How Do Setups Work On An F1 Car? 

"Lewis is faster, fix it" - Valteri

LamboWalker put spikes on Lewis' pit ?

DJ_6290 Solution: remove Ericsson

Grosjean...

"it appears that you've broken your legs, your tyres are worn, box, box, box"

LamboWalker 'GP2 Chassis'*

LamboWalker Buy engines from Renault instead

LamboWalker renault has something for that

LamboWalker switch to mercedes

LamboWalker with JB Weld

Dynamo458, Codies don’t have inertia camber

@@wastefellow2569 shut up

AOR Path The ‘mysterious engineer’ is probably the boss of Codemasters. 😂

I think the technical term is "paraphrased"

Actually some of these explainations are too basic and to some point inaccurate and use Unit free measures

It looks like. ... he forgott a few important things...

He should read the setup manual from assetto corsa

Check out the Chain Bear F1 channel. He has made a video on race strategy.

Davik .v Thanks!

Check out Marc Priestley's video on F1 data analysis (/watch?v=X8_8DYxoXdU) ;)

Nathaniel Lovewell cant relate

Can't relate

i can relate lolol

Can't relate

Can't relate

Lucas Poppelaars not wrong lol

iron boy thats classified F1 information

All we know is that Mercedes have the longest car and Ferrari have the shortest car of the grid.

Thomas John Solidum ohh i see

Matt Marlborough A vehicle with a higher polar moment of inertia will be more prone to oversteer(ballast in the rear) or understeer(ballast in the front); simply because the extra mass does not want to change direction. By moving the ballast rearward the front end is able to change direction more quickly, effectively reducing understeer.

Justin Dryden that makes sense, thank you so much

When its lighter in the front the downforce has more impact on that part of the car because the air doesnt have to work the against that weight and can for example put the car faster back to the ground after hopping over little bumps. It works together with the suspension that soaks up those bumps. When the suspension on the front has less weight to carry trough corners it is more reactive because the centrifugally forces of the frontweight dont push the nose too much to the outside. The opposite on the rear.

Philipp Wilmer thank you, that makes perfect sense

Greenday4537 It's the engine. In qualifying mode they let the engine rev at full speed to get the best qualifying laps, whereas in race mode they are limited at a certain amount to reduce wear

The qualifying mode only has to do with the engine. It gives more power for a little time (like a quali lap). The Setup of the car however is fixed once qualifying starts. So there are no set up modes. Only the parameters of the engine can be changed on the steering wheel. In quali mode, they have maximum fule injection, ignition angle, rpm and so on. Hope it helped :)

Remember back in the Days of Schumacher...and co. When you had to Set up the Car for the Qualli, and than change the complete Set up for the Race. That was the badass Days.

rF2! xD

Philipp Wilmer same here but the animations were nice haha. I always thought there was a third spring up front in F1 but instead they have that inertia damper.

Stefano Amsterdam Assetto!

Same hahaha!

crossandshoot No, you have more oversteer under braking when you have more rear bias. When someone is losing control of the rear of the car under braking one of the first things you will do is simply move the brake bias forward. The more forward it is, the more understeer you have under braking. But since the rears are doing less work you get worse overall stopping power. You want to find the point with it rearward as possible but where you can still control the car. You ever drive around in a parking lot or dirt road and pull the handbrake? What happens? Maximum oversteer. Same thing causing more oversteer when you move the brake bias rearward.

It would in a road car or a car with no aero but a lighter front end means downforce is more effective on it. It's also to do with weight transfer, as the car brakes the weight shifts to the front so having more at the back spreads it out under braking giving it a false 50:50 (or as close as you can get) weight distribution

Jason Schmid Whatever dude...

Philipp Wilmer They just read off the F1 2017 game descriptions for setup

Yup Everyone “does” mistakes

That's seem strange as well when he say that

I thought the same

But you care mostly about the temperature of the contact patch don't you? if the inner part of the tyre gets hotter, and that's the part of the tyre being used to generate grip, then it's practically correct to say the tyre is hotter even though technically the average temperature throughout the whole tyre body might be lower. Depends on what you are measuring the temperature for I guess, i'm not too knowledgeable on the subject but i'm pretty sure there are times you care more about the whole body temperature but also times where you care more about the contact patch temperature.
