Formula 1 cars

Open-wheel racing vehicles

Formula 1 cars are the single-seat, open-wheel racing vehicles used in Formula One, the highest class of international auto racing.

These cars represent cutting-edge engineering—lightweight carbon fiber construction, powerful hybrid engines, and intricate aerodynamic designs that generate enormous downforce.

They reach speeds over 200 mph and corner at forces that would incapacitate untrained drivers.

The new regulations changed how Formula 1 cars can race in dirty air.
