This weekend is the Belgian Grand Prix at the circuit of Spa-Francorchamps, arguably one of the most exciting races in the calendar. Definitely worth watching!
Not to mention, Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps is EASILY recognizable to racing sim gamers. AWESOME track. But I've seen more drama in Silverstone than in Spa
Biggest problem in modern F1 is the dirty airflow from the rear of the car. The air behind the car, for around .7 of a sec makes it virtually impossible to follow the car ahead. The following car has virtually no airflow over its front wing, thus giving it massive oversteer and eating it's front tires. Make the aero simpler and bring back ground effect, this would make races far more exciting.
Ross Brawn is trying to think of a smart way to improve all of this in the long run without sacrificing too much. Hopefully they find THE solution that fixes these issues. FIngers crossed
I never cared for F1 much until I started watching your videos. It's so dang interesting I can't help but watch now and marvel at the engineering behind it. Thanks dude.
@@slayerandgreendayfanboy9242 i like the idea of its safety but thinking about the chance that it would protect you from potential injury on your head from something that flyes around makes it kinda hard to actually like
@@fettaheker nope, Decrease actually. But with the engineers understanding better how the new aero rules worked, the cars got even faster. Even the halo couldn't decrease the overall speed
Arif Ahmed Yes with the battle Ferrari vs Mercedes but the gap from the topteams to midfield is huge this year, what makes a podium for force India, Williams ect near impossible. Also there is less overtaking with big dirty air effects.
+Beetjeklooien - No, just no. Williams are a lot slower this year than they were last year (in relative terms, that is), but I'd argue that is due to them making unfortunate design decisions, not principally due to the rules changes. The same largely goes for Red Bull, though I wouldn't go and describe them as a midfield team. As for Force India, they in effect got closer to the big factory teams than they were last year, looking just at the car. In Nico Hülkenberg, they did lose one of F1's finest drivers, so it hasn't all been great for them, but just as far as the car is concerned, they are genuinely continuing on their transformation from a midfield team to a top team, and that is pretty impressive no matter which way you look at it.
+AnimalzyNL - What about Baku? What about the sheer number of DNFs we've seen this year? On a perfect day, it will indeed be Mercedes and Ferrari sharing the spoils between them, but with cars becoming faster and more tricky tro drive, the chances of a Mercedes or Ferrari driver crashing out and handing a podium to a Red Bull or Force India increases, and that is where the increased excitement and competition comes from...
Arif Ahmed you think this season is "competitive " watch an Indycar, NASCAR, Or IMSA/WEC race. Equipment is everything in F1. In the other series equipment is still important, but not nearly as much, plus there's a lot more passing and hard racing, not 80 qualifyingish laps like F1
F1 losing popularity? Here's a few reasons why I think it is: -Far too expensive for fans (Silverstone weekend was £600 tickets alone for 2 people) -Boring sound, sound is a big factor in Motorsport, the uproar the V6 sound caused proved this. -The Teams, most don't let the drivers race each other and would rather play it safe = boring spectacle -Loss of free viewership in the U.K., maybe about 5 races are broadcast live in the U.K. Now, the rest you have to pay for. -The Drivers, gone the way football has gone, paid far too much, most are up themselves, arrogant etc -The tracks: taking away Nurburgring, poss silverstone etc for shitty ones just for that country to host them
Not all. Sahara(thanks to stupid Perez its gone), Mercedez(Rosberg's time), Red Bull are somes that let their driver drive to their hearts content. Although i agree with the V6 stupid sound, kinda miss the V8/V10 ;3 Not to mention stupid tracks! overall i personally prefer F2 and NASCAR than this shit..
Bahamuttiamat Do crashes happen often in Nascar? It sounds like the kind of thing where I'd want to see a crash compilation then. But at least it would be more attention from me then I ever have had for racing before.

