They adjust for the lower downforce with a stronger wing angle. Think the reason for braking at the 200m board is more due to how they’re going 300+ km/h!
I still adore F1 but the era I loved with the cars, the drivers and teams is over now I think Still not a huge fan of new cars looks compared to last gen
Ferrari focused the car on the wrong driver that season... Kimi was overall more consistent and a complete driver than seb that year overall, but lacked raw speed in most circuits because of the understeer focus as a result of making the car for seb. Makes me wonder what kimi would have done if they made the car balance neutral like in 2016 or slightly oversteer like in 2007. He was completely in form the following year at Alfa because the car had good front end bite.
@@amalkallarackal9293 thats ridiculous. Seb was just faster than kimi every single year they were together. 2015-2018 the cars were different some oversteery some understeery, seb just had way more raw pace especially on one lap. Kimi just wasnt as good when he returned to ferrari in 2014, just one win in 5 years is awful especially knowing that they had a championship contending car in 17 and even more so in 18. Seb made mistakes and so did the team, but you are straight up dilusional if you think kimi was the faster driver, when in fact on most weekends he wasnt even close to vettel
@@amalkallarackal9293 agree with you there mate. 2018 was his best shot at the championship and yet it was the beginning of his downfall after Hockenheim. If it weren’t for all of his errors he definitely would’ve won.
@@mihaildimitrovski9204 nope.... In 2015 it was understeer. In 2016 it was balanced. Ferrari used push rod suspension, similar to the McLaren of 2000's which helped Kimi matched seb's pace on every circuit they finished without incidents or reliability and also in quali. In 2017 Ferrari went back to pull rod, which again made the car understeery In 2018 it was the same story but seb wasn't on form that year except for Bahrain. He made a lot of driver errors throughout the season and lost the title with what was essentially a faster car than Mercedes in most circuits.....
@@f1videosforf1fans99 seb qnd Ferrari bottled it badly I remember ferrari giving shit strategy to seb in China and Baku and sending seb with wet tyres on a dry tracks in Japan qualifying
In the late 80s group C cars maxed out at over 400 on the mulsanne straight at le mans circuit. In 1990 they added two chicanes. Rumors have it that group c was „destroyed“ by regulations because it was becoming more popular than f1 at the time.
Mexico is such an anomaly it's incredible. Like, yeah, teams run max downforce setups, yet they're struggling to hit Monza levels. Thin air makes it difficult for those engines to make power, but also it's very difficult to cool them Mexico City itself is so strange as well. You're 2300 metres above sea level, in most countries you'll have small towns in that altitude at best. In Mexico, you have a massive, multimillion metropolis. Mexico deserves to stay on the calendar simply because it's so unique in its environment, other reasons are a nice bonus
@@theodorelasso7466 that is so true. Terrible racer. Over one qualy lap he’s solid though. It especially shows this year when he’s racing mid-pack. He’s constantly getting passed because he has 0 agression.
@@sayan1667 It's nothing but an objective observation. Obviously it's way harder to judge the situation and act within a second or two inside the car compared to watching a replay with multiple camera angles
It’s not just late braking it’s how the brakes are released, it’s opposite of road car, at the braking point it’s maximum pressure and “gradual” release, if they release too quickly the front of the car unloads and there’s understeer. It’s amazing to think that it’s brute force & feather light touch.
When I was sat in 911 GT3 as a passenger on Nordschleife, the Porsche could break from 270 kph to 80 kph in a few seconds and the G's were insane. I cannot even imagine how much more brutal it is in F1. These are truly spectacular machines
What I admire about this clip is how Kimi’s approaching and waiting for Bottas to make a move. The instant Valteri moves to the right Kimi goes to the left to avoid running in him. Also it must be a crazy feeling turning that DRS on at 310kmh and you get a boost to 366. The sound of the engine is lovely too. It must be like real life NFS for Kimi.
We need more vids on the Ferrari Sf71H performance cuz there isn't much of it on RU-vid plus this is probably the fastest Ferrari we'll see in a long time
Trimming it down would mean less downforce, less balance and the tyres would have been killed sooner during a race. So it's really not that simple. F1 is a very complex sport, every tiny tiny change you make has big consequences.@@gnarkiller
This 2018 rari was absolute insane.. if Vettel wasnt just spinning around and ferrari didnt made shenanegens on Kimi to keep him behind Vettel... this would have been a title winning car
What shenanegens you liar!!! They even told Vettel to move over in US!!!! They let Kimi undercut Seb in Germany!!! They let Kimi take pole in Monza!!! STOP TALKING BS Vettel was always passing and defending from Kimi on his own!
the inside line of turn 1 is a lots dirty, so it's very easy to make mistake when someone have to defend their position here. also very difficult small angle to turn in from the inside line.
