Who won the 2006 Formula 1 world Championship?

The 2007 Formula One season was the 58th FIA Formula One World Championship season. It began on 18 March and ended on 21 October after seventeen Grands Prix. The Drivers' Championship was won by Ferrari driver Kimi Räikkönen by one point at the final race of the season, making Räikkönen the third Finnish driver to take the title. An appeal by McLaren regarding the legality of some cars in the final race could have altered the championship standings, but on 16 November, the appeal was reportedly rejected by the International Court of Appeal, confirming the championship results. Räikkönen entered the final race in third position in the drivers' standings, but emerged as champion after the chequered flag, a feat that had been accomplished only by Giuseppe Farina in 1950. A major talking point of the season had been an espionage controversy involving Ferrari and McLaren, which led to McLaren being excluded from the World Constructors' Championship. As a result, Ferrari clinched the championship at the Belgian Grand Prix.

Why do formula 1 cars have wings?

Wings provide aerodynamics, to both improve handling and make the car faster.

Edit:

Wings provide what is commonly known as downforce. This form of drag forces the cars into the ground when the car is traveling at significant speed, and increases as a function of speed. This downward force allows much more grip in turns due to the car "weighing" more as it is pushed into the car, because friction is equal to the coeficient of friction multiplied by the weight of the object (Or force adhering the surfaces together). So, although they do indeed make the cars go faster around turns, these wings significantly reduce top speed as well as acceleration due to the tremendous drag that they produce.

A race car accelerates from rest of 6 ms2 how fast will the car be going after 5 seconds?

30 m/s

Use the kinematic equation:

vf=vi+at,

where:

vf is the final velocity, vi is the initial velocity, a is the rate of acceleration, and t is the time interval.

Known

vi = 0 m/s

a = 6 m/s2 = 6 m/s/s

t = 5 s

Unknown

vf

Solution

Plug in the known values and solve.

#vf = 0 + 6 m/s/s x 5s = 30 m/s

How are smart materials used in formula one cars?

Nomex®, a fire-resistant, lightweight artificial fibre which undergoes thermal testing in the laboratory. It is subjected to an open flame with a temperature of 300 to 400 degrees Celsius that acts on the material from a distance of three centimetres - only if it fails to ignite within 10 seconds can it be used in a driver's overalls.

Who is theGerman Formula 1 world champion who was badly burned ina crash?

There have only been two German F1 World Champions - Michael Schumacher and Sebastian Vettel. Neither of these drivers have burned in a crash.

However, Niki Lauda is an Austrian triple World Champion who crashed at the 1976 German Grand Prix at the Nurburgring and was caught in a fire and had his ear burned off. He returned to F1 later that year, despite being badly injured. He has always worn a hat since, and currently presents the Austrian F1 coverage.

Also, German driver Wolfgang von Trips probably would have become F1 champion had he not died in a dreadful crash in Monza in 1961, which also killed 14 spectators.

A third person you could be thinking of is the other Austrian World Champ, Jochen Rindt. He died while practicing for the 1970 Italian Grand Prix, also at Monza. He later won the drivers' championship of that same year postumously, when no-one could surpass his points total.

How much fuel capacity of F1 cars?

What is the tire size of a Formula 1 car?

It is hard to speculate on the production cost of a tyre, because teams do not pay for the single tyre, a complete set or all used tyres on a weekend anymore. Nowadays all teams pay a flat fee between 2.5 and 4.5 million Euro per season to their tyre supplier Pirelli.

That sounds a lot initially, but you have to take into account the total numbers and what else comes with it. For each of the 20 race weekends in the 2012 Formula 1 season, Pirelli provides each team with 144 tyres. That amounts to 36 sets or 18 sets per driver for each race. Any tyres, no matter if used or not, are returned to Pirelli who destroys and recycles them.

If you were to calculate a price out of that, you'd get to a range of ~875-1600 Euro per tyre, but it's not the whole truth.

The tyre supplier does more than supply the black gold. The flat fee comes with technical support and a free tyre engineer and who knows what else. Also, teams do not necessarily pay the (full) sum but pay in other ways, like with sponsor displays on their cars.

How physically demanding is driving a formula 1 car?

With no power steering and accelerations of up to 6gs, driving an F1 car is a huge physical feat. In addition the cars are so reliant on downforce, going slowly means that they lose most of their grip and the sheer power-weight ratio means the slightest mistake will send the car into a spin. F1 drivers - even the ones dragging a car round to come in last are hugely talented.
