At the Baku Formula 1 race this year, the Alpha Tauri team taped together the rear wing on Yuki Tsunoda's car when it began flapping around—perplexing some fans. (Dynamic adjustment of the wing didn't work after that, of course, and more importantly Tsunoda finished thirteenth outside of the points, making the effort moot.) In the discussions, it surfaced that ‘speed tape’ is what's used in F1, also with some educating photos like an airplane turbine being sealed with such tape.
