- So we’ve seen the intense battle between Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton this year. Max parking his car on top of Lewis’ in Monza, Lewis being pushed onto the curbs in Imola and Max being fired off into the barrier at Silverstone.
But we’re engineering nerds here, so let's dive into the battle between Mercedes and Red Bull’s engineers this year - because they have been trading blows as well.
Both have found incredible breakthroughs in engine performance and aerodynamic advantages - so dive in and explain just how they have done it.
There is some juicy engineering to get into for this one…

This development race has come down to two main factors - engine power and downforce. We’re going to start with the engines.
Now in 2020, the engine was the main factor that gave the Mercedes the edge over the Red Bull Honda. They quite simply had more power, meaning they were much quicker at circuits like Monza and Spa.
However, Mecedes often weren’t the fastest in a straight line. As one of the main benefits of more power is that they can load the car with more downforce and not pay the price on the straights.
This, combined with the longer wheelbase design, meant that the Mercedes was faster in the medium and high-speed corners - but the agile chassis of the Red Bull meant that they were quicker in the slower corners.
Now, for 2021 - this seems to have flipped. Honda really have upped their game with an amazing push in engine development. And whilst a lot of this is kept secret, for obvious reasons, there is a decent amount we do know.
They have made massive performance gains that have meant that they were actually faster than the Mercedes on the long straights in Austria - something that was definitely not the case last year.
The first factor is that the engine is much smaller than last year and it looks to be the smallest engine on the grid, meaning that the rear-end of the car can be packaged much tighter.
This reduces drag and allows for better flow to the downforce generating components at the rear of the car. Something that really worked for Red Bull back in the Sebastian Vettel days - when Renault actually took a hit on power to create an engine that allowed for improved aerodynamic performance.
The smaller engine allows them to use a shorter wheelbase, whilst also keeping the centre of gravity slightly lower down, and concentrated in the middle of the car. It goes to show that even the engine on a Formula 1 car is designed to enhance the aerodynamic performance too.

Hamilton is my man but I think that RB will do better as a team
Merc was impressive laat race. They have clearly more speed.
I think Verstappen’s lead isn’t big enough. If Hamilton won amd Verstappen got second he would have got a margin by now which I think he needs
Compact? Those cars may be lightweight but they are as long and as wide as a full size Ford F150 if I remember correctly.
Man your comments from fans are being raided by dating sites bots

Yup this season is one of the best

That Adrian newey is simply a genius! Take something you can't see and manipulated to your advantage is amazing!
Adrian will always build decent cars,he always had,but sometimes they have a limited operating window like the current red bulls,thats why they are the most difficult to drive,but they have a good relationship with honda,and build the car to the engine preference also
The fact that Red Bull are as close as they are given Mercedes still have a better power unit is proof of Newey’s genius (and Max’s talent).
Adrian has quite some experience designing championship winning cars, I wonder what he will come up with in 2022

I'm so happy Honda and Red Bull got together, they've fitted each other like a glove. Now HRC are going to continue I'd expect this partnership to last a long time. Here's hoping.
Also, this may be your best work yet, 👍👍
Honda is going to leave F1 next year, I am so sorry.
Honda is leaving and only supporting the engine for a short time. In 2023 Red Bull is taking over the Honda engines (Red Bull gets the I.P. of the engines in the 'divorce' lol). "Red Bull Powertrains" will take over manufacturing and servicing starting in 2023. So, from 2023 on, we will see if Red Bull can actually compete with Mercedes since they will start doing their own engines as well.
@@brandonb.288 you're missing that HRC, the guys that do bike, are getting involved with Red Bull to develop the engines, so Honda aren't really dropping out. That is factual, its been announced. HRC might not be Honda fully but ask the MotoGP guys about that.
@@GB-vn1tf you are right. it will be still a Honda!
@@Pete292323 Only leaving financially and only partially. The personnel and engine construction is still Honda.
Great shot at 10:03 the wheel looks like it is moving in and out on the axle, but it’s the tyre wall shifting as the corner force changes.
This is the type of video I love the most, keep it up please!!!! It's amazing
To a relative neophyte like me, or to someone new to F1, this video is an excellent demonstration of the astounding technical complexity of F1 cars and the teams' remarkable ability to manufacture newly designed engines, engine parts, bodypanels etc. seemingly on the fly. It also illustrates the lengths teams go to gain a few tiny fractions of a second a lap, in a sport where a full second a lap and eternity are almost the same thing.
The engineering that goes into getting even the slightest advantage in F1 is really incredible. When you consider just how advanced all the teams are being at the end of a long era of regulations the margins for improvement have to be so slim but teams still find clever ways to get an advantage.
After the Austria doubleheader it seemed like RedBull had the clear upper hand but Merc has been out developing them since, I am also impressed with how competitive Ferrari looks after their power upgrades too even though they are not in the title fight.
“Verstappen parking his car on top of Hamilton’s…” That was priceless Scott! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Time?
@@blobers8566 in the beginning but he said Max and Lewis
Yes. Completely wrong. Lulu pushed Max again, this time on top of him.
Was it tho? British comedy smh
Sir Scamilton is innocent ha ha in the Silverstone accident hitting Max right rear sending Max into the hospital and than celebrating as it worked out briljant. Now kneel fan boy.

