Fascinating, why did ot become the superior race for you would you say ? I like nascar but when i had channels that showed it, ot almost killed me with 900 breaks every few minutes. It was directly from USA so the breaks was crazy and ended taking me out of it.. Never felt in the race because of all those ads... 😅
Nascar is big mostly in America, F1 is global and has the best of the best in every department. There's a drivers and constructors championship. Being part of an F1 design team puts you up there with NASA and Space X level.
Cleo actually put out another Formula 1 video about a month ago, it mainly focuses on the cars and it also includes the two Red Bull drivers, Max Verstappen and Sergio Pérez. Highly recommend watching it!
fun fact. NASA approached F1 to further the space program after F1 developed a type of carbon fibre that could withstand 1000 degree exhaust temperatures (blown diffusers etc)
I read somewhere that Ferrari doesn't have a marketing budget. No commercials, no adverts. Nothing. Just the Formula One racing team. That is their marketing. But that is maybe because of where they come from. The founder, Enzo Ferrari, was a race driver, and then a race team owner, and a race car builder. And he needed money to be able to keep racing. So he started selling road cars, fast road cars, to people who could afford them. But he wasn't really interested in that part of the business, the road cars. That was just to bring money in for the racing. And rich people wanted to buy his road cars because of how successful his race cars were on the track.
For many years, Ferrari reported $10M profit back to Fiat each year, then spent on their racing programs the rest of whatever they had earned from sales of road cars.
Actually, Enzo Ferrari started as a mechanic at Masarati ( not sure if I'm spelling that right). They were the big name in Grand Prix racing, before there was a Ferrari company.
The cars used to cost 400 to 500 million before, but FIA put a limit on spending to help lower placed teams to compete with the big dogs. Another astonishing fact for Americans, the pit stop is about 2 seconds when they change all 4 wheels.
When F1 first started in 1950 there was only a drivers championship. The cars they drove were obviously significant but in those days it was so much more about the drivers than the teams. The constructors championship was introduced in 1958, since when the cars have become progressively more significant, but the massive budgets didn’t start the ramp up to really big numbers until the 1980’s. To give a sense of what I’m talking about, Ken Tyrell ran his F1 team from an old wood shed in the 1960’s & 1970’s. His best driver, Jackie Stewart, won the F1 championship three times driving a Tyrell in 1969, 71 & 73. In those days it was so much more about the driver’s ability to communicate with the team to improve the car whereas today so much of that communication is done through electronic telemetry. All of the above is to emphasize that the video represents F1 today, but it has changed dramatically since its inception.
loved the reaction! paying attention, appreciating the video, voicing your thoughts.. you've earned a new subscriber! f1 is one of the biggest rabbit holes I've ever fallen in. hope to see more f1 reactions, whether it be racing, engineering, drivers, funny moments or anything else!
Hey guys. The Miami race is on the 3rd may. I doubt you'll (ya'll) get tickets now but you can watch it on TV. I've been watching F1 since the 60s and will never stop. Big hugs from sunny England. ✌❤🇬🇧
No thanks. I'm only here because I like dirt bikes and youtube thinks I want to see rich people play. Nope sportscar racing was taken away from us average Americans a long time ago. So I'll pass. No I don't watch NASCAR either. D thing ain't even real cars anymore.
@@donaldgrant9067 😂😂😂 Maybe you can apply the same innovations to dirt bikes and make a contribution to further scientific research and progress. Or, you can learn to play the banjo and marry your first cousin.
This is the best reaction channel, they react to my two passions in life RACING SERIES and THE WARNING, impossible to find a better YT channel, thanks to mike and jess for this wonderful work and for supporting the best band on earth, Daniela, Paulina, and Alejandra
Cleo's channel in general is a breath of fresh air. She's so good at explaining complex things in a simple way. I used to be very into F1, but it just got too boring somewhere in the early 2000s, I started dozing off mid-race on Sunday, even worse when timezones made it so that some races were on at 5am or something in Europe.
When I was young, I heard Mclaren (then partnered with Mercedes) donated one of their machines that read and understood the goings on in their car to a children's hospital to be used in icu units. Due to mclaren pushing the onboard system to be able to read and understand even the smallest and faintest of readings in their F1 car, it greatly increased baby and toggler icu unit capabilities. And helped and saved lives. Society as a whole benefits from f1 technology in ways we don't even imagine.
I never thought I'd see ya'll checking this out! F1 is such a great sport, I became an addict about 5 years ago and now I look forward to every race weekend. Also Cleo Abram that does these has a ton of interesting videos in all kinds of avenues. Perfectly dumbing it down without making you feel dumb about it!
Formula 1 is really amazing, and it's a lot of engineering works that goes on behind the scenes. F1 companies like Mercedes,Red Bull and Mclaren helped developed quickly a lot of the machines in the fight against Covid. The wind screen in Indi racing cars were developed by Red Bull racing. These engineers can solve any problem very easily.
I've watched F1 since i was a kid (a very long time) and she is brilliant at making it as easy to understand as possible. Loved this video thanks to you ❤
I have to admit I haven't been to an F1 race for ages, but when we lived near Brans' here in the UK, I never missed a race from the late 1970's until they stopped F1 races there. They were great
I went to the phx Grand Prix in 1990. 1 day tickets were $200 a day. No idea what they are now BUT if you volunteer they give you a race day ticket free. It was lots of fun to volunteer
As a real F1-Fan i still love to watch the vids from Cleo. And if you want to dive in deeper you should take a look at her vid as she was invited to the Red Bull factory where all that magic is created. For her it was an absolut privileg to get there. Even the best and veteran reporters have not been there now. And in this video i love at most as she talks to one of the engineers and in the background you can hear a F1 engine screeming in the test stand. Because this was the first time the new self engineered Red Bull engine could be heared in a video outside Red Bull videos.
the movie you're referring too is probably Driven with Sly Stallone, F1 is like the space project of racing, so much research goes into every aspect of engineering including safety as showcased by the Roman Grojean crash
Probably 'Rush' - 2013 film directed by Ron Howard...it's a dramatization of the rivalry between James Hunt and Niki Lauda in the 70s...largely accurate true story although some elements were exaggerated for dramatic effect as most similar films 'biopic' type tend to do.
