Video: How does an F1 front wing work?

2 Replies

In my first proper YouTube video, I explain the basic design features of a modern F1 front wing. As you can see, it’s a bit rough round the edges, but I’m reasonably happy with my first attempt. Please like the video if you enjoyed it and subscribe to my channel for more!

    Nice and clear ! Thanks for this video. As a complement, would you know of a video that show the actual air flow around and behind the front wing ?

      Thanks, Pierre! I only know one off the top of my head and it was done by Sauber. Here’s a link to a screen grab of the CFD image they had in the video – https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=f1+cfd+front+wing&tbm=isch&imgil=eQ0GI1dWzsTnvM%253A%253BDTAT49QdsYJ6TM%253Bhttp%25253A%25252F%25252Fwww.totalsimulation.co.uk%25252Fwp%25252Fsecrets-formula-1-front-wing%25252F&source=iu&pf=m&fir=eQ0GI1dWzsTnvM%253A%252CDTAT49QdsYJ6TM%252C_&usg=__ks5tNN6GcLR4CTN5Vufi85kh9wc%3D&biw=1366&bih=638&ved=0ahUKEwia–OjtprRAhWDe1AKHfu2AdkQyjcINA&ei=fYplWNrIPIP3wQL77YbIDQ#imgrc=eQ0GI1dWzsTnvM%3A