Those appear to be contours of Total Pressure instead of Static Pressure? Small change in terminology, but pretty significant change in interpretation. Typically the static pressure under the floor is significantly lower than that in the diffuser body, quite the opposite to what the total pressure shows (largely resulting from the ingestion of the tyre wake jet, as well as vortices forming on the outer diffuser fences and inner strakes). Ironically, areas of low total pressure are showing you places where globally applying Bernoulli's principle doesn't hold true due to the presence of vortices. Just something to consider for next time.
From my understanding, tyre load sensitivity is pretty much a fancy word for tyre wear. A narrow tyre has more pressure on it and the tyre under goes greater deformation through that increased load, which leads to plastic deformation and ultimately the tyre degrades. Engineering Explained has a good video on the topic.
The Monaco lap time graph is fascinating to look at. There are clear steps in the history showing introduction of new rules and the overcoming of these handicaps and then new rules - a drop and then steady increase etc. Notable dates; Ground effect illegal '83, Turbos banned '89, Electronic driver aids banned '94, width reduction and grooved tyres '98 etc. (Good Wiki page). New subscriber, and well done on your success!
Great video! What effect does the shark-fin have on cornering? Also, is there an aerodynamic advantage to the Ferrari's massive air intakes, which look incredible btw. Would love to see more F1 content on the channel, keep it up!
Aparently the sharkfins help the grip most of the time as it keeps the air under control but on the other hand it makes oversear much more risky as the fin stalls the wing meaning there is virtually no grip from it
The fin helps a lot with lateral stability, but it also effectively acts as an airfoil the moment the car starts turning into its own oncoming air, because the side facing the outside of the corner will be blasted with oncoming air while the side facing the apex will have some of its oncoming air blocked by the sharkfin (and air intake), so it creates a high-pressure area on the outside of the sharkfin, and a low-pressure area on the inside, effectively sucking the car into the corner. It's not a huge effect, but it still makes enough of a difference that even those teams who didn't have a sharkfin on their car in pre-season have since started using one.
The ferrari sidepods allows the team to move the mandatory crash structure rearwards effectively increasing the bargeboard area. This allows this incoming clean air more area to work before going to the rear of the car.
A O There is abit more crashes in nascar due to the rules stating that you can touch another car abit but not too much where the touch affects the car. Usually the crashes are the same in nascar where they spin off track and go backwards into the barrier. F1 too has it but the crashes are more deadlier because of the open cockpit and less material used than nascar. But go watch some demolition derby races and youll have a good time!
Dude I can´t believe videos like these are free to watch. The ammont of knowledge shared in the video, with the ammount of tools such as the simulations to make it easier to understand, are something that I cannot recall from other places. Great job.
F1 has lost a lot of fans due to all the strict regulations making it both boring to watch and not allowing teams to innovate. These new regulations will be interesting, but trades old regulations with new ones. The best racing comes from styles that allow manufacturers and teams to innovate more, such as rally cars. There, so long as the roll cage and car ensures safety, teams can experiment and do quite a bit to make the rally exciting.
But, contrary with your thought, if they let the rule virtually nothing, the technology will go so crazy, the underdog team can't innovate due to less money, and big team will rule them all unstopable due to robust of money they invested. Don't let the old-building bias drive you, we already in 21 century. The car won't be like 80's again. You can build AI assisted driving if the rule is less restricted.
Awesome video! Love the 2016 vs 2017 airflow/pressure models. As an F1 fan, always appreciate the insight and was happy this video popped up on my queue. Thanks!
A small detail about the rear diffuser: The air exiting the diffuser does not speed up, it slows down. The air was already accelerated as it went underneath the venturi, which is what creates most of the downforce. The diffuser is intended to slow the air back down to close to nominal velocity so it can create an updraft and contribute to the flow under the rear wing. The main takeaway here is that the diffuser does not directly create downforce. The venturi does. All the diffuser does is reintroduce underbody air to the flow around the car, but a properly designed diffuser definitely assists the rear wing in creating more downforce.
Nice job with the production of this wonderful video. I saw my first F1 race in 1967 and my last in 1981. The 67 race was in Canada and the Cosworth V8 had just been introduced in the Lotus with Jim Clark and Graham Hill driving. I don't know if the 2017 changes will bring life back into the series, it seems NASCAR and others are having the same "problem". There are only so many things for people to do with their spare time and money, and this was inevitable. I sometimes think F1 should be 1.5 liters and manual gearboxes and skinny tires, to allow the "best" driver to win, but I really have my doubts that F1 will ever thrive as it has in the past. Something about seeing Innes Ireland in the winners circle smoking a cigarette. I don't know if modern drivers would have the balls to step into one of the old cars.
That’s pretty ridiculous he got that wrong! And just made some weird statement with the most basic friction equation and tire conservation, disappointing.
Also, the picture of the tire post-race is misleading, as many drivers will drive on the marbles off the racing line on the cooldown lap to pick up debris that could help add mass for the mandatory weigh-in (fearing that they may come in under the minimum weight limit)
Love your videos man, but your explanation of the diffuser got jumbled up here. "By having a larger opening, the air exiting is forced to expand and accelerate to fill the space. This causes the air pressure to drop even further due to Bernoulli's..." This is simply incorrect, but giving you the benefit of the doubt, I assume you described the expanding exit part of the diffuser and added in the overall function of the diffuser (to accelerate air and lower pressure). Yes, the diffuser is used to lower the pressure below the car and create downforce at the suction peak (the location where the cross-sectional area of the duct is smallest). As you correctly said, an increase in velocity corresponds to a decrease in pressure (i.e. suction) according to Bernoulli's principle. Thus, an inlet "captures" a lot of incoming air, contracts to increase the velocity of the air, giving suction before the diffuser expands and DECELERATES the air back to the relative velocity of the surrounding air. This effectively increases downforce (suction before diffuser + redirecting the airflow coming out of the expanding duct upwards) and reduces drag (decreasing apparent cross/sectional area of the vehicle to the incoming wind, letting air pass "through" the car). It also enables proper pressure recovery, which reduces flow separation and subsequent turbulence. Let's assume density constant here, considering we're (mostly) below Mach 0.3. Please let me know if I missed something, I am by no means a F1 expert, just an Aeronautical M.Eng (starting Y3 in Oct.) student like yourself. Again, I really enjoy your videos and appreciate all the effort behind them! Keep at it lad :D
idk what the hell most of you is on about. F1 is much more exciting this year and theres a lot more people appreciating the recent rise of F1 online content and engagement. This year's cars are also the quickest ever made (im not using the word fastest here). And ppl saying theyre just going around in circles?? wtf? I'll definitely miss Sepang on the calendar tho.
To be honest, I won't miss Sepang so much. It's not a bad track, but it's just rather generic, having neither the flow of classically designed circuits like Suzuka or Silverstone, nor the sheer speed of ancient dedicated circuits like Monza or Spa-Francorchamps nor the confines of tight street circuits like Monte Carlo or Marina Bay.
Robert Faber true, but its strength comes from its unpredictability to be extremely wet to very dry and hot to cold. adding so much more excitement during the race especially concerning team strategies and driver skills.
Hmmm interesting. I did some research and it seems it's true that the contact patch area of the tyres mainly increase the grip/traction because it enables the use of a softer tyre compound (that doesn't wear off because of the large contact patch area makes less force/wear per cm^2). However life is more complex than simple physics. The most obvious point is that tyre rubber is adhesive (sticky), so if you double the area you double the amount of adhesion. Both these reasons (and probably more) is why f.ex. dragsters have such low tyre pressures to achieve immense grip (in a straight line. They probably turn really bad at high speeds). So does this mean that wider tyres always mean more grip? Mjaaa... A wider tyre doesn't mean a larger contact area if the air pressure inside stays the same, because in that case a wider contact patch also leads to a thinner contact patch. In that case each tyre has more width to spread out the weight of the car over, meaning that they are under less stress, leading to less flexing of the rubber, hence a thinner "flat spot"/contact patch against the ground. What leads to increased grip is the use of a softer tyre compound that doesn't wear off because the heat and wear is spread out better over the larger total tyre surface of a wider tyre. My guess is that for this reason a bigger diameter tyre should also contribute to less wear and heat in the tyre, but it probably has a small effect. As in the dragster example a softer tyre compound can also be enabled because of less air pressure in the tyres, creating a bigger contact patch area which produces less wear (not more friction) and also more adhesion/stickyness. Please someone, correct me if I'm wrong. I'm by no means an expert in this. I'm just very F1 interested and made some quick research now on this particular subject and put 1 and 1 together :)
Oh my gad! That sim software and your work with it are AMAZING. Great video, I'll be using this video and a few excerpts from your others to pitch the usage of a license to purchase this software...i know that sounds goofy but i need simplified language and real-life samples to pitch this to my area heads.
Great to hear. I used the software in my old engineering job to do some analysis on high voltage cables short circuiting and impacting their cable ladder. It really impressed the execs in the company when they found out the software was free.
I don't think these changes negatively affected the thrill of f1 at all, if anything they made it better. Faster grippier cars means any small mistake will cost more time which helps overtaking. We've even seen a double overtake in Baku this year.
If they removed most of the rules in F1 it would get much more interesting. And also the abilty to watch it live online for a cheap amount, say €5 per race, with no ads. And I'm not talking about allowing guns on the cars, I'm talking about letting the teams decide what engine they want, what fuel they want, basically everything except a few things to make it more fair. I wouldn't mind seeing diesels, electric and other types of F1 cars. Maybe even AWD or non turbo cars. Just more variety.
A higher contact patch does actually increase grip when using identical tyres, even though the friction formula does not show this. This is due to the properties of the rubber itself, having a higher coefficient of friction when under less pressure. This is not a major effect in comparison to the friction formula, but is significant
Contact Patch area is only dependent on Weight. You could revise by saying the contact patch width has increased, and wider tires allow for better contact patch cooling, which allows for more grip over time.

