Mercedes AMG Petronas has the most wins out of any F1 team of the last Decade. With 6 back to back World Constructors Championships and a 7th on the way (lets be honest), the Toto Wolff pack has been smashing the competition. It's not just the talents of Lewis Hamilton, Nico Rosberg, and Valtteri Bottas that have been getting the Silver Arrows the points though. Each of the V6 turbo hybrid era Mercedes F1 cars has been a dominant machine. In this video Jeremiah is going to dive deep into the tech of what makes the Mercedes AMG Petronas team so fast. From their unique approach to aerodynamics, to engine cooling, to the wild innovations that they've brought to the track. If you want to find out how the Mercedes keeps on winning, this is the place.

Frfr I got an o’reilly commercial

Same!
I think the most impressive invention was when Lewis and Bottas pushed the steering wheel in to change the camber for better grip in the corners. Then when you are on a straight, pull it out for more speed. Really says a lot about their willingness to think outside of the box.
It changes the toe angle (angle wheels point away from direction of travel - usually towards the centre line of the car by a few degrees) not the camber (angle wheels are tilted away from vertical, usually with the top towards the centre of the car by a few degrees). Along the straight DAS takes out almost all of the toe so rolling resistance is minimised, in corners it allows them to set more toe than normal making the car turn in more precisely.
The DAS system was so far ahead of a design that all the other teams threaten to sue the FIA if they didn’t do anything about it so the FIA Banned it after the 2019 season… The f1 W 11 was just a freak of a f1 car..
Also allowed them to heat the tyres quicker to get them into the window without cooking them on the straights, particularly on circuits with chicanes after long straights, and after safety cars.
Friend:what is f1

"Turbulent air is like when the ad comes in"
You son's of- HEY GUYS YOU WANNA MAKE MONEY FAST?
Reverse lift(downforce) is a function of drag.
More DF, more drag.
Bernoulli's principle.
Faster the air moves, fewer number of molecules in volume .:(therefore) lower pressure exerted by air at that moment in time upon the surface(car, or plane) at that area(surface). So 3 dimensional air (volume) acting upon 2 dimensional surface.(lift,or it's inverse, reinforce.)
Now
Laminar flow, disturbed air, and outside boundary area.
And vortices, channeling, and, of course, misdirection.
As forget it.
Take diffi Qs and then Aerodynamics.
But I got the initial basics, and Donuts did a good (exemplary) job with anomalous specifics.
SO,
Its taking the air and shoving it here for there to get DF.
Air at front equals air at Back.
Except turbulence. Vortices (or disturbed air) coming off contain enough energy to make a difference (?) on DF, but definitely screw up air for 2 or 3 (10) seconds so car behind aero no workee.
Now, put all that in an equation of partial derivatives. . . .
And when I figure out what I said . . .
Bob Jones bro?

9:22 Even if refueling is not banned, higher fuel economy means you either load less fuel, allowing you to drive faster or you always load a full tank and then you get less pit stops for refueling (depends on the circuit's speed and stuff like that). And even if nothing else changes, that few seconds saved by the need to pump in less fuel over a race can mean a few seconds less time spent racing, giving an advantage to the team.

"Merc's got a faster car cause it's longer"
FIA: *Immediately implements lower maximum length and distance from front of wing to front of wheels*
if only
don't fucking give them ideas
Regardless of if Mercedes is longer or not, the wheelbase of modern cars should be a lot shorter.
F1 cars are just ridiculous now.
It should. F1's biggest problem is that you know whose going to win so why invest time in it?
Mercs got a faster car because they have by far the largest budget and most experience of any auto manufacturer in F1. They invented the petrol engine. Anyone expecting them to not shit-stomp the entire racing class with these conditions is at best naive. F1 needs budget limits like other sports leagues have salary cap limits. As it stands, whoever has the most money and is willing to spend the most of it will win. Only now, in the last year of the current regulations, are other teams starting to catch up. And when the regs change again we'll watch the whole cycle repeat itself. Hamilton and Bottas are both excellent drivers, Hamilton is arguably the best to ever do it, but being in the best car on the track for the majority of his career has certainly helped.
I can't believe the number of people here that seem surprised at the ad timing. Y'all know the creator places ad rolls right?

