Formula One
Across
- 3. The rotation of the car around its vertical axis, affecting its direction.
- 4. A high-powered tool used by pit crews to quickly remove and attach wheel nuts during pit stops.
- 6. Wireless transmission of data from the car to the pit crew for analysis.
- 8. A device that increases engine power by forcing extra air into the combustion chamber.
- 11. A car that limits the speed of competing cars on track during hazardous conditions.
- 12. A structural approach where the chassis is integrated into a single shell, enhancing strength and safety.
- 13. Small pieces of rubber debris on the track, often causing reduced grip.
- 15. A high-strength synthetic polymer used in F1 for safety components like cockpit protection.
- 16. When the rear wheels lose grip before the front wheels, causing the rear to slide outward.
- 17. When the front wheels lose grip before the rear wheels, causing the car to turn less than intended.
- 20. Lightweight, high-strength material used in the construction of F1 car chassis.
- 21. Aerodynamic force that pushes the car onto the track, increasing grip.
- 22. Chaotic air movement caused by a car, affecting the aerodynamics of following cars.
- 23. The distance between the front and rear axles of the car.
- 24. Small aerodynamic devices that create vortices to improve airflow and downforce.
Down
- 1. The wear and loss of performance of tyres over time.
- 2. Area of reduced air pressure behind a moving car, allowing following cars to gain speed.
- 5. A stop during the race for refueling, tyre changes, or repairs.
- 7. The angle of the car's body from front to rear, influencing aerodynamic performance.
- 9. The technical inspection of cars to ensure they meet all regulations.
- 10. Sessions that determine the starting order for the race based on lap times.
- 14. Starting the race from the front-most grid spot, achieved by the fastest qualifier.
- 18. The innermost point of a racing line through a corner.
- 19. A pit stop strategy aiming to gain track position by pitting earlier than competitors.
- 20. A tight sequence of corners in alternate directions, designed to slow down cars.
