Formula one has always been the culmination of motorsport, but not necessarily the end of it. As the rapid development of technology, the vehicle attains more advanced equipment and the F1 lap’s times have improved year by year, meanwhile, the safety and stability of vehicle become even more significant. The center of gravity (CG) is a crucial factor when consider the stability. Rollover could be happened when vehicle turns too fast. When vehicle turns, the weight transfer happens and the location of CG will change according to the weight transfer, therefore torque been generated in order to attain better performance of stability, it is necessary to calculate the accurate CG location. But as mentioned the location CG could change when F1 moving, it is hard to acquire its value. In this study, the location of CG will be analyzed for improving the dynamics of F1.
