2021 Season

So you want to start learning about the technical side of F1?

Where do you start?

Well here I guess.

This has been something in the works for some time; I’ve had a few messages about people asking for recommendations and thought that I would compile everything into one document. I’ve tried to provide links where I can as well.

‘Free’ Resources

- The first thing I’d recommend is the technical and sporting regulations but I wouldn’t recommend you trying to read them end to end as they’d be very dull but whenever you see one of them referenced in a stewards document look it up and try to get an understanding of the background. You’ll soon have a pretty solid understanding of all the main infringements.

- Free Practice Sessions; I know they aren’t technically free but…

Genuinely if you can find a stream for a FP session there is usually quite good information about the track characteristics as well as the tyre strategies, who usually goes well here, etc (depending on your commentators)

- Youtube; for technical information I would recommend ChainBear and for motorsport history CYMotorsport both are absolutely incredible and really accessible for new viewers. Also on Sky Sports F1’s YouTube they often post the Sky Pad clips and I would recommend watching these if you don’t get them in your feed as they can bring a really good insight about the different lines that drivers take into a corner amongst other things.

- Podcasts; F1Nation - they usually do really great race previews and race reviews which let you know what to look out for, not super technical but good background knowledge. Also Autosport have a very good podcast called “F1 and More” where they do a similar thing but also have practice and qualifying reviews.

- F1 Website; honestly it sounds simple but take a look at some of the articles on the F1 website if you have time, especially the Tech Tuesday ones, as well as their Tech Talk series of videos. They actually have a lot of really interesting analysis videos and articles on there. They also usually go through the strategy options before a race. There is also a glossary of all the key F1 terms here. Also keep an eye out for whenever Ross Brawn does an article.

F1TV; yes another one that isn’t technically free but I’m sure you can find these elsewhere. Jolyon Palmers analysis, honestly these are so great post race where he looks back over the key moments and is able to give both a drivers insight as well as a more technical insight. I especially love it when he shows the telemetry data. There is also more in-depth Tech-Talk videos on here and they are really interesting.

- Reddit; I know F1 Reddit can sometimes be quite gatekeepy but its actually getting better; there’s the main r/Formula1 page and there’s also r/F1technical which is really interesting and also has a lot of technical discussions but they aren’t overly complex and people there are a lot more willing to explain things. This is where I often get a lot of news about upgrades and stuff from as I rarely use Twitter.

Books

This is where I actually started and a lot of the books I read were quite old as I either bought them second hand or borrowed them from my dad, but here we go

- Adrian Newey “How to Build a Car” this is one of my favourites as it’s part autobiography, part technical book and it goes through his years working for different teams and the regulation changes that took place. If you don’t know Adrian Newey is Red Bull’s chief aerodynamicist and helped design all of their cars for many years.

- Steve Matchett “The Mechanics Tale” less technical but this tells the story of an F1 mechanic through the years, and gives more background into the world of F1 as a whole.

- David Tremayne “The Science of Formula 1 Design” and “The Science of Speed” his books on F1 are really incredible and informative but not in a stuffy way; they are easy to pick up and read.

- Giorgio Piola “Formula 1 Technical Analysis” there are so many of these books, they used to come out annually but it’s the illustrations in these books that make them so special. Real photos are never used and instead there’s incredibly realistic drawings of all the cars as well as that years regulation changes. I’ve got the year that all the cars had the proboscis noses (the dick nosed cars) and yet he’s made them look beautiful and the information is so helpful if you are interested in a particular year. He actually does a lot of work with motorsport now, on technical analysis still creating beautiful illustrations

- Ross Brawn “Total Competition” this is a real interesting look into F1 strategy and creating a championship winning team but also looks into the business side of F1 as well.

- Derek Seward “Race Car Design” a little more like a textbook, I’ve read extracts of it and it has been really interesting. This one is more engineering heavy though.

- Haynes Manual “Red Bull Racing F1 Car” this takes an in-depth look at the Red Bull RB6, it’s so interesting but it’s not really dumbed down but it’s still a relatively simple read. I think this is one of the first ones I acquired and it’s still one of my favourites.

Hey! When did Ricciardo talked about mental health?

Hi my love 🧡✨

Before I dive in: I am someone that has struggled, still struggles, with mental health. I want to take a moment to just say that my blog is a safe space for anyone that wants to vent/rant or just talk about their own struggles. We are not alone, my shoulders are free for you to cry on and I will never ever judge. If you ever feel the need: send me an ask (anon or not) or a message and I'm here for you. You are stronger than you think!

You wouldn't suspect it maybe, Daniel's bouncy/positive energy often lets us think everything is alright, but he has been speaking out about mental health for a good while now! He really started opening up about mental health in 2017.

He became one of the ambassadors of The Inner Ninja Foundation, an Australian based charity founded by Stefani Caminiti. The Inner Ninja Foundation gets its power from lived expertise to help people with mental health issues. His quote on their site is: "Through raising awareness and smashing stigmas, we can improve and save lives of people living with mental illness."

In 2017 he said, "I’ve got some friends who have gone through some stuff. There are a few people who have been closer to me so I’m trying to do my little part if I can and help out. To be honest it’s something that is quite new me to me in terms of my understanding of it all. Only within the last six or so months I’ve lets say opened my eyes to it a bit more. It’s not something that many people talk about but it happens and it’s a big problem to a lot of people. It’s a big fight overcoming such a thing so I think the more people that have some of these issues, we’re trying to say get it out there and address it. And don’t let things bottle up for too long and make a small problem turn into a big one." You can find this quote in this article by The Versed and this article by GP Today.

Daniel hit a low point in 2018, which turned out to be his last season with Red Bull Racing. He looked back on this time in 2020 and said this, "I think the last year at Red Bull was probably emotionally the most tough I think because at the start of the year it looked like I was maybe competing for a Championship. And then mid-year realised I wanted to move on." You can read more about it in this PlanetF1 interview and in this Essentially Sport interview.

Besides talking about his own hardships, he participated in an event in 2020. In this second season with Renault, he joined a call with the Renault UK's Mental Health Champions. In it he spoke about stress and how he handles it. I think the most beautiful thing coming from this talk, and something I have wanted to introduce to my blog as well, is this quote by Daniel, "I feel it’s an important subject and everyone needs to speak up about mental health and feel happy to do so. It’s prevalent in all walks of life and it’s all about sharing experiences and knowledge. This discussion with Renault UK’s Mental Health Champions is a perfect example of this and that you don’t necessarily need to know each other to talk openly and confidently about the topic." WTF1, F1 Chronicle and GP Fans wrote articles on this talk as well.

Michael Italiano, Daniel's performance coach and best friend, spoke up about how important a good mental health is for drivers in this Drive Tribe article. He said this, "Yes, you are away from friends and family for most of the year, it's a big sacrifice. Alone in your hotel room a lot, so it can definitely weigh on people's lives for sure and provide mental challenges."

And now, he is obviously with McLaren who have signed a partnership with MIND UK last season. I'm so happy we are talking more and more about mental health, coming from a background with depression and a panic disorder myself. F1 is a ruthless, highly demanding, stressful sport. The pressures are high. Besides Daniel, Lewis and Pierre also spoke up about mental health in Baku this year. Formula Rapida wrote an article on it.
