Materials and technologies for Formula one racing cars

Ovaj završni rad prati promjene vezane za razvoj bolida Formule 1 od njezine prve sezone koja se održala 1950. godine pa sve do danas. Sva pravila koja se odnose na samo utrkivanje, sigurnost vozača, konstrukciju i dizajn bolida donosi organizacija Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), koja su se značajno mijenjala tijekom godina. Uspoređujući bolide koji su se koristili kroz povijest vidljiv je ogroman napredak što izvana (pneumatici, aerodinamika, izgled), što unutra (nosiva konstrukcija, motor, sustav za nadopunu goriva). U radu je prikazan vremenski slijed promjena i današnje stanje tehnike po pitanju izbora materijala i tehnoloških postupaka izrade nosive konstrukcije bolida, motora, sustava za nadopunu goriva i pneumatika.This Bachelor thesis tracks the changes related to the development of Formula 1 cars from its first season, which took place in 1950 until today. All the rules relating to the race itself, driver safety, construction and design of the car are adopted by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), which have changed significantly over the years. Comparing the cars that have been used throughout history, one can see huge progress both from the outside (tires, aerodynamics, appearance) and inside (load-bearing structure, engine, refueling system).The thesis presents the time sequence of changes and the current state of the art in terms of material selection and technologies for the production of load-bearing structures of cars, engines, refueling systems and tires
