Physics of Formula 1

Newton’s 3rd Law of motion, every action has an equal and opposite effect, [1] implies that there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting bodies (here the tyres and the road).

 

Braking and tyres are important factors in creating the fastest car you can. The tyres are the only thing in direct contact with the road, and how quickly you can slow down, accelerate off again and go round corners wins races.
