With the help of today’s technology, a new vehicle has been developed for Formula 1 races, one of the exciting motor sports of the world, which we know very well thanks to the Istanbul Park Grand Prix. The vehicle, which we will see on the tracks in 2022, will undoubtedly bring a new breath to the racing world.
Thanks to the Istanbul Park Grand Prix, we have the opportunity to get to know the Formula 1 races, which have been held since 1950 and where important automobile companies such as Ferrari, Mercedes, Renault and Honda have proven themselves. Where single-seat, open-wheel races dust off the track If you’ve ever watched Formula 1 races you have seen the high speed of the vehicles and the danger caused by this high speed.
With the new Formula 1 vehicle, the rate of such dangers will gradually decrease. Because the handling of the new vehicle, which was developed by analyzing millions of data, is much stronger. Seen as unusual even by veteran F1 drivers Thanks to this new vehicle, races are expected to be both safer and more enjoyable. The development process of the vehicle, which will appear in 2022, is quite interesting.
Amazon touch on Formula 1’s new car:
The world’s largest online shopping company, Amazon, does not just do this job. One of Amazon’s many subsidiaries Amazon WebServices, AWS for short; He has been working successfully on cloud computing systems for many years. The intersection of their paths with Formula 1 results in the new car, which is the subject of our article.
Formula 1 uses a system formerly called Computational Fluid Dynamics to improve its cars, so aimed to improve the aerodynamics of vehicles. In other words, the news of a new F1 car is not very interesting news. In fact, we encounter new vehicles in every new race, although it is hardly noticed outside of the enthusiasts.
The feature of the new vehicle that we will see on the tracks in 2022 is that it has been prepared with a brand new cloud system platform offered by AWS. Formula 1 cars almost as intense turbulence as an airplane Because they are exposed, they are tested by going through special simulations.
550 million data used:
To date, the AWS company has collected 550 million pieces of data showing the turbulence impact of an F1 car. Using 1,150 AWS compute cores all these data were simulated. In this way, simulations that were prepared in 60 hours in the past can be prepared in 12 hours. In other words, 80% savings were achieved from all systems.
Built using AWS Graviton2 processors, these systems are just the beginning. According to Formula 1 officials this system has a high potential and it will save at least 30% in simulation expenditures in the coming days. It is also important to get much more accurate results.
What’s special about the new Formula 1 car?
Data, simulations, savings are good, but we will see on the track in 2022. Whatever you call the feature of the new Formula 1 car, we say handling. This new vehicle has a specially machined front wing and rear end. This wing and rear end aim to minimize the air turbulence that the vehicle is exposed to.
There is also a downforce applied between the vehicles during the race. specially developed through underground tunnels This force will also be increased. Thus, every race where the vehicles race much closer to each other will be out of breath.
As a result, the road holding of the vehicles will increase, so the races both faster and safer it will be. In other words, we will no longer see F1 cars that make our hearts flutter by easily doing somersaults in the air.
The aim of all these innovations is to win enthusiastic fans:
Formula 1 Managing Director Ross Brawn said that all the work done Will shape the future of F1 racing says. According to Brawn, thanks to all these innovations, new F1 fans will be won and a new racing culture will be opened with them.
Formula 1 Chief Technology Officer Pat Symonds said that the purpose of the new car, which will hit the track in 2022, is develop vehicles that compete closely together says it is. Saying that working with the cloud system removes all obstacles, Symonds; He adds that thanks to this system, they can do whatever they want, whenever they want, however they want.
Lewis Hamilton, one of the legendary Formula 1 racing drivers, is also excited about the new car. Hamilton; A new era will begin for vehicles in 2022, he says this will be difficult for the pilots, but it is important for the future of the sport and the viewing quality of the fans.
What we will see on the tracks in 2022 from the development process of the new Formula 1 car We talked about it and told about the innovations it offers. Today, technology has come to such a point that even systems that we can no longer understand the relationship between can come together and cause completely different innovations.
