In 1968 Colin Chapman debuted his Lotus 49B, which featured a tall wing much like that of Can Am cars at the time. The wing was eventually banned, but eventually led to the use of wings on all F1 cars.

What will be the wing length of the F1 offspring?
The wing length of the F1 offspring will depend on the specific genetics of the parent organisms. It will be a combination of genetic factors from both parent organisms, following the principles of inheritance.
What was the first production car in the world to use monocoque type construction?
made from carbon fiber is the Mclaren f1 in 1992
What is DRS system in F1?
DRS (F1) is a Drag Reduction System. It works by opening the rear wing on certain straights to reduce drag on the wing.
What fuel does a f1 car use?
110 octane petrol
Which gas is used in f1 car tires?
F1 teams use Nitrogen to fill the tires because of its low dilatation compared to air, a small dilatation in a F1 tire will result in unbalancing the car.

What is down force and why is it important in f1 vehicle?
Downforce occurs when air flowing over something pushes it into the ground. An F1 car is very light so it is fast in a straight line and can be thrown into the corners but because it is so light the car will have very little grip in the corners. Downforce adds to the weight of the car with the force of air pushing it down. The new DRS (drag reduction system) on the cars stops downforce - which causes drag - in the long straights. When a front wing or another part of an F1 car that makes downforce comes off the car has less grip and this often leads to crashes. Overall, downforce is essential to keeping an F1 car on the track
