The Formula 1 2018 World Championship was one of the most competitive year in Formula 1 and the beggin of a new era with 2 of the biggest pilots fight for the title in 2021 and the fastest car ever in 2020.

Here are the general specifications of the Formula 1 cars from the 2018 season:

Weight:

The minimum car weight, including the driver, was increased to 733 kg due to the introduction of the Halo. The weight without fuel ranged from 733-740 kg, depending on the team.

Power Output:

The 1.6L V6 Turbo hybrid engines produced around 950 to 1,000 hp, combining the internal combustion engine (ICE) with hybrid systems (MGU-K and MGU-H). Power output varied among manufacturers: Mercedes: ~1,000 hp
Ferrari: ~990-1,000 hp
Renault: ~950-970 hp
Honda: ~920-950 hp (less competitive at the beginning of the season)

Top Speed:

Top speeds varied depending on the circuit and aerodynamic setup: Low-downforce circuits (Monza, Baku): 350-370 km/h with DRS activated. High-downforce circuits (Monaco, Hungary): 320-330 km/h. The highest recorded speed was 372.5 km/h (achieved by Lance Stroll's Williams at the Azerbaijan GP).

In the 2018 Formula 1 season, Pirelli introduced new tyre compounds and expanded the available range of dry-weather tyres from five to seven. Here’s a breakdown of the key changes:

New Tyre Compounds: Hypersoft (Pink): The softest and fastest tyre, offering maximum grip but very low durability. It was mostly used on street circuits like Monaco and Canada. Superhard (Orange): The hardest and most durable compound, rarely used during the season.

Full 2018 Tyre Range (Slicks – Dry Conditions):

Hypersoft (Pink) – Ultra-fast, very short lifespan (there's no pink emoji)
Ultrasoft (Purple) – Soft and grippy, slightly longer-lasting than Hypersoft 🟪
Supersoft (Red) – A balanced soft tyre, used often in races 🟥
Soft (Yellow) – A consistent race tyre, frequently used 🟨
Medium (White) – A durable compound, suited for longer stints (white emoemodon't apper)
Hard (Blue) – High durability, rarely chosen 🟦
Superhard (Orange) – The toughest compound, but almost never used 🟧

Wet Weather Tyres:

Intermediate (Green): For light rain and drying tracks. 🟩
Full Wet (Blue): Designed for heavy rain, featuring deeper grooves to disperse water efficiently. 🟦

Impact on Strategy:

The increased range of tyres allowed for greater strategic diversity between teams. The Hypersoft was a game-changer on certain tracks, creating different pit stop strategies compared to previous years.
