What's your favorite F1 team?
Merc, Mclaren, Aston
Mercedes petronas of course lol
ANYTHING BUT FERRARI
I'm depressed every race week, so you know which team is my fav🥲🥲
Merc, Ferarri, Mclaren
The "brake light" is actually an indicator for the ERS system.
If the light is blinking, that means the driver is harvesting energy, no light means that they are deploying the energy! They also stay on for wet races, or low visibility. Cool little bit to see when you are watching the broadcasts!!
when they blink it means the battery is below 10%
Found my fellow Formula 1 Enthusiast
@@christofferrsnes9508 i highly doubt that f1 uses EV just because they’re not capable of producing a consistent power output long enough for them to be able to race the way F1 does
Good to know that the people presenting this don't even know the basics.
@@jaydenpalm3098 The battery is used to give the cars more horsepower for brief periods. All drivers can only use a certain amount of energy deployment during a lap. The battery depletes during this, and excessive use will drain the power and leave the driver with little to no energy therefore meaning slower laptimes and vulnerable to cars behind. The car recharges the battery under braking and recycling kinetic energy produced by the cars. So the batteries do in fact reach below 10% and cannot last a race distance. That is why the recharging exists
Honestly for $250K thats not a bad deal. Just think about the millions people pay for paintings/ sculptures. To have something like this in a garage would be amazing
i went to an f1 exposition and i saw the real deal vs these show cars side by side... honestly, these are not accurate at all, you can definetly spot which one is the real car in an instant,its like a merry go round horse vs a real horse
no gearbox or engine since they had to be return the pu to ferrari, no matter what youll need a crew to help you move it. so idk
@@brozerosucksthere was never an engine to start with, it’s a show car.
@@adam217 Not that you would want a 2022 Ferrari PU, especially if fitted in an Alfa
@@robertocp50 I'm sure most of the differences are proprietary and unique to whatever set up the actual car is running. If it's not on this show car they aren't allowed to replicate it. Also I'm pretty sure a front and rear wing on a real F1 car is the same price as this entire show car so I doubt you'd want it to be any more authentic.
The Number 77 on the car belongs to Valtteri Bottas, who finished the 2022 season in 10th place. His best result that year was P5 at the Imola GP (one of two races held in Italy that season)
Valtteri has 10 race wins overall (all with Mercedes) and 67 podiums ( 9x Williams / 58x Mercedes) which is one podium short of the most podiums without a championship-win. Bottas best results in the drivers standings is 2nd (2019 / 2020).
BTW:
@4:10 - It is not a brake light, but has several functions: In wet conditions it increases visibility and under dry conditions it flashes when the ERS system is used (to recharge the battery) and also in the pit lane to increase the visibility of the vehicle.
Traditions 🍾

Stop being smart.
@@kakhakshhh, your safe now
And Alfa Romeo could either be Audi in 2024 or Toyota. Though Audi looks more likely
To clarify, the show car isn't based on the CAD of the actual cars themselves, but of a default FIA show car that's built to the regulations, but isn't representative of what the teams are actually running. There are too many secrets on each car to do that.
some components are clearly from the alfa romeo however, the nose is clearly from the alfa.
Actually red bull was the only team to use the fia car as a show car. All other teams launched with real designs (albeit from earlier on in the development. The FIA car was based on an older version of the spec and would be illegal under the 2022 regs.
You can clearly tell this isn't the fia car by the cooling louvres, the fia car had soap dish side pods like the ferrari with contoured vents, this is clearly alfas own design
No it's the real thing. I saw that same 22 Alfa in Vegas a few months ago, spent some time admiring, it it's definitely not the default car.
@@Rome1017Lights It's not the real thing it's still just a show car it has some really basic designs from the car but nothing significant.
@@acesseu4991 yes it obviously wasn't the real thing, you and I just watched the same video.
It was more true to design than you might think. The only differences I spotted were non-adjustable front and rear wings, wheel nuts were different, interior was barebones fake exhaust pipe and floor aero was simplified.
Other than that it was real carbon, real tires, real wheel and real design.
Building this thing into a sim racing rig would be insame… hope someone does it
they have one like that on their website but its kinda over priced. If I got it I would rather put in engine in the show car and drive it around
Someone here in Toronto did that with one of last year's Alfa-Sauber show cars. He took it out to show it off at the Autoshow in February too!
Red Bull built half of a Sim rig like this.
you dont need a whole car for that
Why would you turn a perfectly good, actual race car into a fake race car? Take it to the track nerd.
We're so happy you enjoyed unboxing this - we loved it too! 🏎
What the heck do you do with a car that doesn't have an engine? At least stick a Honda Civic engine inside so you can move it around.
@@TheAstronomyDudejust do it yourself then so you can choose which engine you want
@@TheAstronomyDude Like most people who are going to buy one, to put it on display. It doesn’t need an engine.
