Its amazing
Absolutely spectacular video, loved it
Of course, these videos are amazing af
Absolutely, love it mate!
Did not expect this new form from you, but your work up to this point has been true quality. Keep up the good work!
idc with what people say this that. verstappen this, hamilton that. But W11 paired with Hamilton. absolute scary. just casually flatout on corner. a monster.
Ok

When I see people online say how Red Bulls 2023 year was way more dominant than that of Mercedes,I could never put my finger on why it felt like the Merc was somehow more dominant. But that first part about the Mercedes lapping everyone up until places as high as 3rd made it make sense. That car was on a different planet at the majority of tracks.
U said it right. To add to this last year we had 6 more races than in 2020.
Merc fans ig 🤷
I mean it is. Don’t get me wrong 2020 possibly would I have been more dominant if that season had more races but redbull won 22 out of 23 races last season. You can’t ignore that.
@@SwaggySimon20 Of course I think red-bull hit the ground running with their concept and as a team nailed their strategies struck a good balance between quali and race setups and didn’t make many mistakes but the field and racing was a lot closer due to latest regs, and Mercedes around 2020 time was all of what I just said plus an absolute alien of a car, apart from a few team mistakes that potentially cost the team of a 100% win rate
@@NerdybettaWhy do you seperate between fans of different teams? We are all fans of f1, thats the main point.
Great car, great animation, great info.
Genuinely one of the best F1 channels on yt rn. 🔥
Thank you so much! Still a lot to improve on but glad you enjoy the content 🙏❤️
yeah your animations are top notch while you might have some areas to improve pretty much the most concsise f1 content@@formulaaddict
W11+ engine Brazil 2021,F1 dream car .
Erroneous. The 2021 engine was no different in specification than the races prior.
The only dİfferent is engine was fresh.@@Bahamuttiamat
@@ErenUler agreed.
@@ErenUler higher engine mode as you say
+ qualifying party mode + Pirelli Hypersoft tyre = God Mode
You're KILLING IT with these videos 👏👏👏
hi tommo i luv ur content
Thank you Tommo! Still got a lot to improve on but I really appreciate that coming from you sir 🙏❤️
Tommo!!!!
That combination between W11 and Lewis is simple unstoppable. Legend stuff.
I'm a Red Bull guy myself, but to me you're right: the W11 was an amazing car and the most dominant car in F1 history. Everyone wants to talk about the RB19 but I'm more of the belief that the W11 (looking at the data) was even better. Lewis Hamilton is an all-time great and the W11 was his best car by far. Great video!
the most sensible redbull fan ive ever seen, thank you
dominant and fastest can be 2 different things
RedBull fan, right..
yeah but it wasn't as reliable as the rb19 but without some of its issues and Hamilton getting covid, Hamilton could have won about 15 of the 17 races.
max kept Hamilton from breaking Vettel's nine in a row which says if max was in the W11 my guy now that sounds scary
It's interesting how Michael and Lewis carrers specially late are so similar, both had the best car ever basically in their 7th and final title, and later they fought for their 8th in a evolution of that car but both lost to a young phenom. Michael in 2006 with Alonso with the evo of the 2004 car and Lewsis to Max in 2021 with evo of the 2020 car.
I'm pretty sure the change in regs slowed the Mercedes car down (and those who had low rake cars e.g. Force India), high rake cars like Red Bull had a positive gain in performance to Mercedes for 2021, which in turn gave us a hell of a season. I think the change impacted rear downforce?
@@vHiddenAce Yes indeed, those regs were delivered invented to end the dominance of Mercedes, Same as with the 2005 regs to mess up Ferrari and Brigedstone
@@ale69420 That wasn't his point...the loss in performance was a byproduct of the change in regs
@@vHiddenAcethey neutered Mercedes and Hamilton still clawed it back and would have won if it wasn’t for Michael Massi
James Allison cooked with W11 then boom FIA changed some rules for next year and cars got slower. Imagine if they kept the same rules how fast this car could have been? I guess we'll never know.😢
Would’ve been so cool
There's only so much you can get out of the car and mercedes were almost on the limit of the regulations. Just like now, redbull can only make small progress now and more teams will eventually catch up later this season, if not next
@@Return_of_Ep1cc Nope u are wrong u don't know how fast the W12 would have been if there were not changes in regulations.
I mean, it was kinda necessary, since Pirelli tyres couldn't take the immense aerodynamic loads these cars produced.
