F1 Underbody

Bringing the focus of the 2021 aerodynamics to the underbody of the car will not only create a shift in design philosophy but should also at least make a step into improving the on track product. The increase of downforce is mainly contributed by the underbody for example the ferrari f1 2000 according to peter wright produced 413 of its downforce from the floor and diffuser. Undertray or underbody.

The origins of the rear diffuser can be traced back to the 1977 lotus type 78 f1 car conceived by colin chapman peter wright and tony rudd.

F1 underbody. While largely hidden from view these devices are the secret weapons in an arsenal of aerodynamic features for generating downforce on racing cars. Because the bottom of an f1 car is almost never seen we asked wirth to parse it out. Better looking cars 2021 f1 cars will have a radical new design philosophy and striking new look with sweeping bodywork simplified front wings bigger rear wings increased underbody aerodynamics wheel wake control devices simplified suspension and low profile tyres with 18 inch rims. As overall downforce has also increased from cz 26 to cz 37 this equates to more than a doubling of the underbody downforce coefficient over the past 20 years from cz 108 to cz 22.

Underbody tunnels rear diffusers and venturis are common terms used to describe the contouring of a racing cars underbody. Every angle of the 2021 f1 car. A formula 1 car produces much of its downforce from its underside he says. While the 201718 cars produce more than 60 of their downforce from the floor.
