"I'm just at my father's workshop where he has a number of F1 cars" you just said that so casually as if it's a normal thing for a father to have lol. It's so cool to see.
@@xissburg well that rubber heave spring they showed, up untill a couple years ago they had front and rear interconnected hydraulic setups to control heave and squat. Even just a 'basic' heave spring now looks 100x more complicated than the one in this video lol
It looks different, but not cutting edge. It's still dampers and pivots and arms. Nowadays road cars have active dampers while race cars have something called Inerters.
Williams got a slower development than other F1 teams, from completely dominating in the 90’s and contending in the 00’s and having a decent car in mid 10’s, they went to dead last in just a couple of years, while using a top Mercedes engine. And the tech has certainly advanced. It would be amazing if the UK were able to bring this kind of expertise to something commercial. They would be making the best bicycles, motorcycles, cars and airplanes in the world.
The fact that a man is working with these amazing stuff and his son is so interested and passionate too about them is brilliant. This a dream for a lot men in this world. Thank you for these videos. We, your viewers are loving these technical details in Motorsport vehicles.
It's just incredible how light everything on an F1 car is! I would have never thought that the pushrods just weigh half a kilogram... The engineering behind all of the components is just outstanding. Great video mate :D
Especially considering how expensive even the smallest pieces are if you want to buy something that was actually a piece on an F1 car. I've never had the chance to see or hear an F1 car in real life so having a piece from one would be the next best thing, but dang, can't afford it on a regular worker's pay.
I know you try and keep your videos snappy because "all hail the RUclips algorithm" but I could listen to your dad talk about those parts for hours. My father is a motorcycle mechanic and in another life could have raced professionally and I've spent many hours listing to him do the same with what he knows.
Front wing ( angle of attack control , sensors , spliiters )and steering (how tierods are actuating ) This kind of discussion at component level is actually good and new in youtube. Most videos explain the overall functioning but they don't cover component intricacies. nice work mate
Definitely my new favorite video on the channel - people in a shop sharing car knowledge. Brings back good memories, and I also love learning like this (in the shop, but of course by these videos too).
I am from the U.S so I'm not too familiar with the metric system but I absolutely love Formula 1 so I've been trying to learn those measurements better. When you weighed the piece I knew it'd be light but once you compared it visually with the coffee cup (something more referable) my jaw literally dropped. I love your channel, been subbed for a while now and I never get bored from them !!
As a mech eng, hard to dislike this video Alot of thoughts and time were put to optimize functionality and weight ! every component in the F1 is art work! great stuff !
I wish I had a dad like him! I wanted to ask, Scott. Where could we learn more about advanced suspension setup tuning? Like rake, fast bump, etc. I'm just curious to learn tuning for simracing and be able to create my own tunings that adapt better to my own style
Really enjoy you videos , I have learned a lot watching them and now have a much better understanding of F1 especially. I raced F F 1600 for many years before all these videos and U Tube oh how helpful it would have been when racing in the 80s.
453.5 grams = 16oz or 1lb. for the Americans that enjoy watching your channel. That part at 2:34 looks to be Welded with an Electron-Beam, it's done In an inert filled chamber under Vacuum.. I love the pronunciation of Titanium.
The engineering in the manufacture of the rocker, all by itself, is impressive. Milling the two hollow pieces out of solid tianium blocks, (I assume they swept up every bit of scrap) and then welding those pieces together precisely; zero error, so that everything lines up correctly, and then taking the loads that that rocker has to take while barely moving what, half an inch? one centimeter? is just amazing. Thank you.
As much as I appreciated time and effort to relate this video, the father/son thing in a workshop, tearing things apart together, that is priceless. 👍🥂
Love the clip from your fathers shop. I work as engineer at Volvo and my area is suspension. So please as much F1 suspension clip as possible. Thanks and stay safe. 😊❤️
Thank you so much for sharing! You have a unique opportunity to share things many people have never seen. This is much appreciated! Your father seems like an awesome guy
Thanks for all these informative videos Scott, adding your dad’s knowledge is a joy. You too work so well it’s amazing. Highly appreciate all this amazing information on F1 components!
Fascinating. I've long wondered how front suspension was packaged. That pivot is expensive stuff, carved from two solid blocks of titanium. Quite an art in just machining that metal. Thanks.
Some of those parts look like they are built at the same shops/type of shops that boeingg aircraft are built. I was a machinist for them. So the finish and how some of the part look visually brings back some memories
Had a hard week and this was just what I needed after this day to make it a bit better . Formula video + listening to the music I like (Delta Parole, Metallica and other) make me feel the speed and excitement!
Oh boy, I wish the Benetton got rebuild from scratch and we would get explained everything in detail like this. It really let's you appreciatie the eye for detail and accuracy even in the 90s when CAD development was still in its infancy. I want an encore to this... so interesting.
Thank you for your content and thanks to your father for sharing the knowledge. Formula 1 has fascinated me since becoming a teen 47 years ago. It's awesome to learn something new with your help.
Changing the rake does alot more than that. Without adjusting the wings it changes the AOA of the wing increasing downforce and drag from both wings by adding nose down rake. Unless the wings are re adjusted to compensate for that effect
That is some beautiful hardware, those suspension parts. I appreciate the machine work on the titanium. Titanium has a difficult reputation, but it is actually very machinable. It takes sharp edge positive rake tooling, the correct surface speeds and positive feed rates, and no bullsh*t work holding. Replace tooling that shows any wear at all. And it machines just fine.
I really liked seeing the composition of pushrod! titanium and then hallow CF! Production of such things are so expensive even tpday and this was technology of 20 years ago! Mind blowing...
One of the most interesting videos I have seen on this channel so far in 2-3 I have been subscribed. When you have time spend and film more videos with your father in the garage. A lot of very interesting things we can learn about Formula 1 and cars in general. Thank you! Have a nice day!
Wauw! Amazing engineering. Unbelievable to see the solutions/advantages the engineers came up with!! Kudos to R&D. Very interesting so I subbed👍🏼Keep 'm coming!
What do you think to this system? What systems in the car would you like to hear about next? Drop a suggestion in the comments!
An in-depth talk about:
Diffusers
Airbox/side pods
Gearbox
All could be interesting, heck any topic is interesting.
Bose
flexion joints would be first of its kind
Everything about your dads workshop would be fantastic to see Scott. Keep up the good work!
The cooling system is also an interesting topic
"I'm just at my father's workshop where he has a number of F1 cars" you just said that so casually as if it's a normal thing for a father to have lol. It's so cool to see.
My kids will be like “here’s my father’s f1 cars”
don’t have kids but my nieces and nephews will be - here’s my Uncle’s RC car collection 😂😂
Remember, this is 25 year old technology, and it still looks cutting edge.
Imagine what it must be like in current F1 cars then 😱

