Pioneering a New Era: Flavio Briatore to Lead Alpine F1 Team as Boss

The Alpine Formula 1 squad is in the process of appointing a new full-time team principal following the sudden departure of Oliver Oakes at the beginning of May. Oakes resigned shortly after his brother was arrested, leading to Flavio Briatore temporarily covering the role. However, Briatore, acting as an executive advisor to Renault, is not a full-time employee, so the racing director is the official representative. During the team representatives’ press conference, Briatore mentioned they are actively seeking a replacement but will take their time to make the right decision.…

Racing Rigor: F1’s Clampdown on Flexi Wings at the Spanish GP

Starting with the Spanish Grand Prix this weekend, Formula 1 is implementing stricter testing regulations for front wings to limit the permitted flex under load. The previous limit of 15mm deflection under load, as stated in Article 3.15.4 of the technical regulations, is being reduced to 10mm. Over the years, aero-elasticity has been a point of interest, with teams designing bodywork to deform or flex in a controlled manner to gain aerodynamic advantages. Materials science advancements have made it easier to predict and control the amount of flex in components…

Unveiling the Ultimate Stability: F1’s Battle Against Flexi-Wings at the Spanish GP

Starting from this weekend’s Spanish Grand Prix, the testing regime for Formula 1 car front wings will be intensified to limit allowable flex under load. According to Article 3.15.4 of F1’s technical regulations, the maximum deflection permitted for front wing flap areas will be reduced from 15mm to 10mm. Teams have been exploring aero-elasticity in car designs since the 1990s, utilizing controlled flex to potentially enhance performance and speed. Advances in materials science, like carbon-fiber composites, have enabled teams to optimize strength, weight, and predictable flex in components. The focus…
