CAD

计算机辅助设计

Short for Computer-aided design, the method used to design Formula One cars.

计算机辅助设计(Computer-aided design)的简称，用于F1赛车的设计。

Camber

外倾角

The angle at which a tyre leans into or away from the car relative to the vertical axis. Engineers will vary camber to improve a car's handling characteristics.

倾斜角:轮胎相对于垂直轴向车内或向车外倾斜的角度。工程师们将改变角度来改善汽车的操控特性。

CFD

计算流体动力学

Short for Computational fluid dynamics, a tool used by F1 designers that uses complex mathematics and simulation to predict aerodynamic airflow. Normally used in conjunction with traditional wind tunnel research.

计算流体动力学(Computational fluid dynamics)的缩写，是F1设计师使用的一种工具，它使用复杂的数学和模拟来预测空气动力学气流。通常与传统的风洞研究结合使用。

Circuit

赛车场

There are two regular types of Formula One circuit. The purpose-built race tracks will either be a Street Circuit or a Road Circuit.

F1的赛道有两种常规类型。街道赛道或者公路赛道。

Chassis

底盘

The main part of a racing car to which the engine and suspension are attached is called the chassis.

赛车的发动机和悬挂装置所连接的主要部分称为底盘。

Checkered Flag (Chequered Flag)

方格旗

In Formula 1, the checkered flag is shown at the finish line by the race marshals to signal the end of the race. Most often, it is waved by FIA officials, but some notable celebrities have also done so in the past. The checkered flag is also used to signal the end of practice and qualifying sessions.

在F1比赛中，比赛裁判员在终点线上展示方格旗，表示比赛结束。大多数情况下，它是由国际汽联官员挥舞，但一些名人也做过。方格旗也用来表示练习和排位赛的结束。

Chicane

减速弯 之字弯

A tight sequence of corners in alternate directions. Usually inserted into a circuit to slow the cars, often just before what had been a high-speed corner.

在交替方向上的紧密的一系列弯角。通常是在高速弯道之前插入赛道以使赛车减速。

Clean air

稳定气流

Air that isn't turbulent, and thus offers optimum aerodynamic conditions, as experienced by a car at the head of the field.

没有湍流的空气，因此提供了最佳的空气动力学条件，就像在赛道前面的汽车所经历的那样。

Clutch

离合器

In F1, the clutch is a crucial component of the racing transmission system, used to control the engagement and disengagement between the engine and gearbox during starts and gear shifts, enabling smooth acceleration and seamless gear changes.

在F1中，clutch（离合器）是赛车传动系统的关键组件，用于在起步和换挡时控制引擎和变速器之间的连接和分离，以实现平稳的加速和顺畅的换挡。

Cockpit

驾驶舱

The section of the chassis in which the driver sits.

底盘上驾驶员所坐的部分

Compound

轮胎配方

In F1, "compound" refers to the rubber layer on the surface of the racing tires, available in multiple choices with different hardness and performance to suit various track and weather conditions. Drivers and teams select different compounds based on the track and weather conditions to achieve the best performance and grip.

在F1中，"compound" 是指赛车轮胎表面的橡胶层，有不同硬度和性能的多种选择，以适应不同赛道和天气条件。车手和车队会根据赛道和天气情况选择不同的compound来获得最佳性能和抓地力。

Concorde Agreement

协和协议

The Concorde agreement is a contract between the FIA, F1 Management and the F1 Teams, which sets the terms by which the teams compete in races, including the fees the teams receive from the promoters of each event, and the way the revenue from the television rights is split between the teams in terms of the prize fund, as well as other funds such as the heritage payments that teams such as Ferrari receives.

协和式协议是国际汽联、F1管理公司和F1车队之间签订的一份合同，其中规定了车队参加比赛的条款，包括车队从每场赛事的赞助商那里获得的费用，以及电视转播权收入在车队之间的分配方式，包括奖金基金，以及法拉利等车队获得的遗产费等其他基金。

Constructor

制造商

Constructors in Formula 1 are the companies, entities, or manufacturers that are responsible for developing and constructing the cars used for racing in F1. Each constructor is represented by a racing team and two racing drivers that compete in every Grand Prix to win World Championship points.

一级方程式赛车的制造商是负责开发和制造F1赛车的公司、实体或制造商。每个制造商由一个车队和两名赛车手代表，他们参加每一场大奖赛以赢得世界冠军积分。
