With 24 races planned – two more than this season – the 2023 Formula 1 calendar is set to be the longest in the 74-year history of the sport. The 2023 Formula 1 season begins in Bahrain (5 March) and ends eight and a half months later in Abu Dhabi (26 November). Official Ticket Packages are now on sale for selected 2023 races This has been achieved with our fully bespoke designs tailored to the exact application while building on our existing expertise as a world leading supplier of LED lighting to the motorsport industry.Formula 1 has published its calendar for the 2023 season featuring a record 24 races and a November date for the inaugural Las Vegas Grand Prix. ‘Both systems have reliability and safety at heart but are also small, low-power and lightweight. ‘Following the same ethos of maximum safety while being power, weight and size conscious has resulted in these parts being seamlessly integrated into the car without detriment to aerodynamics or aesthetics.’ The entire 3 piece package (pictured), including electrical fittings weighs less than 250g – perfect for motorsport applications. They will be supplying an exterior LED safety light package comprising of a high intensity rain light, a safety light and a forward facing light. Promoting the benefits of electrical power further is the all new Formula E championship, set to debut this September, presenting another need for Melectronics’ expertise. ‘The unit contains seven high brightness light sources arranged to give 360o visibility in a package that would fit in your coffee cup, yet only weighs in at a mere 35g – it was an enjoyable challenge for the team!’ If the vehicle is safe, the lights will glow green, if not, then they will glow red. ‘With the arrival of complex electrical propulsion and ERS, we need to alert marshals as to the status of these systems to ensure safety in the presence of high levels of electrically stored energy’ explains Steve Mellish, Managing Director. Since 1999, this niche supplier of electronic equipment has been enjoying substantial growth within the motorsport industry, and is now the official supplier of this year’s F1 ERS Status Indicator light, positioned below the roll-hoop camera. With the ERS being just one of the complex electronic systems on board, electrical safety has never been so important, which is where Melectronics come in. This system generates energy under braking through the MGU-K (Motor Generator Unit – Kinetic) while utilising the wasted hear from the turbocharger thought the MGU – H (Motor Generator Unit – Heat), resulting in an additional 160bhp for 33 seconds per lap. Accompanied by a whole array of new technologies, arguably the most important is the ERS – the Energy Recovery System.
With the fly-away races complete, the highly anticipated 2014 F1 season is well under way.