While the aerodynamic changes in the 2017 F1 cars do increase speed and downforce the biggest problem that continues to hinder F1 is the fact that the old rats who run it continue to add ridiculous regulations, essentially taking all innovation out of the sport. Nowadays the engines are turbocharged V-6s that have a maximum allowed displacement of 1.6L and a rev limiter which is only allowed to reach 15,000rpm, in doing so most of the engines barely break 800hp even with a pair of massive turbochargers. Just a little over 10yrs ago many F1 cars used naturally aspirated V-10s or V-12s that could reach over 19,000rpms and put out over 950hp with ease, most of which weren't even over 4L. Imagine what we could do with today's technology if we removed most of the ridiculous regulations and focused on innovation, instead of V-6s or electric drivetrains we could have twin turbocharged V-12s or V-10s revving to 25,000rpms and pushing out over 1500hp. It would be a glorious sight to see and it would be a major win for racing, not to mention every major car enthusiast in the world.
DaBomb from Guam if the engine regulations were free they would probably still Build v6 or v4 engines. Look at lmp1. The sound is not as good but it doesn’t suck either.
vortices have low pressure inside, but things don't get sucked toward them, their spin balances that. if anything the fluid that is no longer inside, as they form, has to go outward.
The title is wrong. List the tracks where the 2017 cars beat the 2004 lap records... I'll be waiting. This is a list of tracks where the 2004/2005 cars still hold the lap records where the exact same circuits are used in 2004 and 2017: Australia/Melbourne, Bahrain, Monaco (slow, downforce track!), Nurburgring F1 track, Canada/Montreal, Germany/Hockenheimring 2002-present, Hungary/Hungaroring (another slower, downforce track!), Belgium/Spa had a very minor change in 2007 but Raikkonen set a 1min 45.1sec in 2004, Italy/Monza, China/Shanghai........ Silverstone/Britain was changed in 2009, otherwise 2004 would hold that too. This is all as of 6th September 2017. We still have Interlagos/Brazil and Suzuka/Japan to come... The 2004 cars are still outright FASTER than 2017 cars. Maybe next year we will see faster cars.
Jenna Gilkes but that is mainly because refuelling is banned. Compare qualifying laps, and you'll see how the 2017 cars have posted new track records in Albert Park, Shanghai, Bahrain, Sochi (2004 cars didn't race there) Monaco, Montreal, Baku (2004 cars didn't race there), Austria (wasn't in the 2004 calendar), Silverstone (Different layout), Hungaroring and Spa (I know the old layout was slightly different at the Bus Stop chicane)
That's because 2017 cars qualify with minimal fuel. The 2004-2005 cars qualified with fuel they had to start the race with. The track records during the race are the optimum measurement comparison for speed
FFS if they were to let teams have more freedom in their car designs then maybe they all wouldn't look like clones of each other in different livery. F1 is declining because there's no visual or sonic difference between the cars. Look at the prime years of F1 back when the line up of cars looked vastly different and different designs were always being put head to head. Watching retro races is more exciting when you can tell the cars apart just by the shape and sound.
F1 is declining because > no sound, dirty air. THATS why its declining. Lack of regs would make these issues worse. You clearly are NOT an F1 fan, most likely a troll
You forgot (possibly) the most important part of wider tires - while frictional force is strictly the coefficient of friction x the normal force, the coefficient of friction is actually not constant between the tires and the road, and decreases as pressure between the road and tires increases. Increasing the contact patch of the tire decreases the ground pressure, which keeps the coefficient of friction high. This is why, for example, if you doubled the normal force of a car using downforce, the frictional force would not increase by 100%, it might increase by say like 85%, depending on how heavily loaded the tires were to begin with.
Wtf? They make F1 PPV? That's just stupid, who watches PPV? Granted I'm poor (I've never ever seen a dishwashing machine operating, it's all by hand for me!) So maybe it's just me that never watches PPV.
for anyone wondering; n all of the English speaking world, the word tire when used as a verb means to become exhausted/sleepy. In Britain and many other Commonwealth nations, the word tyre is a noun, it's the word we use for the outer rubber part of a vehicle wheel. For example, a bicycle tyre, or a car tyre.
Real Engineering I know wasn't criticizing you - but the federation. There's an emphasis on marketable #s. Top speed. Avg speed. Fuel economy. HP/Volume. The only number they really need to push is whether there are three teams battling it out for top marks.
I have just one thing to correct: the N in F = μ × N is NOT the weight of the object, but the force that the ground exerts on the object (which is always perpendicular to the ground). In flat ground, N is indeed equal to the weight, BUT in ground with gradient (where the weight has horizontal and vertical components), it is not.
I think it would be like 10 secs a lap faster. I mean they could coverd wheels a bigger floor and ground effect. Also way more powerful engines with like 2000 hp. Idk if someone would even be able to drive such a car to its maximum.
95% of every person i talk to wishes bigger engines were back. V10 era was when it was most popular. It takes very basic knowledge to see that if you bring back v10, the crowd will follow. I don't like how fuel savings has taken a front seat in the f1 racing.
I think IndyCar's version of an aeroscreen will work out much better than the stupid Halo-by-committee the FIA thrust on us. Interesting to see how both the 2018 IndyCar and 2018 F1 car look to see who got that right
As far as I understand, the main reason for better grip on wider tire is that coefficient of friction is not a constant, but diminishes with load. And the load goes up massively at speed due to aerodynamic downforce. So with wider tires, you're spreading that load and get a better µ. Anyway the wider tires are mainly there for show. And they do look awesome! If all FIA had wanted was better grip from the tires, they could've just ask Pirelli to make less shitty compounds and allow for lower tire pressures. Front wings contribute a lot to downforce directly. They receive the cleanest air. And the main benefit about the Y-250 vortex is that it helps to seal the underfloor, so that with the absurd rake of these cars, it can act as a giant diffuser (hence F1 produces >60% of its downforce with the underfloor).
2:18 If you have no idea what you are talking about, then don't make it sound like it's for educational purpose. PLEASE, this is the most polite way I can say this...
I think you should become an expert in MotoGP and do a few videos about why some manufacturers use V4 engines while others use inline 4s. Also, there is an interesting physics problem, of counteracting the gyroscopic force of the spinning wheels with a counter rotating crankshaft, making the bike easier to turn. Also, a history of the piano would be epic. Let me know if you'd like research support. I would be happy to do it. I'm a huge fan.
I stopped watching because F1 became shit equivalent to "two cars of the same team dispute throughout the year, and the team decides who'll win" type of stuff some years ago. I guess I'll keep it that way.
Small factological correction: The friction force is a function of the FORCE that the car exerts on the surface. The FORCE comes from the weigth of the car integrated over the contact area. Hence - smaller area, larger friction. This is why trains are able to stop. P.S.: The channel is great, I enjoy seeing physics/engineering being popularised.
I genuinely have no interest in F1 as a sport, but this is one of the most interesting videos I have seen in a long time. Wonderful theme and excellent execution.
No passing...no parity.. boring as watching paint dry. 1 or 2 cars are faster than all others due to deeper pockets. Put Hamilton or his team mate in a Sauber and see how many races he wins. ZERO

