Sometimes I can't believe the split turbo setup wasn't. Because we will be entering the split turbo era (I think). Red bull has already made the jump somehow amidst the loss of an engine manufacturer. Both red bull and Mercedes are running other methods to make the air denser as well, giving each a boost in power beyond other teams' limits. I would be willing to bet we begin to see more as well seeing as it hasn't been banned. I also find it Quite genius, pulling out more HP where none previously existed.

@illegitimate0 3 года назад

@@kamleshsisodiya It wouldn't be outdated. Just because the driver can set the brake bias perfectly for a turn in advance doesn't mean they execute the turn perfectly.

@jamesshives5679 4 года назад

I'm pretty sure all race cars have kill switches these days, it doesn't necessarily mean the cars are unsafe, but stuff happens.

@TenorCantusFirmus 4 года назад

Mika Häkkinen once drove a 1930s Mercedes Grand Prix racing car; he then asked a veteran who drove it in that period (I don't remember the name, we are talking about Rosemeyer, Caracciola and their contemporaries) if they were allowed the last shot and cigarette before driving them. He was answered the last shot maybe, the last cig' no, unless you were at least 20 mts. away from the starting grid because anywhere closer, and everything would have exploded...

@emilchandran546 4 года назад

growlingbehemoth pretty much every system which could conceivably get out of hand will have a kill switch. Plumbing, electrical, production lines, computers programmes. You name if you can lose control of it, there will be a kill switch. Is a home unsafe because it has circuit breakers? Is it unsafe if it can be disconnected from the water mains? No. It just means if an appliance shorts, or a pipe is broken, there is a way to stop it before a catastrophe. Similarly, these cars are very complex and have multiple failsafes. You can always pull the clutch and brake, but what if you’ve lost your clutch. That’s alright you can just shift put it in neutral, nope, something is very wrong. Well nothing beats a kill switch. Incorruptible, easy to engineer to be robust and reliable. Simple, effective, safety. Having a kill switch is not an indication that something is unsafe or dangerous. It would be much more concerning if it didn’t have one.

@Michael_Lorenson 4 года назад

The big problem is thinking to use the kill-switch in time to save yourself! A stuck throttle is a shocking, unexpected thing most of the time. And, just one second can be an ETERNITY, in an emergency situation.

@willbeasy2898 4 года назад

The reason for a the Ferrari 640’s reliability issues was down to the fundamental design of the engine. The engineers decided to use five main bearings for the crank, rather than six. This left the v12 with an incurable harmonic vibration that would shake the drive belt off the alternator, and hence losing power to the electrics, and therefore the electronic gearbox wouldn’t select gears!

@GMMephisto 4 года назад

Engineering is so complicated that even "music" has influence on the cars.

@ma61king 2 года назад

Wonder why they didn't run the alternator off the gearbox? I've seen quite a few circuit racers run driveshaft driven alternators

@willbeasy2898 2 года назад

@@ma61king could be because when they’re driven off the gearbox the alternator doesn’t run when the car is stationary. Also packaging, weight distribution and aerodynamics would be a consideration. John Barnard designed the 640 so that the air passing through the radiator would exit at the rear past the gearbox, because exiting the air sooner disrupts the air flow to the rear wing.

The purpose of politics is nothing more than to enrich oneself through extortion and threat of violence if you refuse to acquiesce to thuggery. The art of politics is to deceive the gullible into thinking you have their interests in mind and, by taking on responsibilities that only the individual can smartly administer, pretend to provide "services". All of which have been conclusively shown throughout economic history to be run FAR better by the people directly, without the need for an extortionist intermediary.

@josedacunhafilho 4 года назад

Very interesting. Also it is important to note that as of the past years, the steering complex is customized for each driver within a team, and every aspect may be different for each of the two drivers, beginning with the shape and structure of the "wheel" itself, formed exactly for a driver's hands, and arms, and the layout of buttons and switches may vary significantly from driver to driver. So, Hamilton's wheel is very different from Bottas' wheel.

