Formula 1 Technology -Formula 1 Technology offers an in-depth look at the engineering, design and production of Formula 1 cars. It focuses on the most technically challenging years, showing how the technology and engineering have evolved from mechanical systems, most of which one could hold in the hand, look at closely, and see how they should work, to systems dominated by silicon wafers so small one can hardly see them.
Author Peter Wright identifies and outlines five parameters -- Power, Weight, Tire Grip, Drag and Lift -- and shows how each can be maximized. In addition, he describes the variety of technologies (including those that have been banned over the years) that are involved, not just in the makeup of the Formula 1 cars, but also in the component manufacturing, systems testing, and the actual racing of the cars.

Science of Speed: Today's High-Tech World of Formula 1 - Current topics discussed include increased speeds despite the introduction of grooved tires; the special materials that allowed 1999 engines from Mercedes-Benz and Ford to rev at over 17000 rpm; and the spate of rear-wing failures that plagued 1999 preseason testing. In addition, highly respected Grand Prix journalist David Tremayne examines the design and testing processes, driver safety issues, current regulations, and the often contradictory perspectives of today's F1 contenders.

V10 Formula One Engine Technology - This book is the detailed technical history of the Formula One V10 engine, examples of which have been made by the likes of Ferrari, Cosworth/Ford, Ilmor/Mercedes, Honda, Renault, BMW, Toyota, Peugeot, Yamaha, Judd and Hart. Written in a manner that is understandable by the layman, this book reveals the secrets that have enabled since 1989 V10 engine speed to increase from 13,000 to 19,000 rpm. At the same time horsepower has increased from 650 bhp to more than 900 bhp in spite of the reduction in capacity from 3.5 to 3.0-litres made from 1995. This book explains how that extraordinary jump has been possible. In an age of great secrecy in Formula One, this is the first time that the workings of the contemporary V10 engine have been revealed in such detail.