Williams are a lot slower this year than they were last year (in relative terms, that is), but I'd argue that is due to them making unfortunate design decisions, not principally due to the rules changes. The same largely goes for Red Bull, though I wouldn't go and describe them as a midfield team. As for Force India, they in effect got closer to the big factory teams than they were last year, looking just at the car. In Nico Hülkenberg, they did lose one of F1's finest drivers, so it hasn't all been great for them, but just as far as the car is concerned, they are genuinely continuing on their transformation from a midfield team to a top team, and that is pretty impressive no matter which way you look at it.
Arif Ahmed competitive? Theres only 2 teams competing for the championship...
+AnimalzyNL - What about Baku? What about the sheer number of DNFs we've seen this year? On a perfect day, it will indeed be Mercedes and Ferrari sharing the spoils between them, but with cars becoming faster and more tricky tro drive, the chances of a Mercedes or Ferrari driver crashing out and handing a podium to a Red Bull or Force India increases, and that is where the increased excitement and competition comes from...
Arif Ahmed you think this season is "competitive " watch an Indycar, NASCAR, Or IMSA/WEC race. Equipment is everything in F1. In the other series equipment is still important, but not nearly as much, plus there's a lot more passing and hard racing, not 80 qualifyingish laps like F1
F1 losing popularity? Here's a few reasons why I think it is:
-Far too expensive for fans (Silverstone weekend was £600 tickets alone for 2 people)
-Boring sound, sound is a big factor in Motorsport, the uproar the V6 sound caused proved this.
-The Teams, most don't let the drivers race each other and would rather play it safe = boring spectacle
-Loss of free viewership in the U.K., maybe about 5 races are broadcast live in the U.K. Now, the rest you have to pay for.
-The Drivers, gone the way football has gone, paid far too much, most are up themselves, arrogant etc
-The tracks: taking away Nurburgring, poss silverstone etc for shitty ones just for that country to host them
same here in Italy, only 4/5 race on national tv in live.. the others races you can see in national tv but after 6 hours race finished..
matteo io We get it live here in germany. We cant watch practice 1 and 2 tho.
Here in Switzerland every race and qualifying is on free tv
Not all. Sahara(thanks to stupid Perez its gone), Mercedez(Rosberg's time), Red Bull are somes that let their driver drive to their hearts content. Although i agree with the V6 stupid sound, kinda miss the V8/V10 ;3
Not to mention stupid tracks!
overall i personally prefer F2 and NASCAR than this shit..
I don't know if GT3 and LMP races have gotten more popular, but I myself am watching those much more often as they are definitely more exciting now.

