Hi there.
Jasper (21) from Belgium. Studying at Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands, have been following F1 since the 2000 season. I have always been interested in the technical side of the sport but never really dove deep into the matter so pardon me if you see me asking questions that are a bit below the average level of this forum.

I'm here mainly because I'd like to learn some more about those cars.
I have been involved with FSAE/Formula Student in the past 3 years so I am familiar with the basic concepts of racecar design. But unfortunately FS cars are in no way comparable to F1 cars (in our team's case: a quarter of the weight, not even a tenth of the power and a third of the top speed, and driving around completely different tracks). So being in Formula Student doesn't really teach you anything on "real" reacecars...
If anyone is interested, from the moment I started watching F1 I was hooked by Mika Häkkinen and I have remained a McLaren fan ever since. But in the last few years my interest has shifted more and more towards the sport in general rather than just one team. So yes I still prefer McLaren but I'm not a diehard.
See you around!
Jasper
