FORMULA 1
PHENOMENA:
MERCEDES AMG'S 2017 F1 W08 EQ POWER+
BY ANDREW GLASS
Formula 1 is not only exciting for the thrills of
a high-speed race. Car design is also an essential
part of the competition and a factor that appeals to
millions of fans all across the world. For decades,
Formula 1 cars have stood out as prime examples
of superior race car engineering, yet at their most
essential nature, they aren't that different from an
average car.
At their very core, F1 cars are just like traditional
automobiles, as in they use combustion engines,
rely on suspensions and transmissions, and have
wheels and brakes to operate, much like the car
parked in your garage. Unlike your car, however,
Formula 1 vehicles aren't built to commute
or cruise around the neighborhood. ey are
conceived with one goal in mind: pushing
performance to the limit.
