It is sometimes reinforced with titanium or steel.

The reason carbon fiber breaks off of Formula 1 cars on the slightest of contacts is because it's designed to shatter and splinter on impact.

Cars are weighed with dry-weather tyres fitted.

Carbon fibre is a very strong and light material that contains carbon fibres. Although it has a very big price tag, its strength to weight ratio and the good rigidity of it make it a very valuable piece of material. It is used over every other kind of material because it’s lightweight, very strong, very stiff and can easily be moulded into any shape.

The driver sits in the cockpit in the survival shell, a very important part of the monocoque, it is supported by deformable material to lessen the force of impact on the driver during accidents.
The survival shell consists of a roll-over shell which keeps the driver's head in place and protects the driver's head during a roll-over event (where the car is tilted upside-down)
No fuel, water and oil lines pass through the cockpit as it is used to contain other things or may cause danger to driver during accidents.
The cockpit has a master switch to turn off all electronics to prevent electrocution. A fire extinguisher that spreads foam automatically when there is fire or it can be activated manually by the driver or an outsider.
The driver is strapped in with 6 straps, two pelvic straps, two shoulder straps and two leg straps. The straps are intended to spread energy across the driver's body so there would be less injuries.

Aero friction is important because it determines how well the car slips through the air, as well as how well it plants itself to the ground. Friction in the engine and driveline are key to how well they operate. Less friction will mean less parasitic loss of power and less heat, which will improve performance.
 It is also the key to mechanical grip on the cars.

As every single second counts, the aim of the car is to drive through the track as quickly and steadily as possible. More friction in the tires allow more control, but it needs to be fast and be able to " glide" across the track. Less friction in the engine improves the performance of the car, but friction is needed in order to run the engine itself. Different materials have different amounts of friction on other materials, which is why F1 designers have to be very accurate in choosing which type of material they use. If the friction is a little higher than what it should be, it could result in the loss of speed and even cost them the race.]]> 2020-05-20 07:28:33 UTC https://padlet.com/jonathanmortimer/qkpiv2bb43cybqpn/wish/584186566 https://padlet.com/jonathanmortimer/qkpiv2bb43cybqpn/wish/584409983 The gasoline in F1 cars is very close to normal gasoline.

Additives also help clean the engine and avoid deposits in the combustion chamber, and minimises friction which leads to reduced fuel consumption.]]> 2020-05-21 07:35:32 UTC https://padlet.com/jonathanmortimer/qkpiv2bb43cybqpn/wish/586454622 https://padlet.com/jonathanmortimer/qkpiv2bb43cybqpn/wish/586468786 The fuel used in F1 cars is similar to ordinary petrol, albeit with a far more tightly controlled mix. Formula One fuel can only contain compounds that are found in commercial gasoline (such as octane), in contrast to alcohol-based fuels used in American open-wheel racing.]]> 2020-05-21 07:46:36 UTC https://padlet.com/jonathanmortimer/qkpiv2bb43cybqpn/wish/586468786 https://padlet.com/jonathanmortimer/qkpiv2bb43cybqpn/wish/586488482 Carbon fibre is most commonly used in the bodywork of an F1 car and also the air box, the wings, the engine cover, steering wheel and in the suspension. It is sometimes reinforced with titanium or steel. ]]> 2020-05-21 08:00:36 UTC https://padlet.com/jonathanmortimer/qkpiv2bb43cybqpn/wish/586488482 tszching_wong1 https://padlet.com/jonathanmortimer/qkpiv2bb43cybqpn/wish/586491128  The monocoque, which is the main part of the car's chassis in F1 cars includes the driver's survival cell and cockpit, which is surrounded by malleable crash-protection structures" that absorb energy during a crash, plus a 6mm layer of carbon and Zylon (used in armored vests), so things like car debris don't injure the drive in the event of a crash. The car is equipped with a fire suppression system that can be activated by the driver or race marshals, spreading fire retardant foam around the chassis and engine.]]> 2020-05-21 08:02:38 UTC https://padlet.com/jonathanmortimer/qkpiv2bb43cybqpn/wish/586491128 https://padlet.com/jonathanmortimer/qkpiv2bb43cybqpn/wish/586551946 It is mandatory for the drivers to wear seatbelts and helmet. They have to wear two shoulder straps, one abdominal strap and two straps between the legs. All straps should strictly comply with FIA specifications. The cars should be equipped with two rear-view mirrors.]]> 2020-05-21 08:46:02 UTC https://padlet.com/jonathanmortimer/qkpiv2bb43cybqpn/wish/586551946 https://padlet.com/jonathanmortimer/qkpiv2bb43cybqpn/wish/586569958 This type of friction positively affects the motion of the vehicle, as it allows the wheels to grip the ground, moving forward. Without this friction between wheels and ground, the wheels would simply spin without creating any forward motion.]]> 2020-05-21 08:58:30 UTC https://padlet.com/jonathanmortimer/qkpiv2bb43cybqpn/wish/586569958
