Hi Kyle please can you please, make a video about the most accessible CfD sofware that is accessible for people who dont have enough ressource as you did for the Cad software
Thank you for producing yet another excellent review of a 2023 car. I plan to watch the others soon. One comment about your videos…I typically watch them using the RU-vid app on my AppleTV. When I try to use the UP arrow in order to Like the video, it instead displays the chapters, and there is an instruction that says Press up to view chapters. Other ‘chapterized’ videos do not show this same behavior, so it must be something that you do when you create them. If I can’t reach the Like button, I can’t Like the video.
Even after the W14 intro, still think Ferrari has been the most innovative year over year. But, still haven’t seen the RB19 and all of these cars have a ways to go before Race 1.
As he was explaining it I couldn’t help but think that it could be this generation of cars’ big exploit. If what he said about it pulling up the chassis losses away from the floor is true, then I think it is absolutely genius stuff from Ferrari! I can’t wait to see how it works for them and if anyone else tries a copycat design as the season rolls on.
@@armadillolover99 I'm a Ferrari hardcore fan but I don't think it is such a big exploit from ferrari, I think it's a trick to obtain some airflow efficiency with a big sidepods design tho. I mean other cars as red bull has way smaller designs so they can't and probably wouldn't even needed that bypass inlet. This way Ferrari can keep their sidepods philosophy without giving up on all the air penetration efficiency.
It will be exciting to hear your opinions on the W14 as well. The top 3 teams obviously have different philosophies. Both the ferrari and Mercedes are beautiful in their own ways and both seem like refinements to their chosen formulas. Here's hoping that improvements to this and the W14 make for a very exciting year.
While I like the black livery i just don’t find the W14 a Beauty, unlike the Ferrari. I do like that the top 3 teams all go along with their own design philosophies
@@barneyklingenberg4078 well I thinks its mostly in the black livery as well but I find the W14 much more pleasing to the eye to last years. The minimalist pod design last year looked like an organic blob that was shrink wrapped. They improved the aesthetic of the side pod towards the floor and I can actually say it's pretty beautiful too. I just hope that they have learned their lessons from last year's design and have a title contender on their hands. So far from what I've seen the lookers from this grid would be the ferrari, the Mercedes and the Aston Martin.
This right here is was makes F1 for me, there are a million series with fantastic competition on the track but none of them have competition between engineers at this level.
It's amazing just how non-intuitive Formula one aerodynamics is! These technical breakdowns are a real resource. I can't thank you enough giving us some ideas of what teams are trying to do
Discovered this channel last year, before the start of the 2022 season, and quickly subscribed. I follow aero analysis of F1 cars after their unveiling, so as to learn more about their intricacies, from experts who speak different languages (Italian, English, German, French). Although I respect just about all whom I consider to be well-prepared on the subject, Kyle is the most complete and detailed of them all. Always looking forward to your explanations and overviews, Kyle. Thank you very much for your hard work! Now on to the W14...
@@mmazz30 he was like that probably because most teams almost copied redbull philosophy. Those teams who copied redbulls concept will probably have a hard time developing their car since it is not their original design. Everything including data analysis will be back to zero.
I don’t rate Scarbs tbh. He doesn’t have the experience Kyle has and the video itself was a few minutes long after a good couple minutes was spent on Windsor’s sponsor. Waste of time watching it tbh. He just trumpeted that Ferrari kept most of the stuff the same as last year. Honestly, I’d have more respect if he said he weren’t interested in covering Ferrari because he doesn’t like them than waste the viewers time with such a half arsed effort.
@@kwl189 It was half arsed wasn’t it. I even had to say to myself wtf is he on about. Every other tech expert has even said that most of every F1 cars performance is from the floor design. Everyone last year said Ferrari’s body design was no good…..just shows it’s in the floor that important. Plus SF has the advantage of reducing its body size as the seasons go on.
Thank you Lee and Rania, very informative and perfectly pitched show. Rania is such a breath of fresh air in her unfiltered and honest style of reporting; please keep doing your great and important work.
