Video: Demonstrating F1 Overtaking Techniques



Strapped into AT&T Williams FW29 race cars on the Silverstone racetrack, former F1 drivers Martin Brundle and Mark Blundell show the various techniques F1 drivers use to overtake one another on the racetrack, including the ‘switch back’, the ‘hang out’, and the slipstream phenomenon. Martin Brundle also commentates video of the 2007 seasons, demonstrating where F1 drivers used these overtaking techniques during Grand Prix races.

^ Simple ways to improve overtaking would be puting the front wing down (more ground effect downforce so less of the mentioned slip) and the rear wing up (in clean air).

The full measure would imply bringing back ground effects, slicks, self-leveling suspensions (hydropneumatique or active).
