Your channel is massively under rated. With your current work ethic, this season could be the one that shoots your channel into the best F1 channels available
@@ChrispyNut not as in low ratings from individuals, I meant in terms of viewership & subs when compared to channels like the race, sky sports f1, the official f1 channel etc. It really won't be long until this is considered by many to be one of the best available (if not already)
@@lewisredwood06 Not really and doubtful. This is way too nerdy and technical for most people. The target audience is a small percentage of motor sport followers. In case you hadn't noticed last season, a huge percentage don't even care about the rules, only whether their preferred team/driver gets favourable treatment/results.
@@ChrispyNut You are right with what you say about that audience, but I see it as wider than just that. I also consider this channel appealing to engineers and people who appreciate complex engineering (why i started watching) and also anyone who follows motorsport but doesn't really understand the intricacies of aerodynamics (an awful lot of people). I'm not looking for a battle in the comments section, your viewpoint is valid and I respect it.
It really feels like while Ferrari has tried to innovate with an extreme and very out-there interpretation of the rules, Mercedes decided to adapt and perfect a more conventional and already proven concept. I don't know about the actual racing, but from an engineeristic point of view this is one of the most exciting seasons in decades, F1 teams truly never fail to amaze me.
@@KevinJDildonik Could be, but they also might have smashed it out of the park, we literally have zero way of knowing yet. If you remember the last big rule change in 2017 Ferrari was by far the most innovative on the grid, and went from a winless season straight to challenging for the title. They've been so conservative after 2017-18 that it's really exciting to see them try something so extreme for once. And of course the Merc being competitive is a safe bet, yes, but we really can't know for sure until after Bahrain. I'm not trying to jinx them, but If you saw the 2005 Ferrari before the season started you'd swear it would dominate just like its predecessors, cause why wouldn't it? And to top it all off we're still yet to see whatever monster Newey's genius has birthed in its full (presumed) glory. I'm just hoping for a close fight at the top, and if Ferrari is part of that then it would make it that much better.
@@mesterorange8181 While i wouldn't call the F-14T extreme (certainly not in the same way as the F1-75 and not any more than the W05) that car's main problem was the PU, which was both heavy and _severly_ underpowered, everything else was just a concequence. Don't get me wrong, the Merc was better overall, but switch the PUs and it would've surely struggled to win races. The aero concepts weren't night and day (at the nose at least), but the engines definitely were.
Such an interesting video. Thank you so much. Just a small thing - when you draw over elements of the car, it can sometimes be hard to then remember exactly what I’m looking at as it is covered. I wonder if a brush that was more of a highlight (70%-80% opacity) rather than a solid brush (100% opacity) might help to be able to understand the intricacies of what you are talking about better. Might just be me who is having trouble here but thought I’d mention it. Thanks again
I was about to suggest something similar, because I also feel that at the end of the explanation the picture is hidden under a lot of lines so I can’t see anymore the part. Other channels erase the previous lines when they talk about another element or another think to look on the same picture and I think it would be also more clear and cleaner here too
Agreed,. Maybe a side by side so we can compare the drawing to the actual in real time. Playing with opacity might work but it'd have to be just right and hence would prefer a side by side.
Amazing work your doing! Would be really cool if you could do a series on analysing some of the most creative and successful cars throughout f1 history (Brabham Fan car, lotus 79, Ferrari F2004 etc.)
This is what I want as F1 content! The expertise and the knowledge you have to explain these Aerodynamics to us is not measurable! This is top notch content keep it up!
Best series on the Tube. As a true Red Bull fan I respect Mercedes so much, the best team of the decade and also creator of the killer of a car W11. I know they will be competitive this year, even if they are 2nd or 3rd fastest from the go they'll be a problem down the line, never count this team out. The livery is actually growing on me, it's so classy!
I love F1 and spend tons of time reading articles, looking at pictures, and watching videos like this and i still cannot get my head around the amount of detail and differences you are able to pick out from just these simple shots
Thank you so much for these detailed analyses. Your insider viewpoint, unparalleled understanding, and ability to explain very difficult topics in a palatable manner are truly incredible. I hope your channel becomes one of the main F1 channels and I think it will be with this incredible series! I personally would love to see a video summarizing all the cars where you compare and contrast the most innovative, cheeky, and strange aero bits on each car.
engineers: "with these restrictive rules, all cars will look the same and you can only see marginal differences." expectation: "the top teams will be severely restricted in their developments by the budget cap and cfd time." reality: "by far the most different and complex cars with many technical refinements of the last decades!" I really like these new rules :D

