the F1 constructors' championship. 2019 would mark an 11-year drought for the Italian experts.

Social Media Last but, surely, not least is the. There's no doubt that we live in the era of The German Beast.

Formula one has always been marked with speed and the glorious sound of its roaring engines. Engineers spend years to make rapid cars under control. However, as Mario Andretti once said: “If everything seems under control, you're not going fast enough.”

Formula one races are all about the speed. Manufacturers spend thousands of hours and millions of dollars just to come up with the most rapid cars. Drivers also have to train for years just to learn how to tame the four-wheel monster.Keep reading to learn "fast" info on F1 cars.When you hear the words "fast and car", the first question that would immediately pop into your mind is "?"The short answer to this question would be "Very Very Fast" while the detailed answer will be discussed in the next few lines.The "official" record to the fastest speed, on Formula one tracks, belongs towhen he recordedas the top speed In the testing month before the 2005 Italian Grand Prix, FIA recognized the record as the fastest speed ever on F1 tracks although it wasn't set during an official race weekend.In 2016 Mexican Grand Prix,with his Williams car reached a top speed ofmonitors showed the record, however,hasn't accepted it yet as the official record!must be really pissed with FIA as in the qualifications for the 2016 European Grand Prix, the Finnish driver set even a higher top speed when reached, according to Williams' account on Twitter and again FIA refused to acknowledge the record stating that Bottas' top sped was onlywhich didn't break Montoya's record!Aside fromandconfusion, there is a record that beats both former records and with a HUGE margin but also with a twist!In 2005,came up with the Bonneville 400 project. The idea was to make the fastest F1 car of all timeset a record with its modifiedwhen it reached a record ofon a one way straight line butexplained that the car didn't satisfy the requirements of F1 rules asa used a moveable aerodynamic rudder for stability control, Formula one regulations state clearly that any specific parts affect the aerodynamic performance of the car must beThe brave attempt never saw the light of the racing tracks but it turned out to be a huge marketing success for the British company.Speaking about top speed, we have to mention the king of fastest laps, and probably the king of the sport in general,The German Legend holds the record, with a vast gap, for the fastest laps completed by a driver.dominated the game for years. He started his career in 1991 and ended it in 2012. During those years, Michael ranks first among formula one drivers by the number of fastest laps with 77 laps, 31 laps away fromwho comes second with 46 laps followed byand(41 laps each.)Despite this wondrous achievement, Schumacher couldn't help Germany top the List of nations in the same category as Germany comes second with (157 fastest lap completed by 12 drivers) behind Britain (230 fastest laps completed by 22 drivers)As a result,had another record with the fastest average lap speed ofbeatingSome critics argue that Constructors' championship is more competitive and much more difficult than drivers' championship. That is an understandable argument if we take into account the efforts and details that these constructors care about to come up with the FASTEST car.So what are some of the elements that determine the car's speed?There is a number of factors which affect the speed of F1 cars including (Engine power, downforce setting, and care rake). The constructors pay attention to every little detail hoping to reach the pole positions.Here are some of thewhich would be speed dominating in 2019.Since last year,teamed up with.