I'm assuming this was written and recorded before the FIA put a ban on multiple engine modes, i.e, Party Mode, to close the gap from Mercedes to the rest of the field.
Although it has been implemented, Mercedes are still sitting in pole on Saturday and winning on Sunday.
The FIA are trying everything to stop Mercedes, even with these radical rule changes in 2022 I can't see Mercedes just going away, especially if Lewis is still at the team.

Next video : Why Repsol Honda's MotoGP bike is unbeatable
In 2019 season below
simple answer: Marc Marquez (and his aggressive, athletic riding style)
Alain?
@@zmotorsport2815 Simple answer; It's not. MM93 has been out all season and the best HRC rider is Nakagami in what, 8th?
HRC have been unbeatable because MM was willing to risk his health more than any other rider. MM93 has an average crash/event that is higher than any other rider. Until this year, he had been so fortunate in the results of his offs that even DP26 remarked on it.
Contrast that with VR46's period of dominance in the class and you'll see that VR46 only very rarely crashed.
Both MM93 And VR46 were aggressive and athletic, the difference is how far MM93 has been willing to go.
David Colin yeah but the Honda bike was only unbeatable because Marquez was their rider. That’s what made it unbeatable. I don’t know why you’re correcting me.
@@zmotorsport2815 He's basically a midget, i don't think there is anyone smaller than him on one of those bikes. That's the advantage he has.

Every other F1 Car: * relatively the same length as each other *

All jokes aside . The engineering that goes into these cars are very impressive
Well, as a now *former* designer of these Merc F1 cars (I got tired of winning after 6 yrs, back to the US for me), I think your video is nice in that it highlights some of the nuances which make the car unique, but for sure overlooks some of the big performance adders which we engineer in to this car. I really enjoy your channel, but yeah there will be a lot lost to the typ F1 viewer. The big take-aways which you can point to are correct though - vehicle and thus floor length, you didn't touch on the suspension at all which is very complex, and the power unit. More power means you can run more wing, you need to look at sector times to really see this benefit. One notable misnomer you brought up- no one wants their engine to run 'super cool', we want it to run at as high and consistent of a temperature as possible within the various constraints. Keeps heat losses to a minimum increasing that thermal efficiency you touched on. This is an often overlooked aspect of the Merc car and most of the others on the grid. Happy to chat about other things now I am retired and washed up. Back to restoring GTRs and watching football for me. @gabednconfused
Of course dude, you can't make a 15 min presentation and explain EVERYTHING about why the mercs are so good. Suspensions, brakes, cooling, ERS, all the parts of the PU, all the teeny tiny bits of intricate aero fantasies. They dumbed it down a little but stayed very accurate and to the point. it was a nice video for anyone who isn't a die hard f1 fan. Hell even for me it was interesting.
Williams and racing point use merc engine but yet alpha Tauri and especially Red Bull beat them on regular basis. Merc engine is powerful but their car is extremely good. Renault has powerful engine too but their car sucks.

taridean ahaha
How did that happen?!?!?! 😄
You do realize there's a thing known as adblock, right?
Through different presentations of internships/job opportunities of these teams at my university, and working in Formula Student, this is what I realised: Other teams like Red Bull or Ferrari might lack in engine or aerodynamics department, or some other team might have great senior engineers but lack good junior people, or vice versa. But Mercedes has the best people from top to bottom (think of the brightest people from your university classes). And this makes a huge difference as there is no weak link in their engineering organisation.
You can find little engineering innovations that makes Mercedes or any other team better in a specific area all day long. But when you realise that Mercedes' engineers make all of it work as a package, you immediately see where other teams lack.
Seems right. And opposite is true for their commercial divisions.
Love the videos! I have a question as someone brand new to motorsport; Why doesn't every team have active components like rear-wheel steering, toe adjustments, etc? Is it additional weight? FIA rules? I'm genuinely curious, because on the surface it seems like the most obvious idea to ensure that the cars are always at their most efficient at all times and it kind of blows me away that it's taken until the 2020's that somebody experimented with it. I'm sure that there is a reason, I'd just like to know lol.
Short answer, money
Mostly regulations. A lot of high-tech (very relative here) or costly solutions are banned.
Sometimes they present great ideas but the fia would ban them
Innovation takes time as well as time is money

