When you look closely at the tyres on an F1 car they look broken! Look at a normal car the inside tyre turns tighter than the outside. On an F1 car, the outside tyre turns more!

Have you ever noticed that F1 tyres don’t always point in the same direction?
And yes, I dont mean after they have crashed.


With steering angles, there are three ways to do it.
Parallel Both wheels turn the same amount
Positive Ackerman Inside tyre moves more than the outside
Negative Ackerman Outside tyre moves more than the inside
