Why is it that, in nearly every Formula-1 crash I see, the car(s) basically disintegrates, flying apart in a thousand pieces to a degree rarely seen in NHRA or NASCAR?
@DKN117 Best option in any crash is to have parts of the car come away from the main driver pod. Every piece of debris that flys away from the car takes some of the energy of the crash with it.
Considering the minimum weight for a F-1 car is only 640 Kg (including Driver) The materials used are far more fragile than in NASCAR, the V8 Super cars ect.
F1 cars are designed with maximum down force and minimal ground clearance to allow for extreme speeds. However, down force only applies when the car is moving forward...what you see is the combination of the opposite due to the crash. Good vid.
@wes3tomcat Thanks for catching that, but it doesn't change the explanation- The two words are interchangeable. However, it is observable that debris may have wedged underneath the car, so the cause for the rapid ascent may-be/ is a blend of the two.
i agree at 2:53 that was the weirdest crash i have seen too, i've gone back several times and still don't know what picked that car off the ground so quick like that
It seems that a few commenters seem to have confused Indycar and Formula 1. n00bs
