You really stepped it up lately with these videos mate, keep it up. Also very nice those high-res steering wheel pictures to make it more even more clear what's going on. Excellent stuff.
Removing rubber is essential as Fernando qualified below P10 last year at Abu Dhabi, hence had new tires, when there are new tires used for the start of the Gran Prix it is important to remove the top layer of new rubber in order to gain the best possible grip from the new tyre.
I loved it. One thing. Fernando is well known for his really good starts along his career. I always notice he is the one that do the most burnouts before the start. Or at least the most aggressive or the one that does it in the very last metters before stopping in the grid before the actual start. Is it just me??
Technically, a driver is allowed to do as many burnouts as he wishes in the last few corners before forming up in his grid slot. The thing is, Fernando loves to delay his formation lap start by just that few seconds in order to have an aggressive launch before hitting the pit lane limiter, this helps with tyre warm up, his burnouts are also done as efficiently as possible with left and right steering wheel movements, this all definitely comes from experience.
@@speedandpower1268 experience is a thing for sure but the guy has been hitting superb starts from his early years, I think it has to have something to do with the tyre warmup in formation laps. It would be great to have the data available to see these little details
I could never be an F1 driver ... even if I was a fast driver and had been karting out the womb, I would not be able to remember all that. I'd be doing burnouts out of turn 3, using the pit limiter on the car park outside, accidentally driving Carlos Sainz's Golf instead of my F1 car 😭😭
This is such an amazing channel, one of my friends recently asked me who the most underrated F1 youtuber was and I said you without hesitation. Incredible content and informative as always bro, keep it up. 😁👍
the burnout button simply sets the brake balance all the way forward so that the drivers can apply the brakes to keep the car speed low and locking the diff so that both rear wheels spin at the same speed... where do you get your information from? If it's doing anything to torque, its reducing torque, lowering the rev limit and not using any of the ERS energy as there is no time to regenerate that energy before the race. Dulling the torque will stop the tyres from spinning to the moon while the front brakes are on and having the back end of the car trying spin.
“Gentlemen, a short view back to the past. Thirty years ago, Niki Lauda told us ‘take a monkey, place him into the cockpit and he is able to drive the car.’ Thirty years later, Sebastian told us ‘I had to start my car like a computer, it’s very complicated’......“ 😂😂😂
Pass by the P1 spot. I think this has something to do with safety, in case a car stalls, so the ones coming from the back don't crash into it. Once clear the first grid position, drivers are allowed to speed up.
Damn I had no idea. I thought they were just moving and a shaking because they wanted to! It's like a whole big damn thing to go through. Awww I want to be an F1 driver!
Maybe to top it up? Or maybe because the computers have their settings already to use energy on different parts of the circuit during the race and this mode overrides the settings? Idk anything about anything so I'm just guessing.
Qualifying is a day before the race, on the Sunday after the Qualy, the ES of the car will most likely be depleted, so on the formation lap and outlap, I suppose they have to recharge it as much as possible before the start of the race to get an advantage
The play in that steering wheel/column is a joke. How on earth is a driver supposed to have a good feeling of the car when the wheel is flexing like a logitech g29?
