- Richard Hammond reveals the surprising engineering connections behind the Formula 1 car. The stars of the most glamorous, and expensive sport on earth wouldn't even cross the starting line without inspiration drawn from a revolutionary 19th-century cannon, ancient sailing boats, jet engine fan blades, body armour and a technique practised by blacksmiths for thousands of years.

Thanks to my childhood hero Richard Hammond and a few others I am in engineering now.
Well done, I’m not an engineer I’m terrible at math I’ve always been very interested in it tho. Good luck.
Weigner Leigner I mean you need something like cal 3, so it’s not too bad,
Good for you man
Goood
Good Job. That's how you should be inspired by your heroes.
Genuinely love the amount of depth he goes into and shows us the real world problems that engineers experience. The kinds of stuff you won't find in the uni textbook

@@alunesh12345 no thank you and stop preaching to people. Is that ok? Until I seen any evidence god exists I’ll just stick to believing in what I see with my own eyes.
@@alunesh12345 lol you should take more plies
Uni textbook only talks about the base principle. These kinds of advanced engineering requires critical thinking beyond textbook.
However, there are good science and engineering textbooks that show you examples with real and practical situations, in fact when I have to take a new course I try to choose the option that most offers those characteristics, obviously they'll never be like one of these episodes in this kind of series, but it's a start. Then you can complement what you learn in the uni textbook with content like this or real life experiences.
"Some say he has a massive chin, and he does. All we know is it's David Coulthard"
...and a jaw so wide & strong he can buldoze opponents outta his way.
The Vauxhall with the huge spoilers is like a chav's dream come true.
The Halfords Car Park special :D
Just slap on some monster and adidas stickers and it'd be perfect
I couldn't believe they let that in the wind tunnel. Costs the same either way I s'pose.
Vauxhall Pikes Peak edition
Add a couple of pink fury dice from the interior mirror, and every chav in Essex would have a hard-on.
I am studying Mechanical Engineering from a respectable University and I can confirm that I learnt more from this 50 min video than what I learn from a 50 min lecture.
maybe if you where paying attention during the lecture ;)
@@OnionChoppingNinja its called active learning. different person learnt different style
I am studying civil engineering in a respectable university and i have to watch this 50 min video for my 50 min class
I just gotta say thank you Mr. Hammond for all the entertainment you have provided. Your a treasure Sir.
Hammond carries that 1970's hairdo with both elegance and confidence.
Dog'tagnan XD

Well, maybe just with confidence ;-)
2020: Williams engineers are looking at this.
😂😂😭
Richard Hammond spotted at Williams R&D Center
Lol!
savage!!!
it can be a viral meme 😂😂😂
I'm happy to see Richard, Jeremy and James are doing much more than top gear or the grand tour they are filming now. These guys are very well versed and have a great sense of humor but all that truly shines when they are all together. If they teamed up to film a series about dust busters or something else(like a series about the writings of Shakespeare) I would absolutely watch it lol

@@alunesh12345 you crazy
8 second pit stop for Red Bull then and 1.82 seconds now
They don't refuel anymore.
@@r3dd3v1lL they did not refuel in the video
Well not needing to refuel is a big part of that lol
Really confused about why that pitstop took longer than about four seconds considering they didn’t refuel.
@@thibaumangelschots9677 they probably had to do it since it's not a pit stop practice or the msdia told to so the viewers can see it "nore clear"
20:20 finally a person hammond looks down on
ahahaha best comment
Remember Brian from TG Series 13 (Car Auction and Mjorca Race), Richard did look down upon him...
@@salmanazam9444 😂 He made the most funny remarks that could be taken sarcastically in regards to the chap's length, and he tried so hard to be political correct about it.
@@Firemarioflower 🤣 Ikr...
"SHORT-shifted"
"Jeremy's car is rubbish because its a MIDGET..."
Lol I saw his little smirk and instantly went to the comments to see if anyone noticed.
"and the only punctures they have to worry about are in the tyres"
*[grosjean has entered the chat]*
i'm a simple man, i see richard hammond, i click
Gay
I think he is pretending to be dumb
Really, because I see Hammond and click off.
@@fire398017 well, u have already clicked the video havent you ?
Manufactured comment to gain likes
Got me me tearing up 4 years after this tribute. Excellent job by Jeremy and the Top Gear crew...
How have I never heard of this series before...?! 😯 This is genuinely amazing 😘
Would be nice to see Hammond's take on the modern F1 hybrid propulsion mosters.
To hear him explain the heat machine and the kinetic machine (mpu-k).
Or maybe to hear him explain all the machinations going on about the 2021 rules for F1.
He is an amazing science communicator.
Gert Adam 😂😂😂 too true

