F1's Banned Aero – The Secret Tech They Outlawed

In Formula 1, strict regulations push teams to find tiny performance advantages through clever tricks - many of which are highly effective but get banned to prevent imbalance and safety risks. Today we’re uncovering these banned secret technologies, from McLaren’s 2010 F-duct (activated by the driver’s knee to stall the rear wing and gain 5 - 7 km/h on straights) to Gordon Murray’s Brabham fan car that used a rear fan to suck air from under the floor for massive downforce, and blown diffusers that routed exhaust gases under the car to increase rear grip - innovations later seen in road cars like the Lamborghini Huracán Performante, Gordon Murray T.50, and Bugatti Chiron. We’ll also explain how Venturi tunnels and underbody aero create up to 40% of downforce, and tease future episodes covering suspension, engines, and fuel.
