We are comparing the lap times of Carlos Sainz's 2023 pole lap and Rubens Baarrichello's 2004 pole lap around Monza to see who is faster. Subscribe! @formulaaddict
You can't use that argument tho, because F2004 had plenty of advantages that SF23 didn't Back then engines needed to last only 2 races, tyres were made specifically for Ferrari by Bridgestone pretty much, rules allowed for lighter car and driver aids. All cars are made to specific ruleset, you can't just say for one "imagine if it had this", without doing the same for other one.
@@russotusso1695 There's literally nothing that you can add from the F2004 to the SF23 that would make it faster aside from the traction control, and that would only net you like maybe 2-3 tenths per lap tops. But if you do something as simple as giving the F2004 some C5 tires, it's gonna gain multiple seconds a lap on every single track on the calendar. In that logic as well, let's just give the F2004 some DRS as well. Get that top speed another 10-20kph higher. Like, I obviously see the point of your argument, but there's really nothing for the SF23 to gain. It has massively more advanced aerodynamics and the tires are better to the point that the F2004's tires might as well be consumer-grade tires. It's not fun to imagine the new cars with driver aids, but it's a ton of fun to imagine the F2004 with new age tech under its belt.
@@firedell1031F2004 already did 367 kph at Monza now you want it to do 20 kph higher??? How much speed you want my Friend 😂 With that F2004 will cut off 2-3 seconds off
@@firedell1031 Better tires? You're joking right? In the F2004's era there was a tire war going on, the tires weren't made by only one manufacturer and purposefully made to have a short lifespan for the sake of pit strategies, sure they were grooved, but the tire manufacturers were always trying to get an edge on eachother, they were pretty much on the limit of what their rules and technology allowed, unlike pirelli tires, which are only better because they're 20 years newer. Also, if we are giving the F2004 C5 tires and DRS, let's give the SF-23 a turbo V12, get rid of the hybrid system for weight reduction and THEN compare them again. "But imagine if the f2004 had..." No. We're judging the cars under the rules they have been built for, not based on what your imagination said it would be like, and if the F2004 is to follow the rules it was designed for, it would not be the fastest car in the planet, doesn't matter how many assetto corsa simulations you've done with an F2004 with slicks, it's just not how it works.
have you seen ralf schumacher´s lap around the red bull ring last year? new-gen tires but de-tuned engine (i think 750hp) and he didnt drove his car for almost 10 years and still was faster than the fastest race lap
Imagine how fast a 2023 car would be if it weren't hampered by safety, and were allowed to use as much fuel as the 2004 car, it would develop 1600hp and weigh 100kg less than it is today
F2004 with no race fuel like here and 2023 qualy format could be easy under 1:19,0. With slicks i think it would be about 1,5s perhaps even more on this track. so a sub 1:18,0 would be possible in modern qualy conditions with slicks
In 2004 they had race fuel for quali, usually for first 10-12 laps + the quali lap. So they had atlest 30 liters of fuel which was back then calculated to around a second a lap depending on the circuit. Even without slick those cars were monsters.
love this comparisons. the 3 litre v10 era was great. Looking back at old footage, there is a distinct visual difference in how nimble the older cars were in slow turns and off the corners. I would love to see a comparison of an 86 monster in quali trim to todays cars, but I don't think any track layouts survive that match
Love that Rubens still has the race lap record. Nice guy and nice for him to have one or two spots in history books since Michael took 90% of the records.
The sad thing is we’ll never know how many drivers in equal equipment could match Michael as with Ferrari he had a clause if running one two he would always be number one. Knowing that I just can’t call him the GOAT.
@@zacharyradford5552yeah I was always a fan of Rubens rather than Michael for that reason, he was mistreated so much. People think it’s just Austria but honestly the incompetence on his side of the garage was crazy. All sorts of basic errors with pit stops etc, it was like instead of dividing the staff 50-50, Michael had every top mechanic and Rubens had none. Michael was obviously the better driver overall but it should have been a lot closer than it was and we could have had one or two good championship fights.
@@zacharyradford5552 just watch the seasons michael didnt won the championship, he was in inferior car and outperformed the top dogs, like 1998 Hungary 1996 spain and a lot of others. And outperformed Rubens like 90%
I liked Rubens but let’s be honest, he doesn’t had the quality to be a champion, you must have that something, that in my personal opinion I think the only one out of the already champions in that era was Coulthard, Irvine almost got a lucky break in 99 same as massa in 07 but they don’t quite seems to have that extra risk in the moment of truth and remain as really good drivers but that’s all Unless you get a monster car like mansell 92, hill/villeneuve 96-97 and button 09 it’s hard to see a good overall driver winning a championship Schumacher hakkinen Hamilton Alonso Verstappen kimi Vettel etc apart from been good drivers they can advise and help the team to improve the car and in the moment of truth they can risk everything for that throphy the last one been verstappen last lap of the season against Hamilton for his first championship he was all in attacking with fresh tyres and Hamilton was all in defending and attacking with old tyres, that didn’t ended in crash just by luck but they show what a champion is capable of in those moments
@jonasjonaitis8571 what a braindead thing to say. thats just not possible lol. grooves = less rubber on the track = less grip. slicks are the opposite. modern slicks have been added to many v10 era cars in simulators and it does give seconds better lap times. go look at ralf schumacher lapping red bull ring with slicks; hes old and out of touch with the car and still faster than anyones race pace.
