"It was banned next year" 😅
Sometimes I can't believe the split turbo setup wasn't. Because we will be entering the split turbo era (I think). Red bull has already made the jump somehow amidst the loss of an engine manufacturer. Both red bull and Mercedes are running other methods to make the air denser as well, giving each a boost in power beyond other teams' limits.
I would be willing to bet we begin to see more as well seeing as it hasn't been banned. I also find it Quite genius, pulling out more HP where none previously existed.

Except when Ferrari invented it.
"Ferrari wasn't happy and so no one else could be happy either."
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.
Right?? Was thinking the same
10:11 best transition i have ever seen
Ikr? Dude pulled Ratchet & Clank
Holy shit I didn't even notice
I didnt even notice either... thats Magic at work, great video. I knew most of this information but still watched to the end.
@@Tugboatpb Really? The car changed shape and color and you didn't notice? Hand in your driver's license now bro.
@@hugolafhugolaf we were listening to the video, we aren’t driving. Appreciate the work put into that transition rather than giving crap for others not noticing.
"should the throttle stick open" tells you exactly about the safety of those cars.
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
I'm pretty sure all race cars have kill switches these days, it doesn't necessarily mean the cars are unsafe, but stuff happens.
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.
I'm still mad about the banning of the dual-pedal braking. So simple and ingenious and demands skill of the driver to use properly.
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.
@@illegitimate0 Well that is correct of what you said✅✅. But as I said earlier Neither the FIA will unban it nor will the teams accept it.
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!
I really enjoy videos with insights like this.
same
Yep well researched and nothing mispronounced...Simon Whistler
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.
If the regulations didn't specify that the ride height can't be changed before measurement, than it wasn't cheating, just finding a smart solution.
9:17 dude almost takes out the pit sign
Lol true
Someone’s mad.
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!
Engineering is so complicated that even "music" has influence on the cars.
Wonder why they didn't run the alternator off the gearbox? I've seen quite a few circuit racers run driveshaft driven alternators
@@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.
I do not understand how a person or even a bot could down vote this video. It's engaging, interesting, educational and entertaining.
Do you about computer software? There are a lot of software that putting likes and dislikes which you can buy online so sometimes they can put like and dislikes on completely wrong video.
most are trying to give the thumbs up and hit the wrong icon by mistake.
Probably people that likes the halo.
Indeed
Who cares? And it's not a downvote, it's a disklike, and doesn't negatively impact visibility.

"every part of an F1 car is totally bespoke"
tell that to haas and racing point xD
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.
True, although Racing Point definitely took the piss with their W10 clone...
“Scenario 7. Single press overtake” era
I'd love to see a video about the differentials like you've done for the adjustable brake bias
Limited-slip diffs?
@@rattusnorvegicus4380 Yeah, but specifically, I think this guy's asking for a video about the decisions behind changing the diff ratios on the fly during the race. Load, unload, preload values etc for the front and rear diffs
Alonso actually drove a Ferrari 375 F1 car from the 50s around Silverstone, he actually drove it pretty quickly!
I think he meant push it to its limits in a racing atmosphere, not literally just above cruising speed
"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.
Can you please repeat the question.
he didn't listen!
I had this exact moment in my head when he started talking about the wheels and buttons ahah !
Hshahahaaha i read it in his accent
@@lokopixo2338 I checked the comments and no one had posted this so I decided to take my moment
"The somewhat controversial Halo" .. not since the 29th Nov 2020 ...!
Exactly 👍
I was searching for a comment regarding this accident. Halo sure saved him from decapitation that day
There's literally never been a driver decapitated before, and having the halo to account for freak accentence isn't worth it imo.
If u really wanted safety then you'd be crying to have the drivers out of the cars completely, and have them race in the video games instead for 100% safety.
We have the tech so why not?
@@KrolKaz
Jules Bianchi would be alive today if he had the halo. It's not about decapitation, it's about reducing blunt force trauma.
@@Chatta-Ortega Likewise Tom Pryce
The engineering behind every single part of the car and what drivers can do with it is just pure art
F1 team : Innovate
FIA : Wait, that's illegal..
Yeah I don't like motor sports because of that.
Such is the purpose of all governmental bodies: to hold back the forward progress of innovators to make sure the established vested interest, who bribe them the most, have monopolistic advantage. The purpose of politics is nothing more than to enrich oneself through extortion and threat of violence if you refuse to acquiesce to thuggery. The art of politics is to deceive the gullible into thinking you have their interests in mind and, by taking on responsibilities that only the individual can smartly administer, pretend to provide "services". All of which have been conclusively shown throughout economic history to be run FAR better by the people directly, without the need for an extortionist intermediary. It is all a delusion: odysee.com/@LarkenRose:2/Statism-The-Most-Dangerous-Religion-(feat.-Larken-Rose):9