Well, Jolyon Palmer bombs on a near-weekly basis, so you've got one part of your wishlist already fulfilled... :p :p

It sounds like the kind of thing where I'd want to see a crash compilation then. But at least it would be more attention from me then I ever have had for racing before.

Those appear to be contours of Total Pressure instead of Static Pressure? Small change in terminology, but pretty significant change in interpretation. Typically the static pressure under the floor is significantly lower than that in the diffuser body, quite the opposite to what the total pressure shows (largely resulting from the ingestion of the tyre wake jet, as well as vortices forming on the outer diffuser fences and inner strakes). Ironically, areas of low total pressure are showing you places where globally applying Bernoulli's principle doesn't hold true due to the presence of vortices. Just something to consider for next time.
True hero here. I love your videos man.
Cheers, thanks for the compliments! Glad you're enjoying them!
Yeah, also the entire friction coefficient/area part was completely wrong, normal load sensitivity is a big part of going for a wider tyre
love your vid's too ;)
From my understanding, tyre load sensitivity is pretty much a fancy word for tyre wear. A narrow tyre has more pressure on it and the tyre under goes greater deformation through that increased load, which leads to plastic deformation and ultimately the tyre degrades. Engineering Explained has a good video on the topic.
Gets recommended in 2020 when Hamilton destroyed the the lap record at Spa by 4 tenths
The Monaco lap time graph is fascinating to look at. There are clear steps in the history showing introduction of new rules and the overcoming of these handicaps and then new rules - a drop and then steady increase etc.
Notable dates; Ground effect illegal '83, Turbos banned '89, Electronic driver aids banned '94, width reduction and grooved tyres '98 etc. (Good Wiki page).

2020: HOLD MY MERCEDES!!!
2019 : Hold My Dirty Air
Great video! What effect does the shark-fin have on cornering? Also, is there an aerodynamic advantage to the Ferrari's massive air intakes, which look incredible btw. Would love to see more F1 content on the channel, keep it up!
Aparently the sharkfins help the grip most of the time as it keeps the air under control but on the other hand it makes oversear much more risky as the fin stalls the wing meaning there is virtually no grip from it
The fin helps a lot with lateral stability, but it also effectively acts as an airfoil the moment the car starts turning into its own oncoming air, because the side facing the outside of the corner will be blasted with oncoming air while the side facing the apex will have some of its oncoming air blocked by the sharkfin (and air intake), so it creates a high-pressure area on the outside of the sharkfin, and a low-pressure area on the inside, effectively sucking the car into the corner. It's not a huge effect, but it still makes enough of a difference that even those teams who didn't have a sharkfin on their car in pre-season have since started using one.
The ferrari sidepods allows the team to move the mandatory crash structure rearwards effectively increasing the bargeboard area. This allows this incoming clean air more area to work before going to the rear of the car.
The shark fin helps the wind to fall right to the rear wing since the rear wing is lower this year.
A O There is abit more crashes in nascar due to the rules stating that you can touch another car abit but not too much where the touch affects the car. Usually the crashes are the same in nascar where they spin off track and go backwards into the barrier. F1 too has it but the crashes are more deadlier because of the open cockpit and less material used than nascar. But go watch some demolition derby races and youll have a good time!
Dude I can´t believe videos like these are free to watch. The ammont of knowledge shared in the video, with the ammount of tools such as the simulations to make it easier to understand, are something that I cannot recall from other places. Great job.
F1 has lost a lot of fans due to all the strict regulations making it both boring to watch and not allowing teams to innovate. These new regulations will be interesting, but trades old regulations with new ones.
The best racing comes from styles that allow manufacturers and teams to innovate more, such as rally cars. There, so long as the roll cage and car ensures safety, teams can experiment and do quite a bit to make the rally exciting.
Dead Baron I wish racing championships would realize that. They are all too heavy on restrictions
But, contrary with your thought, if they let the rule virtually nothing, the technology will go so crazy, the underdog team can't innovate due to less money, and big team will rule them all unstopable due to robust of money they invested.
Don't let the old-building bias drive you, we already in 21 century. The car won't be like 80's again. You can build AI assisted driving if the rule is less restricted.
Exactly. It's boring

