Some of them are as follows – Whether the use of NOS (Nitrous Oxide Systems) has been incorporated or not into the Formula 1 cars?. It is important to establish that NOS has been previously linked with high-speed boosts in other forms of racing and even popular culture but will not be incorporated to Formula 1 for the following reasons.
Firstly, let us consider the fact that formula1 is a sport highly regulated by the fédération internationale de l automobile (FIA. These rules are simple and logical and their purpose is to maximize safety, fairness and technological development within closed frames. Implementing NOSs would mean new formalizations because the existing rules relate to hybrid power units and kinetic reserves, not power boosts within brief time intervals.
Secondly, the current direction of Formula 1 has sustainable development and technology implementation as key vectors. It has, however, invested in the growth of hybrid engines that will cover both the aspect of performance and the environment. NOS commonly delivers a short burst of increased power by issuing nitrous oxide for the engine, is not in line with FIA’s emphasis on environmentally friendly and enhanced technologies.
Further, the fostering of NOS in Formula 1 could lead to the reduction of safety standards it currently boasts of. Most of these velocities are already at borderline or even beyond the tolerable speeds considering the infrastructure of most racing circuits and the safety measures in place. Introducing NOS could cause some cars to attain prohibitive speeds and some of the risks during the races could become fatal for all teams and other regulatory authorities.
Although the concept of NOS in Formula 1 cars is attractive and looks bright in practice, it is still rather a dream for car enthusiasts than reality that can be implemented into practice, especially in the sphere of Formula 1 racing, which can hardly be protected from numerous dangers without strict regulation of air-to-fuel ratio in cars. From all the discussions made, it is safe to conclude that the future of F1 will persist to persist in hybrids and environmentally friendly power, thus depriving NOS as an exciting, but infeasible, reality.
