Italy Monza GP - F1 Tamizhan

Circuit length : 5.793 km
Laps : 53
Total race length : 306.72
Direction : clockwise

Monza, the temple of speed. Circuit with the highest average speed and average lap time only around 90seconds in the F1 calendar. It's Ferrari's hometown, and they always try to put some show around.
The track is a combination of long straights and chicanes that just don't suit Ferrari's cars right now.
Cars are exclusively built for tracks such as Spa and Monza for extremely low drag setups due to a lot of straights. almost 80% of the lap goes on full throttle.

Sector 1
The lap starts with the longest straight of around 1.1 km and cars reach a maximum of 340kmph before the first corner. Even before the lap takes it toll on the driver , they experience around 5.8g of deceleration to slow the car to around 70kmph for taking the first corner. It is the important overtaking spot of the track.
The first chicane, the first corner is immediately followed by a hard left, taking it in the middle of the corner. There is a 300kmph flat out corner, turn 3.

Sector 2
The next sector starts with medium speed chicane leading into a double apex corner turn 6 and turn 7. Having a perfect radius turn and a good exit dictates speed along the following straight leading to the famous Ascari corner, kind of multichicane.

Sector 3
The double chicane turn 8, turn 9 and turn 10 pushes drivers to steer through successive corners with great accuracy to have a good exit. What is gained in the Ascari corner is gained for the whole lap. Down the straight, cars reach a maximum of 330 Kmph. Here comes the second hardest braking zone with 5g of deceleration leading to final corner turn 11, parabolica. Corner with a constantly increasing radius, high-speed right-hander , much more challenging corner which is taken at 220kmph. Once again, having a good exit leads into the pitlane straight for the next perfect lap.

Last year it was glory for the home team Ferrari. with tables turned, they lie beneath the midfielders for the race. hope the team builds up and becomes competitive again.

How does Formula One (F1) Rear Wing operate ?

Image
Formula 1  Rear wing - F1 Tamizhan Before the diffuser came into action, it was wing structures that were included in front and rear, which are called as front and rear bodyworks. As we have seen in previous posts, more than 50% of the downforce is contributed by the rear body works, wing and diffuser. What is rear wing? The rear wing consists of two elements 1. Main plane 2. Adjustable flap Both the elements are in the shape of inverted airfoil held together in position with help of endplates. The main plate does not move and remains fixed. The purpose of endplates are to compensate the resulting vortices formed from wing edges which we will see in the upcoming post. Here we explore the structure of rear wing and how does it work. a. How does the main plane function? It directs the clean air flowing over the side bodywork upwards thereby exerting downforce that makes the car to stick more to the ground. The whole design has to in such a way, the stall should not happen because of ...

How does drag Reduction system (DRS) function in a Formula 1 car ?

Image
  What does adjusting flaps do? Adjusting the flap breaks the operation of the main plate of the rear wing and flaps together as a single unit. This improves the speed of the car by 10-15kmph by reducing the downforce (depends on design) and drag ( 5%). How does it reduce downforce and drag? As we see in the image, when the flap is deployed, airflow over the wing is broken and separated. This creates a condition of the wake that reduces the effectiveness of the wing, much of the air escapes the gap between the main plate and flap, thereby reducing downforce and consequent drag of the car. As downforce and drag is reduced, the car lightens thereby increasing top speed by 10-15 kmph.
