The way they produce F1 nowadays gives you basically no sense of speed. Sadly it's all about making the ads on the cars as visible as possible. If you want a good sense of the speed difference between everything from road cars to F1 then search on RUclips something like "cars F1 comparison Eau Rouge". The speed difference is really crazy and basically all cars looks standing still or they are out just on a Sunday cruise in comparison to F1. Really good watch for a few minutes.
Also the way the cameras are set up these days, don't give us the sense of speed. They are directed to keep the cars centre of screen and follow to zoom in on sponsors. That's why we hardly see stationary cameras these days, or long shots of corners on the exit.
People don't give enough credit to Maylander. To drive the SC at a pace to allow drivers to maintain temp while matching race control's direction and keeping marshals enough time to clear up debris safely is underrated. Well done to him
He is doing his job, part of a team, fully connected with Telemetry and instructions from the race director. Should we also give more credit to the helicopter pilots that fly the cameras, the paramedics and doctors on standby who also race round the track at the start. Everyone does their job that they are highly trained for.
@@iain8837 Cuz giving props to these people and praising them for once is a crime right? They are all there ready to go and do what is needed for the extreme safety to give you a fun event at home and bring f1 to life.
You never realise how fast the safety car is going until you see it in real life - stand on a high speed corner (Silverstone - beckets corner for example) watch the safety car slide through it on maximum attack - while the F1 cars behind look so so so so slow compared to their usual speeds and still weaving left and right while the safety car has left huge black marks from the tyres sliding.. Only then do you realise how fast F1 cars go round corners.
I was able to go to an Indy car race in the very late 90's. Believe the pace car was a corvette. I couldn't believe how hard they were pushing that car around the track. Tires howling every corner. Indy cars not even breaking a sweat. Was pretty cool.

People joke that the safety cars have sounded better than the F1 cars since 2014, but they really, really do. Driving that Aston must put a permanent smile on your face.
@@MainInternetUser Yeh being there its pretty loud. Loud for a car. But its only kinda like a "hhhhhhhhhhh" sound. Not the old screeching wich we grew up with. But thats fine imo.
I disagree. The safety car sounds like it's backfiring every time the driver takes his foot off the accelerator, and it kinda sounds rough when accelerating. With F1 cars, yes it's a bit high pitched, but it's much smoother - it just sounds more well-engineered. (And the pinned WW11 vs RB19 shows that the WW11 doesn't even have that high pitched sound, so even better.) I actually heard that with a lot of fast road cars (perhaps including this Aston), the manufacturer spends a lot of time making sure it sounds "good" even if doing that makes it less efficient...
@@Vousie Perhaps it's all just a matter of tastes. Noisiness doesn't necessarily equate to a lack of engineering perfection. On downshifts I would rather hear pops, crackles and bangs than the short fart sounds many modern road cars make nowadays, and on acceleration I'd rather hear a throaty growl or scream from a car than the current "brrrr" sounds we get. Remembering back around 15 years ago, I'd say F1 cars had more character when they where using blown diffusers and were firing off like a machine gun in the braking zones, but that was also fully to do with getting the most out of the car. When F1 switched to 1.6L engines in 2014, a decision to go with inline 4 cylinders would have probably satisfied the audiences more, as the current V6 don't give the impression they're working particularly hard and have a monotonous tone, where as i4s sound like they're on the edge and can achieve a variety of sounds. Then you have Top Fuel Dragsters, cars and engines that operate at the limit of physics, sounding thunderous at idle with it's firing order, then like it's ripping the atmosphere apart when at 8-9k rpm.
That casual acceleration while weaving from the Red Bull to the Safety Car that was already doing 180kmh @ 0:50 is one of the most scariest things ever.
I often forget it is Bernd Maylander driving. The SC sort of becomes invisible. The man is an absolute legend of DTM which was a major (and cool) series back in his prime days. It really helps to have such a competent race driver operating the SC.
Mad respect to the medial car and Safety car drivers they don’t hold back. I’ve been to the Melbourne GP in 2016 and even when entering the pits they go hard and pull up last second they wanna squeeze everything they can out of their vehicles while still keeping it on track.
For anyone interested: there is a Beyond the grip episode with the Safety-car Bernd Mayländer available on Spotify and other streaming-apps. In the episode he mentions who likes to get very close to the safety car and how is well mannered and keeps a constant distance 😂
I went to the race on Saturday and sat in grandstand 12 - at corner 1-2. I was able to see both the safety car and medical car flooring the throttle as they exit the corners. It was drifting a bit. Yes they do push really hard. To check the tracks grip level for safety before the qualifying.
Cool! Id like to see them show SC telemetry/onboards more often. aside from advantageous pitstops and car recoveries theres usually not a lot going on anyway during SC. Theyre both really cool cars as well IMO, this sounds wicked.
Maylander is probably one of the most uniquely talented and qualified drivers in the world. He deserves a shout out every race for doing a Stirling job to keep the sport safe and entertaining.
I love that the safety car is actually frickin fast and yet the F1 cars could drive in circles around it without problems! These speeds and this power is inconceivably awesome
The sound you hear in the F1 car in the video is what the driver hears in the cockpit, although its not a V8 or V10 anymore that V6 is ridiculously load and sounds way better at the track as it has no Muffler!
@@thomashayhurst6547The Mercedes is a Black Series with way more aggressive aero and 100 hp more from the same basic engine. So it would still be interesting to see.
The view from the savety car back at the F1 cars and you could think it's pulling away out of the corners. But if you then look at the safety car from the F1 car and how it feels like there is no distance at all and how quickly it closes, it really shows you - even with safety car conditions - how important perspective is in order to be able to assess things correctly.
I dont watch formulas but coming from GT racing its amazing to see that what looks like Vantage GT3 cruising along is warmup pace for F1. Even when pushing the formulas are just crusing
Funny thing is that the safety car pushed so much even though he should have waited for the pack to form when lando was leading. This was deliberate action to help mclaren.

Actually crazy the f1 car is doing the zig zag at 200 km/h. I knew the cars looks slow in the TV but I never guessed they were going 200 doing that.
the faster they go the more downforce they produce so if the tyres are not worn they could weave near top speed if they wanted to
look up a short video called "f1 2006 cars were so handy" that's a proper zig zag at 200kph