@@TheAstronomyDudek-swap
@@AZEOforrealAn empty carcass on display just makes me think of taxidermy. "Look Ma! I dun shot an Alfa Romeo!"
"Only missing the engine itself" and the computers, the electronics, the gearbox, the fire extinguishers, the batteries, the fluids, the brakes etc etc
Saw this car at the auto show in Toronto this year! It blew my mind how much bigger it was in person, what a fine piece of engineering.
Surprisingly it is just as long as an f150
2:05 That's a €50,000 fine right there
1:34 So much details even down to the fly in the radiator 🪰
1st thing I noticed 😄
I love Alfa Romea it's sad to see them struggle. But $250,000 sounds reasonable for a replica made by the team. It has great potential for an amazing sim.
He original said they were made by the team but later stated all the replicas were made at a separate shop. So where are they actually made?
@manuelmaseda4875 Haha the old switch-a-roo. Makes sense. I'm sure one straight from the team would be over a million.
@@cheesycarrotsoupmaybe there is one.
@@cheesycarrotsoup If I had the cash, id buy the shell and put a cosworth v8 and gearbox in that would be sick as a track toy
@@ronaldvanas9492 Ong
Pricey. I remember back in the day, you could buy retired F1 cars for less than this static display. Everything going price crazy.
Back then cars were simpler with barely any electronic and aerodynamic put into creating them and instead just focus on the engine. Nowadays shape of the cars are more complex, more electronic, safety features and better overall material.
Have you checked how much each F1 car cost to make? The engine alone is $10 millions which is majority of the cost. Pretty sure this is just a show car that was used as promotion events so half the parts are not even to the real one because the wing alone can cost a quarter million to just produced
It’s called inflation…
Wrong, F1 cars never were so cheap. Don't deceive people.
@@kakhak ahhhh, riiiight. I made it all up. Sure. Never said they were cheap soooo.
I definitely wasn't expecting this crossover
Ultimate unboxing experience! Wow! I can’t wait to do this one day, in Germany 🇩🇪
What about in Salzburg?
Incoming hefty fine for touching that rear wing 😂 🏎️🏁
I don't recall many others who get access to do such videos, Lew. Great job 👏🏼😊
1:34 that fly is just chillin
Imagin make a simrig out of that! The immersion would be insane
So crazy. I've seen this car at an Orlen gas station in Poland on display.
This might be one of your best unboxings to date. This is one hell of a super race car.
Yep. And also iconic all the same like 1970 Alfa Romeo.
I want a 8th or 10th scale rc version of this! This would be such a fun remote control street racer.
i would put a turbo hayabusa motor in that replica and do some track days lol
@cafe88racer53 something tells me there's no putting a motor in one of these display cars. I still like the RC 8th scale idea at least I could drive it every day.
I saw this car last year live and fell in love with this one in particular... its beautiful...
I still to this day like the McLaren livery from back around 2000 more than any other livery I've seen in F1, might be because two of my favourite drivers of all time both drove for Mclaren ion that era, Hakkinen and Raikkonen (yes I am finnish, why you ask? 😅) But even without that fact, I just think those cars looked SO GOOD!
@@AZ-zn9lgdont forget the Williams FW45B 2021.
I've never heard anybody ever describe an F1 car as strictly utilitarian. But you're right - it is! Everything has a function. And speed IS that function. That's honestly what makes them beautiful - they are not constrained by the norms of artistic sensibilities in any way, because everything is PURELY for speed.
The show car has more differences from the real car rather than just the lack of engine. The show car body/aero is wildly different. The general shape is the same but if you look at the actual details it is a completely different car.
Normally show cars are very different but not this one. It is a genuine C42 that potentially raced. You can tell by the engine cover, suspension and sidepods.
Its not a car its a carbon fibre model. There are no race car parts on it. Its been nowhere near the race team and doesn't share any components. I know where and how its made
@@Hammertime4404That is wrong . Plenty of visible elements are different. The absence of the tiny whole usually located at the tip of the front wing alone would probably make you unable to survive a race distance .
All show cars now are built from a reference model, real competition cars are customized by teams
11:02 Imaging how good an F1-Driver must be, because they need to be able to leave the cockpit within 7 seconds, otherwise they are not allowed to race! 🤯
I was just about to comment this, because not many people know this key requirement
dude unboxed everything 💀✌🏽
Imagine building a racing sim out of that
Cool to see, as somebody who's just working here for the team in Hinwil, Switzerland. Enjoy.
when you mentioned the paint and competition losing personality, its already happened sorta. the weight saving was so severe this years (2023) most cars got rid of paint to save it. thus more exposed carbon on most of the cars this year.
I know its a showcar but they could have made more effort with the rear wing/drs
Keep up the great unboxing videos!!!
Unboxing an F1 car is truly great!