@@jakobgib You say that as if governments haven't shut down and destroyed entire economies right in front of your eyes. When the house is on fire is exactly when you shouldn't "chill" lol.
@@EnFuegoDuo I live in germany and I'm doing very very well thank you :)
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!"
That's... Not a bad idea
Hmm
that actually sounds pretty cool lmao. like the hamilton voice assistant in cars 3
Imagine the voice assistant in Malaysia 2013 in Vettel's car: "Ok Hungry Heidi, multi 21. I'm joking, full power to destroy Webber"
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!
Youuu muuuust hyyydrate Maaax...you must hydrate now....
6:33 hmm I sure wouldn't want to crash in that egg shell monopost.
Been watching F1 for 35 years ... and I still learn new things thanks to your excellent channel!
I have to say I love Formula 1. It's exciting, and action packed from first to last lap. But as much as I enjoy that aspect of the sport, It's the Technical/Engineering aspect that really hooked me. Your channel does a great job making that side of the sport accessible and understandable. Thank you very much for that.
Now if the was only an American Formula 1 team. I don't count Haas since Gene has chosen to let Dmitry Mazepin tell Gunther Steiner how to run the team.
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.
Wow...beeing a race driver 100 years ago is equal of going to war...you can not be sure how or if you will come back..

3:42 Watch how Stewart turns the car through that bend with the mildest of slides. So beautiful.
Love these kinds of vids, man!
Top shelf content. Very informative!
It’s amazing to see how things have evolved over the decades
What an amazingly well put together video. that alone got my sub.. I dont even watch any type of racing but im always interested in seeing tech progress and this was right up my alley.
Another excellent documentary, very well done. A ten out of ten on subject, content and insights. Good for you, Driver61, keep them coming.
So much of information packed in one video . Great work !
I remember seeing inside an old 1930's era F1 equivalent car at Goodwood years ago, and not only were the break and accelerator peddles swapped, the transmission ran right between your legs and there was a hand pump on the left for oil, in case the oil pressure dropped whilst racing lol
I don‘t want to know how many people died because that transmission broke and impaled them.
This is really intriguing and informative. Awesome job! Can you do one of these videos on shifter karts or super karts?
These are so good.
Thanks for taking the time to make them!
Very professional video, mate. Good stuff here.
Well done mate! This was such a good insight, you’re the man
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. I absolutely loved this little playlist with the classic footage and so well narrated. I am hoping to attend the Canadian GP once they start back up and allow fans to attend. Thanks for making great content for new fans like me.
Seriously so well done with this video, been wanting to show me son more of how F1 works and this nailed a big part of the sport!
Love these Evolution videos, keep them up! 👌
Really interesting and engaging video. I appreciate the work put into it. Missed an opportunity though by not adding Mercedes DAS system
Really interesting stuff, great video!
Love you’re videos. Keep it up.
Fascinating. Good job on this, it’s great entertainment.
Lovely video, thanks for such a nicely put together video.
Superinteressting. Thank you for posting!
Loved this man! Loved it.
One of the best CZcams I've seen on formula 1 in a long time maybe ever. Good job.
Very interesting. Kept me watching the whole time. I even just subscribed. Keep up the good work!
It's striking to see drivers upper bodies so exposed again after the introduction of the Halo.
Especially with all the controversy before the introduction.
Thanks for this great video. Great job with loads of information. Just missed the HANS. Which has also largely contributed to the safety of the drivers.
I'd really like to see a similar video regarding the 'coded' messages between drivers and engineers.
It's a really great video. Thanks, I enjoyed it a lot. It was nicely placed and very informative.
Love your work keep it up!
fantastic video mate!
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! I thought it would be just the last 15 years, great to see it going all the way back. Excellent stuff
That small bits like Jean alesi and Kevin magnussen was really funny plz add them more, they give another feel of the video.
Great video, very well done!
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
Amazing work! Thank you very much.
I like your videos. Straight to the point. All business.
Keep,these up I honestly cant wait for the next one ! Maybe tracks?
13:43 that is a screaming engine
Thanks for your explanation of the evaluation of the F1 cars …, was very interesting!!🙏,-1 2,3, 4 and so on!
Great video, a lot of insight through time.
I really.., really enjoyed the content presented within this video..!!! 👍😎 Thanks mate.., for an excellent production..!!! 👏💯👌
you have all this information from the history of Formula 1 that i've been trying to find. great job
Didn't feel like a quarter of an hour to watch, so well done!
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?
That was amazing thank you. MORE!!!
oh my my, splendid work! Do something about how FIA managed the sport, maybe?
spectacular amount of quality info here
a real inspiration about how much
thought goes into all this business,
and about how hard one needs to work in this life
to get anything good dunn

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.
this was great bro
this was a really great video!
As a home sim racer I live your channel so interesting and informative. Keep it up and thankyou for doing this
Excellent insight video well done

Wow, fantastic educational journey through the evolution of F1.
Brilliant love your work
Immense detail. Ty.
Excellent! Thank you!
Another great video 👍
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.
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.. 🏁🇺🇲🇺🇲🏁👍
Just saw this channel! Subbed. Nice stuff
Great! Love this historical evolution stuff.
It's amazing how they are able to focus on driving with all the button pushing and knob twisting they do.
Excellent video!
Really interesting watch!👌👍
Very entertaining video!
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.
Beautiful explained!
the background painted the picture perfectly, thanks
Brilloant video! You got me stuck to my chair the whole 15 minutes! Thanks
Very cool video .
