How it Works! The Formula 1 Safety Car Explained 

Underneath all that is the coke.

RJWilky same here

yeah, and just like my Golf, it is missing 4 fuses and still works hahaha lol!

Same

@Bilal Khalid A GT C is a much better daily driver.

Most Certainly.

Discouragement I couldn’t have put it better!

even has his own name on the sexy GTR

@@dishy2304 the flashing lights is the best part

no

Exact for grosjean

What is your pfp 😂

This is very good

but most definitely he dont attac

Cycling Cycles no he atacc the tracc

@Alex Taylor the one he pulled up was also an iPad

The right screen for video games.

He didn't call the speedometer screen a screen... So there you go

That’s three more screen than my setup

I saw this comment exactly when he was about to pull up the third screen lol

Hahahaa

@@raukepalmen721 toto is austrian not german tho he has a austrian accent which in my opinion sounds quite different

@@raukepalmen721 oh i didnt know that :D useful comments in 2019, im impressed

@@luisurbanipinto4081 Yes. He sounds like Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Kenny Phillips yeah he has a pretty strong accent when he speaks German as well so it only makes sense. Or I guess that would be a dialect then in German

Ja*

@@MPHammer mmh didn't think of it in the moment

I think it's other way around

@@diime02 mmh, well you got a point there!

Check the austin martin safety car damn

Isn't that crazy

Iv always thought the same, that car would keep most fast cars at bay and then you ha e an f1 car trying desperately to keep heat in the tyres weaving all over the place behind them, just puts into context how fast the f1 cars really are 😳

Why do you need to keep the tyres heated?

Or else there's no grip ..

@@juliusscizor8122 depending on which tire compound the car is using, there is an optimal range of temperature and pressure for these tires for perfomance. Having it in this optimal temperature is extremely vital for the cars

Agreed!! Yes, please AMG! 🤞🏻😬🤞🏻

Sky F1 doing medical car this weekend

The medical car is the one car that starts every race and is featured in every race for sure....the hope always is that it never will be used in the race....but still it too might be full of different type of tech than the safety car. SO YUP...THE MEDICAL CAR TOO....

Yes please

I wonder if they'll replace it with the GT four door?

Lol

Lads this Williams joke is done. Talk about flogging a dead joke

or Bottas

@@dystopia2142 because of james maybe

Then he'd NEVER be able to catch the lead car. His green light would have to stay on.

CalvinMagnus and the dougscore

bro😭😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Hahahaha

That be a long ass video 😂

Someone please make this happen!

Been saying that since I was 10. 33 now and I'm in a 05 fiesta 😭😭. Life can be cruel mistress, but just gotta keep plugging away at her.

Lmao

HAHAHA I had that exact thought when I saw his mug show up..never fails 🤣👍

hahah i thought the same thing!

Hahaha totally accurate!

@@GoldenBlade99 mug... cmon man. 🤣🤣🤣

How fast does it go? How many g s can it pull?

x MUSCHMULE x Well he said it himself, sometimes he can’t catch the leader

Oooor....in the 0 place 😜

Barış ORUÇ 😂👍🏻

At least he didn't crashed in Germany, like other Mercedes did

Always DNF

HardstyleBeats_Mixr exactly what i wanted to say

Theyr never realöy pushing it its a safety car

The street version of this car can go up to 318km/h already so I guess they’re never really pushing it. Plus it wouldn’t make any sense cause it’s a *safety* car

@@finnzimmermann8390 it takes quit long voor this car to reach that speed. Also the speed in cornering is much slower due to a lack of downforce compared to f1 cars.

@@finnzimmermann8390 It's all about cornering speed, e.g. a bugatti chiron can beat a f1 car on a straight (if you have a 10km straight, and the f1 car has a high downforce setup)

Mithrandir nice joke..😊.. but most probably it will be Williams 30 Sec per lap faster.

You didn't have to do 'em like that, chief! 🙈🤣

@@alexvillaluna22 Rwooooosh

@@Ronline26 There was an attempt but god damn was it bad r/woooosh

@@seaalon138 I'd say it's either r/im14andthisiswoooosh or r/wooooshception

To bad the safety car never finishes the last lap, he will always go in in the final lap...

Safety Car DNF

Alexander Jurjens Canada 2011 it stayed out until the first red flag.

