Probably the best channel for technical videos about F1. No nonsense, not unnecessary fluff, just the right amount of detail, good editing and visualization.
thanks for this video, I mentioned it before but there is no one like you on youtube in terms of f1. Really! The production value, the questions... it's unique!
I wonder if there is a performance advantage to having drinks in the nose. For example, the driver drinks their drink and then need a new nose -with fresh water supply - could this be significant in terms of weight when finish in the race.
From my chats with different teams, it doesn't make a huge difference - if any at all! The extra amount you could in theory gain can, could be compensated enough with a slight adjustment to the front wing!
Thanks for the video! I spent a very long time googling to find surprisingly nothing about this procedure or the fasteners being used. Thanks again!!!!
Im still surprised how that mechanism is able to hold an entire nose and front wing and the forces it has to endure (like 200kg aerodynamic load or just when a car crashes into a wall with a bit of an angle as opposed to head on.) Great content as always Matt, really enjoy your vids 😄🙌
Positioning the heavy drink in the front wing seems insane to me. It will stop the car from turning as quickly due to the increased polar moment of inertia
@totalmadnesman If the fuel tank is behind the CofG then it makes sense to balance the depleting rearward moment with a depleting forward moment. The CofG should be fairly close to that point as that's where the lifting point is, but I'm not sure if the fuel is forward or rear.
@M8Stealth yup, they're commonly used for quick release systems because they automatically set preload, they're very reliable, easy to access and they're much quicker than an encastre bolt, with almost zero chance of cross threading or alignment failure. The pin design provides the alignment. They're only similar to cheap flat pack furniture in the most basic concept

Small correction! It's a 2020 front wing from Racing Point, not 2019 - sorry!
It was a 2019 wing.... just for a Mercedes.
It's okay, it is the 2019 car (RP19), just with a 2020 styled nose.

A tour of the pitstop R&D sections of the factory would be awesome!

Also who knew that car noses were held in by ikea technology.

Yay, a Matt Amys video to help me with my F1 withdrawal symptoms
Step 7 - Everyone curses at Stroll for causing the accident which damaged the wing
Goat has posted 🗣(Next video January 2nd 2026)
Hahaha
@@mattamys take your time mate love your videos 👊
Well that’s one thing that f1 cars have in common with ikea furniture
Yes! I thought about Ikea as well when I saw that mechanism
0:12 I don't think you're changing that lol
I like that your sharpies have their own light (and of course your very insightful video)

That pitstop rig looks very funky. Get emailing Matt!
Yet another brilliant video! Super insightful and the graphics were great
Love your work
Suddenly remembered Lewis disastrous pit stop at Hockenheim in 2019 after he ruined his nose. Such a different not being prepared for a stop does.

These video are so good. Thank you
Thanks!
I always wondered what kind of fasteners they used, interesting to see they look like furniture cam fasteners.
Oh the 2020 (T)Racing Point... when we had a great looking Pink car... :(
the locking mechanism looks similar to ikea shelving attachments !
Kimi will not be getting the drink.
0:30 didn't red bull do it in 8.9s

Maybe they add it as balast?

How much water do the teams put in the drink systems for the drivers?
@ratuldeoun7228 I just checked this and it seems to be 1kg to 2kg, depending on the race and driver. It's a lot of weight to deal with!
Early today.
IKEA...
