Our next Racecar Aerodynamics Online Module will take place on 20 June 2026.
Today’s Formula 1 cars are some of the fastest in F1’s history. In 2020, Lewis Hamilton set the record for the fastest average speed 264.36km/h (164.27mph) during a lap in Monza. Although previous cars have reached higher top speeds, Hamilton’s record highlights the impressive cornering speeds of modern F1 cars. This is largely due to advanced aerodynamics, which maximise downforce to improve grip and stability through corners while minimising drag on straights. As a race engineer it is imperative that you understand aerodynamics. Our F1 Aerodynamics online module is designed in collaboration with leading engineers to bring you the latest knowledge and expertise.
