I like how this channel is racing/F1 focussed, but not on the sport itself, but everything surrounding it. Giving us a wonderful insight in how these processes, which nobody thinks about, run smoothly.
@@twanhams2635 Formula E has much smaller team budgets than F1, and if I'm not mistaken there's more standardized parts. You can probably assume the jobs of the crew and factory staff are less complicated than an F1 team's. 'Easier' is harder to answer - Formula E teams' performance is a lot closer to each other, so driver skills play a bigger part in who comes out on top (as opposed to F1, where a Merc not making it to Q3 is basically impossible). And while the cars are slower, they usually race on street circuits (which have zero margin for error). Strategy is presumably a lot more difficult to develop as a result.
@@twanhams2635 this question can be answered from many perspectives, but there's 2 main angles to look at. 1. The drivers in FE have the same skill as the drivers in F1 as all drivers have the same training and they all usually come from the same junior racing series' such as F2. So, FE is not easier to race in than F1 as in you still need to be better than the drivers around you, and the drivers around you are the some of the best in the world of motorsport. 2. FE is easier than F1 in terms of physicality. F1 is higher top speeds, higher cornering speeds, longer races and longer tracks. FE is 1 hour long, narrower tracks and lower top speed. If you look at it that way, F1 drivers have to be physically fitter than FE drivers and they experience more G-forces than FE drivers. But this is only because E-tech has been in development far shorter than combustion power and F1 has. In the near future F1 and FE will become more and more similar as FE evolves to have better power units and better batteries, and as F1 evolves to become more sustainable. Hope this answered your question. :)
Being able to hear the communication between the drivers and engineers is one of the things I love so much about F1. Without it, it would be a little boring. Such a unique thing to a sport, being able to hear live reaction's and not PR answers in front of a camera after the fact.
Great vid as always, Matt! Really appreciate these behind-the-scenes technical insights. An idea for a future video: how does track timing/transponder systems work? I tried to look into it once and came across some fascinating posts on a forum somewhere, from an engineer who operates the timing systems. Apparently they have to arrive a week in advance to certain F1 circuits, to drill underground timing loops into the road surface…
WOW... I'm 2 vides into Matt Amys' collection and I am in LOVE! You deserve hundreds of thousands of Subscribers! great work, keep this up and you will be an F1 RUclips Giant in no time!
1:52 Hold up holdup… 1.9 Gigabytes/sec?? Faster than most peoples connections at home? That’s faster than any connection period… that’s 15.2 Gigabits/sec, or 15,200 Megabits/sec… on a good day, I can get 200-300 megabits/sec… the F1 upload speeds are 50-75 TIMES FASTER than my WiFi at it’s best… the fastest WiFi I’ve heard of is gigabit WiFi… so even that is 15 times slower than the F1 car in its garage… absolutely mind boggling
New subscriber here, great content! It's sad that it took YT so long to finally show this to me, totally unfair to creators like you. Best of luck and thanks!
Great video! I got a set made by Ultimate Ear in the UK for motorcycle riding. They are incredible, especially with the Bluetooth connection. Super useful to keep the roaring wind to a minimum and hear the gps without having to look down. Sound like an ad, but they really are that good ^^
The earpieces are very similar to in-ear monitors (IEMs) used by musicians on stage at concerts. The difference is that the IEMs have better sound quality and are usually in stereo.
Fun fact, Carlos Sainz had to bite a piece of rubber when his earplugs were made... (not really, I know, but singers are recommended to let the silicon set with their mouth slightly open (Smoooth operator ...)😁😁
you would imagine the race teams/track would just have a tplink wireless base station or cpe aerials all using the same ssid around the track and an aerial on the car so it automatically connected to the highest strength and then just have discord or similar app, just thought that teams would prefer the high bandwidth wifi link for HD camera live feed etc
Hi Matt, first time I have watched this video - very informative. I was wondering if the F1 teams have the ability to talk to the driver in a private conversation mode. In other words that conversation is Digitally Voice Protected (DVP) and anyone scanning that channel whilst in private mode would only receive 'White Noise'. Would be quite an advantage when talking strategy, tyres Pit Stop timings - would prevent other teams knowing what they are going to do next.
Only time the team can speak privately is when they come into the garage and are connected directly - anything out on track needs to be publicly available so no private conversation mode on track :)
I wished they went a bit more into the radio standards they use for their two-way radio voice communications system. For example, do they use TETRA or NXDN or DMR? Or do they use another standard
Bone induction headphones are pretty large, see the Aftershokz range. In-ears are very small so they don't interfere with the helmet, plus they have the edge of sounding better than Bone induction, less loss of lower frequencies.
If by "most" ppl you mean 100% of them. 1.5GB/s is a modern nvme speed used primarly for OS, other drives get at best 0.6GB/s INSIDE a computer. Not even best fiber internet is close to that. Let alone they do it wirelessly. DANG!
1.9 gigabyte per second is something in the region of 15 gigabit networking That's not just "faster than most people's Internet" thats straight up faster than any SATA SSD in your pc or laptop and faster that most high speed network connections you find in servers (those are usually 10gigabit)
@@Space_Reptile Yes, that you did, and that is true. I was also replying to the reply above mine (the “3-4x as fast as NVME” claim) did, of course, talk about NVME, but their speeds were totally off. I don’t think NVME was even remotely rare 2 years ago though.
I don't know about radios on this, but every team have some high level cyber security system on their computers. Mclaren's Darktrace sponsor is one of them
As always, thanks for the info, the more you know, a? I saw an F1 mechanic a while back stick the ear piece in his mouth and then in his ears, and I thought, odd, but now I know why.
I don't know how fast your internet is, but 1,9 GB a sec is very, very fast. this is almost 16GBit/sec and I don't think anyone has this connection at least not a normal person.

