Peculiarities of Scientific Research in High-Performance Sports as in the Case of "Formula 1"

The paper examines the legal regulation of scientific research in professional sports as in the case of Formula 1. The importance of the process of searching for new engineering and design solutions for the performance of athletes, as well as its continuous nature, is emphasized. It is noted that this sport is in the process of transition to a new cycle of legal acts, including Technical regulations, which sets the main requirements for the results of scientific research. The analysis of the provisions of the Technical regulations shows that the activities of engineers and designers are largely limited. For clarity, there are specific norms that fix either the exact indicator for the result of scientific research to achieve, or the range within which fluctuations are allowed. At the same time, it is noted that there are still rules that are not formulated in the most obvious way (the so-called gray zones). It is stipulated that the specifics of scientific research in these areas will be the subject of a separate analysis. Special attention is given to the requirements for the minimum degree of independence of scientific research in the car engineering and constructing and the possibility of using the results of competitors. The author gives examples of interaction between Formula 1 teams in terms of the use of engineering solutions by the team of competitors. The importance of research and development by Formula 1 engineers and designers is further emphasized, not only in the field of sports or the automotive industry, but also in everyday life, especially in the context of the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19). Specific examples of the contribution of racing teams to the global fight against the virus are given, including cooperation with medical centers and laboratories in the framework of the Project Pitlane, which unites most of the teams of Formula 1.
