Accident analysis systems

In Simple Terms

F1 cars are equipped with advanced safety monitoring systems that record crash data and measure the forces drivers experience during accidents. Each car has a black box-style recorder, external crash sensors, and high-speed cameras, while drivers wear special devices that monitor their physical condition and the impact forces they endure.

• Every car must have an FIA ADR (Accident Data Recorder) to capture detailed crash information
• External 500g accelerometers measure the forces experienced during impacts and collisions
• High-speed cameras record accidents in detail for analysis and safety improvements
• Drivers wear in-ear accelerometers and biometric sensors to monitor their health and physical stress during incidents