@@alunesh12345 pis off, religitard
The outcome of the Winkelhock crash is one of racing history's sheer wonders.
Correction. When an internal combustion engine is cold, the pistons have a SMALLER diameter compared to a warmed engine. The risk isn’t a too tight piston, the risk is the piston may wobble in the cylinder and cause damage. Also a piston is “cam ground” meaning the part of the piston with more material “wrist pin” is smaller diameter than the other parts of the piston. This way when the engine is warmed, the piston is as close to a perfect circle as possible.
thats what you'd think, but in fact the video is correct, it just doesnt explain fully why. you are correct that materials expand when heated, but because the piston and the engine block are different materials, they have different thermal expansion properties. so when cold, the engine block could shrink *more* than the piston, meaning a too tight fit. the engine is designed to run at a certain running temperature, so its only at this temperature that the piston and block have a snug fit. Hope this explains this!
Summary:
1. High-efficiency engines are made from very high-precision mechanical engineering feats, creating pistons and cylinders that fit very tightly. This gives the car a whopping speed of 360 KPH only with a 2.4 engine!
2. Aerodynamics are the most important part of the car engineering. Increasing the car's weight by increasing the downward force on it around corners helps pinning it down. Else it would take off. This is achieved using the flaps of the car. On the other hand, flaps create a problem too: flaps increase the weight and slow the speeds on straight tracks. For this, flaps can be opened / closed from within the car by the driver.
3. For creating the fuel tank, they use Kevlar. Kevlar is a very strong material. It is at least 5 times stronger than steel. It is flexible and strong at the same time without being hard and stiff.. It is used in bulletproof vests too. Now, the tank can endure such strong forces and is pierceproof too.
4. Carbon fiber is used to create the body of the car. It is 3 times stronger than steel and very very very light-weight at the same time.
It is really amazing too see a multi-million dollor piece of tech just flying around the race track.
Man, Richard, Jeremy, and James are the best at everything.
There are a lot more documentaries in this series. Please upload more of them.
I just love Engineering connections.
Very nicely done. Very practical demos of technical concepts behind F1 cars.
Presenting is a serious talent and Hammond is immensely talented
Connections, with James Burke is an iconic series. This is a fine expansion into automotive tech, by a very capable and engaging presenter.
I wish that I'd experienced this video in my physics classes!!! Fascinating subjects presented superbly!

Hii i just found your channel like 3-4 hours back and im your fan now... Just instantly!! You are amazing..!! You make engineering look much simpler and funnnnn!! Thank you..
I wish more of these kind of shows existed. This has to have been filmed in the mid to late 2000's.
*2010s as the car is clearly a redbull from the 2010s specifically the 2011 car.
why is is that whatever Jeremy, Richard or James take up, its never boring..
41:15 actually now they re changing 2.5 seconds average now and the record is 1.92 seconds..
The wheels are much wider now as well.
Practice :D
Just watch the show... You dont have to give all the facts
@@nikolabolic7120 If you're that bothered by comments with facts, why are you even reading them? Why don't you follow your own advice and "just watch the show"!
Actually, Red Bull just pulled off a 1.88 last Sunday.
Richard is always put in awesomely interesting documentaries

