1. In what way(s) is a Formula One best at?
- Highest top speed
- Fastest acceleration
- Highest cornering speed
- Efficiency
2. What is DRS used for
- Increase downforce for better handling
- Decrease drag for straights
- Redirect air to turn better
- Let air completely bypass the rear wing
3. How does a diffuser help in F1?
- Encourages air to flow past the car, decreasing drag
- Redirects air away from the rear wing, decreasing drag
- Increase air flow to engine, increasing engine power
- Decrease speed of air below the car, increasing downforce
4. What does a front wing do
- Directing air away from tyres
- Directing airflow above the body
- Generating vortices
- Forcing air to the engine
5. What does a rear wing do
- Produce downforce, by redirecting air upwards
- Produce downforce, through Bernoulli's principle
- Decrease drag, by directing airflow away from the car
- Redirect engine exhaust air away from the surrounding air
6. What kind of diffuser is banned?
- Body Diffuser
- Blown Diffuser
- Double diffuser
- Big Diffuser
7. What is the use of the F duct
- Improve cornering by increasing downforce
- Increase speed by diverting air to the engine
- Cool the driver
- Make the rear wing stall, reducing downforce