Pressurise a liquid, and it's freezing temp reduces that's how (I Presume) mec cools a coolant below its freezing point .
That was the very best explanation of the MGU-H I’ve ever seen. Thank you!
Great segue to the sponsor bit. I could tell you enjoyed it as well.
Great video! Would love to hear more confirmed/semi confirmed nuances about the power units, as well as how this "super cooling" system works as a whole!
Supercooling is done by pressurising the fluid and chemical additives that prevent the water molecules binding. The plenum would have to be a 3D printed lattice structure to take the high pressure of up to 10bar (10x atmospheric pressure)
You sound like a chemistry genius 👍
10 bar is not that high a public avalible to by presure washer is 25 bar
@@letsseetofindout2560Process/Chem engineer. Began my working life completing a four year apprenticeship as a fitter/machinist and worked as a tradesman for 10 years specialising in Fluidpower before going to university.
@@davidtube79 you’re right, though 10bar over such a large surface area is a big task to keep contained without rupture and keeping it all lightweight still. The surface area of the tubing and hoses of a pressure washer is tiny in comparison to a plenum. Domestic pressure washers are available up to 250-300bar. Commercial pressure washers go upwards of 2500bar for large industrial application, like removing linings of process equipment.
I don't think it is going with the fluid to the supercooled state. There is huge disadvantage of this solution that fluid can solidify just by acceleration or shake that f1 car produce on track. I would go with chemical additives to point where fluid stays fluid. Maybe my knowledge is to small in this area.
Another question is if liquid is cooled under pressure is it supercooled?
Whats the point of another pomp in the system that consumes energy?
Wow!! Immensely helpful and insightful content. Two thumbs up for Driver 61. I was scratching my head after the Turkish gp, about Mercs speed.
Very detailed and informative video. Can't be found anywhere on the internet. Fabulous job and very well explained. The best F1 engeneering material. Well done 👍
That was really informative, I love deep dives into the engineering behid the cars without going too heavy on the physics that make it happen. Great video mate.
Hey Scott! I love your analysis of F1 driving styles and I was wondering if you could cover one on ricciardo’s driving style and why he’s struggling at mclaren - I’m sure lots of other fans would love to hear your insights on this!
I think The Race has covered this topic a while ago. Another great channel for F1 content imho
Yeah the best of autoaction became the race. The four best channels are The Race, Formula World, Aidan Millward and of course Driver61. This is where I get breaking news, facts and rumours of all F1 shenanigans
It's crazy how hard Honda are going when they're laving F1 at the end of the year.
Honda going all electric, F1 dosn't showcase that so has to go but they transferring all the tech and many engineers are moving from Honda to Red Bull. So it's ok.
They're not entirely going, they will still supervise and build the engines for the next 4 years.
@@MrShadowofthewind yea aren't they just selling the entire department? The building, IP, and probably most of the staff too? I think I read that VW/Porsche was a frontrunner?
And now they are not leaving until 2026..
Admirable how you are able to explain immense complexity in such a concise way that at least now I have an idea 🙂
Really excellent to see details of these engines. Love the videos. Can't wait for next year!
Either way, either one would make for an exciting win. Lewis for his 8th. Historic. Max for his 1st against arguably the Greatest to ever do it. Mate.. what a season. May the best man win. Fan of both gentlemen.

