As a reminder, Formula 1 has been around for 70 years, and there have been a number of impressive vehicles that have competed in that time. Which one was the best will always remain a burning question, however.
We won’t get into the nitty-gritty here, but here are the vehicles we think are in the running for the title. It’s nothing new that Mercedes and Ferrari are feuding. They’ve had a fierce rivalry since the beginning of Formula One, and it’s only going to become worse.
1) McLaren MCL32
This car, driven by Fernando Alonso and Stoffel Vandoorne, has consistently been among the fastest and gives legends the pleasure of playing differently. Sensors, data analysis, power unit management, and chassis control are some of its most notable sophisticated features.
This vehicle has undergone numerous modifications and is now considered to be one of the most highly regarded Formula One cars. McLaren and Tim Goss collaborated on the design and construction of this striking vehicle in orange and black. These processes run on BP Ultimate gasoline, which has a weight of 1,605 lbs.
In addition, the AP Racing electro-hydraulically actuated clutch comes with high-quality treaded intermediate and wet Pirelli tires. Additionally, this vehicle is powered by Honda Lithium-ion batteries with a maximum output of 850 to 900 horsepower.
2) Red Bull RB9
The RB9’s greatest strength is the fact that it has the potential to be even greater. Adrian Newey later confessed that the tight title fight in 2012 delayed development work on the RB9, which was powered by a Renault engine that even then was just OK compared to Ferrari and Mercedes.
The RB9 may have been underdeveloped due to Red Bull’s focus on the RB8 for longer than expected. How much faster would the car have been had it had a full development program? ‘I wonder how fast it would have been’ Imagining this is unnerving.
3) Williams FW40
Pre-season testing in Barcelona marked the 40th anniversary of the Williams FW40. Push-rod-activated springs and an antiroll bar are used to stabilize the front of the vehicle. A monocoque chassis made of carbon epoxy and honeycomb exceeds the FIA’s effect and power requirements, as demonstrated by the Williams FW40.
Lance Stroll, Felipe Massa, and Paul Di Resta were chosen as the sponsors of this vehicle. Williams Martini Racing has had some prominent competitors over the company’s history. Broad bodywork, wide tires, and superb front and rear wings can’t go unnoticed.
There are six-piston front and four-piston rear calipers with carbon pads that weigh 1,602 pounds. It also runs on Petronas Primax gasoline, which has a maximum rate of 100 kg per hour.
4) Lotus 72
The McLaren, designed by Colin Chapman, played a significant role in the history of Formula One. Wedge-shaped air penetration components were modified in the new design. In addition to the side-mounted radiators and overhead air intake system, the automobile proved to be a huge hit with fans wherever it was displayed. Despite stiff competition from other teams, the 72 remained a fantastic vehicle.
Despite winning three Constructors’ Cups, the Lotus 72 is still recognized as one of the greatest Formula One vehicles of all time. With 930 horsepower, this automobile is surprisingly light at just 702 kg. An additional 15,000 RMP was provided for this by the Mercedes PU106B Hybrid Turbo engine.
5) Manor MRT05
For the 2016 Formula One season, Manor has made significant revisions to this design. Furthermore, Manor’s engine was a Mercedes, not a Ferrari. The engine is shielded from overheating by transmission and an aluminum oil cooling system.
Among the most important parts of this vehicle’s back end are the brakes and the wheel changers. The powerful engine in the Mercedes PU106C V6 Turbo is largely responsible for the vehicle’s impressive performance.
Conclusion
The speed, performance, and quality that these five vehicles have provided have established them as the best in the industry.
