-:Module for vehicle control that controls and records all electronic processes in Grand Prix cars. After an accident, the black box is used to identify the possible causes and thus contribute to ongoing improvements in safety. The box is installed in such a way that it is always readily accessible without the necessity to remove other components of the car.

-:Cooling fluids, ABS, and power-assisted braking are not allowed in most racing classes. Full braking will bring a Grand Prix car from 200 to 0 km/h within 55 metres, all within 1.9 seconds. Deceleration forces achieve up to 5 G – the driver has to endure five times his own weight.
-;Briefing
+{{term|Brake balance}}
-:At the meeting with the drivers and representatives from their teams convened by the race director before every Grand Prix, the discussions focus on current issues such as special features of the respective track or changes to the rules or weekend format. At the team briefings, the team managers, engineers, and drivers set out the strategies for each day of the Grand Prix weekend. The subsequent review of the race day by this group, which forms the basis for future strategies and technical enhancements, is called the debriefing.

-:This electronic system prevents the wheels from locking when the brakes are applied forcefully. Using sensors, a control unit determines if the wheels are starting to lock and brake pressure is then reduced.

-:The study of the interaction of air with solid bodies moving through it. The basic rule when designing racing cars is simply to create as much downforce and as little air resistance as possible.

 :This term describes the ability of a race car to apply its engine’s power to the track.
 ;Traction control
-:An electronic system, also called anti-slip control. It uses sensors to detect whether the wheels are spinning and then automatically reduces the engine power. This guarantees ideal acceleration, especially at the start, when leaving a corner and on wet tracks. This is featured only on FZ50 and BMW Sauber F1.06.

 ;Tyre stack
 :Part of a racetrack’s mandatory equipment. The tyre barriers consist of two to six rows of conventional car tyres bolted together and wrapped with rubber belting. This provides the best absorption of impact energy.
