Frequently Asked Questions
What is Parc Ferme Formula 1?
The FIA uses the term Parc Ferme to describe a secured area in the pit lane, where the cars are closely monitored by them before and after the qualifying session and race. After cars have entered Parc Ferme they cannot be altered in any way except for certain allowed changes. This ensures that cars comply with the regulations and that teams do not gain an unfair advantage.
What is F1’s difference between slicks vs. wet tires?
Formula 1 Slick Tires are designed for dry, hot conditions. They have a smooth, flat surface that provides maximum grip. Wet tire tread patterns, such as those on intermediates and complete wets reduce the risk for aquaplaning. While full wets work best in heavy rain, intermediates can handle light to moderate rain.
Can Formula 1 teams test their cars year-round?
Formula 1 teams cannot test their cars all year round. The FIA regulates testing sessions in pre-season as well as during the season. The limitations are there to control the costs and maintain an equal playing field. The limited number of testing opportunities must be used to the fullest by teams in order for them to prepare and gather information on their cars.
How do drivers qualify for a Formula 1 race?
The Formula 1 race’s qualifying is done through a knockout format the day of the race. It is split into three parts – Q1,Q2,and Q3. Initially, all drivers compete in Q1, with the slowest five cars being eliminated. Next, the top 15 drivers move on to Q2, where another five cars are eliminated. The top 10 move on to Q3, and compete to gain pole position, as well as determine the order in which the first ten positions are placed.
