The Nose cone is designed to deform in this way because as it deforms during an impact the cars velocity is reduced over a longer period of time. ie. it has a smaller decelleration. This means that according to newtons second law F=MA or force = mass X Acceleration, with the mass staying the same and the acceleration being smaller a smaller force must be exerted on the vehicle and its occupants compared with a vehicle that has a nosecone that is solid and dosent deform

The sidepods are designed the same, and we saw this in action at Spa this year with Hamilton's crash.

@chupaisto1 Normally I wouldn't care to address a clearly very ignorant user's comment on YouTube. But I must admit yours has flared my temper, somewhat. Had safety standards and intelligent design of this caliber been present in 1994, we may not have tragically lost the life of Roland Ratzenberger, who died as a result of his injuries sustained from a huge frontal impact. These tests save lives, and a life is invaluable.

@muiramas too right, when i went to a spyker test at stowe circuit silverstone. a guy there was explaining the front wing and how upon impact it is momentarily subjected to over 185 G-forces

The nose on a Formula 1 car is designed to be obliterated. It absorbs the energy from the crash. And no, the drivers' legs aren't in this part of the car, this is way at the front (the part that they can swap out in a few seconds for a new front end if it gets dammaged). This was probabably an extremely fast speak and it was straight into a solid wall, that never happens in Formula 1, there is always a tirewall.

What a silly thing to say - the drivers legs are nowhere near this part - the feel are located about a 18 inches / 2 feet behind the front wheel.
this part is supposed to disintegrate so the energy is not transferred to the driver.