I totally geek out about the tech innovation. A few years ago Merdeces suffered a problem with getting the tyres to the correct temperature so they came up with a thing called "Dual Axis Steering" where within the rules they could change the geometry of the front wheels in a thing called 'toe' by pulling and pushing on the steering wheel. This helped them get the tyres where they needed them and also blew everyone's minds. Unfortunately the other teams managed to get it banned for the next year, but it's so F1 that they even came up with it.
F1 started way back in 1946 and contested over seven races . It really got going in 1950 when we had drivers such as Juan Fangio - Stirling Moss and Alberto Ascari as the main driver with a second car being driven by a lesser known driver who if the senior drivers car broke down had to give his car to the main team driver . With Ferrari - Mercedes - Alfa Romero - Lancia - Maseratis - Cooper . In the 49/50's there were only 7 races throughout the year to find the best driver . Now , 2024 , there have been 24 Grand Prix races . In my opinion the best racing years were in the 60/70/80's when the drivers were basically " Playboys " who lived life to the full , including one who would be out the night before the race drinking and entertaining beautiful ladies . He would arrive at the race track just before the race started - jump into the car and win the race . This is well documented not just him but a number of others with the knowledge that they might be killed , as many were . Not like todays drivers who train very hard all year to keep physically fit and are also highly knowledgable engineers .
Hi friends, in Hamburg´s Warehouse District (Speicherstadt) is the Miniatur Wunderland. They just opened their version of Monaco and the F1 race there. Also looking forward, there is already a Formula E. As with combustions engines this will be a giant experiment for security and efficience. Keep your family safe. Your Elmar from Germany
3:51 - just for a comparison between Indycar & F1, one of the only tracks that both cars have actually raced at is the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, TX. The fastest laptime an Indycar did was 1:46.018. The fastest F1 laptime was 1:32.029, 16 seconds faster. For context, 16 seconds in racing is a lightyear! Over a race distance of 58 laps, the Indycar would have been lapped approx. 8 times! F1 is absolutely insane
The "nerd" explanation is funny and spot on. It basically started with some enthusiastic carmechanics trying to out-mechanic each other. And now it is incredibly high tech and all of these teams have some super smart people working for them. Also they don't just need the smart people to make the car, but also to make the machines they need to make the car. Since they make almost everything themselves and it has to be cutting edge they can't just buy parts from a parts dealer. So in fact this really is like NASA trying to build a spaceship.
when i finished school i was lost. then a revival from a old team brought me back to F1. I loved it so much i chose to do a Mechanical Engineering Degree...and spend on average 1 hour a day, everyday for the last 30 years...studying the sport, following the news, latest tech, new updates, changes in designs...etc I also race in karting and simulators ...F1 is not just a sport, its a mindset! to be the most creative and innovative, as far as the human mind can go, to harness the laws of the universe...to make a car go the fastest! to be methodical, calculated, precise, focused... its a quest for the extreme, the ultimate, the absolute edge, the quest for perfection...the pushing of my limits to become a better version of me!
Cleo’s latest video with red bull is an awesome deep dive into more of F1. It offers a lot of insight into the human collaboration behind an F1 team. Its a must-see for anyone who are into the sport.
How great is Cleo? One of the best explanations Ive seen on what F1 is all about. As to the why do we do this? Well, an alt explanation is that the British car industry was destroyed by the militant unions of the 70s ... but the world class engineers and fans basically said fu and just cracked on with creating a whole other level of tech "projects" to deliver the best of the world they love. When you take a step back, for such an international sport its bonkers how many of these teams even to this day are based in a relatively small part off England!!
I don't recall channel names but a while back I watched a couple of good ones just focusing on the transportation logistics of moving these teams all over the world... worth searching for a good one to react to.✌🏼🇨🇦
I’ve been into F1 since 2015 and got F1 tv when it came out in America so I could actually watch every race. Def worth the purchase. Love this sport so much fun other than the Verstappen Domination that’s going on currently lol. Gotta get into it.
What she didn't say in the video is that one F1 team has actually more doctors than in an average hospital. F1 is the test ground for new technologies. How many people? This can vary a bit but in general there can be 400 engineers per driver at the track and a supporting team of 400 people per driver at the factory, for real time monitoring where information flow between a car and supporting team is as fast as 3 milliseconds. What was left unsaid was that the cars are built not for the next season, but for the season after that.
Terrific reaction to my favourite nerd. You're exactly the people Cleo made the video for, and it was great to watch your understanding grow every time you had an AHA moment. One quibble: she's Cleo, not Chloe.
Hi guys. There are three F1 races in the US - Miami, next weekend, COTA in Austin (Oct)and a night race in Las Vegas (Nov) and 24 in a whole year. Chloe has followed up this video with another, much more detailed one where she visits the Red Bull factory in England and sees behind the scenes what goes on. Red Bull is currently the leading team and its drivers Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez are 1 and 2 in the drivers' championship. Thoroughly recommend it.