The WCC holds the prize money.
The only thing that the WDC brings is just a title. Its really because of how the media and all portrays the WDC that the WDC looks more important, but the WCC is where the prize money is.
Hungary GP was a pretty good point in illustrating that, the teams that aren't fighting for WDC are purely fighting for WCC, Alpine's Alonso defending against Hamilton, Williams' Russell told his team to prioritize his teammate who was ahead, all of that was because they are fighting for WCC.
It’s just VTEC power

Honda will have to come with another upgrade because the Mercedes last Brasil upgrade was huge, so huge that is very suspected.
Variable length trumpets were used on the Mazda 787B as well. Helped to give the already efficient at high rpm rotary, a big boost in torque. Made the powerband much wider.
Thank you sooo much for the videos you produce. It's always a pleasure watching them and I always leave with more knowledge and love for the sport.
RB: keep it simple
Mercedes: let's over-engineer german style :D
and make sure we need special tools to service it.. the german way
@@notastone4832 I like to think that Honda is so efficient that they even use factory Honda oil filters as well. Just standard 10 mm bolts everywhere and basic factory air filters hidden in there
Its amazing how much Honda has improved with RedBull money behind them. Variable intake runners, how innovative, its not like they were used on a early 1990's Mazda 787B. Im a bit puzzled as to how Mercedes is keeping this "Super Cooled" coolant at this super cooled temperature during a full race, it will require a lot of energy to keep it so cold.
This video was very informative. Great work Scott

Fascinating insight mate, thank you.
Great Information, well presented! Just subbed !
So, this is aging very well...
For anyone interested, you can experience a super cooled liquid at home. Take bottled water and put it in the freezer for a few hours. Take it out before it starts freezing. Hit the bottle and the water will instantly crystallise in the bottle.
I've found that sparklink water works bets as you can pour it into a glass ten drop an ice cube in to watch it turn into slush.
The fact that Mercedes can cool the coolant enough to achieve this is a feat. Especially that close to a very hot engine.
Those Sodium Acetate hand wormers work by the same principle. The solution is supercooled too and needs a "seed" for crystallisation to occur. By bending the metal inside the wormer, small crystals are released and start the crystallisation.
Great technical knowledge upgrade. Thanks
THAT WAS THE MOST INFORMATION ON F1 ENGINES ,,, I HAVE EVER HEARD OR SEEN . THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND PLEASE I TRULY HOPE THERE WILL BE MORE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow this video really goes to show
How much the Honda Power Unit has been improved
It's sad that they are pulling out of the sport after becoming more competitive again
I’d consider 3D print engine parts to optimize the weigh reduction as well the design for better aerodynamics.
Not strong enough
@@axel3895It depends I guess. If the correct alloy is used and the is model structurally verified should work. Czinger is a supercar brand using this kind of technology.
Love the nerdy and side mate. Nailing it
Thank you very much for these awesome explanations....
Very interesting. Thank you. How does all this work with this years rule that improvements are not allowed if they are not for durability purposes?
They are allowed one update on each component. Renault runs with last year's engine and they are going for a new split turbo engine next year.
As far as the super cooling goes, if the pressure of the liquid is increased it can also reach below its freezing temperature.
Amazing technical content!! If I wanted to regularly read about more technical F1 content like this, what sources would you recommend?
very informative yet interesting video to watch, thanks!
I love how he’s like “in simple terms” then explains something very complex
Next episode idea : "Why not make cylinders oval shape ?"
my guess is longer strokes cause you would need more fuel and air mixture, i have a question though what would be the benefits of it?
Star shape would be better imo
Honda NS500 intensifies
Same reason why pressurized tanks aren’t ovals, a circle is the best shape to handle pressure. Same for planes too actually
Because ovals would not distribute the stress equally like spheres. The stresses would be "concentrated" in the narower portions of the oval
I loved the MK fighting sounds in the beginning
First 7 seconds of this video are freaking hilarious!!! :))))) Thank you Driver61!
This is the best F1 channel - thank you!
This is the first season we saw a title fight that might go down to the wire aka Abu Dhabi since 2016 and 2011 I think but I could be wrong with 2011
7:36 - variable-length intakes are not common in road cars, but they do exist. My Caterham has a Zetec with variable-length inlets (it's the fancy Zetec from the Ford Focus SVT), and it does indeed work really well with a much flatter torque curve than the standard Zetec.
This dude is very good at explaining complex stuff in a way even i can understand it.
Max you had a brilliant race in Brazil, great job, you are an example of professional and education, I'm Brazilian and you're already a champion, I'm rooting for you.
Nice
That's sarcasm, for those of you who didn't get it?
Finally, a team that can properly develop their car at the same level as Mercedes, unlike a certain team whom has got outdeveloped at the 2nd half of the season twice

