I was overwhelmed when i learned about the insane physics behind Formula racing. For example when you're behind another car you take advantage of the slipstream effect, reducing the air drag. But because of that the downforce is also reduced, making the tires lose grip, called the "dirty air". Cornering too fast you overshoot, too slow and you lose downforce and start spinning. Then there's "track evolution" where on first laps the track has dust on it but as the race goes on the dust is removed and the tires lay down rubber and when you drive over the rubber lines you get more grip.