If you seen an F1 movie but don't know which one I would like to offer the following suggestions as possible candidates: Rush (2013) With Chris Hemsworth and Daniel Bruhl as James Hunt and Niki Lauda. Grand Prix (1966) with James Garner and Yves Montand There are a few other "movies" but those are mainly documentaries and biopics. The above two are the only ones considered as "real movie" even though Rush depicts real life events. If these are not the one you saw, I highly recommend both. 1:43 I didn't know we even had Formula tracks here. - This year, three US based races are being held (well, two left) We just had the Miami GP, the US GP (Oct 20th) on COTA (Circuit of the Americas) in Austin and Las Vegas (Nov 24th). In the past races have been held in Indianapolis, a Las Vegas parking lot, Detroit, Long Beach, Phoenix, Riverside (Moreno Valley), Sebring and Watkins Glen. Speajing of the miami GP is was the one everybody got superhappy about because Max Verstappen only came second instead of the traditional first and it was Lando Norris his first win. As a Max Verstappen fan (Dutchman here) I was not even mad about it, I was so happy for Lando, one of the nicest kids on the grid. A tip, find him on twitch (landonorris) or youtube (Lando Norris and Quadrant) for some fun content. He and his team (online that would be Quadrant) do a lot of sim racing. Same goes for Max and his "Team Redline". tbh, despite Miami being a banger this year, most European based fans do not like Miami or Las Vegas as far as it comes to F1 (no shade on the actual cities intended) as they are way to "American" with the WWE Announcements and the whole circus around it. On a positive note though, Las Vegas first race last year after the parking lot debacle in the 80's was not as "bad" as we feared. It is funny she uses the Mercedes as example which has been horrible the past 3 years since the cost cap was introduced. Don't get me wrong, they are still one of the biggest teams and their drivers are big names. Especially Lewis, a 7 times World Drivers Champion, absolute icon and legend of the sports. If you want to know who to keep an eye on when watching it would be Lewis Hamilton (currently fairly easy to keep an eye on in his soapbox Merc), Fernando Alonsothe eternal rookie and gigachad. Two times world champion and on the grid for over 20 years. And of course Max Verstappen, current raigning 3 times WDC who has been smashing 20, 40 and 50 year old standing records the past three years. Fun to watch is also Ferrari with it's drivers Sainz and Leclerc. Ferrari has been a bit of a meme the past few years. Horrible strategies, horrible pitcrew and to the point the drivers themselves actually started making their own strategies that proved to be better than those from the pitwll. You see a Ferrari fan/driver and they ask you something just tell them "we are checking". They either will be actually lauging out loud (fun fact, lol is the actual Dutch word for fun) or they will be traumatised for at least a week. I should stop writing, I have all this and we are only 7 minutes in..... IF I see anything I will make a reply comment to this one.
my first video of yours - but you seem to be very open minded, i subbed :) please more F1, MotoGp, rally, european soccer - I would love to see your reactions to that :)
I am a Sports Car Club of America member. Used to be one of those folks (yes, we had women too) waving flags on the turns. Before and even *after* the half a minute I actually got to drive in the 1990s. I'm an older guy..if I had a dollar for every time I've said, "..no not like NASCAR..", I could buy a new BMW. F1 is 'the point of the spear' for my sport, but IMO, it's the greatest sport on the face of the Earth. Competition is a human desire, even though we're a social species. Making better tools when you can is *also* a human desire. Like the old TV ads for the candy said, "Two great tastes that taste great together." I love Cleo's video. My first F1 race (not as a driver, I was *never* that good! 🤣) was in Dallas, TX, 1984. I was just as stoked as Cleo in Miami. Made me smile the first time a friend sent me the link to it. I'm a Hamilton fan, too. His first Championship (he's won 7!) was for McLaren. As a perk, they let him drive an antique that was driven by one of our legends. For more info about the legend, search "Ayrton Senna". ruclips.net/video/Zc2fs1LJLDg/видео.html
The aero is so weird, because you might think it's all about slick airflows i.e. laminar flows without those drag-inducing turbulences and pushing the air upwards with wings and then you hear they're putting air under the car for Venturi effect i.e. ground effect and intentionally creating vortices at many places in order to separate airflows and use those to guide air where it's needed and block it from flowing in undesirable ways.
The car is more significant than the driver but to get the best car, you have to be the best driver. Of course, that is not a rule and at times the second best driver wins but.. usually the fastest cars are driven by the fastest drivers: the driver is an investment from the team and the best drivers can select the teams they drive for. Backmarkers will get juniors, pay drivers and occasional veteran champion on the twilight of their careers, midpack gets average drivers, best teams get the best drivers.
First time seeing tuned port electronic fuel injection was at the Long Beach F 1 race back in the late 70's. Today every car has it. F 1 pioneer Ed so much of the tech that is standard today
Some interesting fun facts; 1. In the early days of Formula One if the lead driver in a team had a mechanical problem that would take him out of the race, the number two driver would sometimes be called in and the lead driver took his car. If he then finished in the points the number of points he would receive would be halved. 2. Every team in racing has a national colour. this is the reason Ferrari's are red as the national colour for Italy is red. 3. In the early days of Formula One all the teams were manufacturers of everyday cars. 4. Until quite recently Formula One drivers would also take part in other motor sports like Formula Two, Sports Car racing and some even took part in the Indy 500. The British driver Graham Hill won the Formula One World championship, Le Mans and the Indy 500 the only person ever to have done this.
