Why Formula 1 cars spark is one of the most interesting questions I\u2019ve seen online. And answering it requires me to delve into a bit of race history, aerodynamic forces, and human ingenuity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In short, F1 cars are intended to produce sparks. It\u2019s not a sign of damage nor is there anything wrong with the car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Instead, the sparks are a result of an engineering \u201csleight of hand\u201d that race teams engage in to take full advantage of the FIA regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It all has to do with the plank on the floor of F1 cars and the titanium skids embedded in it that lead to sparks flying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let me explain!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You see, under every F1 car, there is a wooden plank, which you can see below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
