How Much Data Does an F1 Car Generate? 

Working with AMG has been my dream, since childhood, pursued mechanical engineering degree, and now i am about to graduate, wish me luck to accomplish that guys......

As a mechanical engineer, I truly appreciate the insight that these videos give into the operation of a top F1 team and the development of the car during the season. Best of luck at the season ending Abu Dhabi GP.

These videos are great. I teach low-level robotics for ages 9-14 and F1 has been a great case study for us to understand all of the different sensors that come together to perform one task. My students love these type of videos since they can see physically how everything works instead of just hearing and trying to conceptualize it like that

I’ve been watching F1 for 30+ years and still, it never ceases to amaze me how incredible these engineers are. The lead times for cars and parts is astounding relative to the engineering world. I love these videos.

Finally someone talks about how much data is taken from the cars in different stages, what kind of data it is, and how it is processed. I have been wondering about this for a long time. Thanks so much for this one 👌.

I love that you shared all of these details with us. Really cool video with lots of hidden bits for all the different technology nerds. I'm sure Pure Storage loved the extra advertising.

Shout out to the IT guys as well. No one really cares but without them, it'd be hard to get that data to all the people that need it.

Also keep in mind that, along with all the measured parameters, a lot of the data coming off the car are used to calculate additional analytical performance parameters to make decisions. Just massive amounts of data. That’s what we do in the aerospace propulsion world.

I'm nowhere near any field of engineering but this is still incredibly insightful. Since this is a very broad look at data for an F1 car, it would be interesting to see a very specific look at the data being processed during a race weekend, like for example a small clip being sent to the factory, what kinds of insights came out of it, and what was done to make that data productive on the 2020 Austrian Grand Prix or something like that. Thank you for sharing, I hope to see more content like this.

1:53 slight graphical error regarding the tire thermal sensors. The front wing flap adjuster is indicated instead. The sensors are actually located on the top of the endplate. These videos are informative for fans though.

The best team. Thanks for the informations. Marvel of engineering.

Another fellow engineer appreciating the video!

i love this sort of in depth analysis of how f1 teams operate. thank you for sharing this.

Now I understand why the team is so supportive of a South African Grand prix cause there's so many South African's on the team,it will practically be a home race

RIP QA team, idk how many negative cases there to check. Amazing work, hats off and thanks a lot for giving us info about how actually everything works there

What would be the one data stream that you wish you had, but is too complex, heavy or not possible to get?

Insightful. Enjoyed the conversation, commentators had during Abu Dhabi qualifying about this.

not a lot of people that nerdy and well spoken. not a merc fan but sincerely thank you for all of the the great content

MORE! We need MORE! Love you Mercedes

These are so epic! Keep 'em coming please.

This was very interesting talking about how much data dose an F1 car generate brilliant video Mercedes AMG f1 thank you.

Loved the explanation ! Love your videos ! Where can i get that W12 model ? that is amazing !

This sounds like a great deal of data to sift through. I'm happy I don't have to do it. But thank you to every single person working on this. It is because of this work that upgrades to the W13 were effective in transforming it from Wheelbarrow13 in Bahrain to a race winning car in Brazil 🇧🇷

So cool, was waiting for a video like this! Thanks Mercedes.

The information and knowledge that’s simply at our fingertips is remarkable. As a child, the urge to know how things worked was on a weekly show. Thanks to all who take part

Nice to see some new people in the videos!

Having the same goal here and this video is super helpful!

Thank you Mercedes F1 team for making such a informative video.

Thank you for this fantastic video. Really appreciate learning more about F1!

I always tell people that I love F1 cause of teamwork. There is no any other sport that has got teamwork to the core like F1 and of course I am a Merc fan

More teams need to do these info vids

I am pursuing a masters degree in electrical and electronics engineering and I really hope to secure a placement with Mercedes F1 next year.

Very very informative video. Thank you so much Team❤

Impressive thank you for sharing those informations with us 👍💖

Best Team ever, thanks for share these important informations ❤️

As a Data Engineer myself, I would LOVE to work with this data

I like these videos. A recruitment video without being a recruitment video. nice.

Great insight

The last line was gold🤣

I'm a data analyst (and aspiring data scientist) and have always performed well in my day job, but seeing what the best of the best out there can do always reminds me that I still have a huge mountain to climb.

lovely info

it's very interesting thank you

OMG!! I just had a nerdgasm!! This is so freaking awesome!!

As a person who works with data, I love this!

Appreciate the insights. Could you also kindly share the routine car setups?

this is super interesting!!!

So cool hearing Christine and immediately recognising her SA accent. I was like, hold up, she's SA local, guessing PTA?

Beautiful working team 🖐️

Great video!

This is really cool stuff!

hearing him say sparkies reminds me of my Air Force days!

Would be awesome to work on that team.

Missions control we have a problem Mission control: "Ok pull over at the next landing Zone, and then P1 then P0. Make sure thruster are off and you are safe to get out.

Love the video! Very informative. However, what's with the music??? Sounds like a corporate promo from the 1970s!

Powerful machines

Imagine working there 🔥🔥🔥

Yes Yes de Power mi Mercedes Benz F1 ❤️👍👉💪

0:08 He...He said the thing!

