Excellent video and great insight. Couldn't agree more! Interesting how even Alonso said that when he first started in F1 back in 2001, it was the easiest car to get used to in his career! Those cars had traction control etc. But generally speaking, the cars are getting easier to drive. And that shouldn't be the case. New rules suggestion: Cycle through the actual cars of 1990 through to 2005 and then go back to 1990 every 15 years 😁

I love how to illustrate how easy the car is to drive they used Lewis' pole lap of Singapore, the one lap in recent memory where he was 100% on it and It felt like he was about to crash at every turn

@samghost13 2 года назад

the old cars had more oversteer/understeer and what not 1 Corner compared to that 1 Round from Lewis. And look what he gets out of the Car 2022! Those Cars where to good and now he has to learn again how to Drive a not so good car. I like it! Forza Ferrari Hopp Sauber

No he wasn't. The car was on rails.

That BMW is one amazing F1 car! The excitement when he describes how it feels to drive it is tangible!

I’d take that 2004 BMW Williams over a 2022 car any day

Good olde Karun. Nice insights!

@DillandShaj 2 года назад

All these people on the comments lmao... Karun is giving his experience based on actually driving these cars he's talking about and people in the comments still give him shit for no reason... What a world we live in LMAO

@spudnic5849 Год назад

Because he was shit! I'm sorry but it's a fact!

There's plenty of value in what Karun says but a few things omitted may shift his opinion. Firstly, the camera technology, specifically stabilization negates our perception of speed and difficult. A similar effect can be seen or rather heard with the modern v6's. The position of the broadcast mics rob us of their volume and tone. Make no mistake, they are not v10 good, but they sound vastly better in person. Secondly, refinement in racing has always been key to improved lap times. What karun's asking for is nascar. Where the series remains stuck in the past, ultimately robbing it of its fans and the spectacle. F1 is, and has always been about technical innovations. While it's true a better car will reduce the gap between the best and the very good, I'd argue the finer margins is fertile ground for the exceptional to showcase their abilities. Bottas vs Lewis, or Max vs his various teammates are great examples. In terms of easier to drive. Senna/Schumacher never had to deal with energy deployment and a magnitude of associated switches to manage the car in minute detail. It's fair to say today's cars require more mental bandwidth and might be physically easier. Then again, modern cars create so much downforce, the physicality is probably higher than it's ever been. George Russell said he basically fell down on the floor after his first 5 races, such was the difficult.

I don't know if NASCAR is archaic. They had stuff like Traction Control, Power Steering, Roll Cages, HANS devices, etc. before most other motorsports like F1. Granted the Roll Cage and HANS device started in drag racing, but the TC and Power Steering was introduced in NASCAR by General Motors in the 80s. Chrysler also introduced pit limiters based on their invention, the cruise control. NASCAR is a spec series now though, so teams and manufacturers can't build their own cars anymore and honestly it provides parity and good racing. Motorsports have never helped in innovation anyways, considering how a lot of "inventions" in motorsports actually came from the Aerospace industry. Some even came from trains like traction control.

@johncarl5505 2 года назад

A lot of technology the big three car manufacturers of America used in NASCAR was just for getting an advantage to get better publicity, however they invented it outside of motorsports. Did you know Ford made a DOHC Flatplane crank V8 in the 30s for military use before the US joined WW2? It was very similar in architecture to the Cosworth DFV in 60s F1. General Motors and Chrysler had extremely advanced tech in the 60s with their military divisions. GM got their traction control from their trains, back when they were involved in the rail industry. Motorsports does not dictate whether a company is innovative or not. It's all marketing.

@johncarl5505 2 года назад

F1's most successful manufacturer is Ferrari, yet that company is not really innovative. They even used GM's MagneRide, until the patent expired. A lot of companies these days have their own versions of magnetic suspension, but Ferrari couldn't wait for GM's patent to expire like the others did. It's so funny that for a few years, GM and Ferrari cars used the same name for their magnetic suspension.

@NS-pn4sk Год назад

Fair and interesting points. However we should establish that he has personally driven V6, V8 and V10 formula 1 cars, and therefore heard and felt the cars from the cockpit itself, as well as in person as a spectator and finally through broadcast. in terms of innovation, there's plenty of room for innovation that still maintains the high level of entertainment that formula 1 once was. Over the past several years, formula 1 has prioritized innovation for the sake of efficiency and safety rather than entertainment, and sheer driving. I think this is a very important change of direction, because efficiency and safety are the future and must be prioritized at all costs. However, at this point I think entertainment needs to be considered because formula 1 is losing its entertainment value, and that can lead to its eventual demise. Bringing back V10 engines with biofuel, or increasing their efficiency significantly, using twin turbos, or other innovative ideas, many of which have been suggested by Karun, would all be very entertaining without necessarily sacrificing efficiency or safety.

lol coming from this guy

@BrattyBiker Год назад

Too easy ?! Has he won one race ?

@tarun1982 11 месяцев назад

too easy to keep on the track, you m0ron.

@TomH2681 10 месяцев назад

How is that relevant? He's comparing older F1 cars to modern cars and noticing the new ones are too easy to drive. Even an amateur would be able to tell.

@BrattyBiker 10 месяцев назад

@@TomH2681 If it is easy to drive, he'd have won, right? No wonder, he is fit only for commentary. Largely incompetent in racing.