@@sand.4520Yohane Tsushima also loving these F1 unboxing.
The light in the back is not a brake light. It’s used for the rain and for the battery (ers) and more
the "high up cam" is a tcam and usually it will have a diffrent color on each car to tell them apart.
When it popped, you could almost see Will's soul leave his body for a split second 😂 I don't blame him though. You break , you buy is a whole different ballgame at $250000!
when what popped
@@awsomesaharsh9906 the panel(?) as Will got in
I would love to own one of these... but it's clear the lack of engine is not the only difference from the real one... the rear wing doesn't have DRS capability
Many small things gives away, this isn't the real deal. They would not put the real brakes on this, that alone would eat a substantial part of the budget. And the steering wheel is clearly a plastic replica.
Yeah its a show car.
@@marktucker208 But that's not what the guy in the video said...
You'd have to be super rich to do so, but I'd love to see someone take one of these, remove the steering and pedals and install a high end direct drive simulation wheel and pedal set, then set up a huge triple screen setup in front of the cockpit... you could make a crazy cool sim racing F1 rig...
Not a brake light, tho. It's a light that blinks when is harvesting energy into it's ERS, so it warns people about being potentially slow in corners.
Dude spent literally 15 minutes stating the obvious. He actually said nothing.
Best sport on earth! Hopefully Las Vegas lives up to the hype when F1 rolls into town at the weekend. Plenty of issues to tackle, first race there so the track will be dusty/lack of rubber on the surface, coupled with the expected 4c (39f) temperatures mean it's going to be like driving on ice for the drivers. Hopefully at the speeds they will reach down the 2x main straight they can stay safe.
F1 is boring as hell. Same guy wins every race
@@brianwalker4760 Thankfully most F1 fans don’t only find excitement from 1 single driver, and most level headed fans don’t only think the race result is the only exciting part.
Many of us follow the sport because it’s one of the most complex sports in the world and easily the most strategic sport on earth, it’s a sport for nerds who love to look at Aerodynamic changes to see how it affects the car, sitting and looking at how the temperature on a given day will effect strategy in tyre choice, strategy in pit stops, wing balance and how it affects qualifying.
Most of us understand that F1 is not just a sport of 20 drivers but a sport of thousands of people getting the car to the track.
I completely understand the notion that if you don’t frequently watch F1 and don’t follow the sport then the same driver dominating can on the surface seem boring, but if that’s all you look at then you’re watching the sport in the wrong way and it’s not for you.
it sure did
thats not a break light , raining light for wet race ,and for the light indictor for energy recovery charge the battery and release the energy, usually use for defense when the car behind you in DRS range and try to overtake you .
I sat in the 2017 McLaren at Goodwood, it really is so tight. The drivers have to be able to get out within 5 seconds, this isn't a meh if you can, it's an actual rule which they are tested against.
Orlen in petrol industrial company form Poland
Speechless
Wow. Would have never imagined we are not getting a view from perspective of the person to see how much is this much.
Unbox Therapy went to GOD level , no one is gonna beat him, he is far beyond others reach
Very interesting! You could have been a little better informed about the differences to the real car though. (e.g. DRS actuator, rim covers , headrest, wheel nuts, etc) The aerodynamic elements look highly simplified overall as well . Understandable but you could have mentioned .
The only thing ridiculous is the ride height .
I'm a Brit so Lewis all the way for me!.
So awesome you got one in the studio.
By the way my S21 Ultra Latercase is STILL going strong after 18 months!
‘English’ stop using British it’s not real
Lewis is the goat
could you imagine getting your hands onto the same screen setup that drivers have onto their cars when they pit during practice and quali.
then hook up Multiview F1 app to that and have set of in cars and live timing data on there.
and as a icing on the cake put the main tv broadcast onto the screen on the steering wheel.
then watch the race while sitting in your own F1 car.
Dear Santa! i think if you take a look at your list, you see that i have been REALLY good boy this year.
So there is this F1 car showcar...
As a diehard Genjitsu no Yohane: Sunshine in the Mirror fan, the Alfa Romeo 2022 F1 Car from F1 22 is simply GORGEOUS! The livery design is also reminiscent to 2005 Scuderia Ferrari! ❤
That car is not missing just the engine, it’s also missing drs and several other features
This car and the real race car don't share any components at all. Saying the only difference between that show car and the race car is the lack of an engine is flat out wrong. And if it did, it would cost 8 times that, if not more. And they aren't built by the teams either. Also that's the rain light not the brake light, have you really watched a f1 race? You don't have to lie, you could have just been honest and still presented this fun video.
This is awesome! I don’t even know what I’d do with a full sized replica lmao
Sim rig :)
Have your friends push you down the street while you steer and make vroom! sounds like when you were a kid 😂😂😂
@@fetzie23 TRUE!!!!!!