A small detail about the rear diffuser: The air exiting the diffuser does not speed up, it slows down. The air was already accelerated as it went underneath the venturi, which is what creates most of the downforce. The diffuser is intended to slow the air back down to close to nominal velocity so it can create an updraft and contribute to the flow under the rear wing. The main takeaway here is that the diffuser does not directly create downforce. The venturi does. All the diffuser does is reintroduce underbody air to the flow around the car, but a properly designed diffuser definitely assists the rear wing in creating more downforce.
A better sounding engine is probably the most effective way to attract more fans 😂
Nice job with the production of this wonderful video. I saw my first F1 race in 1967 and my last in 1981. The 67 race was in Canada and the Cosworth V8 had just been introduced in the Lotus with Jim Clark and Graham Hill driving. I don't know if the 2017 changes will bring life back into the series, it seems NASCAR and others are having the same "problem". There are only so many things for people to do with their spare time and money, and this was inevitable. I sometimes think F1 should be 1.5 liters and manual gearboxes and skinny tires, to allow the "best" driver to win, but I really have my doubts that F1 will ever thrive as it has in the past. Something about seeing Innes Ireland in the winners circle smoking a cigarette. I don't know if modern drivers would have the balls to step into one of the old cars.
I am afraid you have to redo the tire part.. the increase in grip with wider tires is a result of Viscoelasticity and Tire Load Sensitivity.
thank God ! I was looking for some1 who knew that the tire part is wrong..! FSAE team member here..! ;)
That’s pretty ridiculous he got that wrong! And just made some weird statement with the most basic friction equation and tire conservation, disappointing.
Also, the picture of the tire post-race is misleading, as many drivers will drive on the marbles off the racing line on the cooldown lap to pick up debris that could help add mass for the mandatory weigh-in (fearing that they may come in under the minimum weight limit)
This vid showed me why i started to watch F1 15 years ago. Many thanks, because I forgot that in this season, and I didn't watch the last 3 races.

love your videos mate. This makes me an F1 fan, so much cool engineering going on!
Love your videos man, but your explanation of the diffuser got jumbled up here. "By having a larger opening, the air exiting is forced to expand and accelerate to fill the space. This causes the air pressure to drop even further due to Bernoulli's..." This is simply incorrect, but giving you the benefit of the doubt, I assume you described the expanding exit part of the diffuser and added in the overall function of the diffuser (to accelerate air and lower pressure).
Yes, the diffuser is used to lower the pressure below the car and create downforce at the suction peak (the location where the cross-sectional area of the duct is smallest). As you correctly said, an increase in velocity corresponds to a decrease in pressure (i.e. suction) according to Bernoulli's principle. Thus, an inlet "captures" a lot of incoming air, contracts to increase the velocity of the air, giving suction before the diffuser expands and DECELERATES the air back to the relative velocity of the surrounding air. This effectively increases downforce (suction before diffuser + redirecting the airflow coming out of the expanding duct upwards) and reduces drag (decreasing apparent cross/sectional area of the vehicle to the incoming wind, letting air pass "through" the car). It also enables proper pressure recovery, which reduces flow separation and subsequent turbulence. Let's assume density constant here, considering we're (mostly) below Mach 0.3.
Please let me know if I missed something, I am by no means a F1 expert, just an Aeronautical M.Eng (starting Y3 in Oct.) student like yourself. Again, I really enjoy your videos and appreciate all the effort behind them! Keep at it lad :D
Wow i needed this. It answers my questions, how did they manage to make such an improvement in one year. THANK YOU!
idk what the hell most of you is on about. F1 is much more exciting this year and theres a lot more people appreciating the recent rise of F1 online content and engagement. This year's cars are also the quickest ever made (im not using the word fastest here). And ppl saying theyre just going around in circles?? wtf? I'll definitely miss Sepang on the calendar tho.
They not racing in Sepang anymore?
Real Engineering this year is its last one. then no more f1. at least motoGP would still continue i guess.
To be honest, I won't miss Sepang so much. It's not a bad track, but it's just rather generic, having neither the flow of classically designed circuits like Suzuka or Silverstone, nor the sheer speed of ancient dedicated circuits like Monza or Spa-Francorchamps nor the confines of tight street circuits like Monte Carlo or Marina Bay.
Robert Faber true, but its strength comes from its unpredictability to be extremely wet to very dry and hot to cold. adding so much more excitement during the race especially concerning team strategies and driver skills.
Lol the one that going around circles are the Indy car and NASCAR since they race on an oval track most of the time.
You have one of the best engineering channels ive seen! keep it up. this vid made me want to get back into F1
F1 2019: hold my bardgeboards
Hmmm interesting. I did some research and it seems it's true that the contact patch area of the tyres mainly increase the grip/traction because it enables the use of a softer tyre compound (that doesn't wear off because of the large contact patch area makes less force/wear per cm^2). However life is more complex than simple physics. The most obvious point is that tyre rubber is adhesive (sticky), so if you double the area you double the amount of adhesion. Both these reasons (and probably more) is why f.ex. dragsters have such low tyre pressures to achieve immense grip (in a straight line. They probably turn really bad at high speeds).
So does this mean that wider tyres always mean more grip? Mjaaa... A wider tyre doesn't mean a larger contact area if the air pressure inside stays the same, because in that case a wider contact patch also leads to a thinner contact patch. In that case each tyre has more width to spread out the weight of the car over, meaning that they are under less stress, leading to less flexing of the rubber, hence a thinner "flat spot"/contact patch against the ground. What leads to increased grip is the use of a softer tyre compound that doesn't wear off because the heat and wear is spread out better over the larger total tyre surface of a wider tyre. My guess is that for this reason a bigger diameter tyre should also contribute to less wear and heat in the tyre, but it probably has a small effect. As in the dragster example a softer tyre compound can also be enabled because of less air pressure in the tyres, creating a bigger contact patch area which produces less wear (not more friction) and also more adhesion/stickyness.
Please someone, correct me if I'm wrong. I'm by no means an expert in this. I'm just very F1 interested and made some quick research now on this particular subject and put 1 and 1 together :)