Covid done more for F1 than FIA last 20 years. Last year was incredible with midfield battles and this year one of best title fights. It would not be the same if some decisions were not made because of covid. Aaaaaand 2022. is ahead with new rules!
Yeah "secret updates" while Merc's upgrades at Silverstone make it fucking fly and no one bats an eye...
The upgrades red bull are doing is not much for performance but for the reliability
Excellent video. It has clarified a lot for me. Thanks
Great, bring us more of these pls
8:00 I'm not sure what type of coolant Mercedes is using, but I find it hard to believe they are using coolant that is being cooled to below it's freezing point. Water freezes at 0 C/32 F, so unless their car has some sort of refrigerator on board, there's no way they're supercooling coolant using just ambient airflow (and F1 races don't usually occur when it's below freezing outside).
If I had to guess, "supercooled" in this context does not mean the coolant is being cooled below its freezing point, but rather it means that the coolant is being cooled below its boiling point. When referring to systems that use a combination of vapor and liquid (more believable in this context), supercooled means the vapor-liquid mixture is being cooled below the temperature that all of the vapor condenses into liquid.
That being said, I am making the assumption that their coolant is primarily water. This makes sense as most cars use water-based coolant, and water has an extremely high specific heat capacity, so it transfers heat very effectively for it's weight. But if they're using some exotic chemical for their coolant, my argument is null.
Also tech rules forbit any phase change coolands. So yeah hard to said if that is true. Plus intake plenum temperature is monitored by FIA ECU.
@@alesksander yes FIA monitor intake temperature, it can only be from memory 10c lower than ambient temperature, that’s why Redbull questioned where the temperature sensor has to be fitted because it’s thought Mercedes are running coolant through the intake manifold AFTER the sensor reducing intake temps.
@@dandewar8403 Yeah maybe. But FIA tech officers are not dumb or are they? If there is something on this i imagine this is almost carbon copy situation of Ferrari. Maybe they really use "cavity" inside carbon plenum to provide that advantage. Technically is possible yes. But huge red flag against that is how Mercedes out willingly spoken about revolutionary" plenum design before and even during this season. Normally Merc operates under smoke and mirrors tactics. Whole 2013 season was meme, 2014-2016 hiding aero dominance, 2017 diva car with Pirelli understandings - those pesky wheel rims and lobby for oil burning etc. I guess there advantage is on other place or there are none. Maybe they just perfected combustion of this hybrid are to perfection. Nowadays they just squeezing as much performance they can .So they got perf issues. naturally. And luckily for them in next seasons you can resolve any anomaly's even under freezing rules. So is worth it to push harder and fix thingies later. Overall design seems just solid for them. Same for Honda witch impressive resurgence and catch up gets them high praise and any magic bullets are very unlikely at this stage.
Your right. They area managing to cooling liquid its boiling temp not freeze.
And also air in intercooler cant be cooled below anbient temp.
this didnt age well after todays race
So interresting. Thx a lot