What do you think about making an animation comparing a lap by Alonso in 2005/2006 to one of his laps from the current season? It'd be interesting to see since the cars changed a lot, but the driver is still the same
Very nice comparison. Many Thanks. I am thinking that Rubens had some fuel already in car for the race and the tyres were not quite up to temperature because of only 1 flying lap. And also because of that he couldn't push 110%
Someone with some common sense in these comments. I'm truly puzzled how other people don't understand that the sausage curbs now slows the modern cars a lot.
>1,5s bullshit. Look at the lines. In Lesmo i.e. the 2023 even turns in a tighter radius than the 2004. And in the chicanes it's only Ascari where the diiference in racing line is really large. 2004 had: grooved tyres, race fuel loads, no DRS, no ground effect. And still being quicker. For a speed track, these cars are superior. simple as.
@@kirinoa LMAO! the Lesmo doesn't have sausage curbs so why bring those up?! From the video it clearly shows the 2004 car taking the first chicane, the 2nd chicane, and Ascari with a much tighter line. The 2023 car is able to close right up to the gearbox of the 2004 car in the first braking zone, but then suddenly teh 2004 car pulls away before even hitting the first corner apex. pretty astonishing if a grooved tire car absolutely destroy a fat slick tire in a slow corner... The 2004 car is able to get onto the power MUCH sooner, pulling a HUGE lead before it even needs to get to high speeds. 1.5s easily. People like to talk about top speeds and gaining lap time, when in fact, you win and lose the most out of slow corners. If you are going to talk about having grooved tires and no DRS, why did you l leave out traction control and TWICE the fuel flow??? If the 2023 car were allowed as much fuel it'll develop 1600hp. game over.
As backwards as this sounds F1 is a marathon not a sprint, the V10 engines had to refuel on pitstops and died after 1-2 races. The new engines last half the season and the fuel lasts the whole race. Watch a comparison of the pit stops. Just cause a 2023 seems slightly slower but everything around it advanced as much as you would think it would have.
All Formula One is, is a book full of rules and limits, and the vast majority of them are designed to slow the cars down. The rest, are designed to make it cheaper...which also slows the cars down. That's literaly all a "Formula" is. It's the book of restrictions and regulations that dictate how you can build the car. And any time someone comes up with something that makes the cars much faster, and is still within the rules, they change the rules, to ban it. It makes sense. It's for the safety of the crowd as much as the drivers.
@@paya5911but this is not good. Not a thing you said is enjoyable. Refuelling, albeit dangerous, was very good for entertainment. Same goes for the crazy tunned up engines that lasted a few races. Nowadays cars can afford to not have almost zero mechanical issues, which is disgustingly boring
the Onboard view is very good, I would suggest making a whole video in 2 parts, 1 full-time aerial camera and then a full-time Onboard camera, I think it would be very good
It seems new cars produce more downforce, allowing them to gain time in heavy braking zones (along thanks to wider slick tyres) and through high speed corners, but low weight of 2004 cars allow them to match them in low and medium speed sections, as well as less downforce allowing higher top speeds despite being around 50hp weaker.
They have higher sustained horsepower than todays cars as the V10s could sustain 900-950 Hp through the entire lap unlike todays cars where the ttv6 provides 850 Hp only and the mguk providing additional 200hp until the system clipped out therefore the sudden decrease in top speed before the end of the start finish straight. We just need the V10/V12 instead of the hybrids and with advanced technologies like VVT and direct injection we could easily creat 1100 HP from the combustion alone resulting in much higher sustained power, lighter engines and hence lighter cars and not to mention the supreme eargasmic sounds combined with todays downforce levels.
@@owaisahmed5353 One of the goals of F1 is innovation that can be carried through to the road. The smaller engines and lower fuel limits are part of that. Going back to the gas guzzlers that require multiple pit stops for refueling is not an option.
