Topics*:
Aerodynamic Theory
Delivered by Paula Garcia Ruiz
Understand how air molecules behave and interact with each other to generate downforce and drag.
Learn about Reynolds number, Bernoulli principle, Strouhal number, Brownian motion and boundary layers.
Trackside aerodynamics and the future of F1 Aerodynamics
Delivered by Dominic Harlow
Understand the elements of aerodynamic performance trackside in F1.
Explore how the future 2026 regulation changes will impact F1 aerodynamics and what you need to be aware of as an engineer.
Aerodynamic measurements in Formula 1: from sensors to models
Delivered by Marco D'Isanto
Master how pitot tubes, pressure scanners, kiel probes and pressure rakes work. You will also gain insight into how the sensors are used on aerodynamic models
*Topics subject to change.
