I would also give credit to Pirelli. Multiple stop races are common this season, and it's way more exciting than 1-stoppers. As for the red bull team order, I think the only part that is unfair is that the team didn't repay the favor back to Checo when Max was stuck behind Russell with Checo on much faster and fresh tire.
Correct, and hardly any flats. No blown ones and more robust against damage during contact. Apart from smaller side surface also due to new aero design rules.
Sorry but all of that's nonsense. The compound deltas and deg are pretty much as they were last year. All that's changed is cars can follow easier, and so, a race with more stops - that's theoretically faster but requires more time in other cars' dirty air and overtaking them - is now more feasible. Pirelli have been doing exactly what f1 have asked them to do for at least a decade now. The cars just fit better now
@@davidcormack375 Don't forget that these cars are new and tire management has lots of variables that have to do with how the car drives as well. The longer these cars are being developed the better tire management gets and thus tire degredation will become less and less.
This channel much better than WTF1. You talk to us like we’re adults not children. Beautiful animations and the even better info without all the bs. And you don’t try and cram complex topics into a 5 minute window. Loving it bro keep up the good work.
An advantage of the gills : The hot air is not brought back in contact with the engine and other components. The disadvantage is that it may interfere with the air flow around aerodynamic surfaces.
I love these videos where everything is explained as clear and simple as it can be explained but the viewer doesn't feel like they're been treated as stupid. Great work as always
I've been watching F1 for a few years now. And along with it, your channel. Thanks for all the incredibly well explained complex technical details that would otherwise just fly over my head. Always looking forward to a new video, and with these GP Talking Points, it's always a nice way to look back at the race without emotion filled bias a few days after the race.
@@ryanjonathanmartin3933 yeah they still are .3/.4 tenths a lap slower in race pace to red bull/ferrari so yeah it will take red bull to falter for Merc to be legit going for wins.
2:11 Yeet the heat is my new catchphrase for anything remotely to do with thermodynamics. Oh, your computers running slow? Yeet the heat! Man its hot, well better yeet that heat! Hmmm, need to dry this, yeet it into the heat!
Bottas should have pitted for softs on lap 50-51. Its beyond me why they didn't. from being 20 seconds ahead of 6th place he fell to 20 behind Carlos. So 40 Seconds in 15 laps. He would have retaind 4th place of at least 5th.
When Mercedes claims they are back in the title fight, I think they are way too optimistic. Leclerc was around 10-15s ahead of Russel before his DNF, Verstappen lost around 5-10s with his gravel visit, Sainz lost around 20s.
@@Reydriel still merc is easy .4 sec to .8 sec slower in race pace. Yes they are making gains but so is Red Bull. Ferrari on other hand again is failing at stategy and reliability. I mean SAME GUY since 2015 has been head stategy at ferrari..... wonder why they keep repeating things?
About the team orders, Stew nailed it on the head. That’s exactly right. You don’t have to tell the guy “let him through”. Just tell him that the other guy is coming, and to keep it clean. Easy. Max can keep it clean, right? Right?
Another really interesting video. Thanks! Would be great to learn more about the cost cap and how inflation/energy prices could play into this season. Was watching Ted's qualifying Monaco notebook and said "can you imagine how much energy it takes to power a wind tunnel?" - no, not really but a lot you would assume?!
This season, ruducing weight is very crucial. One of the part which can be slimmed down is.. the engine's cooling system and amount of coolant. That's why we saw many problems related to cooling. IMHO. Thank you.
I'm still excited about Monaco, even the cars are supposed to be worse there. I think that "worse" means "harder to drive", which could turn into a lot of chaos and interesting moments... I still think they should make something different for Monaco, less practices, multi part/day qualy... put more of the exciting stuff in the weekend!
So far, "worse" has meant "incompatible with the circuit". With the cars being too wide for the streets of Monaco, racing is a procession with little to no overtaking at all. I don't know if the 2022 cars will be any better on Monaco streets. The only Monaco race I can watch at this point is the Monaco e-prix. Formula E cars are so much more suited to the street circuit. I can really see the track shine with ample chaos and overtaking opportunities to keep me at the edge of my seat through and through.
@@sarthakmohanty997 oh, for sure they won't be great for racing. I'm just hoping for more chaos in general, and hopefully rain to make it even worse... I enjoyed the Historic Monaco GP a lot a couple of weeks ago, it's amazing to see those cars being raced even if it's not by the best of drivers they're quite a lot of fun to watch.
oh dude... worse doesn't mean harder to drive, it means shit racing for us fans to watch. I'd imagine not very fun for the drivers either since they want to attack and pass and go two wide which isn't really possible at this track with these current generation (WIDE BOI) F1 cars. I hope I'm wrong but this will be a boring procession after Quali...
