Welcome to the Wiki of Formula One

A scholarly and technical resource for understanding the engineering, analytics, and competitive systems of Formula One. Bridging race history with physics, design, data science, and regulation.

🛠️ Technical Engineering

🌀 Aerodynamics	⚙️ Power Units	📐 Chassis & Suspension
Flow dynamics, DRS, CFD vs wind tunnel testing, drag-to-downforce.	Internal combustion, MGU-K, ERS systems, fuel mapping, hybrid control.	Suspension geometry, ride height, weight distribution, braking force.

📊 Strategy and Performance Analytics

📈 Strategy Modelling	⏱️ Lap Time Analysis	🛞 Tyre Behaviour
Undercut/overcut, pit stop decision trees, VSC/SC timing effects.	Sector-by-sector analysis, consistency metrics, qualifying vs race pace.	Thermal degradation, compound delta, tyre cliff prediction models.

🧾 Historical Archives

📅 Championship Seasons	🏆 World Champions	📜 Regulation Evolution
Chronological archive of all F1 seasons, races and results.	From 1950 to present, with full driver and constructor stats.	Technical and sporting rule changes, budget caps, token systems.

🧠 Research Tools and Concepts

- Glossary of Formula One technical terms - Correlation between CFD and track data - Comparison of design philosophies (e.g. high-rake vs low-rake) - Simulator telemetry vs real-world telemetry - Drag-to-downforce optimisation (team-by-team)