@@Mreggieman isn't IT possible top end unser safety Car?

@@kaylajorden1075 The Bahrain GP 2019 ended behind the safety car

That'd be cool, but it isnt happening

Safety car is there to slow everyone down so it's safe. AMG ONE would be too fast for that

Sebastião Mendonça how you know?

@@Leon-iz9cw It's a limited production hypercar. They arent about to make it into a safety car.

@@sebastiaomendonca1477 It's entirely possible.

Over engineered is a better term.

It is German after all. Lol Us version? Safety official: Send the pace car out! Driver: gets in a stock Mustang and pulls ahead of the race cars and slows everyone down. Also driver: gets all clear to get off track and simply drives off at the next safest point and the race is back on. LOL

Right! All that technology just to tell them get in , get off ?? Radio, walkie talkie, for communication. Too much. Spending money of showing off. Still one of the coolest jobs in the world.

@@marinesr7 Safety car is used on Thursdays to check the timing system, sensors, camera and radio systems, track safety checks and so many technical details. Yes it needs to be over engineered.

nothing is overkill for the f1 race

Grammar: am I a joke to you

@@dumbroyale3892 lol

@@dumbroyale3892 lol yea

A lot of travelling, 20+ weeks a year, and away for a good part of a week each time.

@@UncleKennysPlace Where do I sign in? haha

I mean he is an ex-formula 1 driver tho

Hygor Mayrink yup

We're happy to answer any other questions! Both Bernd and his co-driver sit in the car all race, ready to roll when needed. And they use all-weather road tyres, whatever the weather

@@MercedesAMGF1 they should use michelin pilot sport 5

Who is Charlie?

@@michaellaureano9838 Charlie Whiting

@@michaellaureano9838, Charlie Whiting. Something like the main referee and someone everybody loved. Look him up!

Charlie Brown

Beryllium Charlie *Whiting* dont disrespect he was a powerful man and great one

Ferrari is unable to communicate in English efficiently enough.

So ferrari have no english speakers?

they never run slicks, but they have a spare car , and have had races where they nearly run out of fuel

they do have their own FIA mechanics to look after the safety cars and the medical cars.

I think they just use All-weather Pirelli tyres on it.

@@Trainmaster909 the p-zeros (not the trofeos) can be used on any weather (except snow).

Its a sports car. They have all weather regular wheels.

😂😂

Of course, it is Hamilton.

@Izumi Culture yeah probably

@Izumi Culture absolutely

GTA Roger nkooo

when did he mention the cost?

@Cooper it's called a yoke

Damn we have an amg gtc

Funny they made it aerodynamic like it needs to be raced or beat lap times when not in duty.

@@bb2na473 I think they made it in order to having an "acceptable" speed for F1 cars

Kieve Mercado you can tell everybody had a lot of love for that guy. It’s so fitting that they’d put a tribute to him in the safety car, he never stopped pushing to keep this sport as safe as humanly possible.

So can anybody tell about it? Who is Charlie? And why they send Thanks for him? 🤔

Ratibor Raskolnikov Charlie Whiting was the race director of F1. He pushed for a lot of things pertaining to safety, especially after Jules Bianchi’s horrific crash in 2014 that ultimately took his life. But beyond that, he was the guy that all the drivers would come to about regulations and all the red tape that they have to deal with once they come onto the track. He wanted F1 to stay exciting, but also as safe as anyone could keep it. At the end of the day he was a genuine fan, just like the rest of us.

@@MrBanshee420420 thank you for this open answer! Really good information! Glad to now i know it

ME TOOOOOO💀💀😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 it’s interesting how the timing is 🤣🤣

Charlie Whiting, who passed away at the 2019 Australian GP and was the long standing race director.

😂😂😂😂😭😂

Comes with a Nine-Stage Traction Control system from the factory setup

No those are mot iPads no way Mercedes would put junk in their cars

Solarstan of RU-vid it Actually is a ipad

@@brixtolentino2398 dumbass

SilverRonald underrated comment 😂😂

mercedes 1-3

@@jadoo258 Mercedes P2 and P5 is my guess.

Grazie ragazzi forza Ferrari 👌👌

Proper trackday, this guy is really pushing it usually, really makes you think if drivers are complaining that he is too slow.

Miel van Velzen wouldn’t say he’s really pushing, probably at like 60-70%