@@lifeisgood7762 childhood me would love that hahaha
@@fetzie23it would be crazy with that 'Volume' display system from the mandolorian
Oh yeah and the drivers are also in there helmets and gear and everything and they can really look around that much as Hans does limit head movement.
They say everything is spec except for the engine. I see the DRS in the wing isn't installed. It looks like the wing is fixed and the actuator linkage isn't there. I can assume the internal components aren't there as well.
I wonder how realistic it would be to put a K24 in it with a turbo. Could have your own F1 track car lol. I would imagine though that it's a lot more barebones than what he is saying. Suspension/brakes/etc...
Orlen 🇵🇱
4:10 that's a rain light. Used for visibility in rain. Not a brake light.
4:26 formula cars utilize a six point harness. There is a crotch belt, which is fed from underneath the driver, mounted at the same spot as the lap belt.
Edit: looks like for the show car, they have a 5 point belt, which was part of the older specification harnesses from 1995 to 2016(?)
Its the ERS Harvesting light, not a rain light or brake light.
@@jameshall4136 you're trying to be smart and correct him but he's correct, it's called a rain light, it existed before ERS. it's 2nd function is lighting up when harvesting, it can also light up green when someone is driving it without a superlicense.
@@ItsMSQI think they mistook it from the F1 game where if the driver is low on “battery” it starts flashing .
1:34 that car "flys" 🤣
$250k for an F1 car actually doesn’t seem that bad… pretty similar to many other super cars and I’m sure the F1 is more powerful… I’d expect it to be closer to the million mark
It's not one of the real F1 cars from Alfa Romeo/Sauber, but a demo/show car (no DRS at the rear wing). No powerunit included.
Hello fellow Jayden, it's not a real f1 car. It's a show piece.
its just a shell. running f1 car will cost you in the tens of millions
this thing does not even have an engine and transmission
That's just for the shell. The full price of a current F1 car is around $15 million.
While your sat in the cockpit, there is one key element not in place which is the headrest. There is a rule in F1 that drivers with all the fire suits, underwear, boots, gloves, Helmet and HANS device have five seconds to undo seatbelts, remove steering wheel and exit the car after an incident
i believe that drivers have their own personalised sit that you have to take it in with your, you are missing that sit.
4:10 F1 car doesn't have brake light... those are battery charging indicator
i wonder if a show car like this could be modifiable and functional enough to be driven after adding a custom engine and such. surely would be an eye catcher on your local track haha
Great unboxing! I did the same but on the 1/43 version.. HAHA
3:20 why you gotta show my boy Checo crashing out at home :( hahaha
its not a brake light at the end of the car, it is the rain light or ers light, its active if the car charges the batery or when its rainy, it has nothing to do with the brakes
I would love to hear it running
Pretty sure there are old actual F1 cars on auctions somewhere, not show cars, but probably a lot more expensive
I'm so glad you featured Alfa Romeo. Best livery on the grid.
very nice, much details for a collecters item. Hopefully you can own a mercedes one with the petronas branding.
Why don't they step at the side to get out? If those duct can handle air flow at 160kmh pretty sure is strong enough to be step on?
The mast is the strongest part of an f1 car, so that's not a bad place to grab onto.
and dont forget the racer seeing trough the visor helmet
That is such a beautiful piece of engineering
This is crazy! Thank you for this video!
1:35 even that dead fly is measured! lol
It should have some kind of engine, because the it could be turned into a car that can be legally driven on a public street. It just needs turn signals and stuff like that.
That is not a brake light. It flashes when car slows down due to being recharging the battery of ERS system
Did anybody else notice the dead fly @1:34 .. guess it adds to the aerodynamics :)
Best place to grab would be the giant black T as that is what the cranes use to lift the vehicles by.
Looks like good wall art
For anyone wondering since it was not at all explained in this video, THIS kit/show car that is being shown off has nothing in common except from generic visuals and shapes (no aero specific shapes) they are made in bulk by a completely seperate company that specializes in them. Hope this clears it up
This reminds me of the episode on tbbt when the bought a Time Machine. LOL
4:06 i habe no words brake light 🗿😭
1:35
Don’t you worry. What looks like a dead fly is actually part of Alfa Romeos aero package 😂
1:35 a dead fly just chilling on the car
Before they race, drivers must demonstrate they can get out of the car within five seconds would of been hilarious to seen an attempt of that haha
I NEED to get in that cockpit.
Man these are so cool my job got Valtteri bottas’s 2023 car

As a long time American F1 fan it makes me happy we have more American fans like back in the 70s and 80s. If only we could get The Glen back!
wouldn't Watkins be too small for the current cars to race at? although I would love to see a show run there
The Glen is too small for modern F1 cars on top of that the track would have to be updated to Class 1 level to host a race. Its its currently Class 2. US only has two Class 1 circuits, Indy and Austin.