How ironic that the algorithm proposed me this video exactly today
Ferrari: Write that down, WRITE THAT DOWN!
Big Boi Shrimp you mean racing point don’t you?
Aerodynamics mIght be a little too hard for the SF1000's designers. Let's start with the brakes.
@@cwg9780 Ferrari: wtf is a brakes?
6:28 where did you get that 3,725m long F1 car, that the length in the 60's maybe, today's F1 car are +5m long by regulation
9:42 party modes are now banned since 2 GrandPrix, the ban mean that they can't change engine map during race to get an advantage and the selected map is for the engine itself, no matter the team, so Mercedes, Williams and Racing Point have the (nearly, if the client teams made the change, like for Lance Stroll because he trashed hes one at Mugello) exact same engine
10:56 yes, they have some problem with heat but also high altitude tracks like Mexico and some other one (eather case, its cooling)
12:09 wrong, 1. they can't push in, only out 2. when they pull the wheel, it toes in to have nearly 0° of toe, the toe out help cornering, not in
the only fact we know its that its help maybe a little bit for top speed (1-2 km/h) because of the friction of the front tire by not being at 0° toe and it helps them to keep the tire temp stable and get more grip out of it, but the rest, its Mercedes secret (like every thing else)
Aaahh I see you're a person of culture
@@raigner i started to watch F1 late 2018 (i think i started at spa or before) and i love so much to engineering par of F1, its so interesting (i was interested in it even before starting watch F1)
Regarding 6:28 looks like they messed up as the wheelbase is 3726mm...
Edit: good catch on all that, 100% agree
@@Dezza2241 that could be the mistake but there shouldn't be any info about size except those in the regulation
Also wrong footage @12:53 showing sector 3 where he's saying sector 2
Binotto: “write that down write that down!!”
Hi Jeremiah!
At 4:09, I literally saw an example of turbulence!
When you saw that the ad comes in, then immediately, the ad came in!
WOW! I mean, that would be a co-incidence
A little gerbil in the turbo and his name is Lewis Hamsterton. BRILLIANT
F1: No you can't just have das that's illegal
Mercedes: wee car go zoom
@Adam Hayden :(
@Adam Hayden for next year*
@@lukababilodze4283 and next and next year untill Mercedes start violating some rules of car resteictions(this because few are avoided, oh surprise, by FIA)
@@matthewmondragon2074 This is how innovation works in F1 and most forms of motorsports. You study the rule book, you look for loopholes in those rules and then you exploit them until the governing body specifically tells you not to. The rules say no additives in the fuel to improve combustion, you put the additives in the oil instead and burn that because nobody said you couldn't.
@@DjDolHaus86 yeah, but the think is FIA let Mercedes Benz innovate, but the rest no, including Ferrari and McLaren.
It makes sense they have a Hamster powering their cars. They already have mice holding cameras that hang on to the car to film the onboards.
"Why Mercedes's F1 car is unbeatable?"

