The engine is the most expensive and the most important part in formula-1 racings, Have you ever thought of cars having wings? As it turns out, this is possible. Airplanes are not the only one crafted by aerodynamic design to utilize wings but cars as well. More specifically, Formula One racecars.

For airplanes, wings have been designed to help lift them off the ground as they ascend. It is an aerodynamic design, which literally enables them to fly. By directing airflow around their wings, airplanes are lifted off the ground and gradually ascend them off the runway.

On the other hand, F1 race cars use wings for a different reason. Speed is the main point of F1 racing and this is derived from aerodynamic design on which millions of dollars have been spent on for research and newly updated discoveries and innovations. In F1 racing, aerodynamic design focuses on research that helps decrease drag while at the same time creates a down force that keeps the tires on track. This down force aerodynamics also has an effect upon a racecar’s cornering ability.
