C5: This tyre is suitable for all circuits that demand high levels of mechanical grip, but the trade-off for this extra speed and adhesion is considerably shorter
lifespan than the other tyres in the range. Only ever have a red (soft) stripe

Colours
Red: ‘soft tyre’. These tyres are fastest but only last 20-30 laps meaning cars have to pit more/earlier.
White: ‘hard tyre’. These tyres last the longest, about 30-50 laps, but at the expense of speed and grip. They are usually used so drivers don’t have to pit often
Yellow: ‘medium tyre’. These aren’t the most durable but last longer than softs, they last an average of 30-35 laps.

aerodynamic performance. The front wing has to create downforce and work air around the front tyres. Points
The central section of the front wing must have a 500mm wide neutral section on each car, this creates a vortex to
improve the quality of the airflow around the car. Reserves
The endplates increase the downforce produced and guide the airflow around the tyre.
In 2019, the front wings were widened to 2 metres and regulations were tightened, the idea behind the change meant Car Parts
that closer racing could occur on track.
Records
Dictionary
The Rear Wing
The rear wing contains the drag reduction system (DRS), it lifts the leading edge of the wing up by 85mm
to create a larger slot which reduces the drag and boosts the car to its top speed. When the driver stops
accelerating, the DRS closes automatically and ensures the driver gets their downforce back.
Around a circuit there are usually multiple DRS zones, usually on the long straights. When a driver is
within one second of another car, they may use DRS to attempt to overtake the car ahead.
The Suspension
This is a link with a car and its wheels. Teams are allowed up to 6
structural members per wheel, typically made up of double wishbones, the
pushrod or pullrod and a steering arm or track rod. When the wheel moves
up in response to the track, the spring is pushed into compression by the

generating downforce. When the diffuser opens up the airflow accelerates
further, creating an area of low pressure under the floor.
The diffuser has to be carefully shaped to ensure no separation of airflow as it
exits the space under the car. Turbulent airflow can damage the performance,
creating pockets of higher pressure which can upset the stability of the car’s
underbody. The Sidepods
The sidepods play an important role in keeping the car as
streamline as possible, covering the radiators and manifolds
and minimising drag. The main radiator inlets are positioned
on both sides of the car and have to allow for enough air to
cool the power unit and stop it from overheating.