Huge F1 fan here , family friend works at the Mercedes AMG F1 factory in Brackley and the levels are just ridiculous they even X-ray the parts to checks it’s construction , it’s just levels above any other motorsport the closest is probably moto gp rather than Indy car either though moto gp is bikes it’s also levels above anything else
Cleo is absolutely right! It's one huge science project with engineers working against other engineers to create the fastest, best handling, most efficient cars in the world. I don't follow F1 too much anymore since they got rid of the hallowed V10's. They just don't sound as good, even though they're quite a bit faster these days. Glad you guys got to see this. Like others have mentioned, her later video at Red Bull Racing should not be missed!!!😍👍👍👍
An engineer and huge F1 fan for years. One thing to know and accept is that the on-track racing isn’t always the greatest because of the disparity between the relative performance of the cars. Often one team is noticeably better than the others and they’ll dominate the drivers and constructors championship for a year or two; or more. We’re on the third year of a Red Bull dominance - only now are the other teams finally getting to the point of challenging Red Bull. You have to understand this ebbs and flows among the 3 or 4 bigger teams. Mercedes dominated for about 6-7 years before that; Red Bull for 4 year; Ferrari dominated in the early 2000’s; Williams dominated in the early 1990’s; McLaren dominated before that. The years of 2 or 3 teams and drivers truly battling for tie championships are limited - making them incredibly rare and exciting when they happen.
As another thing, the logos on the livery of F1 cars is painted on, they are not stickers. It was found that the tiny edge of the sticker was a drag! F1 cars are at the enth degree of engineering. Despite what you may think when watching them crash. The bits that fly off are the springs, shocks, front wing and wheels and tyres etc, all designed to be part of the slowing down process to help keep the driver safe. Safety nowadays is paramount in F1 cars. They are built with a shell around the driver made from carbon fibre and kevlar to protect in a crash or roll over. Years back when there was hardly any safety, cars were a petrol bomb on wheels. Jackie Stewart (a famed F1 driver of Scottish descent) became the leader of the drivers when they refused to drive any of the cars! Safety was slowly instated and now is very strict. Drivers have to wear fireproof suits (watch Romain Grosjeans fire ball accident) to see why. There is a lot more in F1 than just driving around an oval track. Every track, in every country around the world that F1 races is different, so testing both the car and driver. The numbers watching F1 is equivalent to the super bowl every day!
Love the video, and welcome to the world of Formula 1. It's the greatest sport in the world. 140 million is a lot, but back in the mid 00s, some teams were spending upwards of 600 million pounds per year. If you really get the F1 bug, it's worth looking at the history of the sport. It's fascinating, sometimes shocking, and extremely interesting. Enjoy ❤
Hi guys! Really love your channel. If you want to dig in more about Formula 1, this has a series in Netflix called "Formula 1: Drive to survive" and it's a documentary. Btw, am your subs from the Philippines ❤
In Hamburg, Germany in the Miniatur Wunder Land (Miniature Wonder Land) they have recreated the Monaco F1 Grand Prix race track in the scale of 1:87 where 14 race cars compeat in races which are computer controlled... they needed 14 years to build it with costs of more than 4 million euros. It was officialy opened in April 2024.
What I like about F1 is the sheer speed! A F1 car acceleration from 0 to 186 mph is 8 seconds only - top speed is 235 mph! And they are flying around corners ... epic! The pit stops for changing 4 tires takes 2 seconds only! And: Formula 1 is extremly safe! Watch / React to "Grosjean's Insane Fireball Crash" by "Drive To Survive".
Excellent video from Cleo, but sadly she didn't mention that it is also research for tyre manufacturers to "test" new varieties of tyres for ordinary use.
There's a Netflix show called F1 that is amazing. It's a documentary following the teams and the drivers and you get to know everything about it. It draws you in almost instantly.
The Netflix show is an annual documentary called Drive to Survive. While it emphasizes the drama and sometimes bends the facts for a more satisfying story, it's still a great way to become familiar with the sport and everyone involved. One of the great things about F1 is that, compared to other sports, there aren't that many key people (drivers & managers) at a time to keep track of. Watching the show will introduce you to all of them, their stories and personalities. (If you want the full back story, watch the episodes in order starting with season 1.) It's very entertaining too.
F1 was the F1 till the era of the v8 NA now the experience is not wild. The sound wave was so loud and intense to make vibrates the bones from kilometers.
You should look up John Surtees, the only man to win world championships on two and four wheels. F1 champion in 1964, 7x m/c world champion, and 5x Isle of Man TT winner.
Nice reaction! Also check out her video about F1 cars explained, where she is aloud into the Red bull F1 factory, it is entertaining and very informative.
If you enjoyed this i'd recommend Wendover's video on the logistics of F1. Its amazing to see how these teams and cars transport themselves all over the planet during race season.
On costs, unlike other races, F1 travels the world. That means, the whole teams, workshops, offices and hundreds of people working for one team ALL have to be moved to the next race 1/2 way across the world.The logistics are almost insuperable. Everything has to arrive 3 days before the race, has to be erected, wired up connected electronically etc and get the cars ready. All this costs a fortune, thats where the costs come in..
Take a look at " This is Bathurst " by Mark Larkham. It's Australia' s and arguably the world's greatest motor race . The way the vid is produced is next level adrenaline rush.
All salaries & engines aren't part of the cost cap. And F1 drivers brakes at breakneck speed of 6G, it's said to be like lifting ur refrigerator with one leg. She only mentioned the nerdy part of F1 & not the physical part of F1 racing, which is mind boggling & the best part.
You guys should definitley watch another video she did with the Red Bull racing team. You actually get to see a bit of their history as well as some of their race engineers and people involved in this science project!
If you havent already watched it, I'd highly recommend you watch the coverage of Romain Grosjean's accident at the Bahrain Grand Prix in 2020. (You saw a quick snippet of it during this coverage).

More than just the f1 racing team. Their sports car racing is probably more directly advertising.
Actually, Enzo Ferrari started as a mechanic at Masarati ( not sure if I'm spelling that right). They were the big name in Grand Prix racing, before there was a Ferrari company.
F1 is the gold standard of motorsport 🙂
Her passion for the sport really shows here, I love this.
The cars used to cost 400 to 500 million before, but FIA put a limit on spending to help lower placed teams to compete with the big dogs.

Hey guys.
The Miami race is on the 3rd may.
I doubt you'll (ya'll) get tickets now but you can watch it on TV.
