The Role of Electronics in Formula 1

You may not think you see electronics at work when Panasonic Toyota Racing hits the track, but without electronic wizardry, the cars would not even leave the garage. There are around 250 sensors on the TF108, giving feedback on approximately 1,300 different parameters. The data from these sensors can be studied back in the garage and it is used to advise the driver what settings to change on his car; an action he can complete whilst driving flat-out.
