the British Grand Prix this past weekend had 10 teams but 11 garages




That's because at the front of the pitlane there was a place reserved for the 'Cars' film where the likes of 'Lightning McQueen' were on display next to the Sauber team.

Although the cars never made it out on track, the computer animated film's voice actors were present including Owen Wilson, who voices McQueen, and Woody Harrelson, plus Lewis Hamilton of course, as he voiced the AI analyst for the character Cruz Ramirez who trains the Lightning McQueen character. In the other versions of the movie, the voice was provided by F1 stars Sebastian Vettel and Fernando Alonso, who voiced the same character in the German, Italian, and Spanish.

The Disney-Pixar produced film made its debut in the UK cinemas this past, so in a marketing move the stars of the film will attend Sunday’s race along with the film’s director and producer.

using vinyl bodywrap to place fake ducting on the bodywork, to distract the competition about the race car design


A set of louvres, a brake duct and a engine cover air extractor all appear in the image above, but all of them are fake simply printed on the wrap in an attempt to throw onlookers off the scent.

airspeed sensor arrays on F1 cars, I found a race car engineering magazine and website that goes into details of testing and design


installed during testing to see how well airfoils are managing the aerodynamics and designs

mistakes are often immediately apparent, and seldom do we get a 2nd chance to do something safely