This pleases the weightweenie inside of me. Not interested in cars or racing, but clever engineering your videos showcase is absolutely fascinating.
News flash,if you like the tech you love the car.😉
Clever engineering is what cars are. Especially racing cars with F1 being arguably the pinnacle of automotive engineering
f1 tech is too advanced, when he lifted the engine cover 1:49,
me: That looks soo B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L
can't wait for the 2021 season
ngl i got a chub
And that is from a 25 year old F1 car. Current cars are even more advanced.
More content with your father please, there's so much untapped potential!
Man, I love how you dive deep in these f1 tech videos.
"like father like son" your father so cool btw, respect to your entire familly.
More of these workshop videos!
It's really cool that your dad is an F1 mechanic. Really enjoying having him share his insight in these kinds of videos!
The fact that a man is working with these amazing stuff and his son is so interested and passionate too about them is brilliant. This a dream for a lot men in this world.
Thank you for these videos. We, your viewers are loving these technical details in Motorsport vehicles.
my dad has beer bottles in his workshop
And, just like the titanium rocker, they're hollow too.
Well, some are.
It's just incredible how light everything on an F1 car is! I would have never thought that the pushrods just weigh half a kilogram... The engineering behind all of the components is just outstanding. Great video mate :D
Amazing what you can do with cubic $$$....
AHA! SO THAT'S WHERE HE KEEPS GETTING THIS F1 PARTS. I've always been wondering where the heck he keeps getting them

I've never had the chance to see or hear an F1 car in real life so having a piece from one would be the next best thing, but dang, can't afford it on a regular worker's pay.
Videos like this make me wish I had a father.
I feel ya.
I wish you the very best man🤝
Right with you man. I’m 16 and have never met him.
Same feeling! 😔
@@ouuo69 I'm on the other side of the coin, and feel deeply traumatised, two years on.

