It's funny to me how being able to keep both hands on the wheel was not the impetus for paddle shifters but it was just about aerodynamics. That's just so Formula 1.
They now use the handbrake to get around the hairpin....oh hang on, that`s rallying. I`ve driven track-laying vehicles, they work on independent braking.
Yeah but the introduction of Brake-bias means neither the FIA will unban it, nor will the teams accept it. I know it is entertaining to watch, but a little bit outdated compared to present day technology.
@@kamleshsisodiya It wouldn't be outdated. Just because the driver can set the brake bias perfectly for a turn in advance doesn't mean they execute the turn perfectly. Many times they'd want to use the dual pedal brake to shift the weight of the car to make up for a mistake, or to slowly increase the proportion of brakes to the front as speed decreases, etc.
The F1 Cara of today minimise driver input almost to the point of being a passenger. The electronic aids are astonishing, but take all the fun out of spectating. The F1 of the 1990s was the most exciting racing I've ever seen in F1, when drivers had NOTHING except a steering wheel, a racing harness, a gearstick and three pedals. Drivers DROVE in the 90s!
Motorcycles have kill switches aswell. And I have actually tried having the throttle stuck open by something as simple as the cable snapping and getting jammed in the cable jacket
Mika Häkkinen once drove a 1930s Mercedes Grand Prix racing car; he then asked a veteran who drove it in that period (I don't remember the name, we are talking about Rosemeyer, Caracciola and their contemporaries) if they were allowed the last shot and cigarette before driving them. He was answered the last shot maybe, the last cig' no, unless you were at least 20 mts. away from the starting grid because anywhere closer, and everything would have exploded...
growlingbehemoth pretty much every system which could conceivably get out of hand will have a kill switch. Plumbing, electrical, production lines, computers programmes. You name if you can lose control of it, there will be a kill switch. Is a home unsafe because it has circuit breakers? Is it unsafe if it can be disconnected from the water mains? No. It just means if an appliance shorts, or a pipe is broken, there is a way to stop it before a catastrophe. Similarly, these cars are very complex and have multiple failsafes. You can always pull the clutch and brake, but what if you’ve lost your clutch. That’s alright you can just shift put it in neutral, nope, something is very wrong. Well nothing beats a kill switch. Incorruptible, easy to engineer to be robust and reliable. Simple, effective, safety. Having a kill switch is not an indication that something is unsafe or dangerous. It would be much more concerning if it didn’t have one.
The big problem is thinking to use the kill-switch in time to save yourself! A stuck throttle is a shocking, unexpected thing most of the time. And, just one second can be an ETERNITY, in an emergency situation.
lets all start protesting on mass. take masks off on mass we are many they are few, time to grow some balls! we can change this place in a heart beat if we all. teamed up as one! why are we waiting its getting aggrevating!

I was watching the F1 back catalog from 1981 recently, and Murray Walker was almost gleeful in pointing out how at the end of a race, the Renaults sat quite noticeably higher than during the race, and Renault had apparently told him about the lever in the cockpit that did this, and the fact that it helped them get around the regulations. It was an obvious cheat, and they were also obviously proud of it, and not at all trying to hide it.
The reason for a the Ferrari 640’s reliability issues was down to the fundamental design of the engine. The engineers decided to use five main bearings for the crank, rather than six. This left the v12 with an incurable harmonic vibration that would shake the drive belt off the alternator, and hence losing power to the electrics, and therefore the electronic gearbox wouldn’t select gears!
@@ma61king could be because when they’re driven off the gearbox the alternator doesn’t run when the car is stationary. Also packaging, weight distribution and aerodynamics would be a consideration. John Barnard designed the 640 so that the air passing through the radiator would exit at the rear past the gearbox, because exiting the air sooner disrupts the air flow to the rear wing.
"Gentlemen, a short view back to the past. Thirty years ago, Niki Lauda told us: "Take a trained monkey, place him into the cockpit and he is able to drive the car." Thirty years later Sebastian told us: "I had to start my car like a computer. It's very complicated." And Nico Rosbeg said, err, he pressed during the race, I don't remember what race, the wrong button on the wheel. Question for you to both. Is formula 1 driving today too complicated with 20 and more buttons on the wheel, are you too much under effort, under pressure? What are your wishes for the future, concerning technical program, errrm, during the race? Less buttons, more? Or less and more comunication with your engineers." Edit: IT'S A QUOTE. SEARCH FOR IT.
Awesome presentation! A modern Fi car offers much more safety and performance, but at the expense of added complexity. I remember Lewis complaining about resetting his electronics while trying to race.

