Abstract

This paper introduces the aerodynamic characteristics of the Formula 1 car and the effects of the rear negative lift, emphasizing the importance of its wake utilization, thus extending the two aerodynamic packages of the tail fin and diffuser on the Formula 1 car. It details the functions of the two to enhance the lift, the principle of using the wake and its development in Formula One, and demonstrates the importance of the tail and diffuser in automotive aerodynamic applications. The aerodynamic design of the car is instructive.