Best season in forever
All because rule changes screwed over a team to benefit another...
The Merc has had a massive power boost since Silverstone. RB's got no chance on the straight anymore. Let's see if it punishes the merc's reliability.
Great video though, it's exactly the things that makes one an F1 fan no matter if the races are boring or not. :D
Unreal video such good detail
The thing that always surprises me is that we constantly hear about designers going to absolute extremes to keep the centre of gravity low in order to maximise mechanical grip, which is particularly important in the low speed corners, because there's minimal downforce at low speed. And since the Red Bull seems to be quick in low speed corners, you would imagine it has a particularly low centre of gravity. But given that the high rake design lifts the whole engine, gearbox, fuel tank, rear suspension etc several inches higher than a low rake car, the Red Bull centre of gravity must be massively higher than the Mercedes in low speed corners. It just doesn't make any sense.
can't wait to the see the new cars, as all the drivers are great but the result seems to come down to who has the fastest car instead of driving skill. I do like the fact the cars are different but when one or two teams are so far ahead it's unfair. Hamilton is a great driver in the fastest car so doesn't normally have competition he gets way out in front, next year we will see if he can actually battle and drive well with other probably equally skilled drivers keeping the pressure on assuming he is even at the or near the front of the pack might not be the case next year, although I'm sure Mercedes will bend as many rules as possible to make sure they have the best car again.
Out thinking your opponents isn’t “unfair” if it’s within the rules regulations. Don’t blame the Mercedes’ engineers for being more clever than their rivals. Don’t complained about “Mercedes’ dominance”. Complain to your favorite constructors about why they’re unable to match technical skill and know how.
How does Merc cool their coolant below ambient temperature? I don't buy it.
possibly inducing some form of vacume or low pressure area like an a/c system
@@fluffywarhampster yeah, but what's the working fluid? Coolant? Oil? Hydraulic fluid? Fuel?
@@roflchopter11 who knows...
I'm with you, I was trying to figure this out as well. In theory if you could bleed some compressed air off the inlet (after the intercooler) then expand that back to ambient pressure you might be able to get below ambient temp. Maybe run that air through a cooler to cool your working fluid? Not even sure it's possible once you account for efficiencies and relatively small heat capacity of the bleed air compared to the plenum air. I don't think they'd be using a refrigerant cycle (doubt the rules would even allow that) due to weight and the power loss to run the compressor.
This is great great stuff, keep it coming !
I sincerely hope that the changes next year will bring out the personal quality of the drivers. May that season bring forward a true champion racer. Looking forward allready to next year. While being very excited for the oncoming races. What a race year it has been allready.
Toto Wolff wants to know you location
Bono, James Alisson and James Wolves are intensively taking notes
Despite that Mercedes is still 20kph faster on the straights
Interesting and informative report also Yamaha we’re using variable inlet trumpets in 2006 on their R6 2CO road bikes.
As you say in the end, both are ahead of the pack because of genius engineering, but both philosophies are legit, and it only comes down to how the high performance is put on the street in given circumstances. I think the one, who can push itself as a team and their car to 100% each race weekend, will win the championship. It might be decided by little errors as Hamilton and Mercedes did in Turkey (good idea to take only the 10 place grid penalty but then not to box in the right window, which was a delicate decision).
Its quite remarkable how Mercedes has closed the deficit to Redbull compared to the start of the season.
No matter what obstacle FIA throws with new regulations they will find a way.
Ah yes, banning flexible wings, and electronic pit stop confirms and changing the tire construction and air pressures really hurt Mercedes. Lmao
I hope max wins
Thank you, professor Driver61!

With a gimpy 10 second penalty for attempted murder max should do some high speed skulduggery and give Lewis a nice concrete dinner. Lol 🤣
@@stableianF1oracle Lewis was legally squeezed into the inside corner and was never going to make that apex space at that speed. Max would have known that. It looked like Lewis was starting to back out as he was understeering just before contact tbh and it was wheel contact not a T bone shunt . Max didnt believe it was done with intent either, he was annoyed with Lewis for his post race celebrations. Peace
F1 isnt about winning or losing. Not even who's cheating. It's about who gets screwed over the most every year by stupid rule changes.

Awesome amount of information 👍🏻
I am really pulling for Max here . He is such a great wheel to wheel racer.
Honda also improved the coating on the pistons. This coating was engineered for MotoGP. It allows them to extract more power out of the engine.