@@Croga yes but f1 has never been road relevant so why suddenly they want to show themselves as environmentalists. Plus I was referring for the carbon neutral fuels which can pave the way for higher displacement engines. F1 is an entertainment Sport and it should remain that way
@@owaisahmed5353 F1 has always been road relevant. The original ERS stood at the forefront of development of hybrid-electric and full electric cars, monococ development has lead to safer road vehicles. There is a good reason why VAG wants to become part of F1.... Next to that: No, carbon neutral fuels do not exist and are just about the biggest lie big oil companies are telling us. There are no carbon neutral gasoline fuels; they take CO2 out of a permanent storage, put it into the fuel and then into the air again. There is a very good reason why the F1 circus is lowering the fuel limits both on the cars and on the travel and that's because they know "carbon neutral fuels" is utter nonsense.
@@Croga Which I've honestly always found kind of stupid. F1 should be about seeking the ultimate performance, not progressing road cars. That should be the role of endurance racing.
I'd say tire technology and no groove tires makes up the great majority of the improvement under braking for the 2023 car. The grooves were designed to slow down the cars after all. A modern F1 car also has about twice as much torque as the 2004 car so that would help in acceleration.
Look at the acceleration of those mid 2000s V10s out of corners and the modern V6 turbo can only keep up when fulling deplying the ERS and with DRS open.
V6 Hybrids have quicker 0-250 km/h Acceleration and equally matched top speed don't cry too hard bro have you seen Hamilton's 0-280 km/h Acceleration? 0-100 kph 1.9 seconds 0-200 kph 3.9 seconds that's on low fuel but ERS KERS was not used V6 Hybrids are always gonna win in Acceleration from standing start
@@Smzxe Yeah sure V6 turbo hybrid 1150hp are faster 0-250kph, imagine with the narrower chassis of 1998-2016 but 2021 engines... or even if they carried on developing the 3.0 V10s until this day, either way MotoGP wouldn't have a chance, they're slower than 20 year old tech.
@@1010thechamp you funny bro MotoGP bikes are so much faster than any F1 cars Rimac Nevera destroys 2019 Ferrari F1 car in Acceleration I made a video Rimac owns any F1 car While 2021 GP bike destroyed Rimac Nevera GP bike was running on low power map 8.2 seconds quarter mile @190 mph ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xsrBL6nqLXI.htmlsi=uKbIYW9uIzwexZmQ Gp bike had wheelspin wheelie and there was high speed crosswind affecting bike Speed Bike still outlaunched Rimac Nevera on dusty concrete surface On that surface Rimac Nevera did 0-100 km/h in 1.9 seconds 0-200 kph 4.2 seconds 1/4 mile 8.4 seconds While MotoGP bike was Faster than Rimac Nevera on such terrible surface Imagine 2022 Ducati Moto GP bike drag racing Rimac Nevera on prepped surface or racing circuit with full power map and mugello gearing That GP bike will dust the Rimac Nevera Not even a close race GP bike would be 200 meters ahead 2022 Ducati MotoGP 100-360 km/h 10 seconds Qatar GP Rimac Nevera 100-360 km/h 17 seconds Huge gap not even close
Just to be clear the F2004 had grooved tyres instead of the slicks we have right now and it also didn't have DRS. What it did have is sheer power to weight ratio!
because in 2004 the qualy format was different and it had no DRS too. the real difference between this car is seen on race fastest laps: 2004 1:21,0, 2023: 1:25,0. Now imagine you put slicks on the F2004... it would laugh at everything even W11 here.
@@delusion2987 looking at the footage of qualy of each respective year i think in the second chickane they were cutting the chicane more in 2004. I think this translates in a few tenth. So i have to give you right here. But there is a 4s difference in race pace still
@@delusion2987 i have to disagree here. This was the case until they gave a point to race fastest lap, so in many cases now they pit 2-3 laps before race end so practically no fuel, take the softest tyre and go for it with ers charged so it is more like a qualy race fastest lap nowadays while in 2004 they never pitted for fastest lap so tyres were older especially in Monza where they had max 2 pit stops. So it is quite the opposite of what you told
@@delusion2987in monza yes right. fastest lap was on lap 43 with new softs. In 2004 it was on lap 41 with new tyres so if we would go to your statement that nowadays fastest laps are handicapped well they are not
you can't possibly compare these two because the track is completely different. Back then kerbs didn't exist on this track and they could cut all three chicanes. Look up any 2004 monza onboard, you will see the difference. I'd say 2004 track is at least two seconds faster and with the same corner layout new cars would be much faster.