You mean he doesn’t make things up for views like those other stooges on RUclips?
This is exactly what F1 broadcasts on fridays used to be about. the obscure stuff that makes F1 what it is, not the drivers latest haircut.
super props to Matt, he makes the best behind the scenes content about topics most don't really notice or have become the norm and think nothing of it
Thanks Jelo!
Matt this was class! Still got my ear moulds from my time in Formula E, but it was really cool to see the process of how they were made. Great video!
Glad you enjoyed!!
Is formula E easier than formula 1? It's a genuine questions no harm meant tho

Im an amateur radio enthusiast and an F1 fan.
I appreciate this kind of post. I love it!

What year and race was that?
I'm trying to look it up

Great idea, will look into it!
This is such an underrated channel !!
Haha, that last bit about the Audi radio! Who knew there was such a thing as too high quality.
understatement on the 1.9 gigabytes a second, faster than your computer's internal storage!
That comment was outdated even when written two years ago. FOUR years ago, the MacBook Air already had SSD throughput well above 2GB/sec.

Pretty sure those are gbit/s. Seems like normal 802.11ad.
I was wondering the same. But yes, he probably meant Gbps. Those few people he mentioned that has faster internet must have some crazy shit

Thanks dude! What a lovely message 🤙🏻
I am really loving your videos . The way you explain the technology behind these very basic but very criticial things is amazing . Keep em coming
Great video Mate, appreciate the creativity!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Amazing!!!! that kind of things that every F1 Fan would like know!
Haven't seen any other channel cover this part of the sport. Immediate sub
Yea no joke an F1 car downloads faster than my home internet, I’m lucky to get over 1gbps
Love these videos man! As a tech guy love seeing how this actually works.
Wow! Astonishing content. Great video production, awesome value. You earned my sub and gained 1 fan. Thanks!!
Welcome aboard!
So is this how leclerc hear Hamilton becuase they confused the radio channels
F1 radios are not radios, they are completely IP based digital systems. There's no channels, it's like a WiFi system at 10Ghz.
Absolutely fantastic insight!! Thank you so much for sharing this information. Amazing!!!
Great video!

