The 3 fast right corners would have been flat out and probably even the penultimate corner, so the third sector with the W11 would have become a straight🤭.
@Ho3n3r I was talking about the penultimate corner; It would have become metaphorically a straight not literally because of course the last corner wouldn't be flat, but still for like 15 seconds Lewis or Valtteri would have had their right feet down😃 which kinda remind me of what the W11 did in the second sector of the Mugello's track😳.
Don't forget the track got a brand new asphalt and there was only one practice session, which means less rubber on the surface, so the grip compared with 2021 is very low. Realisticly the gap is between 1.5 and 2 seconds, not 3.
Several factors. 1. The cars being heavier 2. It was a Friday, and the track was still very green 3. The weather was very windy. This track being with lots of fast corners, efficient downforce of 2023 cars should have brought them closer to 2021 car performance. But it wasn't to be.
There's nothing efficient about the current cars.They're efficient only to the stupid rules they're applied upon.Instead of going forward with the aerodynamics and make the cars faster, they went backwards.
Track limits is something different between 2021 (on the curb) and 2023 (just the white line, not the curb) so 2021 can carry more speed in to the corner
Just a little of clarification: 2021 track limits weren't as severe as 2022 and 2023 UNTIL the Russian Grand Prix. It was from the Turkish GP and afterwards that every car who went beyond any white line would get their time deleted (I actually don't remember if this applied to American GPs). What it seems to be that Hamilton is crossing the white line is just that the front tyre is going past the limits, put the rear one is still touching the white line (in fact, this was pretty common in this generation of cars).
And actually, the track limits were severe, if we talk about getting your time deleted for crossing the line like 1 cm or so, it was just that, for the most part of the season, the track limits were placed beyond the white line. For example, I remember the track limits at both GPs in Austria being the red and white kerbs, which left a lot of room for the drivers, but some went beyond those kerbs for a little and still got their times deleted, some got white and black flags, and some got time penalties (there were a lot of penalties at the Austrian GP lol)
Probably will be next year but racing asfault needs time to settle and loose some of it's oil. According to the drivers the asfault was really peaky but also a very fast drop off making it hard to drive.
Its all in the track evolution. If you look at the last 3 Grand Prix the difference between qualifying lap times and fastest race laps, we have: - a fastest race lap 4 seconds slower than pole in Singapore - 5 seconds slower than pole in Japan But then in Qatar the fastest race lap is only 6 tenths of a second slower than pole (1:24:3 in race vs 1:23:773 in qualifying). It is not normal to get a race lap so close to the qualifying lap - mainly due to tyre degradation and management being less of a factor in Qatar due to the tyre rules, but also just how green and slippery the track surface was on Friday and the massive evolution by Sunday evening. Even if you look at Qatar in 2021, the pole lap was 1:20:8, and fastest race lap was 1:23:2 (only 1.4 seconds slower) HOWEVER, this was because Max pit a few laps from the end with a big gap to P3 behind him in order to set the fastest lap. Lewis' fastest lap was a 1:25:1, 4-5 seconds slower than pole. That 4-5 second difference between pole and fastest lap is very typical, so it just shows how poor the grip was on Friday afternoon when qualifying took place this year with a fresh surface and sand and dust everywhere. Excluding Max's fastest race time from 2021 (as nobody did a late pit stop for a comparable time in 2023), a 1:24:3 in 2023 vs a 1:25:1 in 2021 suggests the overall pace was quicker in 2023, even if the tyre rules played a part, once the track had properly rubbered in.
@@UIracing A new tarmac needs a lot of time to actually settle. It definitely was slower than the 2021 one. You could literally see how peaky the track was.
These 2022 regulations are painful to watch. And instead of making the cars like in 2020 spec or faster theyre thinking of removing 40% downforce in 2026. The pinnacle of automobiles is slowly turning into just normal open wheelers. We need back the insane cornering speed asap.
The problem is just that if we go back to the old aero rules than overtaking becomes impossible like it was due to the dirty air created by this insane downforce that did let the take the corners so fast. I love to see these insane corner speeds but closer racing is also a good thing. You cant win them all... peace man and have a good day.
Repaved track full of sand, sprint weekend (without FP2 or FP3), gusts of wind, circuit lengthened by 39 meters... Everything played against the 2023 cars in terms of laptime, in exactly the same conditions, the difference was not would have been greater than 2 seconds

