Sharks

from Data Driven F1 · host Ganna Pogrebna and Patrick Henz

Viewed from the side, an early 1990s Formula 1 car instantly evokes the sleek silhouette of a shark. But this isn’t the only time motorsports have drawn inspiration from these majestic creatures. In this video, Patrick Henz explores the influence of shark-inspired designs, from aerodynamics to technical innovations like matte finishes and riblet films, and how they have shaped the world of racing.