I've been watching F1 since the 60s and will never stop.
Big hugs from sunny England.
✌❤🇬🇧
Might want to edit the date there mate.
@@lawyerslondon well spotted.
Cheers mate. 😂👍
No thanks. I'm only here because I like dirt bikes and youtube thinks I want to see rich people play. Nope sportscar racing was taken away from us average Americans a long time ago. So I'll pass. No I don't watch NASCAR either. D thing ain't even real cars anymore.
@@donaldgrant9067 😂😂😂
Maybe you can apply the same innovations to dirt bikes and make a contribution to further scientific research and progress.
Or, you can learn to play the banjo and marry your first cousin.
@@coot1925 Nope on both going to sit back and just watch and laugh.
F1 is the coolest motorsport on earth and all about money.
We love those incredible engines voice, mostly V10 era…it fantastic to listen to the sound.
Und habt die F1 gekauft und für den US Markt chic gemacht. Fuck Unity Media.
This is the best reaction channel, they react to my two passions in life RACING SERIES and THE WARNING, impossible to find a better YT channel, thanks to mike and jess for this wonderful work and for supporting the best band on earth, Daniela, Paulina, and Alejandra
Cleo's channel in general is a breath of fresh air. She's so good at explaining complex things in a simple way. I used to be very into F1, but it just got too boring somewhere in the early 2000s, I started dozing off mid-race on Sunday, even worse when timezones made it so that some races were on at 5am or something in Europe.
It is still boring! So little overtaking. Bike racing is much more entertaining
When I was young, I heard Mclaren (then partnered with Mercedes) donated one of their machines that read and understood the goings on in their car to a children's hospital to be used in icu units. Due to mclaren pushing the onboard system to be able to read and understand even the smallest and faintest of readings in their F1 car, it greatly increased baby and toggler icu unit capabilities. And helped and saved lives. Society as a whole benefits from f1 technology in ways we don't even imagine.
I never thought I'd see ya'll checking this out! F1 is such a great sport, I became an addict about 5 years ago and now I look forward to every race weekend. Also Cleo Abram that does these has a ton of interesting videos in all kinds of avenues. Perfectly dumbing it down without making you feel dumb about it!
Formula 1 is really amazing, and it's a lot of engineering works that goes on behind the scenes. F1 companies like Mercedes,Red Bull and Mclaren helped developed quickly a lot of the machines in the fight against Covid. The wind screen in Indi racing cars were developed by Red Bull racing. These engineers can solve any problem very easily.
I've watched F1 since i was a kid (a very long time) and she is brilliant at making it as easy to understand as possible. Loved this video thanks to you ❤
As a F1 Fan myself,i loved seeing new people experience this thrill .
I have a HUGE crush on her. Her enthusiasm and intelligence is VERY attractive. Not to mention she is beautiful.
I have to admit I haven't been to an F1 race for ages, but when we lived near Brans' here in the UK, I never missed a race from the late 1970's until they stopped F1 races there. They were great
I went to the phx Grand Prix in 1990. 1 day tickets were $200 a day. No idea what they are now BUT if you volunteer they give you a race day ticket free. It was lots of fun to volunteer
As a real F1-Fan i still love to watch the vids from Cleo. And if you want to dive in deeper you should take a look at her vid as she was invited to the Red Bull factory where all that magic is created. For her it was an absolut privileg to get there. Even the best and veteran reporters have not been there now. And in this video i love at most as she talks to one of the engineers and in the background you can hear a F1 engine screeming in the test stand. Because this was the first time the new self engineered Red Bull engine could be heared in a video outside Red Bull videos.
You should definitely watch Cleo's updated F1 video from a few weeks ago! Very cool and informative
the movie you're referring too is probably Driven with Sly Stallone, F1 is like the space project of racing, so much research goes into every aspect of engineering including safety as showcased by the Roman Grojean crash
Probably 'Rush' - 2013 film directed by Ron Howard...it's a dramatization of the rivalry between James Hunt and Niki Lauda in the 70s...largely accurate true story although some elements were exaggerated for dramatic effect as most similar films 'biopic' type tend to do.
I totally geek out about the tech innovation. A few years ago Merdeces suffered a problem with getting the tyres to the correct temperature so they came up with a thing called "Dual Axis Steering" where within the rules they could change the geometry of the front wheels in a thing called 'toe' by pulling and pushing on the steering wheel. This helped them get the tyres where they needed them and also blew everyone's minds. Unfortunately the other teams managed to get it banned for the next year, but it's so F1 that they even came up with it.
F1 started way back in 1946 and contested over seven races . It really got going in 1950 when we had drivers such as Juan Fangio - Stirling Moss and Alberto Ascari as the main driver with a second car being driven by a lesser known driver who if the senior drivers car broke down had to give his car to the main team driver . With Ferrari - Mercedes - Alfa Romero - Lancia - Maseratis - Cooper . In the 49/50's there were only 7 races throughout the year to find the best driver . Now , 2024 , there have been 24 Grand Prix races . In my opinion the best racing years were in the 60/70/80's when the drivers were basically " Playboys " who lived life to the full , including one who would be out the night before the race drinking and entertaining beautiful ladies . He would arrive at the race track just before the race started - jump into the car and win the race . This is well documented not just him but a number of others with the knowledge that they might be killed , as many were . Not like todays drivers who train very hard all year to keep physically fit and are also highly knowledgable engineers .
Hi friends, in Hamburg´s Warehouse District (Speicherstadt) is the Miniatur Wunderland. They just opened their version of Monaco and the F1 race there.
Also looking forward, there is already a Formula E. As with combustions engines this will be a giant experiment for security and efficience.
Keep your family safe.