Lower than this foe sure. For some reason this year's cars are quite slowing terms of top speed, with less drag due to wings and other aero bits getting less than years before you'd think this year will be faster but it's not, maybe the engine fuel has reduced power or the 18in wheels causing more drag I'm not sure but even with a huge tow in Mexico hard to see tham go faster than 345kph this year, we need narrower smaller cars with even less wing and increase power to over 1100hp then we'll maybe get close to 400kph at Mexico.
@@1010thechamp Not true, top speed in Monza 2021: 344.7 2022: 347.8 Plus the second fastest speed in 2021, would've been 11th this year (342.3) Same for 2018 btw, top speed at monza: 346.4
Neither engines were illegal. They had a clever trick in 2019 with the fuel system and their rivals managed to convince FIA to ban it. The FIA never found anything. It was a grey zone. This persistant LIE must stop right now!!! @@aspectic6227
underrated comment, I aggre with u, or maybe they could work with Yamaha or other musical instrument company (Lexus LFA for example) to "design" more distintive sound for every F1 team. It also is a good marketing strategy for motorsport and musical instrument companys
I’ve seen a little over 13,500 a few times but yeah they have to keep them below limits to last 6 +races. When they came out in 2014 they only them at about 10,500. (Mercedes didn’t need to run higher & the others couldn’t & kept failing)
The outside approach to that turn is the best. Unlike most high speed corners the guy in front from should stay wide when defending because the inside line is slower. The cars have less downforce so they have to brake sooner for earlier turn in on the inside.Also the camber changes in the middle of the track coupled with less df make it easier to lock. Its hard Not to cover the inside because that is the natural instinct of every driver with someone closing so fast- but in both cases you see the guy behind stay wide and the guys in front try to “change their mind “at the last second and it simply too late.
Its really impressive how the ferraris, with the speed difference, reduced speed enough to make the corner. The mercedes's missed the corner completely
@@MrOptimisticc no if you brake for too long the hard tires will lock up earlier than the softer tires. Because the extra grip of the softer tires allows the grip from the ground to keep the tires turning on lower speeds even when more brakes are applied. The hards stop spinning earlier cause the ground affects them less, so drivers need to release the brakes earlier and thus to make the corner need to start braking from top speed earlier, when on the hards.
@@MrOptimisticc The harder your tyre, the lesser your grip, thus easier you locks up. But still, even softest tyre can easily locks too if you slam the brake hard for too long. That's shows how powerful the brake is. No ABS in F1, if you are new here.
13k is the red line. The drivers are instructed by the light bar at about 12 k because that’s more efficient for the engines life. He ran out of gears so he was forced beyond that point
it's actually the complete opposite, it's a very high downforce circuit but because it's at high altitude and the air is thinner it gives the effect of it being a low downforce track which is why the top speeds are so high
Not at all. Downforce levels are 4.5/5 in Mexico, which is just a little less than Monaco or Singapore which are 5/5. It's the altitude, and in this case, the godly engine and aero efficiency of the car that makes it so fast.
Bottas: I have the better car!! Kimi: That's cute. But have you won a WDC with a team like Ferrari? (and defeated Hamilton in equal machinery in the process?)
Hamilton was a rookie and unlucky.... the next year Felipe trounced him Massa-vely . Also McLaren was too busy fighting themselves. But granted, Kimi was doing great in 2007. However Bottas would've been just as quick too had he been in the proper F1 instead of this stinking hybrid era. I'm convinced of that!!!
@@Firemarioflower No he didn't. Kimi was beating Massa after Hungary 2008 in the standings despite having an undriveable car and horrendous luck. Do you even watch F1? Kimi at his peak is faster than any driver listed in this thread. An icon. In 2007 Hamilton wasn't unlucky at all - Kimi was the one with 2 DNFS down to car failures in Spain and Nurburgring otherwise that title would have been wrapped up by Fuji! Nice fantasy lad!
at 0:22 you can see the speedometer's blue semi-circle to move away from zero point as it hits the 360kph :D :D I was just wondering if it would break/halt/etc, but this is genius :D