@@Return_of_Ep1cc No one catching Redbull until 2026
You also forgot to mention the fact that Max Verstappen had a brand new engine during the 2020 Abu Dhabi Race and that Red Bull cranked it to the max.
On today’s episode of “Incredibly obvious puns that were missed”
Mercedes could have done the same in 2023. Yet they didn’t
The W11 would have had the most records if they had a full calendar. It would have been nuts
What a Machine for such a Phenomenal driver. It was a match made in heaven.
You didn't mention that at the 2nd round at Silverstone pirelli changed tyre allocation to a softer one to prevent 1 stop strategy attempts and the Merc, as Toto Wolff said, put to much energy in those softer tyres in the high speed corners making the car a tyre destroyer, they had blistering after 2 laps. So they lost cause the car was too good ( too much downforce to handle for the tyres).
bro this video is just SO GOOOOOOOD I LOVE THIS
What and amazing quality content this guy gives. Loved it. God bless you
Thank you for watching sir! Really appreciate it
you got yourself a new subscriber, great vid!
Welcome sir! Hoping to serve better videos weekly 🙏🚀
Legendary car combined with a legendary driver = unstoppable Mercedes
Here before a war on which driver is the best will begin
@@nirvanjain he didn't say "the best" just Legendary and we can all agree
@@dardelune26 ay man im with lewis hamilton too i figured some max stans would even argue on this
love these long videos keep it up🙌
Thank you! It’s a hard transition but hopefully will adjust to it
Video format is super creative👏
Could you make a video about Renault rs01, it's the first f1 car to have a turbo charger, not many people have made a video about that car and your format would make it fun to watch
Thank you sir, 🙏 Really appreciate the video request, will definetly look into more retro cars that people don’t really know ❤️
You're doing good work
You just create incredibly good videos. Where do these 3D graphics come from? Are you made them?
One thing about this video as a Mercedes fan, Lewis sitting in the W11 but he wearing the 2023 helmet and gloves. 😌
these videos are AWESOME! i can imagine how long the models took to make!
Thank you so much! This particular one took 4 full days. But I’ll hopefully get better at it and cut the time
Best f1 vids rn.❤❤
Thank you so much 🙏❤️🚀
Thank you for the longer videos!
This generation of F1 cars looked the best imo
i can't wait to see what James Alison has done with the 2024 in Bahrain. so far it looks unique for sure
Its such a shame that we didn't get to see this car in the hands of Lewis at tracks like Suzuka and Monaco. I hope we get a chance to see this car do atleast a shake down lap again
but remember, because of covid we got tracks we might never see in f1 again like mugello
Well done
I saw on track his successor W12 and was a best of his kind, sadly due to pandemics, w11 didn't race at Interlagos.
James Alison also built this car to compete with the evolution of the 2019 monster ferrari ( during season they thought it would get faster next year) but fia clarifications put an end to that so it was built for a non existent competitor. 👌
Great video! I wonder how the Redbull will stack up.
Good video bro.
Thank you sir! Glad you liked it 🙏
High quality as usual
Thank you 🙏
As always, amazing! what software do you use for animations? Cheers!
Thank you so much, I use Blender
@@formulaaddict really!? I didn't know it was this capable! It looks amazing!
I want these Regulaitons back. I loye these F1 Cars from 2018 to 2021
Lets hope the next car build bye james alison will br remebered the same way❤
Greatest true F1 car and driver ever!
How do you build your models and animations? They are so good
This beast must be reawaken and updated to satisfy current regulations
Hi formula addict, what render engine are you using. Quality looks good
Thank you! I use Blender
Makes me wonder how much faster the W12 could have been if they change the floor regs for 2021.
It would’ve sucked up the tarmac and the Pirelli tyres would’ve exploded because of how much downforce it would’ve produced.
Este coche hubiera volado en monaco, Singapur, suzuka entre otros hubiese sido genial verlo en esos circuitos
Was the best, is the best, will be the best...
Legendary car
Even with this beast of a car...
W11 + Lewis Hamilton = Perfection
I hope Mercedes lets him do glory laps around the world with this car
I find the W11 much more dominant and fascinating but the RB19... has been the same kind of beast... the main difference is that the W11 was INSANE because of all the downforce and all the regulations that let constructors make their cars real DOWNFORCE beasts while the 2023 regulations (or more the 2022) are more on ground-effect and much more restrictive... but nonetheless those 2 cars are the beasts of each regulation era.