3:51 - just for a comparison between Indycar & F1, one of the only tracks that both cars have actually raced at is the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, TX. The fastest laptime an Indycar did was 1:46.018. The fastest F1 laptime was 1:32.029, 16 seconds faster. For context, 16 seconds in racing is a lightyear! Over a race distance of 58 laps, the Indycar would have been lapped approx. 8 times! F1 is absolutely insane
Cool fact, 6 of the F1 teams are based in the UK. Some say the home of F1.
They are not British teams tho
"i honestly tought it was only in europe" we need a reaction to the reaction here :D love you guys btw!
All the driver's are heroic, brave, daredevils, strong, fit, intelligent
The "nerd" explanation is funny and spot on. It basically started with some enthusiastic carmechanics trying to out-mechanic each other. And now it is incredibly high tech and all of these teams have some super smart people working for them. Also they don't just need the smart people to make the car, but also to make the machines they need to make the car. Since they make almost everything themselves and it has to be cutting edge they can't just buy parts from a parts dealer. So in fact this really is like NASA trying to build a spaceship.
when i finished school i was lost.
then a revival from a old team brought me back to F1.
I loved it so much i chose to do a Mechanical Engineering Degree...and spend on average 1 hour a day, everyday for the last 30 years...studying the sport, following the news, latest tech, new updates, changes in designs...etc
I also race in karting and simulators
...F1 is not just a sport, its a mindset! to be the most creative and innovative, as far as the human mind can go, to harness the laws of the universe...to make a car go the fastest!
to be methodical, calculated, precise, focused...
its a quest for the extreme, the ultimate, the absolute edge, the quest for perfection...the pushing of my limits to become a better version of me!
Cleo’s latest video with red bull is an awesome deep dive into more of F1. It offers a lot of insight into the human collaboration behind an F1 team. Its a must-see for anyone who are into the sport.
So aerodynamic that JUST LIFTING OFF THE ACCELERATOR will slam you into the seatbelts with 2 g's of force.
Just when I thought it couldn’t get any better, she pulls out a Lego set marry this woman
Ha ha yes Lego’s the icing on the cake
How great is Cleo? One of the best explanations Ive seen on what F1 is all about.
As to the why do we do this? Well, an alt explanation is that the British car industry was destroyed by the militant unions of the 70s ... but the world class engineers and fans basically said fu and just cracked on with creating a whole other level of tech "projects" to deliver the best of the world they love.
When you take a step back, for such an international sport its bonkers how many of these teams even to this day are based in a relatively small part off England!!
I don't recall channel names but a while back I watched a couple of good ones just focusing on the transportation logistics of moving these teams all over the world... worth searching for a good one to react to.✌🏼🇨🇦
I’ve been into F1 since 2015 and got F1 tv when it came out in America so I could actually watch every race. Def worth the purchase. Love this sport so much fun other than the Verstappen Domination that’s going on currently lol. Gotta get into it.
Thank you for your very entertaining review, very nice
You need to react to.. ISLE OF MAN TT .. you will be speechless.. its the biggest motor bike road race ever..
What she didn't say in the video is that one F1 team has actually more doctors than in an average hospital. F1 is the test ground for new technologies. How many people? This can vary a bit but in general there can be 400 engineers per driver at the track and a supporting team of 400 people per driver at the factory, for real time monitoring where information flow between a car and supporting team is as fast as 3 milliseconds. What was left unsaid was that the cars are built not for the next season, but for the season after that.
Terrific reaction to my favourite nerd. You're exactly the people Cleo made the video for, and it was great to watch your understanding grow every time you had an AHA moment. One quibble: she's Cleo, not Chloe.
Hi guys. There are three F1 races in the US - Miami, next weekend, COTA in Austin (Oct)and a night race in Las Vegas (Nov) and 24 in a whole year. Chloe has followed up this video with another, much more detailed one where she visits the Red Bull factory in England and sees behind the scenes what goes on. Red Bull is currently the leading team and its drivers Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez are 1 and 2 in the drivers' championship. Thoroughly recommend it.
Try Bathurst 1000. Annual race on Mnt Panarama, Australia
If you seen an F1 movie but don't know which one I would like to offer the following suggestions as possible candidates:
Rush (2013) With Chris Hemsworth and Daniel Bruhl as James Hunt and Niki Lauda.
Grand Prix (1966) with James Garner and Yves Montand
There are a few other "movies" but those are mainly documentaries and biopics. The above two are the only ones considered as "real movie" even though Rush depicts real life events. If these are not the one you saw, I highly recommend both.
1:43 I didn't know we even had Formula tracks here. - This year, three US based races are being held (well, two left) We just had the Miami GP, the US GP (Oct 20th) on COTA (Circuit of the Americas) in Austin and Las Vegas (Nov 24th). In the past races have been held in Indianapolis, a Las Vegas parking lot, Detroit, Long Beach, Phoenix, Riverside (Moreno Valley), Sebring and Watkins Glen.
Speajing of the miami GP is was the one everybody got superhappy about because Max Verstappen only came second instead of the traditional first and it was Lando Norris his first win. As a Max Verstappen fan (Dutchman here) I was not even mad about it, I was so happy for Lando, one of the nicest kids on the grid. A tip, find him on twitch (landonorris) or youtube (Lando Norris and Quadrant) for some fun content. He and his team (online that would be Quadrant) do a lot of sim racing. Same goes for Max and his "Team Redline".
tbh, despite Miami being a banger this year, most European based fans do not like Miami or Las Vegas as far as it comes to F1 (no shade on the actual cities intended) as they are way to "American" with the WWE Announcements and the whole circus around it. On a positive note though, Las Vegas first race last year after the parking lot debacle in the 80's was not as "bad" as we feared.