Insane engineering. Weighs less than a cup of coffee. Amazing to see what really goes on under the covers. Thanks!
& that's why, no cup holder!?
Love this. More videos from the shop with your dad please
THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH! YOU ROCK BRO..IM IN MY 60s AND BEEN WATCHING F1 SINCE I WAS 8 YO..FANTASTIC CHANNEL,,STAY WELL

Cool, thanks fbi
Thanks, I'm blind.
Thats the level of surveillance the fbi is capable of with a measly budget of a couple hundred billion

I love your channel. Its the closest Ill get to hands on learning with true racing parts
That is insane!!!! Please show more of these videos!!! The engineering is ridiculous!!!
I just love the beautiful engineering and manufacturing that goes into these parts. Absolute art.
Its pure beauty to learn with this intimacy those cars.
THANKS FOR SHARING!!

Such cool footage - it's unreal how much technology and knowhow goes into these cars. And the people who create them are just... wow.
I really like these technical videos, great work.

I’ve been looking forward to a video like this for so long. Next summer I’m building my
Own open seater and wanted true F1 like suspension
Absolutely fabulous video. When you are filming at your fathers workshop is my very favourite videos.
an absolute dream shop
To think someone sat down and thought of all this tech. Just wow
Hundreds of very educated people all specialists in their field working together. It's beautiful actually
I came in to say pretty much what@@austinthomaswoolerysaid lol

Absolutely love your dad what a freaking legend, crazy how light they can get those parts with modern ti alloys and carbon fiber!
We need more of these workshop tours of various F1 parts and components.
Liked it very much! We need more videos like this. With the old man on the shed.
Next time we need a regular car part side to side for comparison
Wow!! Beautiful engineering.
It’s great to see and hear the respect and the relationship you have with your father Bless you
Fabulous, Scott! Super informative, and it’s splendid to virtually walk about an F1 garage! I look forward to more of the same
The pushrod no longer having threaded joints (rose joints) also has the benefit of greatly reducing compliance in the suspension system. Great video.
I absolutely love this channel. it gets right into the interesting stuff and keeps it short and sweet. no BS. keep up the good work!
I wish F1 was bigger in America, well where I live at least (PNW). Great content, love the channel.
Same!! Watching from Seattle
Thanks for sharing these videos.
This is the actual gold what makes F1 worth watching.
Fascinating. I've long wondered how front suspension was packaged. That pivot is expensive stuff, carved from two solid blocks of titanium. Quite an art in just machining that metal. Thanks.

Great video man!
I love these work shop videos 👍👍 Your old man is tops 👍 And you yourself knowing what your talking about makes for a great video team 👍
Really exciting, only place you can see this on YT
As a mechanical engineer i absolutely love these segments, keep em up!
We always see the top but never the bottom of the f1 and the technology behind this.
Had a hard week and this was just what I needed after this day to make it a bit better . Formula video + listening to the music I like (Delta Parole, Metallica and other) make me feel the speed and excitement!
Loved the information, hope I could get an opportunity to meet and get all the knowledge u guys have
What a great father! 🙏
Oh boy, I wish the Benetton got rebuild from scratch and we would get explained everything in detail like this.
It really let's you appreciatie the eye for detail and accuracy even in the 90s when CAD development was still in its infancy.
I want an encore to this... so interesting.
That is an immense amount of calculations for potentially hundredths of a second. Very interesting. Looking forward to the next installment.
I love these style videos. Keep these coming.
Brilliant videos on the f1 car components. Very interesting.
glad I found this video, I was just looking at Penske Racing Shocks
Fascinating close up component by component look, great explanation. Thank you!
Thank you for your content and thanks to your father for sharing the knowledge. Formula 1 has fascinated me since becoming a teen 47 years ago. It's awesome to learn something new with your help.
This is great stuff! Please keep giving us more information like this. There are not that many sources for this. Love it!
We need more close ups of these components. Great series
Interesting video mate. I'm liking many of your videos.Keep up the good work.
Totally awesome video! Thank you 👍 looking forward to more videos
One of the most fascinating engineering channels I’ve stumbled upon
That "third damper or pitch control" at 0:39 is not primarily a damper - yes, as mentioned at 1:25, it's an elastomeric spring.
Changing the rake does alot more than that. Without adjusting the wings it changes the AOA of the wing increasing downforce and drag from both wings by adding nose down rake. Unless the wings are re adjusted to compensate for that effect
That is some beautiful hardware, those suspension parts. I appreciate the machine work on the titanium. Titanium has a difficult reputation, but it is actually very machinable.

Amazing! I’ve always been intrigued by race car suspension. It’s the most fascinating aspect of the machine.
Kev is an absolute top bloke no doubt.
This channel is becoming more interesting evertime i view somthing .
Would be nice to see where all the load cells are placed and fitted.
I really liked seeing the composition of pushrod! titanium and then hallow CF! Production of such things are so expensive even tpday and this was technology of 20 years ago! Mind blowing...
