What is drag reduction system in formula 1 racing?
The Drag Reduction System or DRS is a device that opens a small gap in the rear wing, lowering the downforce at the rear of the car. It can be used at any time during a Practice or qualifying, but only at certain times within the race. Mercedes have a "double DRS", which stalls the front wing as well.
When does an F1 driver use the clutch?
You have to be kidding! Sequential gearboxes maybe. Have you ever ridden a motorbike?Or watched motorsport of any form.H gear selector??? 1,2,,3,R Maybe on a three which would be an "E something"The last time I drove a car it had 6 gears! What cost are they trying to keep down?Driver control I might argue,only when they put a foot clutch back in a car that can be driven by driver & lead by a team not lead by a driver and driven by a team.Don't get me wrong team is very important but come on,how many people does it take to obtain a F1 World Championship! Real question but do we really want to know? The gearboxes of modern Formula One cars are now highly automated with drivers selecting gears via paddles fitted behind the steering wheel. The 'sequential' gearboxes used are very similar in principle to those of motorbikes, allowing gear changes to be made far faster than with the traditional ‘H’ gate selector, with the gearbox selectors operated electrically. Despite such high levels of technology, fully automatic transmission systems, and gearbox-related wizardry such as launch control, are illegal - a measure designed to keep costs down and place more emphasis on driver skill.
Transmissions bolt directly to the back of the engine and incorporate a torque-biasing differential that works in conjunction with the electronic traction control systems to ensure the maximum amount of power is applied to the road. After several years of six-speed gearboxes, most of the grid is now running seven-speed units. Answer obtained at http://www.formula1.com/inside_f1/understanding_the_sport/5280.html So since it is a Manual Transmission it requires a clutch. Hope This Helps.

Where are the winning cars from formula 1 kept?
The winning cars are kept in the "closed park" for further inspection. The FIA officials check the weight of the car, they perform chemical analysis of the remaining fuel (that's why F1 driver must save a bit of fuel even after the race.) They also perform random mechanical inspection. The cars are relased later the same day.
How do race car drivers draft?
Great question. The easy answer here would be to say that the front car punches a hold in the air, and the second follows through that hole, then requiring less power to go the same distance. If you notice when jets fly, they fly side by side. A plane requires air to propel, and for lift under the wings. If they flew one behind the other, the second would not have air for these issues. Thus, falling out of the sky. Now, this is where things get a little deep. As the air passes over, and down the side of the car, when t gets to the end of the vehicle, the air swirls, like a whirlpool, thus "sucking" backward on the car. The second car keeps the air going straight over, or down its panels, and removing that "dirty air," or suction, from the rear of the front car. This is why two cars hooked up going down a straightaway, can go faster than one. You can model this at home with a small fan, a couple of model cars, and a smoke emitting object. Chuck......

Can a car with big tires at speed of 80 mph overtakes car with small tires at speed of 80 mph?
No because both cars are going the same speed.
Changing the size of a tire effectively changes the gear ratio the car drives in. A larger tire will gear the car up and so it will have a higher top speed.

The Formula One series has its roots in the European Grand Prix Motor Racing of the 1920s and 1930s. The "formula" is a set of rules which all participants and cars must meet. Formula One was a new formula agreed after World War II in 1946, with the first non-championship races being held that year. A number of Grand Prix racing organizations had laid out rules for a World Championship before the war, but due to the suspension of racing during the conflict, the World Drivers' Championship was not formalized until 1947. The first world championship race was held at Silverstone, United Kingdom in 1950.