Amazing video! Just waiting for the day that science is going to be teached for the children like this!
Hamster! The bit about them being fitted together when they’re warm is pretty wild. Love this deep dive into f1
I like how Hammond basically stands in front of a barrel for half this documentary... #typicalhammond
That car at 16:00 looks exactly like something that would be cobbled together in a Top Gear or Grand Tour challenge. You can take the Hammond out the studio but you cant take..............
...........you can't take the crashes out of Hammond.
Absolutely loved this, great upload.
This is easily among the most awesome videos I have ever seen! Thank you so much for uploading!
Greetings from Germany
Hammond point and just brushing his finger on that sword, just reminds me of the numerous super-cars he has wrecked, and am like who allowed that dude to hold a sword, he will chop his fingers off
And set them on fire
How many has he wrecked? I saw the electric one, is there more?
@@martyconsidine8628 2006 crash was near fatal for him
@@martyconsidine8628 two crashes from what i remember. OP makes it sound like he does it every other week
Hamster trying to stride out a meter - worth the watch on it's own ;) - love you Richard
this is golden content. what a legend
Thank you Richard you inspired me to become a mechanical engineer.
Watching hamster use that blacksmithing hammer. Omg. I basically peed myself. Lol
the best 50 minutes I spent on youtube
Agree!
Fascinating stuff, brilliant documentary.
Richard Hammond is awesome. Thumbs up for Richard :D
amazing technology all around , another awesome video from Richard , which I like very much , even more after his accident and after he so brutally drove the Marauder literally through a wall and on top of a car !!!! I love his sense of humor and the knowledge he brings to us all through videos like this one !!!!
Were you drunk when posting this
That artillery man scares me... lol
Oh yeah. Creepy. Just imagine what he gets up to in his secret underground shed when the cameras aren't around... Silence of the lambs? Too right. After midnight there'd be hundreds of angry villagers armed with pitchforks and blazing torches, battering at the doors, determined that his ghastly experiments must stop. Franken-crome must be destroyed! (Actually he's probably a really nice guy; spends his evenings watching CZcams, writing Comments... Hey, wait - Crome? It's YOU, isn't it, Alan! Nooooooooooo!)
That's an artillery lesbian.
its good isn't it
Alan Crome Dude looks like a lady....
That wig... is bad-ass. He don't give a sh*tt.
Always enjoy your videos. Very educational.
Great documentary. Very informative.
This must be pistons from Riccardo from this year :P
oh no
Savage...
ya, It was a joke but man...after US GP I don't know what to say anymore,so sorry for RIC :(
OOF
sabatoge@@BladeRunner031
4:58 The guy/gal is sure making eyes at Richard Hammond.
It’s clearly a guy...
"It's really not the type of device to catch your tie in, is it?" If prizes were awarded for clever understatements that would win hands down.
Before turbo hybrid era, sub ten second pit stops were called fast. Now we get worried when our favourite team takes more than 2.5 seconds.
God I love the sound of that engine...and Hammond
28:00 An impressive demonstration. To put it into a further perspective, say the steel rod is for car or truck X, what would be the expected torque it would see on normal day to day loads before it's breaking point of 1200?
Keep making this, you are incredibly talented
Richard’s massive steps when he counts out metres gave me a chuckle
"Possible overkill there..." LOL.
12:23 If an ordinary car makes about 200 horsepower I have apparently never owned an ordinary car. My current record is 109.
Well done and, to my surprise, it kept my attention. 👍
These programs are excellent. Should be oriented for viewing by children.
“When was the last time you went home without having your clothes cut off by a paramedic?” Asked Jeremy.
This was one of those days.
its funny when you cant get sued for endangering someones life, fun fun fun
Ricers need to watch this video and learn about aerodynamics
What an excellent piece.
I´m so happy they filmed this with a high rev engine this sound is godlike
Hammond left out part of the reason that F1 tubs are so strong: honeycomb.
What do bees have anything to do with it?
@@ijustpostedth1s724 Everything!
When he dropped the ball of water off the scaffolding all I could think of is the episode of Seinfeld where Kramer dropped the ball of oil out the window. Long live Kramerica Industries!!!
Fantastic reference!
That nice F1 sound, great documentary
This is absolutely fascinating
06:20 a phrase hammond has hear all too often XD
That sound :-)
