What a year to follow politics in F1...
Please do the technical analysis on the newest Bugatti Tourbillon next 🙏
Will do!
Red Bull complaining about their rivals wings flexing too much....oh the irony.
Some people argued that RB could still do well without Newey because he doesn't build the car all by himself, but the fact is that his influence on the team is bigger than just designning the car, and it's obvious as soon as he was outcasted by RB's management, things started to went off the rails for them.
yeah, having one of their drivers not finish the last two races is quite embarrassing
He doesn't setup the car, nor does he drive it. This car and all of its flaws were designed under him.
@@aventusV33 The video states he did help setup the car. If you want to say he doesn't, it sure is uncanny how RB's performance at the track has tanked from totally untouchable by any other team to within striking distance by now seemingly 3 teams alongside Newey's pending departure. Uncanny how Max is complaining week in and week out about the car's handling all the sudden when it was fine to start the season and Perez can't even make Q3 anymore.
Also, seems like your argument is in direct contradiction with Horner and co. trying to downplay Newey's contributions. If you want to blame him for the flaws of this car, you can't deny credit for all the astoundingly successful cars RB has fielded under his time there.
So if they dominate this weekend or the next race, are you going to conclude Newey had little influence on the team?
@@tHebUm18 doesn't help that the other teams have been catching up
most things you said about Newey are the opposite of what he said about himself in his book
Is there any footage to show it? When the issue was with RB/Mercedes, then rear view camera showed it clearly.
Really like the way you make the connection with
Newey departure. many people will not easily see the
connection. Thanks !
Because there is no connection.
too soon to have an impact, ~after summer break maybe
Because there is none
lol it's like the 3 persons who replied to u above didn't watch the video at all
You do the best concise, but thorough, explanations on these topics! Thank you!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
thanx
I'm typically a RB fan, but in response to this: Then develop the car in that direction. Who cares? All the teams should be putting their cost cap dollars/euros into whatever area they think will bring them the most advantage. If this front wing concept is more advantageous than other shit they could be working on, then develop it. (i totally get it that they would prefer for the advantage to just be deleted from their rivals so that RB then get to catch up "for free" and the other teams effectively "wasted" their development. I just think that "if you don't do anything we'll have to develop the car in the same way" means nothing in this cost cap era).
yeah, i like Redbull i mean I'm kinda a bandwagon because I am more in awe of Verstappen and the engineering of the car than anything else but they are so fast already the fact that they feel the need to make these kinds of complaints makes me wonder if they are worried about losing their edge on the competition with the loss of their lead designer it would make sense but also without him now would be the best time to put all your energy into development kinda like at the end of the god father pt 1 when corleone needs to show his ruthlessness despite the power shift.
@@dolphiner1376 yeah, it's F1's financial structure that incentivises securing advantage over competition. RB's behavior is no different than Merc in the previous era, or any other team (successful or not).
Thanks for the insight. I was wondering already, that that can’t be a coincidence with Newy leaving and RB Performance going down.
That's rock coming from Redbull who at one time was found to have the most.felxable wings!
The next regs have movable aero… maybe let the engineers innovate a little and get over all the pearl clutching
I love this damn channel
“Oh no our competitors are catching up to us! Let’s accuse them of BS instead of trying to adapt”
Wow, Christian Horner complaining the second things aren’t all sunshine and rainbows. What a shocker!
can you make a video about the mini wings of the ferrari next to the halo they had similat desings since 2022 but i knever really understood how they worked
would be real nice
I saw a video of McLaren MCL38 front wing flex and it look bad, but most assumed a fix suspension and it exaggerate the visual movement of the wing. Front suspension will move up( compression) while wing moved down. Do not trust you eyes, mesure, mesure, mesure.
Where did you find the video I would very much like to see it. I am not doubting you at all , I just want to watch it so I can see the comparison
A glimpse into 2026 rules concepts already in action?
This topic was part of the F1 rules some decade ago, when aeroelastic tailoring ( referred here ad flexi wing) was used by the most of teams...with results close to disaster: front wings hitting the ground at high speed , transforming in carbon fiber debris along the track. It was a blind attempt to introduce in the cars aeronautical concept still far from the real needs of the F1 world.
I doubt that the return to this application will make F1 less boring than it is nowadays 😀
Back in those days the computers were not powerful enough to run the simulations to determine the limits of the wing flexing. I dont think the flexi wings of this era will be much exciting but its certainly better than nothing.
Given that the Red Bull has problems over the bumps, I think it's a bit early to claim that their lack of dominance is down to Newey. Seems more likely that this is circuit specific and McLaren and Ferrari have closed the gap in performance. If Red Bull dominate in Spain or a later race, does that automatically mean Newey had no impact on understanding the car setup? I don't blame them for moaning about flexi wings, given how many complaints there were about the Red Bull in 2021. The whole paddock contradict themselves whenever it suits them.
They need to allow flex wings and test cars for drag

Temo que este seu "Alivio" vai durar poucas rodadas, alias provavel que acabe domingo a tarde apos o jogo com Gremio, porque acho que contra o Vitoria o Marcao ate consiga um bom resultado. Agora no longo prazo o Flu deve voltar a pasmaceira que vinha desde 2012, um carioca a cada 10 anos, chegar uma semi de CB e sonhar com vaga da pre libertadores... que foi o melhor resultado com Odair/Marcao em 2020/21... sem ter estrategia diferente de jogar futebol e com o orcamento do clube muito dificil lutar na frente. O sonho acabou.
Does this also count as F1 Silly Season 🍿 🤣
Wow: Why not allow super felxi wings instead of active aero from 2026???
Somebody tell the FIA :) I mean... a lot simpler, interesting, less weight than active aero......
I think if they could go with flexible wings only, they'd do it. Maybe they cannot make wings flexible and stiff enough at the time. Nobody wants uncontrollable fluctuations on every small bump.
@@ReasonX3 I would say, the mass dampers is a good example. They were helpful and tuneable. As flexi wings could be.
Also, these wings are super light, close to weightless.
Such brutal look at the F1 politics. Much appreciated!
We need your analysis of the new Bugatti.
The V16?
Yes, working on it!

Newey is a fantastic engineer. I'm pretty sure he's not a terribly good driver though, isn't he? I think a lot of motorsports engineers do track days and stuff, but most of them aren't that good. If they were good, they would be drivers not engineers. Lol
Some people don’t realize that Newey designed cars either won or were closing to winning titles nearly every single season for the last 32 years or that he also designs the suspensions too and has major input into the gearbox and many other systems / areas most aerodynamicists never touch.
It is uncanny how Red Bull lost their advantage as soon as Newey was was excluded from trackside engineering.
And to think some were saying that Red Bull will do fine without Newey, that in fact he was holding the new engineers down
Horner starts bitching=everybody catching up to them.
As always, whenever RB cant win races by 30 seconds and begin to have actual competition they go crying to the FIA about something
Didn't expect Newey to be in this video and you made no realistic or believable case why he was.
Redbull cry everytime someone else innovates.
Illegale for sure
So, Newey left Red Bull because of internal team drama? It’s fascinating that you know this considering the fact he himself has never cited that as the reason for leaving, nor have any credible sources…
so there is a huge political war at RB and all of a sudden Newey decides to pack his bags and leave mid season, I'm sure that's just one big coincidence
He left multiple teams in the past because of internal conflict. Its reasonable to assume that its the same thing now.