It is funny she uses the Mercedes as example which has been horrible the past 3 years since the cost cap was introduced. Don't get me wrong, they are still one of the biggest teams and their drivers are big names. Especially Lewis, a 7 times World Drivers Champion, absolute icon and legend of the sports. If you want to know who to keep an eye on when watching it would be Lewis Hamilton (currently fairly easy to keep an eye on in his soapbox Merc), Fernando Alonsothe eternal rookie and gigachad. Two times world champion and on the grid for over 20 years. And of course Max Verstappen, current raigning 3 times WDC who has been smashing 20, 40 and 50 year old standing records the past three years.
Fun to watch is also Ferrari with it's drivers Sainz and Leclerc. Ferrari has been a bit of a meme the past few years. Horrible strategies, horrible pitcrew and to the point the drivers themselves actually started making their own strategies that proved to be better than those from the pitwll. You see a Ferrari fan/driver and they ask you something just tell them "we are checking". They either will be actually lauging out loud (fun fact, lol is the actual Dutch word for fun) or they will be traumatised for at least a week.
I should stop writing, I have all this and we are only 7 minutes in..... IF I see anything I will make a reply comment to this one.
my first video of yours - but you seem to be very open minded, i subbed :) please more F1, MotoGp, rally, european soccer - I would love to see your reactions to that :)
I am a Sports Car Club of America member. Used to be one of those folks (yes, we had women too) waving flags on the turns. Before and even *after* the half a minute I actually got to drive in the 1990s. I'm an older guy..if I had a dollar for every time I've said, "..no not like NASCAR..", I could buy a new BMW. F1 is 'the point of the spear' for my sport, but IMO, it's the greatest sport on the face of the Earth. Competition is a human desire, even though we're a social species. Making better tools when you can is *also* a human desire. Like the old TV ads for the candy said, "Two great tastes that taste great together." I love Cleo's video. My first F1 race (not as a driver, I was *never* that good! 🤣) was in Dallas, TX, 1984. I was just as stoked as Cleo in Miami. Made me smile the first time a friend sent me the link to it.
I'm a Hamilton fan, too. His first Championship (he's won 7!) was for McLaren. As a perk, they let him drive an antique that was driven by one of our legends. For more info about the legend, search "Ayrton Senna".

The aero is so weird, because you might think it's all about slick airflows i.e. laminar flows without those drag-inducing turbulences and pushing the air upwards with wings and then you hear they're putting air under the car for Venturi effect i.e. ground effect and intentionally creating vortices at many places in order to separate airflows and use those to guide air where it's needed and block it from flowing in undesirable ways.
What a great presenter Abram is.
The car is more significant than the driver but to get the best car, you have to be the best driver. Of course, that is not a rule and at times the second best driver wins but.. usually the fastest cars are driven by the fastest drivers: the driver is an investment from the team and the best drivers can select the teams they drive for. Backmarkers will get juniors, pay drivers and occasional veteran champion on the twilight of their careers, midpack gets average drivers, best teams get the best drivers.
First time seeing tuned port electronic fuel injection was at the Long Beach F 1 race back in the late 70's. Today every car has it. F 1 pioneer Ed so much of the tech that is standard today
Some interesting fun facts;
1. In the early days of Formula One if the lead driver in a team had a mechanical problem that would take him out of the race, the number two driver would sometimes be called in and the lead driver took his car. If he then finished in the points the number of points he would receive would be halved.
2. Every team in racing has a national colour. this is the reason Ferrari's are red as the national colour for Italy is red.
3. In the early days of Formula One all the teams were manufacturers of everyday cars.
4. Until quite recently Formula One drivers would also take part in other motor sports like Formula Two, Sports Car racing and some even took part in the Indy 500. The British driver Graham Hill won the Formula One World championship, Le Mans and the Indy 500 the only person ever to have done this.
Huge F1 fan here , family friend works at the Mercedes AMG F1 factory in Brackley and the levels are just ridiculous they even X-ray the parts to checks it’s construction , it’s just levels above any other motorsport the closest is probably moto gp rather than Indy car either though moto gp is bikes it’s also levels above anything else
Cleo is absolutely right! It's one huge science project with engineers working against other engineers to create the fastest, best handling, most efficient cars in the world. I don't follow F1 too much anymore since they got rid of the hallowed V10's. They just don't sound as good, even though they're quite a bit faster these days. Glad you guys got to see this. Like others have mentioned, her later video at Red Bull Racing should not be missed!!!😍👍👍👍
I'm an F1 fan and a fan of your channel.
An engineer and huge F1 fan for years. One thing to know and accept is that the on-track racing isn’t always the greatest because of the disparity between the relative performance of the cars. Often one team is noticeably better than the others and they’ll dominate the drivers and constructors championship for a year or two; or more. We’re on the third year of a Red Bull dominance - only now are the other teams finally getting to the point of challenging Red Bull. You have to understand this ebbs and flows among the 3 or 4 bigger teams. Mercedes dominated for about 6-7 years before that; Red Bull for 4 year; Ferrari dominated in the early 2000’s; Williams dominated in the early 1990’s; McLaren dominated before that. The years of 2 or 3 teams and drivers truly battling for tie championships are limited - making them incredibly rare and exciting when they happen.
As another thing, the logos on the livery of F1 cars is painted on, they are not stickers. It was found that the tiny edge of the sticker was a drag! F1 cars are at the enth degree of engineering.
Despite what you may think when watching them crash. The bits that fly off are the springs, shocks, front wing and wheels and tyres etc, all designed to be part of the slowing down process to help keep the driver safe. Safety nowadays is paramount in F1 cars. They are built with a shell around the driver made from carbon fibre and kevlar to protect in a crash or roll over. Years back when there was hardly any safety, cars were a petrol bomb on wheels. Jackie Stewart (a famed F1 driver of Scottish descent) became the leader of the drivers when they refused to drive any of the cars! Safety was slowly instated and now is very strict. Drivers have to wear fireproof suits (watch Romain Grosjeans fire ball accident) to see why. There is a lot more in F1 than just driving around an oval track. Every track, in every country around the world that F1 races is different, so testing both the car and driver. The numbers watching F1 is equivalent to the super bowl every day!