To understand the crazy heat rejection, it's useful to subjectively quantify the amount of heat being rejected. As some napkin-math, if you assume the car outputs about 1000hp, and is about 40% thermally efficient, that means it's rejecting somewhere around 1100-1200KW of heat. So like 500-700 standard space heaters. Additionally, many of their components are designed to run most efficiently at their race temp; being to hot makes them softer, being too cool may mean more rubbing.
Rain on race day at Monaco has the potential to make it an even more boring race. If the whole race is wet, everyone will just start on intermediate tyres and go to the end of the race without making a pitstop. Sure it might theoretically be faster to stop halfway through for new inters, but since you can't overtake at Monaco, especially not in wet conditions without DRS, losing track position by making a pitstop essentially means losing points. It might be a race with literally no overtakes at all and not even the potential for pitstop strategy to come into play. ' With how slow the hairpin is, being 6 meters behind the car in front at the hairpin at 50 km/h already means well over 4 tenths behind there, with literally no way to get to a shorter time delta because the car is just that size.
I have a question. At any point in time did f1 cars used DCT transmission? And if so what is the difference between the DCT transmission and the current transmission they are using now. Ok I think thats more than 1 question. Please keep the videos coming
Do you think that with the new restrictions on budget and development, teams are having to sacrifice a bit on quality which is leading to more reliability issues?
No ferrari and others knew performance mods where locked this year and beyond. But reliability is not. So you go 100% performance and fix reliabiloty later if needed. That said red bull is a combo of issues while ferrari is smoking turbos and engines non stop. So ferrari is at bigger risk
@@captaintoyota3171 well it isn't just PU issues that the teams have been having. Mclaren have had loads of issues with brake cooling and RB with rear wings and DRS. However I'm not convinced that the teams are going to be sacrificing reliability to fix later. The old adage 'to finish first, first you must finish'. The penalties for new engines are so harsh these days and reliability is baked into the PU formula. This season is ferrari best chance of winning (although that looks over now) so I don't think they'd intentionally develop an unreliable PU. Historically the last engine freeze during the v8s the reliability fixes was used as an excuse to equalise the PUs so I think it was Renault were allowed to upgrade it to give us much power as Mercedes but used the excuse of reliability upgrade
1-2 is a 1-2 no matter who is at the front so there’s no difference for the team. I say ban team orders again and police every “Fernando is faster than you” hard.
I think they should have let Max and Sergio race, just tell them if you crash into each other you're both getting a talking to from Helmut Marko and they'd fight cleanly
Hamilton didn’t pull back the time by taking one less pit stop. He made 3 as your diagram showed, that time he made back was actual pace. Even thought the first stint was not a real stint the pit stop was still made.
Fun fact Mercedes is not back. As much is the F1 commentators want to yell. "Mercedes is back and still in the title hunt !! ". They are not any better than a 5th place car on their best day so long as Ferrari and RedBull don't make massive mistakes. They are not in the championship hunt for a title this year . So please every time they are fast in any of the practices rembember we are just talking about practice.
He's outperforming his teammate every race and he's ahead of Charles with 1 more DNF than him. if that's not enough, what does he need to do to earn it?
Let Perez get passed. If he wants the wins he needs to be out qualifying max. He usually can't keep within 10 seconds of max in a race. I mean where else would he go anyway?
Hamilton was fastest man on track at one point, so yes he could have won if he didn't get a puncture, possibly 2nd. Merc back? Not quite, they still have a lot of work to do to disrupt the current status quo. Team orders, bunch of bullshit yet again from RBR.
I don't know, they were running low fuel as you see, both Russell and Hamilton were struggling to finish the race and had to lift and coast all the last laps. Probably could have been up in the podium, but not win it.
"Disrupt the current status quo" You mean, put back in the lead the team who won the title for the last 8 seasons? Merc fans complaining about team orders? Valtteri Bottas is heading to your location right now.
@@rbtoca lift and coast does not always mean low fuel. Chainbear even spoke about how it was related to a cooling fluid leak. Merc was probably fine on fuel.
Since F1 engines aren't running in sub 4°C temperatures, you wouldn't use Glycol, as that increases the viscosity and lowers the specific heat capacity of the coolant. Since you want to minimize losses in the system, you want a small cooling system, with the most efficient coolant, which is pure water in this case.
I would also give credit to Pirelli. Multiple stop races are common this season, and it's way more exciting than 1-stoppers.

The way I explain it to customers (part time mechanic) is that the cooling system is the only thing keeping your engine from cannibalizing itself.
internal combustion engine becomes external combustion engine
I can say from experience that oil is also important in preventing the worst knock knock joke you ever heard.
@@cavemanindustries5102 usually if they have that problem they don't even make it to me
Sounds like a part time answer
After which you need to explain 'cannibalizing' to them. Not a very good explanation, me thinks.
