Across
  1. 2. Bias : The distribution of braking force between the front and rear wheels to optimize braking performance.
  2. 4. Lane : The lane leading to the pit area, where drivers enter for pit stops.
  3. 5. Stop : A scheduled pause during a race where the racing car receives maintenance and refueling, carried out by the team mechanics.
  4. 7. : The turbulent air behind a car that can be used advantageously by following drivers to gain speed.
  5. 9. Wall : The area where the team's strategists and race engineers monitor the race and communicate with the drivers.
  6. 11. Lap : A lap taken before the race starts to warm up tires and engines and allow drivers to position themselves on the grid.
  7. 14. : The technique of following closely behind another car to reduce aerodynamic drag and increase speed.
  8. 16. : The aerodynamic force pushing the car toward the ground, increasing grip and stability.
  9. 18. : A series of tight corners introduced to slow down the cars on a straight portion of the track.
  10. 19. Ferme : The secured area where cars are kept after qualifying and before the race to prevent teams from making major changes.
  11. 21. Compound : The specific type of rubber used in a tire, which affects its performance and durability.
  12. 22. : The starting formation of cars before a race begins.
  13. 23. Car : A vehicle deployed on the track during caution periods to control the race pace after an accident or hazardous situation.
  14. 24. Start : When a driver moves before the race officially begins, resulting in a penalty.
  15. 26. Trap : An area filled with loose gravel outside the track to slow down cars that run off the racing line.
  16. 27. Flag : A flag shown to slower drivers to indicate faster cars are approaching and they should yield the position.
  17. 29. Limits : The boundaries that drivers must stay within during the race. Exceeding track limits can lead to penalties.
  18. 31. : When the rear of the car loses traction and slides outward in a corner.
  19. 32. Plane : Small winglets on the front of the car that help generate downforce and improve cornering.
Down
  1. 1. Jacker : A device used to adjust the weight distribution of the car during pit stops.
  2. 3. : A tight, U-shaped corner where drivers often slow down significantly before accelerating out.
  3. 4. Position : The top starting position on the grid, earned by the fastest qualifying time.
  4. 6. : A system that allows drivers to adjust their rear wing to reduce drag and increase speed on certain parts of the track.
  5. 8. : Rubber debris that accumulates off the racing line, making it slippery and less grippy.
  6. 10. : The area where teams set up their garages and equipment during race events.
  7. 12. : When a car doesn't turn enough in a corner despite steering input.
  8. 13. : The raised platform where the top three drivers stand to receive their trophies after the race.
  9. 15. Control : An electronic system that helps prevent wheelspin and maintain grip during acceleration.
  10. 17. : To pass another car and move ahead in position during the race.
  11. 20. Speed : The highest speed reached at the apex of a corner.
  12. 25. Tires : Smooth tires with no tread pattern, used on dry tracks to maximize grip.
  13. 28. Man : The person who holds the "lollipop" sign at pit stops, indicating when the car can leave the pit box.
  14. 29. Trial : A competition in which drivers attempt to set the fastest lap time possible.
  15. 30. : The point on a corner's inner side where the racing line is closest to the inside of the turn.