Love the video, and welcome to the world of Formula 1. It's the greatest sport in the world. 140 million is a lot, but back in the mid 00s, some teams were spending upwards of 600 million pounds per year. If you really get the F1 bug, it's worth looking at the history of the sport. It's fascinating, sometimes shocking, and extremely interesting. Enjoy ❤
You guys are great, new sub God bless you :D
Thanks so much! Same to you friend 💚💜
she released also a video with her visiting red bull racings factory in UK.
I love The Warning and i love F1. So.....well, i am here for this :)
#NiceVideos #Reaction
Love From Germany / Heidelberg
🖤 ❤️ 💛
50 years 'this year' I've been a die hard F1 fan.
Hi guys! Really love your channel. If you want to dig in more about Formula 1, this has a series in Netflix called "Formula 1: Drive to survive" and it's a documentary. Btw, am your subs from the Philippines ❤
F1 actually shows us what fuel is the most efficient. It’s currently hybrid and has been for around a century!!!
Formula 1 cars, explained for rookies (with Max Verstappen).... even more behind the scenes detail, a must see
In Hamburg, Germany in the Miniatur Wunder Land (Miniature Wonder Land) they have recreated the Monaco F1 Grand Prix race track in the scale of 1:87 where 14 race cars compeat in races which are computer controlled... they needed 14 years to build it with costs of more than 4 million euros. It was officialy opened in April 2024.
The series on Netflix (?) is really great. Thanks for your reaction 👍
More F1 videos, please!
What I like about F1 is the sheer speed! A F1 car acceleration from 0 to 186 mph is 8 seconds only - top speed is 235 mph! And they are flying around corners ... epic!
The pit stops for changing 4 tires takes 2 seconds only!
And: Formula 1 is extremly safe! Watch / React to "Grosjean's Insane Fireball Crash" by "Drive To Survive".
...and to think the acceleration is a distant second to the deceleration and the G forces they're pulling there.
Great channel and great reaction
I love F1, My favourite is Ferrari's driver called Charles Leclerc, a Monoco driver
Excellent video from Cleo, but sadly she didn't mention that it is also research for tyre manufacturers to "test" new varieties of tyres for ordinary use.
There's a Netflix show called F1 that is amazing. It's a documentary following the teams and the drivers and you get to know everything about it. It draws you in almost instantly.
The Netflix show is an annual documentary called Drive to Survive. While it emphasizes the drama and sometimes bends the facts for a more satisfying story, it's still a great way to become familiar with the sport and everyone involved. One of the great things about F1 is that, compared to other sports, there aren't that many key people (drivers & managers) at a time to keep track of. Watching the show will introduce you to all of them, their stories and personalities. (If you want the full back story, watch the episodes in order starting with season 1.) It's very entertaining too.
F1 was the F1 till the era of the v8 NA now the experience is not wild. The sound wave was so loud and intense to make vibrates the bones from kilometers.
There's a long standing joke. Q : 'How do you make a small fortune in F1?' A : 'Start with a large one'.
Maaan you missed it, yesterday was in Miami and it was mad ❤
You should look up John Surtees, the only man to win world championships on two and four wheels. F1 champion in 1964, 7x m/c world champion, and 5x Isle of Man TT winner.
Nice reaction!
Also check out her video about F1 cars explained, where she is aloud into the Red bull F1 factory, it is entertaining and very informative.
If you enjoyed this i'd recommend Wendover's video on the logistics of F1. Its amazing to see how these teams and cars transport themselves all over the planet during race season.
On costs, unlike other races, F1 travels the world. That means, the whole teams, workshops, offices and hundreds of people working for one team ALL have to be moved to the next race 1/2 way across the world.The logistics are almost insuperable. Everything has to arrive 3 days before the race, has to be erected, wired up connected electronically etc and get the cars ready. All this costs a fortune, thats where the costs come in..
Take a look at " This is Bathurst " by Mark Larkham. It's Australia' s and arguably the world's greatest motor race . The way the vid is produced is next level adrenaline rush.
All salaries & engines aren't part of the cost cap. And F1 drivers brakes at breakneck speed of 6G, it's said to be like lifting ur refrigerator with one leg. She only mentioned the nerdy part of F1 & not the physical part of F1 racing, which is mind boggling & the best part.
You might also want to check out World Rally Car series if you any some off track high speed and crashes
They started doing more in America a few years back. Miami is a standard but they've also done races in Texas and I believe Las Vegas
Williamsracing invented the flywheel which is used in almost all busses today
Funny how she explained the scientific growth as flywheel
Active suspension was created by Williams racing which allowed them to dominate the championship
you should react to the formula E video she also made. kind of the followup video to this
You guys should definitley watch another video she did with the Red Bull racing team. You actually get to see a bit of their history as well as some of their race engineers and people involved in this science project!
I would highly recommend checking the another/latest video Cleo did bout F1 with Max Verstappen
Mercedes, Ferrari and red bull used to spend about 440-470 million a year before the cost cap 😂 140 is a pretty huge cut back!
She has an updated video of this, I hope you watch.
Cleo is just absolutely gorgeous, a natural beauty. Im just here to see her... 🙄
If you havent already watched it, I'd highly recommend you watch the coverage of Romain Grosjean's accident at the Bahrain Grand Prix in 2020. (You saw a quick snippet of it during this coverage).
Highly recommend watching Drive to survive Netflix series on f1 . Really is some good stuff
This is basically upgraded chariot racing!
