A while ago I wrote a couple of posts about safety in Formula One and at the time I promised that I would take a look at crash testing standards.
As they say, “better late than never” so I hope this post will be worth the wait! Clearly safety standards change from season to season but with this years’ ban on in-race refuelling, ever more stringent regulations have been made to secure driver safety. Hopefully, I’ll be able to shed some light on the challenges the FIA face in making sure that drivers are not exposed to more risk in an impact than is absolutely necessary. The main challenge this year is related to fuel loads, tanks have become much larger; now with a capacity of 230 litres that’s more than double the 100 litre capacity we had in the 2009 season. Extra fuel means that far greater forces will be exerted on the chassis in the event of any head on impact than had been the case with a smaller fuel tank so better modelling and testing has to cope with these increased demands.
