Anyone who has ever witnessed a race car catch fire can testify to the importance of keeping these optimum vehicles cooled. But with the speeds these cars reach, cooling them is quite a feat.
Why? Because their internal combustion engine, also called the ICE, actually explodes petrol within it. To make matters worse, there are also lots of moving mechanical parts rubbing against each other creating more heat through friction.
This dramatic heating means the cars' internal components begin to change shape and even push up against each other. Needless to say, that is not exactly desirable!
If you're struggling to understand this concept, think about how a smartphone or computer gets very hot after extensive use. It is the same with race cars.
Needless, to say without a cooling system to take away the heat, these cars would not last very long. Luckily, race cars and particularly F1 cars have a great cooling system in place.
How does it work? It turns out there is quite a bit of science behind that. YouTuber Chain Bear does a great job of explaining all the ins and outs of an F1 cooling system. So, we will let you watch the video to find out more.

Astrophysicists are looking for biosignatures, such as methane, and technosignatures, such as radio signals, in their search for extraterrestrial life.