So did they do a good job with the resurface of the track or was it like Silverstone in 2018? From what I understood that didn't affect anything...the wind, the sand and the cars being heavier were the main reasons.
At the exit of turn 2 Hamilton indeed crosses the white line completely, but in the corners you mention it was allowed in 2021 to go beyond the white line, Hamilton only goes over with a small part of the vehicle while Verstappen goes half past the line so I really doesn't understand your explanation there.
What also could be a factor is that the W12 seems to have shorter gear ratios in the lower gears than the RB19. Though, I feel like the the track limits were the same as in 2021 the RB19 lap would’ve been almost a second faster.
not even close, the current cars are no where near even the 2021 regs with lower downforce than 2020, they get smashed at every single track on lap time, they're too heavy, and don't have enough grip, they're also genuinely slower than the 2004 and 2005 v10s, and will keep up on qualifying, but not in race pace with the 2006 and 2007 v8s
@@houseking9211 don’t underestimated the time gained by wider track limits. And also, the current cars while slower in low speed then previous generations, are way faster in high speed then even 2020 cars.

2023 heavier and wider cars, new tarmac as well and Ham went over the track limit continually carrying more speed than Vers which this year and penalized.

So why does this videos constantly bring up the point of track limits, when most of Lewis' fast high speed corners stay withing the line and 2023 track limits. Seem like a mute point to make when comparing these lap times.
There are multiple mitigating factors. In my opinion I preferred the older reg cars far more. Felt way more like Formula cars, lower, wider-stanced, smaller tyres & lighter. I would guess the delta in even conditions between that generation’s leading car & this generations would be in the region of 1.5-2.0… obviously track specific. It was insanely dusty & windy yesterday for these new cars, which at best are incredibly peaky and have far smaller operational windows than the previous gen machines. Still, cheers for the video, cool to see.
Totally different aero regulations in 2022 slowed the cars down. Fans just don't pay attention to laptimes year over year or this question would be obvious to answer.
@@SturdivantRacing126 yes i am aware of that as an engineer myself but this years cars have generally been within 0.8-1.5 seconds of the previous regs so it can not just be down to the ground effect regs i suspect the resufacing has had a bigger impact the shiney surface is very visable on the cars so the oil in the asphalt hasnt fully being released similar to Hungary 2020 and Portimao 2021.

This track is possibly the closest this generation of cars will ever be to 2017-2021 as the cornering speeds in the high speed are insane with the ground effect.