Thanks again Kyle... There's a lot of ppl talking on the car release fortnight we get but very few are able to do more than really say "that looks cool, should hopefully improve things" and of the few that can take strong educated guesses at what's really at play... You're videos are the ones I wait for... I appreciate this is a busy time for you, ☺️
Great work. Happy to see this channel active again. Are you going to be covering key updates during testing? I would love to see you put out shorter, but more frequent content
You analysis is excellent. Really insightful for an aero noob to here your insight! As a math guy I want to keep learning more! What was the main reason for you starting you own consulting business and leaving Mercedes?
After making all of these comparisons it would be interesting to hear your opinion on who you think has done the best job or rather who you think will be the more competitive from the changes they have made...
Impossible to know until they are on track. Mercedes thought they were much faster then porpoising happened. And he said many times it's also impossible to accurately study the flow of modern F1 cars without a wind tunnel or CFD
Very interesting to see that both Ferrari “clients” (Alfa Romeo and Haas) have gone slightly different ways from Ferrari sidepods… Haas sports Red Bull like inlets but very similar sidepods geometry to Ferrari whereas Alfa Romeo is the opposite… they sport Ferrari inlets with Red Bull sidepods. It will be very interesting to see which hybrid sidepod will make the most out of the aero performance 🤔
I was about to ask if you got enough sleep. After taking another look I'd now like to know if you get any sleep. Look after yourself man! I really hope you're OK.
these analyses are incredible, your attention to detail is astounding, and your deep knowledge is apparent. That bypass duct is fascinating. I wonder if it would be worth the drag hit to accelerate that flow inside the duct and use it to energize the boundary layer over the sidepod louvers. Any internal radiator would surely break up the large structures ingested by the duct, and condition the flow similar to the heat exchanger in a wind tunnel. I've never worked in the F1 space so I don't have a good understanding of the flow around any part of the car, and your assumption of cleaning up the flow around the top of the floor seems more reasonable, but I wonder if there are other secondary benefits.
Kyle from your experience at Mercedes can you answer this? When other teams reveal their cars did Mercedes have anyone do this kind of analysis to see if they missed anything they could copy?
I saw some theories about the intake under the main inlet going straight through the sidepod (in a tunnel) and exiting out back near the suspension mount energizing the area around diffuser/beamwing. Possible?
Possible, but not plausible. There's a lot of stuff in between those two points. The way described here is both reasonable and has a benefit. To get this air past the fuel, motor and gearbox is probably an exercise in futility. Even if you manage it, all you get is dirty air.
Ferrari is pushing hard on aero innovation and air fluid work to better clean them. They refined an already winning concept. Watch out cause everyone else followed more or less the RB path (apart Mercedes) and there's no way that this Ferrari will be slow since it's an evolution and not a revolution. If Mercedes was able to make works it's phylosophy we could see a Ferrari and Merc faster from 0.5 sec and more, than all the others, RB included if they didn't stepped up the game with some genial solution as this one of Ferrari. It will be an interesting season.
Brilliant, thanks for your insightful analysis. My initial thought for the duct was to increase the effectiveness of the louvers by conducting or drawing the heat with faster air on top & directing it. Fascinating that you mention the location & it’s legality. Is it legal to cool the fuel cell?hmm
Kyle, ur analysis are best we have. Would u please explain again on the directional rotation of the vortices on surface edges. The squirrels aerodynamicists use always confuse me as to their direction, counter or clockwise. Tnx for the great insight.
Hi Kyle. Love the videos. Just saw the launch of the 2023 Mercedes. When looking at the Merc from the top it is very narrow especially compared to the wide side pods of the Ferrari. Please do a video comparing and contrasting the 2 different design philosophies. Thanks. Regards Mukund.
Maybe they added that slot under the nose, to give more flow downstream, since their suspension modification relative to the F1-75 creates more blockage to the floor.