F1 really is more than just fast cars. Wow.

How do F1 team brought an upgrade (car part) from the factory to the track? do they fly them directly by airplane?

crazy the amount of data they get actively

So, the torque is closely monitored. I'm already waiting for the next time a driver says "I asked my engineer and he said that they don't how much power the car produces" in an interview :D

Which program do you use to analyse data with the drivers? I heard there are some programs of data like bosch and aim

AAA-video series this - kudos Mercedes-AMG

Yup, pretty hard to pull a space craft off to the side of the road if something goes wrong.😀

More nerdy stuff please!

Crazy howmuch those buttons can do they can even ruin someones race, LH 2021 Baku

That’s slick 👌

Wait you transfer 11 terabytes of data back to the factory within an hour? What kind of uplink does the paddock team have back to the factory? That’s insane

Hey very nice Dumbcane you got there behind you

Love the videos

Well merc usualyl build rocket ships cars..so I Like the space craft comparison 😉

this is why i love Merc

Minhas congratulações! Eu em particular faço a leitura CIRCUÍTO/CONCEITO (PÓS e CONTRAS) / PILOTO (DNA de PILOTAGEM); Diálogo Piloto/Conceito onde seus pós nos pontos de cada circuíto; Um exemplo literal o circuíto de Interlagos crava exato com o estilo de pilotagem do Russell com os pós do Conceito Mercedes W13! Traçado e Retomada! 6 pontos à favor, fato este ativado pelo traçado que é único de cada Piloto! Porém exige gabaritar onde só acontece porque um ponto depende da saída do ponto anterior, errou o primeiro só na próxima volta! S do Senna 2 pnts; Reta Oposta 2 pnts; Subida do Laranjinha 2 pnts e Retomada da Reta ou seja 7 pontos sequênciais! Essa é a fórmula que o Piloto tem que saber! Ja em ABU DABHI é Estratégia Equipe e dupla de Pilotos pois o Circuíto favorece os concorrentes; mas se a Escuderia Mercedes W13 / Dupla de Pilotos gabaritar P1 E P2! Show, Parabéns!!! Trabalho exemplar!!! União, Dedicação, Nunca desistir!!! 2023 os concorrentes vão enlouquecer!! Mercedes W14 somatizado com os dois melhores Pilotos + a Equipe!!! Tutâno!!! O psicológico dos concorrentes direto completamente alterado! Quesito este de extrema significância que a Mercedes faz parte do DNA!!! CÓDIGO ÉTICO DA MARCA!!! A troca de velocidade do Mercedes W13 motor cheio na crescente do giro antecipado do led visual no volante, tanto na indução e redução para obter 100% da potência na retomada! Motor W13 é selvagem! Nervoso, bravo imbatível! Codificação Quântica da troca de velocidade entre 0 e 1! Resposta agressiva em função do atraso da saída do ar!

200 kHz, that's crazy :P

Can you tell us, please the camera specs on the car (resolution and fps) ?

This is why we love Mercedes... this is why you are the most successful team. Much love

In the wind tunnel, why do you only measure from straight on? Why not turn the car laterally to understand aero in the corners?

Nice :)

DEAR BENZ F1, ANY WORD ON IF YOU WILL GO BACK TO BLACK LIVERY NEXT YEAR? 😁😁 IM EXCITED TO SEE.... GREAT GREAT VIDEO!!!

What is the intro song??

Gg bro, let’s win the championship next year

Maybe include a Drivers' standing into it and send it over to redbull

Couldn't help but notice that your book "A Book on Books" rests on a single book, that needs fixing.

Is Christine Steven South African??.? Sounds like it 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

So nobody noticed how at 1:32 the Mercedes’ has side pods 👀

AMG 💪🏁

Nice

Any engineer or even drivers are amazing, the whole project is out of this world. The only car I've ever supported is Mercedes since the days of Schumacher because Mercedes is only company that employ all race groups regardless of color! My request for this season ending race is the white shirt totot is wearing or even sir Lewis Hamilton's overall, both signed and certified pls! Your loyal supporter in South Africa!

Anyone knows how to transfer data real time from a Dewesoft DAQ?

Hahaha not a nerd like this dude forsure I’m a crayon eater but I’m definitely interested in stuff like this

I do not understand any of these stuff sorry! All i want is for all of you to get back were we used to be, then i will be very very happy. To see LH..Toto & everyone GR , James’s and most especially Bono’ voice saying….”Your the Man” 😁🥰🥰🥰 as always ♥️♥️♥️AMG PETRONAS.

I couldn't pay attention to anything Evan was saying because of the Irish pennants on the AMG and Petronas logos. Get someone to IP your team wear, guys!

Chris *Keen* Nelson

I think that counts as ‘Big Data’ - absolutely fascinating 👏🏻👏🏻

So, the sensor generated data during racing is not opened to public?

" the data is encrypted" 👍

1st Let's win with our learnings team 👊

YAY I LOVE MERCEDES NERDS BRO!!! 😄😃😁😀😊☺ GOOD LUCK G AND L FOR ABU DABI 😉😉😉😇😇

Would Gilles Villeneuve even get a drive in this era cars? Maybe but i know the answer if the question is James Hunt