mrmarcellos the real sound
The Driver Driving the Red Bull F1 Car was David Coulthard.
Richard has the best work ever
Interesting I thought the principle of how cannons work & the connection or the similarity to how engine's work was pretty cool !
Now to see how fast it goes around our track. Which means handing it over to our tamed racing driver. Just the best moments of top gear.
some say...
I’m watching this in 2023 and even though I know all about carbon fiber… it’s awesome to see these tests!
Gotta love these shows they really do a good job of dumbing things down so much it's almost insulting
This happened to american docs about a decade ago. Nat geo, even Nova, sad to see it crossed the pond
Especially since he's getting everything wrong.
20:30 Hammond is so excited he's found someone shorter then him. Sorry Richard.
12:20 "An average car produces about 200 horse power".
Does it heck, more like about 100, 150 at a push.
Really 150bhp? My 2010 Mondeo produces 200bhp, and that’s well, like an average family car? Performance on the average car has gotten considerably higher over the past 10 years :)
@@dazmorland Yes but your one case in point does not represent the average car. At 200 bhp your Mondeo will be towards the top end of the range, most Mondeo's sold will be the bottom and middle of the range which will be 120 - 160 bhp.
Dan Smith Dunno thought the Monds ranged from 140 - 300bhp for the 2.5 turbo?. Still 200bhp feels nothing special, decidedly average I’m afraid........
@@dazmorland It appears they currently range from 113 - 237 bhp. Looks like they don't make the 2.5 anymore but that was a bit less powerful at 217 bhp.
Dan Smith Well look at that, I can now say my Mond is better than average in its range! Go me :) (Thanks for doing the research on the Mondeo for me, someone quoted that their 2.5 turbo was pumping out 297bhp but now I think its because they had it remapped, which make sense now).
Came here to learn more about Grosjean’s crash!
I wonder if Richard Hammond was a fan James Burke? They can bring together modern marvels and a historic Connection. Just great shows👍
Enjoyed the part where they were trying to extinguish burning gasoline with water
A fire needs heat and oxygen. The overkill volume of water removed both.
Trying? They succeed.
Gasoline doesnt burn, its vapour does.
Should have filled it with hydrogen, would have made a nice bang! =)
@@GerardKean except the fire are burning the vapour kf the gasoline amd not itself. In some cases pouring water could make it worse since it can just spread the gasoline more. This is why we recommended to use fire extinguisher to put out a fire in that situation
I wish there was a part 2 :'(
I'm loving the cannon guy.
WOW Jealousy brings out the worst in people. Good job enjoyed the video. Thanks
33:10 origins of the slow mo guys
No. That was a Top Gear episode. Hammond was the featured presenter though.
@@rockacraig5653 Not Top Gear. This is a National Geographic documentary.
The trio did other things beyond Top Gear and The Grand Tour.
pls, enable the subtitles... I have limited english and I lost a lot of the content.
Oliver Schultes you didn’t miss much.
This documentary is so interesting.
This type programme require more.
6:20 When I try and persuade my ex to dump her new boyfriend...
David Thomas is
badumm tsss
ONLY BOY WILL UNDERSTAND... HOPEFULLY
The real question is.. How do you know you got a bigger one..? ^^
ken miles: when you go above 7000 rpm you become one with a machine
hamilton: i got 18.000 rpm mate
Williams Cosworth V8 had 20.000 RPM
Epic content Richard Hammond
Most amazing documentary
That V8 sound :)
but I miss more heaven sound from V10
The constant reminders of how good F1 it used to be is making me a bit depressed.
I also loved that 3 liter v10s. But to be honest, new 1.6 V6s are faster now.
@@oziylmaz4728
Let's compare with a Turbocharged V10 and then see what's faster.
@@budthecyborg4575 well "AS IF" V10s turbocharged (which would be a waste because they were amazing because they were naturally aspirated) obviously they would be faster.
@@oziylmaz4728 I guess V10 Turbo would still be a waste, this is F1 after all.
We should move to V12 Turbo.
5:19 the most Anglo lookin sir that ever was
Those CZcams premium ads are the worst! Like: "either you buy the car or I'll drive you over with it!"
In 1990's I remember watching on TV, Michael Schummacher's team changed tires in 3 seconds or less. Only De la Rosa's team use to take 8 seconds.
“Oh lord! I have dropped my sword!” :D
13:06, It's NOT the Stig, but it IS The Stig's FLYING COUSIN!
That just made my day😂😂
N/A engines revving out . Glorius!
What a great episode
Mexico says hi to this little guy ♥
Hi, Lalo! Hammy Hamster Hammond says 'Wotcha!' to Mexico, too! ♥♥
