The brake-bias is one of the adjustments more often tweaked by the drivers🕹
The 5️⃣7️⃣.0️⃣ in the picture means the front brakes will have 57% of the braking force and the rears the remaining 43%.
But do you 🫵🏼 know does it really work? Let's discover it! 🧵🏎 #F1Tech
(You might benefit from some technical concepts explained here ⤵️. Consider taking a read first!)
In Formula 1, performance is dictated by the tires. But how do they work? How drivers extract their maximum grip? Let's learn about it! #F1Tech
A tire is free-rolling when it rotates at a rate, ω, such that the points at the contact patch move with the same velocity of the tire hub, v. This rate is ω=v/R. Under these assumption, and if we neglect the rolling resistance, the tire produces zero grip and its speed stays...

A very useful computation in vehicle dynamics is the g-g diagram. What the heck is that? Well... ⤵️ #F1Tech 🏎
Given a car, its set-up, and a velocity, the g-g diagram represents its acceleration envelope: the maximum acceleration the car can perform.
