MCLAREN CREATES VISION FOR FORMULA 1 IN 2050

The senior F1 power brokers are always arguing about what direction the formula should take with the next set of regulations as they seek to improve the show, increase overtaking and draw more fans to the sport.

But some forward–thinking folks over at McLaren are not concerned with what F1 will look like next year – instead, they have been wondering what it will look like in more than 30 years.

The result is their Future Grand Prix concept, with the car codenamed MCLExtreme (or MCLE for short).

The car itself would be capable of hitting speeds of up to 500kph, would have "shapeshifting" active aerodynamics, and would be electric powered.

To help the driver cope with such high speeds, the car would also have an on-board artificial intelligence co-pilot.

All is explained in this video:

Rodi Basso, Motorsport Director of McLaren Applied Technologies, said: “At McLaren we never stand still. We are always looking to innovate to find the solution for tomorrow today. In recent years, we have seen concepts and ideas about how a Formula 1 car could look and operate in the future. However, this is the first time anyone has given detailed thought and insight into a viable vision of motorsport in the future.

"This is a hugely exciting and thought-provoking vision. One that includes the views of fans, university students, McLaren’s drivers and our talented team at McLaren Applied Technologies. Our hope is for this to stimulate debate about how motorsport responds to changes in technology and sports entertainment trends to ensure we can meet the needs of fans in 2050.”

The 'MCLE' car

The fact the concept is electric powered is bound to be controversial among die hard petrolheads, but the developers think electrification is inevitable, and expect huge advances in recharging technology.

"Whether it will be possible in 2050 to fully charge the battery of a grand prix car from flat in less time than it takes a current Formula 1 car to complete a flying lap around the streets of Monaco is difficult to say at this stage," says Stephen Lambert, Head of Automotive Electrification at McLaren Applied Technologies. "But charging about 10 to 50 per cent of the battery in around 10 to 30 seconds is conceivable.

"Charging wirelessly sees electromagnetic induction used to transfer energy through an air gap from one magnetic coil buried under the track to a second magnetic coil fitted to the car," Lambert explains.

"When the car is sufficiently positioned for the coils to be aligned, it will induce a current in the car’s coil which feeds into the battery."

A NEW BREED OF DRIVER

"They would need to be trained differently," muses Michael Collier, Head of Human Performance at McLaren Applied Technologies. "Currently there is a lot of focus on speed, agility, and endurance, but not on out-and-out strength.

"In 2050, a driver’s training programme would be flipped on its head so that they end up getting to know the bench press and dumbbells even better. We would see a new breed of racing driver physique."

"When you start talking about speeds of 500 km/h, it means drivers will have to withstand considerably more than the maximum g-force they experience now – which is in the region of 5 g," he adds. "This would put them in the same bracket as fighter pilots.

"To combat this, the race suit of 2050 will adopt similar technology to that found in g-suits. It will inflate and compress a driver’s lower limbs to prevent blood from pooling in their feet and legs, ensuring the heart still has enough of the red stuff to pump around the body – especially to the brain to maintain consciousness."

NEW TRACKS TOO

"Smart cities will give us the chance to put the track action on people’s doorsteps," says Basso. "We’re going to see more racing take place where the fans are, as part of a continued effort to bring the show to them – and because the cars will travel at even more ferocious pace than is currently the case, it raises the possibility for race tracks to span far greater distances.

"Why confine the grand prix cars of tomorrow to the tracks of today? The Italian Grand Prix of 2050 would still run through the heart of one of the largest historical parks in Europe, but go on to scythe its way through the streets of Milan city centre, before making its way back to Monza’s leafy park."

The tracks would be reimagined too