I know your trying to make a joke, but besides the parts like the engine, suspension and other minor bits that they can buy, their cars are 100% bespoke. It's kind of insulting to call any of the F1 cars on the grid anything but a bespoke piece of art.

Great job with loads of information. Just missed the HANS. Which has also largely contributed to the safety of the drivers.

I have watched a few F1 races in the past but the lack of other sports this year had me looking forward to this season. Tough to view live as American but I have now recorded and watched every qualifying and race, I can't believe I waited so long to jump into this amazing sport.

It's only a matter of time before Adrian Newey puts a voice assistant on his new car design because knobs and switches intrude on his aero concept. "Arbie, chassis default five two!"
Would be cool but it's mighty challenging even by Formula1 standards. Mission critical voice control still has ways to go and the engine is too noisy for a normal mic. Maybe using bone conduction mics could be a solution. The future is certainly exciting!

Great video, the only thing you have missed is perhaps some footage from the first times Schumacher started adjusting the manual brake bias leverage twice a lap during qualification laps...
Brilliant video. Mid 80s to mid 90s by far the best era. Technology meets driver skill. Nowadays it's to anesthetic with technology doing the work and the driver having to twiddle a knob and punch a button.

your content is amazing!!!! It even inspired me to make a video comparison in iRacing between Senna's throttle stabbing technique vs smooth throttle application which surprise surprise garnered views beyond I would think possible
Very interesting. Also it is important to note that as of the past years, the steering complex is customized for each driver within a team, and every aspect may be different for each of the two drivers, beginning with the shape and structure of the "wheel" itself, formed exactly for a driver's hands, and arms, and the layout of buttons and switches may vary significantly from driver to driver. So, Hamilton's wheel is very different from Bottas' wheel.
I can’t even imagine the balls it took to run those 50’s era cars flat out through Raidillon. Half the drivers body sticking up above the car, head covered in a beanie, wearing basically street clothes. Big respect for bravery, not so much for intellect, lol.
Back in the days of steam gauges, driver's would rotate gauges like oil pressure, oil temperature, coolant temperature so that when they were "in the green", they pointed straight up. That way it was easy to spot something that wasn't right like too hot, low pressure, etc.
Ya gotta be a freaking engineer on top of being the driver, mad respect for these guys. I’m an American who started watching Drive to Survive when it first came out, now I’m obsessed with this sport, I can’t believe how much I’ve been sucked in, haven’t missed a race or a quali since 2018.

Great video! PS: FW14 already had shift lights and it only ran to 14400rpm. And great addition at 10:55s! PS: first ever car with a clutch paddle was MP4/9 (1994). Brilliant video tho...
All these efforts to improve safety also affected the drivers' mentality on track. They're taking way more risks than they did in the past. It's great to watch, but the sense of danger is, in my opinion, largely underestimated in today's F1 in particular.
Great video but Smal critique: it would’ve been nice if you added something about the screens you can see on steering wheels now and why williams have their screen pff the wheel
Márton Ovád I have not driven a real F1 car, but I do regularly use the screen in sims to check settings like brake balance and engine breaking/regeneration throw twisty sections of a track, the wheel is almost never steady on a track like Monaco.