So why does this videos constantly bring up the point of track limits, when most of Lewis' fast high speed corners stay withing the line and 2023 track limits. Seem like a mute point to make when comparing these lap times.
New tarmac
Track limits were different
2023 less rubber on a track filled with sand.
2sec is from car, 1 sec from driver.
Very speed car in 2021
Thank you FIA for changing the rules from 2014 till 2021 to get what you want...this sad thing that has F1 infront of it...
There are multiple mitigating factors.
In my opinion I preferred the older reg cars far more. Felt way more like Formula cars, lower, wider-stanced, smaller tyres & lighter.
I would guess the delta in even conditions between that generation’s leading car & this generations would be in the region of 1.5-2.0… obviously track specific.
It was insanely dusty & windy yesterday for these new cars, which at best are incredibly peaky and have far smaller operational windows than the previous gen machines.
Still, cheers for the video, cool to see.
Clearly no one cared about track limits in 21. Turn 1 and 2 Lewis already would've got his time deleted in 2023 😂
FTX sponsor in 2021 😯
Don’t worry 2026 reg will make car 4s slower in Qatar compared to 2023 cars
make the cars 1000 kg already
Vast difference in speed must be down to the track resurfacing surely?
Most likely the dust
Totally different aero regulations in 2022 slowed the cars down.
Fans just don't pay attention to laptimes year over year or this question would be obvious to answer.
@@SturdivantRacing126 yes i am aware of that as an engineer myself but this years cars have generally been within 0.8-1.5 seconds of the previous regs so it can not just be down to the ground effect regs i suspect the resufacing has had a bigger impact the shiney surface is very visable on the cars so the oil in the asphalt hasnt fully being released similar to Hungary 2020 and Portimao 2021.
@@ellishartley9879 Two years of car development with a lap that's a car that's about 2 seconds slower.
Green track + slower car = not magic
@@SturdivantRacing126 i guess next years cars will show the potential with stable aero regs. Seemingly will only go downhill in performance 2025 onwards....
Better driver is how
Track was resurfaced and this quali session happened two sessions earlier than in 2021. Truly believe that if the conditions had been the same as in 2021 we could’ve genuinely seen close to a second difference between the two, which for these regs is insane. This track is possibly the closest this generation of cars will ever be to 2017-2021 as the cornering speeds in the high speed are insane with the ground effect. Really quite sad we won’t get a proper comparison this weekend, hope next year Qatar isn’t a sprint weekend and we get a more normal comparison
Lewis in W11 woulda done 19-19.5
Shoutout scamTX
F1 car isn’t the fastest car anymore on any track that isn’t oval. New Porshe modelhas active earo and basically no restrictions. That car blast the F1 car and this is a shame. F1 should be the pinnacle of technology
F1 and the FIA should be embarrased that cars are getting slower, in my opinion.
Bring back the old cars. Hate the huge tyres. They drive like boats.
タイヤに厳しいサーキットはちゃんと3回フリー走行しようぜ
Shows who is the fastest driver 😂😂 cornering speed consistently 20kph faster.
New tarmac is too slippy
The cars are way too heavy
So we are watching slower cars 😂. The pinnacle of motor racing is getting slower. Max is dominating in the bath tub era.
New car is heavier
Track limits
and they say medium and high speed corners 23 cars are faster 🤣🤣🤣
Yeah, its such bs, they should have left the regs in 2021, other teams were catching up,McLaren almost won two races on pace.
@@joshn1678 yes, but if the new regs werent in 2022, who knows how much mercedes would've FURTHER gone on upgrading their 2021 car. we might've never had the massive title battle. so we can never say for sure.
I mean Hamilton is just on another level compared to verstappen...
Bro its the car, 2 totally different generations, its like sayng Mazepin Is better than Senna or Prost because in Monza he was faster
What a shame, Just stop steal video from bilibili!
Both accounts are mine, hence the ending with both watermarks.
Lap time deleted
2021 cars were better, simple as that.
Where's all the talk of Newey being the greatest!!
Was he sleeping when merc won 8 years in a row
RB had good aero in those years. They just lacked engine power with the Renault engine...
@@SnakezF1 for 8 years!!?
Wake up mate.
Why don't any of the merc designers get praise!? Not even brawn gets a mention
@@aswadsaswad1759 You might want to check your eyes then
It’s called recency bias. It’s absolutely everywhere. People literally forget what happened, almost as if it never did.
They had a great engine but that advantage was nullified into 2017 onwards. They just had the best overall package; including Aero & Suspension.
Red Bull had phenomenal aero too back then before anybody bites my head off, Merc were just ahead of the curve back then.
Not so much now though with these regs.
@@aswadsaswad1759I’ve seen many people credit Brawn for the first generation of hybrid Mercedes even though he wasn’t running the team then. The 14-16 Mercedes that were upwards of 2s faster per lap than their closest rivals when allowed to push.
Now some people may not like this next sentence.. the only reason it’s not spoken about more is bc Hamilton fans aren’t the ones giving the credit.
Its just cuz Lewis is better driver
