    I think the most famous would be the 1996 pre-season test where backmarker team Supersport F1 rolled out a 4WD car, set 10 consecutive fastest laps and recorded the highest top speed of any car that year at 389 kph. It was amazing that no one took notice of this car, almost as it never existed.

      YouTubbers use stock footage over and over, and mirror sometimes to eek out the copyright-free stuff. Even in professional documentaries they do it because the editor is an artist, not a technician. Even seen it when there is absolutely no need. Documentaries are about facts not artifice. It devalues all of the message completely. IMNSHO - BTW no mention of Gordon Murray - he was clever too.

  • @andrewcarter9649
    @andrewcarter9649 Před 5 měsíci +2

    Brawn didn't fool anybody, it was the other teams that fooled themselves as they couldn't believe they were so far behind a car that had a bodge job engine installation from a team that nearly didn't make the grid. That car topped the timesheets every day of the test though.
    Mercedes really were in trouble in 19, mostly due to reliability and it was only a last minute update before the start of the season to the engine that really got them going. This combined with Ferrari actually being a lot worse than their testing pace suggested had the effect of making them look like they had been sandbagging.

    • @joshn1678
      @joshn1678 Před 5 měsíci

      Yeah, people forget that with no budget cap, teams could do all sorts of stuff to catch up. Plus without the engine locked, they could also improve performance, they really need to loosen the engine regs and increase the budget cap.

      @andrewcarter9649 Před 5 měsíci

      @@joshn1678The budget caps fine, we're already seeing the grid close up because of it, and the engines are all pretty close, with Renault being the worst and it's less than 20hp down (remember when Ferrari's V12 was 100hp down on the Renault V10 in 93, those days are long gone). Honestly, we really don't need a return to the days of $250-300mil budgets.

    Ferrari, 2016: Ferrari looked to be going all guns blazing heading into the 2016, having repeatedly set the pace in their new car for that year, the SF-16 H, and appeared to be finally poised to mount a full challenge to Mercedes. That turned out not to be the case as not only did Mercedes win both titles, but Ferrari had their second winless season in 3 years. They dropped behind Red Bull to third in the Constructors Championship in 2016, with 398 points to Red Bull's 468 (which for the Milton Keynes team included 2 wins)

    Prost and Arrows hardly fooled anyone into believing they would win anything, but they fooled an entire generation of F1 fans into believing that testing times don't matter.
    When BAR kept topping the time sheets in 2004 pre-season testing, they were accused of glory running. Nope, they were actually better than anyone else bar Ferrari, who had been hiding in Italy all winter.
    Brawn has already been covered in the video. Glory runs, yeah, right!
    Force India were allegedly doing glory runs to attract sponsors in 2020. Except they actually had the second fastest car when the season eventually started. And they repeated the same in green in 2023.
