The F 1 World Formula One Championship, which symbolizes the ultimate speed and passion, attracts the attention of more than one billion viewers around the world every year. However, in the field of F 1, there is a car that is not as eye-catching as the champion car and the champion driver, but it is the eternal 1 number in the field of F 1. This is the safety car of F 1-no matter which champion F 1 wins, it must be behind it.

Since 1996, AMG, a Mercedes-Benz high-performance modified series, has been undertaking the mission of building F 1 safety car, and it has a history of 12 years. The previous seven generations of F 1 safety cars were C36 AMG, CLK55 AMG, CLK55 AMG, SL55 AMG, CLK55 AMG and CLK63 AMG. C63 Eatate AMG undertook the heavy responsibility of this year's medical vehicle. However, both safety cars and medical cars have become a beautiful "silver landscape" on F 1 with the speed and performance comparable to that of racing cars. Track leader: SL36AMG safety car

In the fast-paced F 1 circuit, the safety car must have the same speed driving ability as the F 1 racing car. When there is a collision, a fault or the weather becomes worse, the safety car will run on the track and guide the car as quickly as possible until the track returns to a safe state. When the safety car appears on the track, all the racing cars must circle around the track under the guidance of the safety car, and the safety car must keep driving at a high speed, because if the speed is too slow, the sensitive high-tech engine of F 1 racing car will malfunction and the tires will lose grip, so the safety car must have the same speed driving ability as F 1 racing car. Moreover, in many cases, the safety car must lead at the limit speed of 240 km/h. In the 2008 F 1 competition, Mercedes-Benz used a brand-new AMG safety car-SL 63 AMG, and also used the latest C63 AMG as a medical car. These two brand-new F 1 work cars were officially put into use in Australia on March 16, 2006. If F 1 is compared to a fast and flexible cheetah, then the original SL36AMG may be compared to a mammoth. Weighing 2 tons, it can be described as a monster in front of F 1 racing car. Therefore, the first thing engineers should do is to slim down the mammoth-since SL will not be used for convertible cruising, the mechanical system of the whole convertible roof will be cancelled and the roof will remain vertical. Carbon fiber parts were replaced in many parts of the car body, unnecessary entertainment facilities and sound insulation boards were cancelled. Then engineers installed a dual-frequency radio system, light-emitting diodes strongpoint, F 1 and safety lights, which made this speed beast successfully "lose weight" by about 220kg. Compared with ordinary production models, it is much lighter.

As we all know, the F 1 racing car adopts air cooling system, so the F 1 racing car, led by safety car, also needs to keep a certain speed, otherwise it will lead to the overheating of the engine, the low temperature of tires and brakes and other symptoms of these fast bicycles worth millions. To this end, the SL63AMG is equipped with a 6.3-liter naturally aspirated engine with an output of 525 HP and a torque of 630 Nm. 0- 100 km acceleration can be completed in 4.6 seconds. In order to ensure the reliability of the safety car, the engineer also designed an extra cooler for it. In terms of transmission system, the safety car has reached the same level as F 1 racing car, and the seven-speed gearbox can shorten the shift time to 0. 1 second. The readjusted front multi-link and rear four-link suspension combined with ABC active body control system make this beast adapt to various tracks as easily as F 1 racing car. The tires of the safety car are provided by Bridgestone, the only tire supplier of F 1 Games. 285mm ultra-wide tires ensure sufficient grip, and 19 inch front and rear wheels can easily accommodate oversized ceramic brake discs, so that drivers can stop this beast at any time. The patron saint of the stadium: C63AMG medical vehicle

Compared with the safety car with high exposure frequency on the field, the medical car does not appear in the line of sight so frequently. But the medical vehicle, like the patron saint of F 1, saved the driver's life at the first time of the accident. In the just-concluded 2008 season, Mercedes-Benz AMG provided a brand-new C-class C63AMG medical vehicle for F 1 competition. The addition of this new car will make the medical team in the whole F 1 competition more efficient. It can accommodate a four-person medical team and a full set of medical first aid facilities, which is very necessary to save the lives of drivers who have accidents on the track. Like the SL63 safety car, the medical car also uses a specially improved front face and rear spoiler. These improvements are aimed at improving the cooling effect of cars. The specially treated front face makes it look different. Like the safety car, this brand-new medical car is lightweight on the basis of the original car and equipped with an enhanced braking system to ensure that its 457 horsepower engine can stop quickly when working at full load. The brand-new medical vehicle also adds a monitoring system synchronized with the stadium. When the game starts, it will be on standby. Perhaps on the track of F 1, everyone's eyes will be attracted by the racing cars that pass by in front of them, while safety cars and medical cars will always stand by silently at the exit of the pit during practice, qualifying and race. However, whether it is a safety car or a medical car, its speed and excellent performance are comparable to those of F 1 racing car, and it has become a beautiful landscape in F 1 racing field, which also explains the sports charm of Mercedes-Benz to us. /2008 1203/n 26 1003064 . shtml
