What do F1 cars do at rest stops?

A rest stop for a Formula 1 car is a place where the car is simply tuned, trimmed and the driver takes a short break during the race, and in this high-intensity race, both the car and the driver are challenged to the limit and need such a rest stop for trimming and replenishment. Rest stops are usually improvised and take about 50 people nearly 36 hours.

An ordinary rest stop includes: protective walls, computers, cables, telemetry instruments and other nearly 12 tons of materials and equipment. Racing races race against the clock, all the trimming work (changing tires, repairing devices, refueling, ......must be done in the shortest possible time, which requires the tacit collaboration of all members of the group.

Every step in the rest stop had to be precise and fast, so that the driver and the car could face the race in the best possible condition, while not taking too long. Therefore, F1 is not just a race for the driver alone, it requires the combined efforts of the mechanic, coordinator, liaison and all other members.

1) Media Management Zone.

Usually in a race, a team will send several players to compete at the same time. Therefore, teamwork between drivers is very important, and the most common tactic is to sacrifice other competitors as escorts to ensure the best results in the main race. In the management area, there will be a number of screens that will constantly monitor the live action of each section, where the team's liaison and coordinator will monitor the overall situation of the race and some telemetry data, and relay instructions to the drivers via radio.

2) Driveway.

This is a dedicated track for cars to enter and exit the rest stops, it has only one lane and a speed limit of 80 kilometers per hour.

4) Preparation area.

Two racing cars can be accommodated at the same time, and spare racing chassis can be stored here. Each car has its own special tools, which are here to be ready for trimming.

5) Computer Zone.

The state of the car's movement needs to be analyzed in real time through many parameters, and more than a dozen computers dedicated to this job communicate all the information to the engineers, without missing a single detail.

6) Engine area.

This is the most sacred place, where the engineers carried out brief commissioning and temporary overhauls of the engine unit, the heart of the car.

7) Machinery Zone.

All the transmission parts needed for the race car are stored here, where the mechanics are constantly debugging and preparing for replacement and repair.

8) Trucks.

All the supplies needed for the race are transported by large trucks, and the transport aisle is located on the other side of the rest stop.

9) Tires.

Tires are the most frequently replaced parts in racing and they are also key to the safety of the car, they are stored in specific areas and are strictly monitored and inspected at all times.

F1 also has to do some work such as developing cars and testing new cars when they are not in the pit stops!

R&D of new technologies and testing of race cars.

R&D of racing cars and testing of new racing cars.

Every time the car stops, 22 crew members are involved.

12 technicians are responsible for changing tires (three in each round, one is responsible for removing and locking screws with an air wrench, one is responsible for removing old tires, and one is responsible for installing new tires).

1 person is responsible for operating the front jack.

1 person is responsible for operating the rear jack.

1 person is responsible for operating the special jack when the nose wing of the front of the car is damaged and must be replaced.

One of the high-pressure cylinders required to check the pneumatic recovery of the engine valves and replenish the high-pressure air if necessary.

1 assists in supporting the tubing.

1 person is on standby with a fire extinguisher.

One person, called "Mr. Lollipop", is in charge of holding a board with "brakes" and "gear" written on it, and when the sign is raised, it means that the car is ready to leave the pits. And he was the only one of the 22 who had a wireless ** to talk to the drivers.

1 person is responsible for wiping the driver's helmet.

During the finals, you must enter the pit lane to change the tires and refuel according to the wear and fuel consumption of the tires, which is called pit stop. It usually takes 21 people to do a pit stop at a time, but this is not absolute, because sometimes the front wing needs to be adjusted, in which case two more people have to be added.

Let's take a look at how the F1 maintenance team members work together to do their jobs!

1. The technician responsible for the rear jack support.

2. The technician responsible for installing the left rear wheel.

3. A technician holding an electric wrench with the left rear wheel.

4. The technician responsible for unloading the left rear wheel.

5. Technician in charge of vehicle support.

6. Electronic display screen cleaner.

7. The technician who unloads the left front wheel.

8. A technician holding an electric wrench with the left front wheel.

9. Technician who installs the left front wheel.

10. The chief technician who holds the repair control card.

11. Technician supported by the front jack.

12. The technician responsible for unloading the right front wheel.

13. A technician holding an electric wrench with the right front wheel.

14. The technician responsible for installing the right front wheel.

15. Technician who scrubs oil and dirt.

16. Technician responsible for oil hose supply.

17. The technician in charge of the fuel injector.

18. A technician holding an electric wrench on the right rear wheel.

19. The technician who unloads the right rear wheel.

20, the technician who installs the right rear wheel.