I remember when I first started watching formula 1 in the early 2000s I was so intrigued by the cockpit and amazed by all the buttons and knobs

I was not alive during the technological innovation age of f1 and I don’t know if anyone else feels this way but does it feel like as of recently the cars all look the same and nobody is allowed to experiment? Either the teams just use the designs because they just work or the fia has so many rules against wiggle room for teams to be creative. Like Mercedes’s innovative new DAS system? It’s already been banned by the FIA.

People have made that same complaint for 70 years.

@SuperDeadzombeh 4 года назад

To me the cars always look similar unless a team came up with a new design then a couple years later they look similar again

I never really liked the halo till I saw that clip of the car going over and being deflected by the halo. It looks dumb but I now see the need for it. Without a doubt it saved that drivers life.

Brilloant video! You got me stuck to my chair the whole 15 minutes! Thanks

You gotta do a video on electronics, Software, data logging and analysis and development techniques like kinematics, fine element analysis. Specifically their evolution

@GoViking933 Год назад

Fascinating. Good job on this, it’s great entertainment.

The bit about safety coming in at the end of the sixties. As far as I can tell there were 25 deaths in Motorsport in the 1960s? And it was only after we lost Jim Clark that they decided to do anything. Took another 25 years to really sort it out.

It's quite interesting as both racing sim and flight sim player, most good flight sim have recreate almost all the buttons, levers and knobs in the cockpit, but the racing sim does not. I had no problem to do the full preflight procedure when I first went into a B737 Level-D simulator, but when I went into a simple FWD track trainer for the first time, I still need my coach to tell me that two controller I need for start the engine....

Can you do a video about the history of TV cameras on the body of F1 cars? It's amazing how good the quality is even from cars in the 80s!

@danielcurtis4988 2 года назад

Seriously so well done with this video, been wanting to show me son more of how F1 works and this nailed a big part of the sport!

@cayres5803 4 года назад

Brilliant video. Mid 80s to mid 90s by far the best era. Technology meets driver skill. Nowadays it's to anesthetic with technology doing the work and the driver having to twiddle a knob and punch a button.

@jamesbisset9891 4 года назад

C Ayres considering the cars don’t have abs, tc or esc it is still all down to the driver

@dazuk1969 4 года назад

That was great. F1 cockpits, and especially steering wheels have become so complex that you fighter pilot skills to use it all properly....peac to ya.

@Arnechk 4 года назад

Imagine putting a 50's racer in a modern F1 and trying to explain him what F1 is about today. The ammount of mindblowing would be astounding.

F1 rarely get to see the cockpit? You mean the camera view they feature for about 30% of the race broadcast?

@jjanderson8235 4 года назад

Ahhh, the 50's just put on a T-shirt, goggles and GO RACE! Maybe have a smoke too.

@andrewspence3171 4 года назад

I used to race a historic GP car and a packet of Marlboro and a Zippo lighter fitted exactly behind the gear lever box. All of the pockets of my race suit were uncomfortable with ciggys and Zippo as seat belts pressed on them. Once at Spa the ignition packed up and I pulled off at Stavelot 1 . A Marshall saw me get the cigs out and asked for one as he had run out.

Wow thats amazing, I had no Idea f1 has come such a long way, I had never even seen the ones with halos on them lol, very interesting, thanks for sharing!😎👍🏻

@AramiMedia 4 года назад

Wow you are pretty new. Just to get you more into it, I would recommend watching some older races as they are quite a lot more interesting than nowadays. Try the 2010 season, the cars were beautiful and at the final race, 4 drivers could have won the championship :)

The Mercedes DAS system. Ingenious design. Too bad it’s gonna be illegal in 2021

I saw Denny Hulme a couple of times in the 70’s section . One hell of a driver totally underrated. He had a few minor prangs but survived without serious injury from 1966 to 1973 in Formula 1 at McLaren.

@Fatherjohn76 4 года назад

11:06 never noticed this design change at the time, the driver literally disappeared into the monocoque in '95
