      Or the hundreds of millions of dollars of constant engineering and testing of an F1 car by each team to hopefully reduce lap time by .2 seconds. $$$ a F1 team has is a direct relation typically in how well they do. That's why the manufactures, as much as the love their driver winning the championship or placing high in the standings, the race teams get money for how well they place in the constructors championship to all build a faster car then rinse and repeat the above.

    14:19 the mhu-h also can take energy from the battery to spin the compressor. When that is done, the wastegates are open. This is done because the mguh can spin up the compressor faster than the lower revving compressor, thus making the car accelerate harder.

      I 'fake' everything in the absolute simplest but most believable way possible, whenever I can. Air, water, electricity -- for these things I use techniques like old video games. Simple shapes where the texture/material is what's doing all the work. I've studied "procedural nodes" a lot, where you can use blender's built-in textures like "noise" or "voronoi", and mix them together to make clouds or smoke etc.
      For the air around the body I studied aerodynamics sims online, and then built actual shapes to mimic those photos. The materials and transparency make it look convincing, but they're just many flat simple shapes to get the contours I need.

    Great, thanks! If that hasn't already been mentioned, it's a "pitot" tube to measure airspeed at the front, not a "pilot" tube (from the name of the engineer who invented it). It's mainly used in aviation, but many concepts of aviation have made their way to formula 1 where air flow is a major characteristic (as wonderfully explained in the first part).

    This video was amazing. I’ve been an f1 nerd for years so knew most of it from own research but this would be hugely helpful for a newer fan stopping them from having to get bits and pieces of information.
    The only things I noticed that weren’t 100% right where when talking about the steering wheel. Launch control and other driver aids have been banned for decades although the cars do have modes that adjust the clutch and engine settings to help with setting off. Also the gear shift is more commonly the middle paddles (although pretty much all the controls can be mapped to the drivers choosing) and some cars like the Mercedes have buttons instead of a third set of paddles behind the wheel.

I suspect they put a lot of man hours trying to figure out a lot of things like how to improve the car performance, rebuilding the cars after the drivers crash maybe in quali so that they can race on Sunday etc. I think they need to be appreciated more🤗🤗.

      A year later I noticed you were asking about research, and I say better late reply than never ;D For research I pull out all the tricks I've learned over the years. Searching in modeling forums where hobbyists create faithful replicas of things and share PDF manuals etc. You can also search patent drawings. Twitter (now X) has engineering photos from people in race industry that you can't find elsewhere, and also supports boolean searching for photos only! Also old forums are goldmines for historical projects.
      I suppose the main thing is being insatiable, and going sometimes days at a time not finding what I want, but knowing if I keep pressing, I WILL get what I'm after!
      For F1 specifically, it was a lot of old twitter threads from engineers sharing secret stuff. The forums at f1technical.net. And good ol' google image searches.
