I've been watching the Netflix series about Formula 1 racing, and I've seen many cars create sparks when something on their bottom side scrapes the pavement. This was the most exciting sparking I've seen. Not only is there a big spray of sparks out the back, but sparking (scraping) is observable under the cars as well.
What is scraping that causes the sparking? How much, if any, damage is caused to the cars and/or the track surface?