The Secret Is A Petronas That Why Ferarri Like To Know And See They LAB...
Mercedes is just on one principle:
MO
POWA
BABEH
(Edit: I've actually never had the honor of being this early, but could we PLEASE get a B2B on a FD car?)
We’ve gotten a b2b on a FD car! But it just happened on the old version when James hosted
more like AMG lol. Mercedes likes refinement (sometimes over refinement) where as AMG is all about MO POWA BABEH. That's literally all they do. Want a faster Mercedes? Get the AMG. MO POWA BABEH. lol. I might buy an e55 in a few days.
@@brickson98m Bugatti Bolide concept: 🤔
@@IlissaMR what about it? Bugattis are out of my price range by far 😂 I ended up getting the E55 AMG though. Sitting in it right now
Day 2: do an up to speed on the toyota crown
I support this campaign
Waiting on this one for a while now
Same y'all
Yes Please 😭😭
Max: Are you sure about that?
That part where he was talking about how when an ad comes in while you’re watching a video, and then it actually happened, that was nice.
I’m from Malaysia and I can say that Petronas (a Malaysian company) doesn’t get the amount of respect it has in the motorsport world that it should be getting here.
Its because you dont havê enough Petronas gás stations on every other street corner my friend...whereever I gobwhichever country I see lot of Repsol Texaco etc never see a Petronas here in Brazil we have the big Petrobras gas stations.
@@musiclover5023 actually you can find petronas everywhere here ..its like the biggest petrol company in the country but because its a national brand like always malaysian will find a reason to hate it
"Turbulence is when you're watching a UA-cam video and an ad comes on..." Then ad instantly comes on
Amazing edition! Greatly integrated with the storyline. Congrats!
Him: Turbulence is like and add coming in
Me: and hear we go again with the adds.
Donut media better realize how much I love there content
too much addition? try some subtraction.

Day 232 of asking James to do an Up to speed on his Dad
There he is!!
Yes mate
eyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy i got a new pcccccc
Hope some day you will succeed

Don’t let the lewis hamsterton flop shit was gold😂
That was a well placed ad guys
Horner be like “hmmmm, so they have engines... interesting. Ayo Cyril! How you doing my man, long time no see...”
Just two words:
German Engineering
EDIT: Guys chill out, i know that the Mercedes F1 Team is more British than Chips and Fish.
But its still a German Team, there is a reason why the German National Anthem is played when Hamilton wins lol.
And its more a Joke than reality...
Toyota F1 team was also German engineering, never won a single race.
five words
MORE MONEY THAN OTHER TEAMS
Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 is based in England and most of the said innovations were developed under Andy Cowell on the engine side and James Allison as the Technical Director. The only thing German about the team is the 60% of shares that Daimler owns
and most of that came from the excess money that other teams never even had the option of looking at. How is a team supposed to compete with the top of they're working with half the money? Mercedes can basically build and develop two different cars for what a midfield team can. That's just stupid. Ferrari is the outlier here because they're clearly just... Well dumb
Literally none of them are German 😂
“turbulent air is like when your watching a youtube video, then the ad comes in” i get a double ad on my face😂😂
3:17 So that’s why there’s a blue stripe on the car, to show the aerodynamics, genius!
Fun fact:Petronas company are from Malaysia. Proud to be Malaysian. Glad we have more fuel efficiency
We all knows that dude...
@@hasrularifi4970 just for others information dude
I use Petronas Primax 95 for my daily drive car..and every engine oil replacement, I use Petronas Syntium 800. My engine runs smooth for a 10 year old car
the optics of this car is also great also the name petronas. seems like a great relationship
Not just from Malaysia, it's literally owned by the Malaysian government.
"like when you're watching a UA-cam video and the ad comes in"
**Laughs in youtube premium**
OG's use adblock
Hold my adblock
I laughed in vanced
“Turbulence is like watching a UA-cam video then an add comes in” literally an add started the second he said that*** UA-cam you sneaky lil😤😤😤😤
Omfg same
Pretty sure donut put that add on there on purpose lol they can choose where to put them
the "aooohhh" understanding soundeffect when the explanation of vertices around the rear spoilers was on point. Editors under rated
Fun fact: The hybrid V6T of the Mercedes car gets better gas mileage than a Dodge Viper on the city
As someone who just got into F1 this season. These videos are greatly appreciated! Great job as always
watching?
@@midgardwhat Yeah just started :))
"turbulent air is like when you are watching youtube and an ad comes in"-immediately gets 2 ads