Wow this is just amazing content. It's what I've been looking for on youtube and elsewhere for so long, with very little success. I'm so sick of having to settle for channels like The Race and Autosport for analysis of these cars. They may have some talented journalists, but their technical analysis is always incredibly superficial. And despite the fact that both also have capable technical experts who could actually explain the concepts, they always keep those people hidden from view. Anyway rant over, thanks so much for all the work you put in to this, and for sharing your knowledge with us!
I was worried thinking you might have skipped the Merc analysis. But given the long leave and assuming more junior (no offence, but just not Allison type) you should be able to do whatever you want to help your own interests. Like dropping all that sweet, sweet sweet aero knowledge. Best channel on F1 right now, makes the launches exciting. RUclips F1 engineering was what got me into the sport in the first place, including you racing stuff. Wish I had the money and time for more advanced stuff.
I didn't see anything like this last year so your channel will make F1 vastly more enjoyable for me. I started following the sport just after the great Jim Clark died and back then the magazines would have some technical articles. Today's video coverage falls short in that area, thus I'm very grateful for your efforts.
Kyle: In this video we're going to walk through all the different aero devices on this W13 Toto: NO KYLE, NO NO NO KYLE, THAT WAS SO NOT RIGHT Bose headphones: ...
I have been waiting and visiting your channel since this morning for this video 😀😀😀😀 lobe the channel man, thanx for the incredible analysis and insight
Watching this video is quite interesting when you are talking about the sidepod given the context that they ditched this style and went for a "zero-sidepod" concept from the bahraim test. Shows how much thought goes into any concept.
Thank you so much for this videos, i have to recognise that this videos when you are tired makes you fall asleep 😅, yesterday i falls asleep with the ferrari video ahahsh, but is so interesting, maybe i don't really know some words, but with your drawing i kinda understand nearly all, i love it!
Isn't it great to see your old collegues work finally ? I find it amazing how Mercedes's approach is so different to other teams and that every teams has its own concept this year !
Just found your channel through this video. It's great to hear from an aerodynamicist instead of a journalist. I need to watch your earlier videos to understand everything you're saying but don't worry, that's a good thing! Long chord is something I want to learn about.
9:07 looks like you have drawn a displeased face! Loving the videos though keep up the good work. Once launch season is over could you do the Porsche Le Mans Prototype?
Great channel, great content. I'm 25 and into motorsport/F1 since I was 5. Particularly interested in the tech side and that's what I needed. Keep up the good job, I really like your videos!
Good to see so many teams coming up with differing interpretations of the new rules. Not long now before we see if there's anybody with it spot-on straight out of the box.
It’s because all levels of media won’t use live footage for articles they will all use high quality render images released so this way they have most eyes looking at old designs.
Kyle, you're gonna go a LONG WAY on youtube, i suggest you invest in a good editor, mainly in graphics and more, it will push your channel to new hieghts
Huge differences between rendered model and real one is like from some kind of a meme. Like "mom i want a new mercedes f1 car. -Son, but we have mercedes f1 car at home. Mercedes car at home: ... ", or "expectations vs reality".
Perhaps the back is a new tactic for “malicious aero”. Since cars will in theory be closer together, if you design the car so the trailing air is disorganized or disruptive, it can make you a difficult car to follow or overtake. Just a random thought.
This was amazing, thank you for helping us understand what's really going on with these cars. As someone who loves F1 and would love to understand the cars more, you are incredible at explaining it. So please keep doing this as they keep testing and changing the cars. Amazing job and subscribed!
Thank you🙂 Last year i watched Mark Priestley F1 2021 videos but i think yours are better. As a very long time F1 fan i really like technical videos like this. Sad to not be able to spectate winter testing in Montmelo, i go there every year usually.
I love this series you're my fave, But it would be nice if you would at the end of your video give us a quick summary of your overall thoughts, So we get a better idea of how you feel about each car compared to the others in terms of overall potential, maybe rate or grade their potential as you see it or your favorites to least. I don't know just an idea, take care!
Will we see less riding over the kerbs to protect the floors? Will the car become much more unstable if it lifts off the ground if floor suction is lost, compared to previous generation of cars?
Once all the cars have been launched, can you perhaps do a slightly more opinion-driven bit where you order the cars to your personal preference? Which ones do you think will work best? What concepts would you have gone for if you would have to design a car from scratch? And who's going to kick-off best in Bahrain? :)
These are great. You use the term “cranked” an awful lot and for non-aerodynamicists it might be helpful to understand a bit. Maybe flash up a definition in text onscreen so folks can follow.
Great aero analysis! But what about the diffuser? Also interesting to see the placement of the pitot tubes on the floor. You can see where they are trying to maximise downforce through the floor for the driver. Maintaining effective sealing off the floor as much as possible also seems to be one of their goals for drivability.

Love these reveiws. Wish this sort of analysis would have been done back when indy cars had the aero kits.
I bet that the strake on the rear of the bargeboard is a smart use of the tyre temperature sensor, same as they have on their front wing.

*_Thanks for making me feel smarter than what I am,_* even though I didn't understand half of your explanations. LOL! 😏
Great work!
These are great. You use the term “cranked” an awful lot and for non-aerodynamicists it might be helpful to understand a bit. Maybe flash up a definition in text onscreen so folks can follow.
Watch me crank it watch me roll! Watch me crank that ...aerodynamics?
He's referring to relative peak loading points.
Basically the concavity/angle
Yes I would like an explanation from Luke as well.
Great aero analysis! But what about the diffuser? Also interesting to see the placement of the pitot tubes on the floor. You can see where they are trying to maximise downforce through the floor for the driver. Maintaining effective sealing off the floor as much as possible also seems to be one of their goals for drivability.
From memory, I don't think that they ever showed the diffuser. Teams tend to try to hide that
They didn't show it so he cant really comment
When 2014 came in, It was quite clean looking compared to others, and they were on fire
Your content and knowledge is amazing and exactly the content I have always wanted from formula 1 . Thank you
Looking forward to a video on the sidepodless version of the W13
Love it how the renders are different. The Haas looks completely different to their render, so maybe worth revisiting that haha?