an underrated thing in F1, good vid!
This was fantastic, so happy I was recommended your video today, gained a subscriber. Great content and very informative!
Thanks Luke!
Super interesting, good job!
Kimi Raikonnen does not need radio. He knows what he is doing 👍
For anyone wondering, the intro song is Fights by AGST
Wow, super interesting vid! Do you remember earlier in the season one F1 driver was able to hear another one? I wonder why that happened!
The ear mould guy has an interesting accent. I think he may have been raised in South Africa and lived in England since he was in his mid-teens.
The earpieces are very similar to in-ear monitors (IEMs) used by musicians on stage at concerts. The difference is that the IEMs have better sound quality and are usually in stereo.
ridiculously high quality lovely stuff
I like how u put ur adverts at the end 👌
What a great video man. Love it
Ahhh yes, the obligatory Squarespace sponsorship. Very happy they sponsor these many f1 RUclipsrs
Congrats on 50K!
Super cool! Would be awesome to get some made for maybe gaming or music
great video well deserved sub!
"If you dont have a headset, you are a nobody"
All the mechanics at the garage: 😢

Such a good video🙌🙌
This is the sort of things I wanted to do when I became a network engineer.
That panel would be so dope on a dive boat.

It is!
Hey Matt just a questionz what's the music in the background? It sounds really good
This guy is so underrated

Still using the same moulds I used in formula 3 😁 little worse for wear but fit well. Pretty sure I had mrtc repair them a few times haha

Toto will have special headset made for him….🤣😂😅
You definitely are Daniel Riccardo fan are ya?🤣🤣🤝🧡
100%
3:46 what exactly is this stuff? I need it.
Which 'stuff', custom ear moulds?
What drivers are used for the in-ears? Dynamic? Balanced? Also how many drivers per side?
I need that 1.9 gigabytes of data transfer per second
Cool video! Really surprised they don’t use bone induction microphones 🤷🏻♂️
Bone induction headphones are pretty large, see the Aftershokz range. In-ears are very small so they don't interfere with the helmet, plus they have the edge of sounding better than Bone induction, less loss of lower frequencies.
Soo how about kimis radio getting hijacked by local takeaway 🤔
can it be used for my phone or my mp3 player.....
'Valterri, this is James'
1.9 gigabytes a second , faster than most people's internet at home
bitch
i have 1.9 megabits per second
2:00 1.9gb/s is fast?? I find it fast when i can download 1.9gb in 3hours
an excellent video

Kinda answered my response there, all teams have this second connection but not all at 60ghz speeds!
Gonna watch this in 2037 and get ptsd when he said “it’s a bit like a COVID test”
I am confused right now, so the helmets do not have build in headsets? Because I have heard that the helmets have build in earmuffs.
Some do have built-in, some don't, it depends on the rules for that particular series.
@@Trig0r Okay, because WRC helmets have those, but do F1 helmet have them?
What about the Riedel Intercom Systems?
Need to game in an "F1 garage internet"

That's not just "faster than most people's Internet" thats straight up faster than any SATA SSD in your pc or laptop and faster that most high speed network connections you find in servers (those are usually 10gigabit)

Couldt a team in theory search and find a competitors channel and listen in?
Professional performers, musicians, sound engineers use these custom In-Ear Monitors
So Toto goes through a new headset every session?
Question: where are the microphones for the in-ears?
They’re separate! Microphone is attached within the helmet and with a lot of headsets they get connected together once sat in the car :)
How is the Song at the start called?
2:00 Faster than most peoples'? Who the hell has 15.2 Gbps internet??!
Fantastic video quality. Not just cut and paste info.
Where do i get some
Can anyone tell me the name of the background music ???
Where can we buy the microphones ?
What microphones?

1.9Gb/s is insane
Yess!!!

why do drivers wet their ear plugs with their mouth before they put them in. Wouldn't they be putting the germs from their mouth into their ear?
I would laugh it they forgot to make it only one channel and next second they hear a trucky on the other side of the world
Why does f2 audio b sound so bad if this is available at the tracks already?
Ask them why tf does Verstappen's radio always sound like he's in a typhoon