Great to hear. I used the software in my old engineering job to do some analysis on high voltage cables short circuiting and impacting their cable ladder. It really impressed the execs in the company when they found out the software was free.
I don't think these changes negatively affected the thrill of f1 at all, if anything they made it better. Faster grippier cars means any small mistake will cost more time which helps overtaking. We've even seen a double overtake in Baku this year.
If they removed most of the rules in F1 it would get much more interesting. And also the abilty to watch it live online for a cheap amount, say €5 per race, with no ads. And I'm not talking about allowing guns on the cars, I'm talking about letting the teams decide what engine they want, what fuel they want, basically everything except a few things to make it more fair. I wouldn't mind seeing diesels, electric and other types of F1 cars. Maybe even AWD or non turbo cars. Just more variety.

I like your accent!
A higher contact patch does actually increase grip when using identical tyres, even though the friction formula does not show this. This is due to the properties of the rubber itself, having a higher coefficient of friction when under less pressure.
This is not a major effect in comparison to the friction formula, but is significant
W11:allow us to introduce ourselves.
Contact Patch area is only dependent on Weight.
You could revise by saying the contact patch width has increased, and wider tires allow for better contact patch cooling, which allows for more grip over time.

Excellent. By the way, diffuser gives a "pushing force" to the car rather than giving traction.
While the aerodynamic changes in the 2017 F1 cars do increase speed and downforce the biggest problem that continues to hinder F1 is the fact that the old rats who run it continue to add ridiculous regulations, essentially taking all innovation out of the sport. Nowadays the engines are turbocharged V-6s that have a maximum allowed displacement of 1.6L and a rev limiter which is only allowed to reach 15,000rpm, in doing so most of the engines barely break 800hp even with a pair of massive turbochargers. Just a little over 10yrs ago many F1 cars used naturally aspirated V-10s or V-12s that could reach over 19,000rpms and put out over 950hp with ease, most of which weren't even over 4L. Imagine what we could do with today's technology if we removed most of the ridiculous regulations and focused on innovation, instead of V-6s or electric drivetrains we could have twin turbocharged V-12s or V-10s revving to 25,000rpms and pushing out over 1500hp. It would be a glorious sight to see and it would be a major win for racing, not to mention every major car enthusiast in the world.
DaBomb from Guam if the engine regulations were free they would probably still Build v6 or v4 engines. Look at lmp1. The sound is not as good but it doesn’t suck either.
Actually those turbocharged v-6s are making around 1000hp
vortices have low pressure inside, but things don't get sucked toward them, their spin balances that. if anything the fluid that is no longer inside, as they form, has to go outward.
The title is wrong. List the tracks where the 2017 cars beat the 2004 lap records... I'll be waiting. This is a list of tracks where the 2004/2005 cars still hold the lap records where the exact same circuits are used in 2004 and 2017: Australia/Melbourne, Bahrain, Monaco (slow, downforce track!), Nurburgring F1 track, Canada/Montreal, Germany/Hockenheimring 2002-present, Hungary/Hungaroring (another slower, downforce track!), Belgium/Spa had a very minor change in 2007 but Raikkonen set a 1min 45.1sec in 2004, Italy/Monza, China/Shanghai........ Silverstone/Britain was changed in 2009, otherwise 2004 would hold that too. This is all as of 6th September 2017. We still have Interlagos/Brazil and Suzuka/Japan to come... The 2004 cars are still outright FASTER than 2017 cars. Maybe next year we will see faster cars.
Jenna Gilkes but that is mainly because refuelling is banned. Compare qualifying laps, and you'll see how the 2017 cars have posted new track records in Albert Park, Shanghai, Bahrain, Sochi (2004 cars didn't race there) Monaco, Montreal, Baku (2004 cars didn't race there), Austria (wasn't in the 2004 calendar), Silverstone (Different layout), Hungaroring and Spa (I know the old layout was slightly different at the Bus Stop chicane)
That's because 2017 cars qualify with minimal fuel. The 2004-2005 cars qualified with fuel they had to start the race with. The track records during the race are the optimum measurement comparison for speed
What year was the fastest lap in F1 history set?

