@@citrous as JV mentioned. The team is using 20 year old systems in car development. It's amazing how they are performing despite their current situation.

@@omsingh3982 Yo chill lmaoo it was an unfortunate ending though the first lap of the sprint race and the first half lap of the GP was some of the hardest racing you’ll ever in this sport
@@akbarhogiwibowo1473 ... Yet it just did it (beat 2021's pole lap time)... 2020 stands alone as the absolute peak year, 2019 - 2021 traded blows, but 2019 was faster on average .
2017 - 1.26.600 secs 2018 - 1.25.892 secs 2019 - 1.25.093 secs 2020 - 1.24.303 secs 2021 - 1.26.134 secs 2023 - 1.26.720 secs Now 2024 - 1.25.819 secs that's close to 2018 , so can we see a comparison between 2018 and 2024. Need to know how even with new ground effect they are similar Maybe 2018 is faster in straights
The 2018 cars were faster on the straights due to the quali mode of the engines (except the Hangar straight for some reason). 2018 top speed before T1 was 13 kph higher than 2024 and a total of 0.26 sec faster before T3, then stretched it to 0.4 by the end of S1. 2024 gained time through T6 & 7 and up to Copse, because of the tail wind, before losing again down to Maggots. Through the next two corners and through the Hangar straight 2024 gains 0.1 sec, but the real damage is done in the final sector. In Stowe 2024 gains another tenth and through the final couple of corners almost 0.25 (most of it in T17). Now imagine the 2024 car having full quali mode and being 50-70 kg lighter - that car would be an absolute beast around Silverstone!
2018 cars on permanent tracks like Silverstone, Bahrain, Austria, Suzuka were about 1s faster in Quali mode on avg. At Silverstone they were equally fast because it was hotter and the tyre couldn't be pushed as they did yesterday.
@@Srga91In 2018 DRS was available on the main straight, that's why they had so much better top speed there (those cars had less drag than nowdays, stop it with the "the new cars have less drag" nonsense), so tha's the main reason, the other is that there were some strange gusts of wind back then, so teams elected to deploy ERS charge differently. These cars do have qualy mode tho, they can still make ERS mappings that are more agressive than on race trim, only thing yhey can't change is the conventional engine's mode back and forth. If they select a more powerful mode to qualify, they have to use it all the way, they can't dial it down, if they choose to run a more conservative setting, they can't turn it up a notch. I'm pretty sure they've already figured out how to turn it up without losing too much durability. No matter how light you could make these current cars, they have two limiting factors that being even 100kg lighter they can't overcome: downforce at medium-slow speeds due to airflow bleeding off the underside, and mechanical suspensions (coil-overs vs hydraulic "springs" and shocks) being less precise to absorb the track's bumps and whatever else is on the ground, regardless of how refined they can be, I believe we're seeing these current cars performance ceiling being reached nowdays, the previous ones had still room for improvement. Underbody downforce and conventional suspensions are inherently inferior to topside aero and hydraulic suspensions...
It seems that for Vale(turn 16) they made the orange sausage kerb a lot more flat this year, so they could attack and cut more the entry of that corner.
A cool graphic addition would be an arrow that turns according to the direction of the wind so we could visually see where in the track its having an impact
I still love the '21 cars, much more allive and aggressive into corners, nimble and snappy. This era is more on the smoothness, at least that's how I see it.
Could you make a video of recent Stroll and Alonso comparison? Because I've no idea how this windowlicker is quicker then Nando, but because of the sabotaging
Spa varies like that due to the different setups drivers have. It’s not always down to different year regs. There’s no other race where we see such different setups
Headwind is blowing from the front of the car. Increases your level of downforce. Tailwind decreases your level of downforce hence you can't brake as late as with headwind but it almost works as a DRS when you want to go full throttle on a straight.
Headwind = the wind is against the flow of the car making the straight line speed decrease however you can brake later. Tailwind = the wind is with the flow of the car making the straight line speed increase however you must brake earlier to avoid losing lap time during corners.
@roll_and_on_greatest It all depends on direction. Headwind is the wind that comes from the front and hits your face, while tailwind comes from behind and hits your back. Same for a car. Headwind comes from forward and hits the front wing while tailwind does the opposite. Hope you understood. Tailwind increases speed of car since the wind the pushing it.

2026 was a possible record breaking year if the regulation changes were in 2027 rather than 2026
We need W15 vs W11 and W12
W11 gonna clear that for sure

Feels like T16 is a bit wider this year thanks to the new susage curb which allows the cars to ride it.

2019 spa pole was 1.2s slower but still had 2 sectors over 2020, just because the merc was 2s faster in s2
Spa varies like that due to the different setups drivers have. It’s not always down to different year regs.
There’s no other race where we see such different setups
merc ran a high downforce setup in 2020
that is because mercedes had a higher df setup in 2020. s2 requires downforce more than any other sector at spa.
@@iamlato 2019 Spa pole had the warp speed Ferrari engine lol that was totally legal!
(I think about that engine every night)
After watching, can anyone explain to me what is Headwind and Tailwind?
Headwind is blowing from the front of the car. Increases your level of downforce. Tailwind decreases your level of downforce hence you can't brake as late as with headwind but it almost works as a DRS when you want to go full throttle on a straight.
headwind is wind that is coming directly at the car to the driver's face, while tailwind is wind from behind, which pushes them forwards
Headwind = the wind is against the flow of the car making the straight line speed decrease however you can brake later.
Tailwind = the wind is with the flow of the car making the straight line speed increase however you must brake earlier to avoid losing lap time during corners.

The Red Bull car was always understeered and sluggish.
w15 = w11
Nah not even close. 2024 f1 cars are slower then 2020. W11 had more downforce on the corners causing it to go flat out confidently in some corners
High speed corners is very close but mid and low speed are still very much off
Could never
