The Physics of Driving at the Limit in Formula 1 | Tires 101, Slip Angle, Slip Ratio, G-G Diagrams

Описание: In this episode of The Grid Girls Formula, we break down how tires actually work in Formula 1 — and why F1 tyres generate maximum performance when they’re almost sliding.

We cover:
How F1 tyres are selected and the primary tires used on the grid
What slip angle and slip ratio mean
How tyres affect lateral and longitudinal acceleration
What a G-G diagram shows about a car’s performance
Why drivers live right on the edge of control

If you’ve ever wondered how Formula 1 cars corner at over 4g, why tyre degradation matters so much, or what engineers mean when they talk about “operating at the limit,” this episode breaks it down in a simple and approachable way.

Whether you’re new to F1 or just want to understand the engineering behind the sport a little better, this episode is for you.

🎙️ New episodes every week exploring the engineering, strategy, business, and stories behind Formula 1.