@@juzh1238 i mean that a comparation has to be done with common parameters: you say that the track is not the same and this is true, but i say that the tyres and drs are not the same, and It Is also true, and all summed up give a sort of parification of condition
@@PPMGunslinger point is we're trying to compare cars, but that's hard because track varies too much between those years. There's so very few track left that we can make a comparison. Actually not a single track remains the in same layout as it was in 2004 - all tracks apart from suzuka and bahrain are not slowe and those two are faster
People talk about the F2004 being faster.... its not about a better car, higher speed or more grip. Its about 1 thing only and that is the regulations for every year. If the teams today had free hands with everything than the cars now would be twice as fast as a car from 2004. The concept of F1 is "do the same with less". Today you have smaller engine, heavier car, less fuel, more reliability, more driver weight, no driving aid, less revs and it has to last for much longer... and still the car is almost as fast. F1 has always been about pushing the engineers, designers and the people... not lap times. Peace to all and lets hope for rain in Singapore (have we ever had a Singapore race with rain ??)
That's not what F1 is about at all, respectfully, you're just justifying F1's decisions because you love the sport, and that's okay! But F1 is about who can build the fastest car on the planet. That is all. Regulations just get in the way of that mission for safety reasons.
@@TehAzaack yes and the buisness model from the beginning was everyone puts in money as a prize pool, and whoever builds the fastest car wins. Modern F1 has ruined the sport by forgetting that. It would be way more popular if they didnt butcher it. There is a reason WEC and WRC are gaining viewers so rapidly, it's because they have resorted back to the spirit of racing being about the cars themselves. F1 will deteriorate unless they follow suit and make smaller, lighter, louder cars
In other words, FIA, both in WEC and F1, is determined to keep top speeds down, meaning the only way manufacturers/teams will be able to improve lap times is by increasing cornering speeds.
I would love to know the difference in fuel used. Pretty amazing the laps are that close consodering how much smaller the engine is now. Also like someone else mentioned. No sausage curbs in 2004.
Fun fact: In the same weekend, but in the first qualifying which at the time determined the positions for the real qualifying session Juan Pablo Montoya did the fastest ever lap on Monza of 1:19.525 with average speed of 262,2km/h! This is 0,5sec quicker than the pole position time! In qualifying he finished 2nd.
The advancements didn't make it slower. The rulebook did. They NEED to peg the car's speed. if they'd let cars keep getting quicker, they'd have to redesign all the safety barriers, and move the stands farther away from the track
Its not only the 2023 got slicks even though the develpment of 20 years of tires. i was dring amateur/hobby motocycle racing many years. In my class there was a ristiction to bridgestone tires to get points and after race finish you get inspected for that. In qualifying everyone drive Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa at this time. It brings you even on a short track more then 4 seconds.
Scusate ma quali tempi avete tenuto in considerazione? Quelli in gara o in qualifica ? Perché in gara il tempo record è del 2004 in 1'21"046 , mentre in qualifica è del 2020 con 1'18"887 .
2004 width, length and weight and of course V10 engines. But also some of the aero rules that prevent dirty air, and necessities such as the halo, and no traction control of course.
I'm just waiting for the day tht one of the F1 teams decide to build the fastest f1 car possible with no restrictions and do a laptime around Spa. Similar to what porsche did
Makes sense a track like Monza, of all circuits, benefits the 2004 car. And the higher speed of this year's car at Parabolica also makes sense because of the more sophisticated aero and suspencion. Not to mention the 2004 car had grooved tyres.
Tbf to 2023 cars, the 2004 cars were lower on drag and had lower weight with the same power. Having no drs meant extra slim wings aswell. Also having Traction Control helps too.
To be fast around Monza you need good low speed grip and handling, traction and top end. Both cars have great top end. The SF23 has better traction but the real deciding factor here is the low speed grip and handling the F2004 has through the slow corners is it's biggest advantage. This is an exercise of light cars
The impressive thing here is that a car that’s 30% bigger and heavier can keep up, finish a Grand Prix on 120 kg of fuel and only use four engines per season.
The SF23 to me is really impressive if you look at the weight of the current F1 cars. The 2004 car weighed about 600kg while the SF23 weighs in at about 800kg.
Give it time. Monza is one of the rare occasions where old F1 cars can compete with modern ones. However, note that we currently have changed regulations and the teams are still getting around them. Times will drop. The 2020 cars laped at 1:19 with the pole being 1:18.8 So yeah. With current 2023 cars maybe the 2004 gets and advantage at Monza specifically. It wont last for long.
Imagine how fast f1 would be if they continued developing f1 2004 cars for 20 years without changing the regulations… 20 years of power and speed in that 3 liter V10 etc. If you add mechanical grip by removing then groves aswell …oh my that would be the REAL formula 1 of today
F2004 was few hundreds kilos lighter, F23 has ground effect. F2004 has a 900bhp naturally aspirated engine, F23 is capable of over 1.000bhp but just for some limited time during the lap. Another huge difference is the size of the two cars: F2004 is much shorter and narrower than F23. F2004 ran on grooved tyres, F23 on slicks. F2004 needed pretty much double the fuel of F23 to run the same distance. F2004 was much simpler than F23. Ciao!