Interesting that ham 7th title is like Schumachers 7th title with the fastest F1 car
You had to be there 🏎
really cool video... don't you think the f2004 with full slicks would be quicker?
imagine how much faster merc could have made the W12 if there was no reg change
Im new too this channel , how do you do this videos???
Hamilton is the greatest driver of history. 3 world champion in the same car and beat them all. Something Max will never achieve even if he breaks all the records
The W11 was the legend with the worst story yet is talked about with positivity. The W11 rose in the wrong time because of the COVID pandemic yet it's talked with respect. Literally when I see this car I get goosebumps.
people often point to the F2004 and say, had it had slicks, it would have been faster than the W11. First of all, No. Second of all, the Mercedes needs to carry 100kg of fuel to finish a race without refueling. The F2004 would need to carry about 190kg of fuel to finish the race at full speed, which the car is too small to carry. Lastly, the Mercedes is only using HALF as much fuel as the F2004. If we allow both to use slicks, and the same amount of fuel, the Mercedes would pump out 1600+hp.
Can’t believe it’s already been 4 years?!!!
W11 was a beast. Looking forward to an RB19 breakdown. Great explanation on DAS. Love your channel!
Side note: Amazing visuals and animation. Be nice if you cut to some full screen footage once in a while as well vs just in the tv monitor. Just my two cents.
Muhteşem bir video
well now we seen RB 20 in Action
Can you imagine how scary the W12 would have been had the regs not changed for 2021?
It's not a secret as it's been called Lewis Hamilton
Estoril circuit ❤
ngl red bull kinda coming close to this beast shows how skilled verstappen is....coming from die hard lewis fan
aaahm this was the RB19 form last year
The 2020 Merc with the DAS system is the fastest F1 car of all time. right before the FIA brought in the skirts & less down force.
Lovely
Thats a honda, merc was just the co. That took over the car when Honda left.
nice
If only they kept the rules same and the 2021 cars got FASTER instead of slower
Id love to see Adrian Newey give his 2c on how the W11 could be improved from his perspective.
That will be so sick
And the thing is, it likely doesn't exist anymore, as they used the same chassis to make the W12. Anybody feel free to correct me but I am pretty sure thats the case.
Well that's what over $400M budget will get you.
If we put latifi in the w11 and put hamilton in 2019 williams, who would win? On a full race distance as well
you show the w11 as only winning 1 trophy 6:08 for example but it did win both constructors and drivers championship it was the w12 that only won constructors.
これは興味深いです
Car is originally a honda
coolest part, (If I'm not mistaken) This car is from a era where there was no budget cap, unlike Redbull of 2023
Hello i hope this year will b mercedes year 2024 of wining driver champion n fast car❤
Bamb44❤❤
W11, an immovable object built to clash with an unstoppable force (SF1000) which never showed up 😢😢
what about Schumacher with the F2004?
What $450 million per year budget gets you.
Take that away and you start eating dust.
What are they supposed to do not use it?
Please do one on RB19
Nah that car isn't even close to W11
when are you going to talk about Vettel's Redbull car?
great vid but please no black cars with black background
Ham: Bono my tyres are gone
OH really Mr. Hamilton???
Also Lewis: *Instantly spams fastest lap after fastest lap*
Well they definitely were gone at silverstone that year
@@Giratina575 yeah,one of them is really gone,and Lewis still somehow wins it
F2004: remember me????
I hope one day if verstappen joins Mercedes they let him drive the w11
RB19 next I guess?!
Hamilton says he faced more competition than others.
If floor edges weren't banned . Mercedes would have killed the competition in 2021 .
I saw a video of Ralf Schumacher driving his Williams 2003 F1 car using slicks from the 2023 cars and his car was FASTER than any hybrid F1 car and only half a second slower than the 2023 cars. And Ralf hasn't raced in 14 years. Granted, the rules were different in the early 2000's.
I don't care what anyone says, the early 2000's was literally the best years of F1.
purple helmet for 2020?
Highlighter yellow is hideous.
The absolute german engineering F1 car
The W11 is the modern day Ferrari F2004
The car was Lewis Hamilton DNA
🏁🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏁
i hope merc sees this vid lol
I'm convinced the F2004 on the same tires would be quicker. F1 cars can go 4/5 seconds quicker on slicks.
When Verstappen fans says Verstappen F1 now is dominating 2022 to 2023
They forgot the Mercedes Weapon W11 😂