We all get are hopes up this time of year but, before long, many of our hopes are dashed. I'm going to guess Max is once again at the top of the tables even if his teammate is finishing behind another team. If the new RB is within the top three teams, and I think that's almost a given, then with Max at the wheel another championship is within reach. I hope Haas has a good year, I really like both their drivers and as an American I would like to see Haas place well and place well consistently. Sad that it didn't workout for Mick, I guess it was too much to expect Michael's son would be able to take a backmarker car onto the podium in his first year. Michael's brother was a great driver in his own right, but wasn't in Michael's league.
It's outside of your typical content, but I'd love to see a breakdown/roast of popular drifting aero devices. Big chassis mounted wings, roof spoilers, extraneous canards, raised bonnets
I'd like for F1, The Race or some of these other media outlets, etc., to invite you and discuss your analyses on their channels. I'd imagine AMG would be ok with this since you've been separated from their org for so long.
Hi Kyle, In the last few years. I am so interested in tweaking airflow inside my Honda’s intake OEM airbox. After many iterations, I got it quite effective judging by the acceleration of the car. I would be happy to share it with you to analyze it. Cheers
ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wETURj1qjN0.html Here is my experiment about making diffuser for mini 4wd, which made the car not thrown away from the track with less weight ballast. I am very happy with any aerodynamic experiments
Love your breakdowns of the launch cars, but I miss your analysis during the year as the development battle rages. Would you consider doing periodic update videos during the season?
Ferrari until half season last year was the best on tyre consumption. Then they had the PU reliability issue and having to cut the powerhorse they had also take off some downforce from the car, is that the reason why they started to have an huge tyres degradation, that was related to the lack of HP, cause if you have the full HP at disposition you can add downforce that will benefit the tyres. The car design and suspension had nothing to do with the issue of last year Ferrari. Is better to say that if they have resolved their PU reliability issue, also the tyres consuption will be great as it was until last half season period.
@@solinvictus1234 the PU reliability issues came with the upgraded engine. I don’t get how you equate a PU reliability issue to then Ferrari running with lower downforce. Ferrari were on the tyres from the beginning, it’s just Red Bull progressed on the weight and this issue and Ferrari didn’t progress on that front. This can be seen how Ferrari switched the tyres on better than anyone else for qualifying but come the race, they struggle to control the degradation on them.
It’s possible Ferrari lost the extra weight they carried last season which will naturally improve tyre deg. With extra downforce, Ferrari will also be in a good position to be easier on the tyres. There are strong rumours of the PU being the best on the grid but have to wait and see.
@@kwl189 Cause the downforce an F1 car produce is strictly related to the amount of power it can put in the ground. If you have a car at full power you can add downforce modyfing the wings angle and the thres consumption will be better. But if you DON'T have enough HP to stay with the opoonents (as happened to Ferrari that had to cut his engine HP) you have to took off some downforce from the car to not compromise his acceleration, but the tyre will suffer that lack of downforce, resulting in high degradation. All cars progressed on the weight, that's the primary area where teams try to find performance immediately. And no according to official sources (RB included admitting that) Ferrari was lighter than RB
Not something at all related to automotive aerodynamic thing other than it’s aero dynamics. But could you do a video on vortex tubes? They take compressed air in the middle and put out hot air on one side and cold air on the other. This Old Tony did a video on them a while back, but they seem to work on black magic. I though you might be able to shed some light on them.
Great analysis as usual, many interesting points. Ferrari in effect have a dual side pod design with the traditional side pod and the Mercedes-esc smaller side pod lower down, perhaps this will increase cooling performance. Overall, it seems that Ferrari have influences from Mercedes, namely, sliming the body, the front wing, and although they have increased the mass flow with the additional intake, it has geometric similarity with the Mercedes sided pod. Can't wait for the Mercedes analysis.
If I can see well in the video you showed the F1 official raw cad model according to FIA rules. Is it possible to share this raw model ? because there is very hard to figour out this dimensions from the manual.
