Hello all,
I am currently a student in the sixth form completing a technical essay on how computers have changed Formula 1.

I am stuck for ideas, so far I have:

Computational Fluid Dynamics - To simulate airflow.
Stress Analysis Software - Predict mechanical stress.
Electronic Management Systems - Fuel injection, DRS and gear changes.
Driver Technology - Drivers pulse, radios.

I am mostly looking for ideas about how computers have made F1 cars faster, cheaper, safer etc.

Thanks in advance,
Dan