There are usually three mechanics for a tyre, and there are obviously two technicians who adjust the front wing, but sometimes it is not necessary.

Of course, there are staff with portable fire extinguishers around just in case, but they are generally track staff.

Another thing to say is that Ferrari doesn't need a lollipop man.

But Ferrari only have 21 people, and they don't have lollipops anymore.

Formula 1 Racing Rules: Teams and drivers must have a license recognized by the FIA.

Must get an FIA driver's license - Karting - BMW Formula Renault - F3000 - F3 - F2 - GP2 - F1.

First of all, you should have money. F1 is supposed to be the most expensive sport in the world. I don't have any money, don't say too much! You're still young. If you're over 20 this year, you don't have to dream!

Drivers or ordinary drivers of the world's top racing must start at an early age, and the training of these drivers must rely on the joint efforts of three people, or even the support of one country. To become an F1 driver, you have to go through several stages.

The first stage is between 8 and 12 years old. Riders must win all levels of karting races, both nationally and internationally. At this stage, drivers train in the basics of various cars, including the best routes. You can also feel the atmosphere in the car.

The second stage, between the ages of 12 and 16. At this stage, drivers begin to enter the elementary stages of Formula 1 and participate in formula races on campus. These future Formula 1 drivers must stand out in the race and become the best drivers in Formula 1 at the moment.

At this time, the Formula 1 stage is entered so that the drivers can familiarize themselves with and familiarize themselves with the model as soon as possible.

The third stage is between 16 and 22 years old. Especially in F3, most of the current Formula 1 drivers are between the ages. The drivers have had great success on campus and are now ready to move on to the advanced formulation stage.

The so-called advanced equations mainly refer to the F3, Reynolds equations, and F2000 equations. A driver who wants to enter Formula 1 needs to perform well in competition at this level and even win the World Championship directly from the former to the latter. Of course, in addition to F3, Formula 1 can also be used as a way to get into F1, such as F3000, Indy, and many more.

The technical and difficult nature of these races is very close to Formula 1. But there are some exceptions, such as McLaren's Finnish teenager Raikkonen, who went straight from Renault to the Formula 1 team.

In the fourth stage, he will become a test driver for Formula 1, when the driver achieves results in Formula 1 and becomes the most beloved driver. F1 test drivers are not tasked with racing, unless the normal driver is injured or unable to race. The test drivers were tasked with continuing to drive Formula 1 cars and advising car designers to improve their performance.

At the same time, it's a great opportunity for young newbies to increase their F1 driving time.

Drivers brake near big corners on straight lines, and trained drivers have a similar amount of braking time.

Of course, the genius Schumacher and Hakkinen have shorter braking zones), and in general, the drivers don't make tight corners in order to take a route as straight as possible in order to get back into a position where they can re-accelerate quickly.

Great care must be taken when taking the straights, as well as programmable computer control modules that control all of the above functions.

A typical F1 car steering wheel will have many more control buttons than a typical car steering wheel, and these buttons will perform the following functions:

Control the clutch, control the engine stall, control the shifts, so the drivers must not let go, and usually slow down on straight roads.

The most important thing is to keep the momentum as strong as possible, as if you want to eat the runway. He brakes late and accelerates early, and the drivers have to find the straightest line between the two corners, the same principle as a typical road car, but the power steering on the car is more efficient.

The crew first ignites the car on the outside, so that the car's engine is running. After that, the start is done by the riders themselves, as the launch control system has been removed.

When starting, first hang 1st gear, then step on the accelerator with your right foot, and slowly release the clutch with your hand (the clutch of F1 is controlled by hand) Be careful to be slow, otherwise the ignition will be turned off. The start of F1 is similar to the feeling of starting in 3rd or 4th gear in a civilian car, and it is difficult to control.

In formula racing, there is no self-contained ignition, all external ignition is used. His aim was not only to reduce the weight of the car (usually the weight of an F1 car is less than the 600kg (empty car + driver weight) required for the race, and it is customary to use ballast to fill the car to the required weight), but also to achieve the most suitable weight distribution and aerodynamics of the body. By the way, with an external lighter, there is also an extra scenery, every time you enter the pit stop to refuel, you can see a person standing behind the car with a "gun" pointing at the rear of the car, and the whole pit stop process is busy and orderly.

I can check it on various portals by myself, and I can find it, and it is very specific, which track of the **

Yes, Singapore's Marina Bay Street Circuit is a section of the road that is blocked to run F1.

Generally speaking, no matter what kind of racing car it is, it can't be legally on the road, and the F1 car is louder than the Boeing 747, but you can do whatever you want with money. In the promotional video of the Red Bull F1, there are those who drive on the road, those that are resistant to food delivery, and even run in the desert.