I like your videos. Straight to the point. All business.
Love you’re videos. Keep it up.
Very interesting. Also it is important to note that as of the past years, the steering complex is customized for each driver within a team, and every aspect may be different for each of the two drivers, beginning with the shape and structure of the "wheel" itself, formed exactly for a driver's hands, and arms, and the layout of buttons and switches may vary significantly from driver to driver. So, Hamilton's wheel is very different from Bottas' wheel.
13:43 that is a screaming engine
I remember when I first started watching formula 1 in the early 2000s I was so intrigued by the cockpit and amazed by all the buttons and knobs
Superinteressting. Thank you for posting!
I can’t even imagine the balls it took to run those 50’s era cars flat out through Raidillon. Half the drivers body sticking up above the car, head covered in a beanie, wearing basically street clothes. Big respect for bravery, not so much for intellect, lol.
It's a really great video. Thanks, I enjoyed it a lot. It was nicely placed and very informative.
Back in the days of steam gauges, driver's would rotate gauges like oil pressure, oil temperature, coolant temperature so that when they were "in the green", they pointed straight up. That way it was easy to spot something that wasn't right like too hot, low pressure, etc.
Wow, fantastic educational journey through the evolution of F1.
Ya gotta be a freaking engineer on top of being the driver, mad respect for these guys. I’m an American who started watching Drive to Survive when it first came out, now I’m obsessed with this sport, I can’t believe how much I’ve been sucked in, haven’t missed a race or a quali since 2018.
Love your work keep it up!
fantastic video mate!
Great piece on F1 cockpit, just shared that with a friend who has just got into GP racing via drive to survive. Cheers Jim
Well done my man, another Awesome Vid!!
You should check out the cockpits of a Dirt Sprint Car here in the 🇺🇲🇺🇲
We still sit upright on top of the diff with the torque tube going between my feet connected to the Crankshaft directly in front of me on the other side of the 1/4 magnesium torque plate!! Def still old school with only 2 gauges, wheel and a in & out box.. 🏁🇺🇲🇺🇲🏁👍
Keep,these up I honestly cant wait for the next one ! Maybe tracks?
Lovely video, thanks for such a nicely put together video.
Thanks for your explanation of the evaluation of the F1 cars …, was very interesting!!🙏,-1 2,3, 4 and so on!
Modern day F1 driver sitting in an old F1 car: „Holy crap, this is dangerous as frick! Can I get a seatbelt at least? Guys?!“
Old-timey driver in modern F1 car: „Holy crap, I can hardly get in this thing without a tub of vaseline! What are all these fiddly gizmos? Give me a proper steering wheel at least! Also, this car is trying to murder me - it nearly snapped my neck in the corner - this is absolutely insane and dangerous as frick!“
😅😉
Nick Zan So you prefer drivers dying?
There is a shaft between many peoples legs just not metal and spinning
“apart from the obvious.”
I don't get the joke. Mine is hard and it's doing the helicopter. See you later cheesebags.
@@twandepan I would be proud if it was but it isn't
Yes, that why the Russian F1 driver Ivor Bollokov, had to retire after a prop let go.
@@lostalone9320 I know this was meant to be a joke but it is just wierd
Well done mate! This was such a good insight, you’re the man
I think the Halo, HANS, are some of best things to come along. Driver safety is the most valuable advancement!
That was truly, truly good, soo informative, so wait it was so much better than good, it was awesome for me, thanks it answered a lot of questions i had about my favorite sport.
And Pop's racer gets no credit for the ground breaking steering wheel he designed for the Mach5
Thanks for watching!

I tried watching the live stream yesterday, but it said they took it down for copyright or something.
What happened Scott? I was bummed out, but I know it was probably something that couldn't be helped.
@@toytacambery9427 UA-cam closed it down for some reason! It was a shame because I was talking throughout the whole race (I won too!) anyway, we'll try again in the future.
Mercedes revealed the little alien living in the car at 13:44. Those beady little eyes startled me at first. But Mercedes success is all making sense now.
Great video! PS: FW14 already had shift lights and it only ran to 14400rpm. And great addition at 10:55s! PS: first ever car with a clutch paddle was MP4/9 (1994). Brilliant video tho...
Always a wonderful lesson of Race history. Thank you
5:32 damn its scary how pretty that is
Great video, very well done!
Top video mate!!
Great video, a lot of insight through time.
All these efforts to improve safety also affected the drivers' mentality on track. They're taking way more risks than they did in the past. It's great to watch, but the sense of danger is, in my opinion, largely underestimated in today's F1 in particular.
Great video but Smal critique: it would’ve been nice if you added something about the screens you can see on steering wheels now and why williams have their screen pff the wheel
I thought that was cause Williams was broke and couldn't afford that at the moment?
Pretty sure it's because it's cheaper to make it that way.
A screen that stays in place is imho superior to one that follows the wheel.
The concept is that it makes the wheel lighter and therefore easier to manipulate. Red bull used to use a similar setup in the v8 era
Márton Ovád I have not driven a real F1 car, but I do regularly use the screen in sims to check settings like brake balance and engine breaking/regeneration throw twisty sections of a track, the wheel is almost never steady on a track like Monaco.
Loved this man! Loved it.
Wow thats amazing, I had no Idea f1 has come such a long way, I had never even seen the ones with halos on them lol, very interesting, thanks for sharing!😎👍🏻
Wow you are pretty new. Just to get you more into it, I would recommend watching some older races as they are quite a lot more interesting than nowadays. Try the 2010 season, the cars were beautiful and at the final race, 4 drivers could have won the championship :)
Very cool video .
Very interesting. Kept me watching the whole time. I even just subscribed. Keep up the good work!
