I've been waiting on you to feel comfortable doing this type of analysis ever since you first announced leaving Mercedes. There really aren't many people on RU-vidrs with the technical knowledge to be able to provide this type of in detail analysis. Awesome video with some great insights into the engineer's thought process, and I can't wait to hear your thoughts as the other teams start announcing their cars!
Reminds me of when Aarava used to do his basic analysis when he was an aeronautical engineering student. But far more detailed as Kyle obviously has a much more intimate knowledge of F1 concepts
One of hundreds of serfs at Merc. His reasoning for leaving made too much sense to me. There's a reason why the Brits invented the stiff upper lip, living there could make anyone cry.
The rules are tight this year, but I'm still expecting to see some notable differences in how teams approach them. Any interesting solutions you're looking to see?
I don't think this is extremely close to the final car. Only thing i'll love to see are aero rims (like the WEC toyota) instead of those ugly wheel covers.
Rumor has it Haas might run pullrod at the front, and looking closely at these pics/renders the pushrods don't seem to blend into the bodywork like the wishbones do. Will be interesting to see what they have on the test. Apart from tiny details and the shape of sidepods, I suspect all cars will be very similar this year...
This is exactly the kind of detailed technical analysis I wanted to see of these release images. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, and I hope you'll do this for more teams as they unveil their cars!
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts on these cars! I especially like the speculation on why a team might have chosen one of the possible solutions over the others allowed by the new rules. 👍
Hey Kyle, love the vids, you should totally do a video for each car and then at the end of the season a comparison of the front running cars to the show cars to see the rapid development of the cars
Definitely would watch more rundowns as the car reveals are released! Very interesting to hear about the unseen work that the air does on the car. Great job Kyle.
As an aerospace eng grad now in another industry I can't state how enjoyable this video is. Good throwback to the days when I could pinpoint these things myself. I have definitely lost some of the sauce now. Keep em coming!
A proper analysis from a true expert, I just stumbled upon this channel and I’ve gotta say it was an instant subscription after watching this exceptional video. 👏
This is by far the most comprehensive video I've come across analysing the new Haas. I particularly enjoy listening to the concepts around the shapes and airflow management. I've studying mech eng and always wanted to speak more to aero engineers from F1 to understand how the demands influence their problem solving skills. I'd really like if I could get in touch with you and have a chat. Thanks, keep up the good work, people like you make a big difference doing content like this. You've got my like and sub!
Was just about to ask if you could please do this type of deep analysis for each teams car as they’re released but was delighted to hear that’s exactly what you’re planning. Can’t wait!
Came to this channel for the first time. It only took me a less than a minute and a half to subscribe. I have some limited knowledge of aero myself (it being part of my studies, but I specialized in another area of aerospace engineering) and it's clear you know your stuff. It's refreshing to see a real experts view on youtube instead of those quasi expert/reporter/youtuber views. Can't wait to see more of your views on different launches.
Hi Kyle, awesome video as always. You haven't gone in much depth regarding the aero effects of the wheel covers as well as the winglet wraping around the front tyres, I would love to hear your take
Love the analysis! --- Idea for future video/content >> Aerodynamics of a pickup truck (primarily the classic tailgate UP vs tailgate DOWN) and how the tailgate effects fuel efficiency and downforce/drag. It has been a topic cover by many (including mythbusters) but I would love to see your take on this with CFD etc. Definitely a highly debated subject, and might have the potential to draw in a a lot of new viewers. Keep up the great work!
You and B sport both do such an amazing job explaining highly complex effects simply. As a fan of f1 and a college student fascinated with aero, though not studying it, I really appreciate the work y’all put into these videos.
Awesome video, i can't wait for the others! Is it also possible that the diffuser is so squared up in order to support the flow to the beam wing to maybe crank it a bit more?
I would seriously hope to see a significant upgrade of complexity come testing. They have had longer than anyone else on this design since they gave up before 2021 even started.
Really enjoyed that video! looking forward to the rest of the grid! Wondering also if you could do one on the Le Mans Porsche the just had some photos shown?
Very interesting! I have a question on Future F1 Aero content - would you consider doing videos on 'interesting' (either good or bad) Aero concepts in F1 and why they worked or didn't work? For example, HAAS in 2019 stalling the rear wing, or the first Ground effect car?
I wonder if he agrees with Scarab's assessment of the fake push rod. When they highlighted the entry into the chassis, it does seem fake. Great assessment though.
Nice to see a video that actually analyses the new aero design of the haas rather than just claiming it’s the same car because the livery looks the same
Magnificent work! I wish you can still be in F1 (if that would suit) as you clearly have talent. Also would love to have more people like yourself covered by behind the scenes. However, I am glad you are still In F1 scene giving people and fans your professional very experienced perspective.
hello! im still in high school, but my dream job is to be an aerodynamicist for an F1 team. for my college major should i do a double major with aeronautical and physics? or any particular steps/tips you have?
thats what i ve been waiting for! thank you. i was wondering about those standardized front wheel winglets. i am guessing they are creating a vortex that stoppes the tire wake come up so a clean airflow can stay on top towards the rear?
2:00 And what do you think about the push-rod suspension arm on that frame? The highest one seems to be lacking bodywork around it, can it be a fake to hide real pull-rod concept?
Mate, that was impressive analysis… I work in the mining industry and engage the mechanical, electrical, civil and structural engineers daily… but aero is a whole new level of complexity. What sort of race cars are you doing dev work on now? Keep up the great work. Keen to see your analysis of the other new F1 cars when the launch.
One thing that also surprised me on the front axle is that the track rod and upper wishbone are not cased together but individually (see those two struts very close to each other at the top of the front “arms” setup?) I can’t think of the last time any F1 car had that
Was there ever such things as offensive Aerodynamics that were just there to mess with other people’s race vehicles. That would be interesting 🤔 Imagine making an adjustable scoop that forces the car behind you to turn opposite the corner and forces them wide 😅🤣
What we didn’t get was your conclusion to the aero package that Hass have put together. I understand that this is the first car but you should still have a feel for how the car is going to operate. Also what about side and rear wind effects on the car as it’s been a problem for most manufacturers in the past ?
Nice vid man! Is there a minimum ride height in the new regs? Specifically around the tunnels? Obviously they cant run Lotus-esque moveable skirts to seal the floor but will we see the same thing in the early 90s where the teams aimed to get the floors as close to the tarmac as possible? Cant wait for the next vid, good work.