FFS if they were to let teams have more freedom in their car designs then maybe they all wouldn't look like clones of each other in different livery. F1 is declining because there's no visual or sonic difference between the cars. Look at the prime years of F1 back when the line up of cars looked vastly different and different designs were always being put head to head. Watching retro races is more exciting when you can tell the cars apart just by the shape and sound.
F1 is declining because > no sound, dirty air. THATS why its declining. Lack of regs would make these issues worse. You clearly are NOT an F1 fan, most likely a troll
You forgot (possibly) the most important part of wider tires - while frictional force is strictly the coefficient of friction x the normal force, the coefficient of friction is actually not constant between the tires and the road, and decreases as pressure between the road and tires increases. Increasing the contact patch of the tire decreases the ground pressure, which keeps the coefficient of friction high.
This is why, for example, if you doubled the normal force of a car using downforce, the frictional force would not increase by 100%, it might increase by say like 85%, depending on how heavily loaded the tires were to begin with.
I stopped watching F1 when it was put on paid tv. I can tolerate ads but not 30eur/month fee for two races (at that time).

for anyone wondering;
n all of the English speaking world, the word tire when used as a verb means to become exhausted/sleepy. In Britain and many other Commonwealth nations, the word tyre is a noun, it's the word we use for the outer rubber part of a vehicle wheel. For example, a bicycle tyre, or a car tyre.
Sigh. Higher avg or top speed != To better racing or fan experience.

I touch on this at the end. Sacrificed overtaking for speed.
Real Engineering I know wasn't criticizing you - but the federation. There's an emphasis on marketable #s.
Top speed. Avg speed. Fuel economy. HP/Volume.
The only number they really need to push is whether there are three teams battling it out for top marks.
But at the other side: If only exciting racing would matter, then everyone would watch 125cc motorbike racing or karting instead of F1.
“Formula 1 has been declining in popularity”
Netflix: hold my beer.
I'm glad to see Formula 1 going back to what made it so popular, best engineered car wins.
I have just one thing to correct: the N in F = μ × N is NOT the weight of the object, but the force that the ground exerts on the object (which is always perpendicular to the ground). In flat ground, N is indeed equal to the weight, BUT in ground with gradient (where the weight has horizontal and vertical components), it is not.
Can you talk about how F1 would be if there were no regulations and how fast it could be
Mercedes and Ferrari domination
I think it would be like 10 secs a lap faster. I mean they could coverd wheels a bigger floor and ground effect. Also way more powerful engines with like 2000 hp. Idk if someone would even be able to drive such a car to its maximum.

@@pedrolacerda8528 o cara nem sobrenome de brasileiro tem hauhauha tu ta doido
As far as I understand, the main reason for better grip on wider tire is that coefficient of friction is not a constant, but diminishes with load. And the load goes up massively at speed due to aerodynamic downforce. So with wider tires, you're spreading that load and get a better µ.
Anyway the wider tires are mainly there for show. And they do look awesome! If all FIA had wanted was better grip from the tires, they could've just ask Pirelli to make less shitty compounds and allow for lower tire pressures.
Front wings contribute a lot to downforce directly. They receive the cleanest air. And the main benefit about the Y-250 vortex is that it helps to seal the underfloor, so that with the absurd rake of these cars, it can act as a giant diffuser (hence F1 produces >60% of its downforce with the underfloor).

Wider tires are less sensitive to weight transfer, too, which is also greatly responsible for the additional traction.
F1 2017 wanted to stop the popularity decline of the sport, nice very nice I like that..... F1 2018 brings in the halo... Ok here I come indycar
I stopped watching because F1 became shit equivalent to "two cars of the same team dispute throughout the year, and the team decides who'll win" type of stuff some years ago. I guess I'll keep it that way.
Small factological correction:
The friction force is a function of the FORCE that the car exerts on the surface. The FORCE comes from the weigth of the car integrated over the contact area. Hence - smaller area, larger friction. This is why trains are able to stop.
P.S.: The channel is great, I enjoy seeing physics/engineering being popularised.
F1 is gonna drop more in popularity after the Halo.
Jack Waters damn 30 sec late
I genuinely have no interest in F1 as a sport, but this is one of the most interesting videos I have seen in a long time. Wonderful theme and excellent execution.
cer
Just found this channel and i fucking love this, pure gold. Keep doing that, amazing work.
No passing...no parity.. boring as watching paint dry. 1 or 2 cars are faster than all others due to deeper pockets.
Put Hamilton or his team mate in a Sauber and see how many races he wins. ZERO
Buff Barnaby obviously. Sauber is a shit car. Ferrari make way more money than any other f1 team who is then followed by red bull then merc and merc don’t even make that much more than McLaren and Williams thanks to their vintage paycheks
Great video mate, I love F1 and the new season and the new cars 😂
