Formula One travels to #hungary for Round 11 of the 2021 Formula One season, the last race before F1’s summer break.
Toto Talks Hungary
Everyone has their own opinion on the events of Silverstone, and it was a very polarising incident. However, the most important thing is that Max is OK. It’s never nice to see a car crashing, particularly at such high speeds and at a corner like that, so we’re glad he emerged from the accident unscathed.
The last race weekend was a very entertaining one for the fans and we had a full-capacity crowd in the stands, which hasn’t happened for quite some time. We could feel their energy. That made the weekend incredibly special, and obviously they had the chance to watch a very dramatic race, as did everyone else at home.
For us, it was an encouraging weekend with the pace of the car, the small upgrades we introduced worked well and we scored some big points, so we’re looking to keep that momentum going.
Lewis was on incredible form at Silverstone with a brilliant recovery drive in front of his home crowd after the penalty. It was also a strong weekend for Valtteri too with some great teamwork and good pace, which has closed the margin in both Championships.
We know how fine the margins are this season and how the advantage is swaying from one team to the other at each race. Us and Red Bull looked very closely matched at Silverstone and Ferrari were very quick, and now the battle moves onto the next round and a very different track.
The #hungaroring is a high-downforce, tight and twisty circuit. Almost like a large version of a go-kart track. #hungary will therefore be a different beast compared to the last race, and it is a track that will likely suit our competitors more, but we’ll give it all we’ve got.
It’s been a long and intense first half of the season and we’re almost at the summer break. We want to ensure we head into the shutdown on the right foot, before we get the chance to recharge, take stock of everything that’s happened so far and then come back fighting in the second half of the season.
Video Feature: #f1 Car Development
This week, we’re diving into the topic of how to upgrade a Formula One car – whether that’s during a normal season, or the unusual 2021 season, where a number of important factors have changed the development race.
Our #f1 Car Development video features interviews with John Owen (Chief Designer), Mike Elliott (Technical Director) and #lewishamilton (driver of Car No.44).
Please find on the below link two different versions of our #f1 Car Development video. We grant you permission to use these in your broadcasts. The two versions are:
Embargo: While the video is available for broadcast use, it is embargoed for use on social media channels until 8am CEST on Friday 30th July. After that point, you have our permission to post the video natively on your social media channels if you wish.
Alternatively, if you would like to share the video sooner, our YouTube video is open for embedding on your websites. Details are below.
Featured: How Do Teams Develop an #f1 Car?
How do teams decide what to upgrade on their cars?
As with most things in Formula One, planning and detail are everything. When developing a car and deciding what to update, teams first have to put together a plan of what needs to be worked on - where are the strengths we can maximise further and where are the weaknesses that we can improve?
When choosing an upgrade, you must focus on the areas that are going to produce the most performance in the quickest timeframe, and also find the balance between where you go looking and the size of the project you take on.
As a rule of thumb, the bigger the part, the longer it is going to take to design, manufacture and bring to the track. Teams also have to consider how critical a part is to the structure of the car. A crucial structural part such as the front and rear wings, which are highly loaded, have to be put through rigorous tests to meet strict safety regulations, so those components tend to be defined and decided on pretty early.
Next up, when looking at aerodynamics, teams focus their attention on the floor and diffuser, which are big downforce generators and have long lead times. And then it’s about looking into the components that are smaller and quicker to make but bring a lot of performance, such as brake ducts, bargeboards and engine covers.
Once the areas of focus have been defined, the general process of bringing an upgrade to the track will depend on the component, but whether it’s an internal or external part, they all need to be designed and tested, before the decision is made to move forward with the concept or find another solution.
