I'm no engineer, but I _do_ get how much brainpower goes into designing, constructing, and maintaining such a beast as an F1 car. And that appreciation doesn't stop at F1 for me; Far more often than not, I consider what it took to make a thing that SEEMS simple (but isn't), as well as the obviously-complex. Respect to all those that do it.
He reminds me a lot of my physics teacher from 12th grade. Very calm and composed and the hand moves on the white board like a boat cutting a smooth line through a river. Also, great explanation. I am a little shocked that I could understand everything. Props to your visual demonstration!
@@MercedesAMGF1 how would one optimize spring rates and damping to make the cars pillowy-soft over bumps, but also maintain high mechanical grip, and also dampen out movements quickly to maintain consistent loading of the tires' contact patch (but gradual enough like someone catching a baseball with a glove to stop it from hurting their hand)? Also how would tire pressures, camber and toe be optimized for the highest possible mechanical grip theoretically on offer by the tires?
@@MercedesAMGF1 how do dampers switch the damping intensity/viscosity of fluid medium for fast vs slow bump, rebound. Is it possible to have a suspension that will be gentle on the drivers' bottoms (and allow for easier vision without porpoising shakiness) and still maintain stable aero platform (kinda like how the drivers would like the 2022 cars to be)? Does the team also work in tandem with the Formula E team to draw insights on problems such as this?
My biggest respect for Mercedes the recent years. So entertaining, educating and open about everything. Nobody deserves these F1 titles more. Hope they win many more.
I've never driven that fast, but I've driven on ice, and watching this video, kept hitting "pause" to recapture that feeling and reconcile it with your diagrams. To see something as intuitive as oversteer and understeer neatly broken down into vectors is a new experience for some of us. Thanks for this window into your world.
Videos like these would help with ignorances of people that say “car go circle, much bore” thanks for these videos, makes me love the sport more and more
Exquisitely insightful & intriguing feature, eminently demonstrating how the dynamic of the car intrinsically corresponds to how the car’s performance (brake bias & brake callipers correlates under braking), applying more front end with the evolution of the circuit, excellent visual demonstration in regards to the cornering force with the vertical load differential, from the rear axel, discussing the core stability of the role bar, ensuring the setup of the car is stable for the car to perform efficiently and effectively! Excellent & fascinating feature!
*This is the best PR* in my opinion! I was a Red Bull fanatic but I can't deny that now with those 3 videos that go more in depth, I'm steering (pun intended) to you guys! Just *keep uploading those analytical videos* and *I'll turn silver any time now* !!!
We welcome all fans, whether they are new, old, die-hard or casual fans. And whether you're a fan of ours or not, we are so appreciative of the support, interaction, love and kind words we get on our social media platforms.
@@MercedesAMGF1 I know you hear that a lot but y'all rock! In Singapore 2018 I had the opportunity because of me winning a comp. to have a paddock pass and you were the only team kind enough answer my questions and show me around the garage! You really deserve to be No.1! Thanks!
When Andrew was talking about having a stiff front and soft rear, and overloading the front due to tire sensitivity, this actually can disguise itself as snap oversteer as well, where the car initially pushes because the front is overloaded, but then once the car scrubs enough speed and the front hooks back up, the car can go into an oversteer condition. A lot of people struggle with that concept because they associate oversteer meaning the lateral stiffness is to far rearward. Pretty awesome stuff, keep these kind of videos coming!
So the sudden grip of the front end upsets the rear tyre loading and brakes traction. Yes I’ve wondered that But it’s hard to convince people that’s what’s happening
I love motorsports. What I ADORE is the mental exercise of learning as much detail as I can about HOW the cars work and what the performance is actually generated by. And Mercedes-AMG is the best team, by far, at providing the opportunity by offering things like this to interested fans. If I could start over and ‘do it all again’ this is where I’d aim myself. The engineering of motorsport. Cannot thank you enough for these experiences!
Thank you Mercedes into giving some in depth guidance to car setup. I am working on a personal project to simulate and fine tune car setup in a computer env for open source and this type of information is highly useful for me as I am not from a mechanical engineering background. Looking forward to more videos like this. Cheers
The Sim racing community thanks you for this. Car setup time is one of my favorite parts of driving and one of the quickest way to become fast once you tune in the right set up for your specific driving
Glad to see an explanation of load transfer and tyre load sensitivity. That is probably the least understood concept I find when reading forums and general opinions.
Was Andrew ever an engineer professor? Excellent teacher explanations. Is so rare to see an intelligent person explained complex subjects to a neophyte in terms we can understand, Bravo Andrew 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
wow, understanding all this makes watching F1 that much more interesting, very nice explanations ! If rear tyres heat up more and have so different inputs, why aren't you allowed to use harder compounds on them ?
I don't think teams would prefer that either, I think the fact that the rears are bigger in size than the fronts is just about enough to make up the difference in efforts and still making the car fast
Basically, because no. It makes things simples tbh, not having mixed sets and stuff. That could be a big issue in the pits. It's also seen as a bit of a challenge the engineers are meant to work around. However, it's usually not that bad. It's a thing that exists, but it's already well known and it's been thought through.
As a Master degree student in Automotive Engineering This video is pretty good for beginners to understand vehicle dynamics. BTW .I am working on 4WID-EV
Mercedes, you’re not ahead just on the championship, but also on contents to the fans! What an impressive dynamics lesson I had right now! This educational video will not just increase my love to the sport, but made all the physics learned at school making sense! That’s how school should teach!
I love F1 because it's an engineering competition as much as it is a driving one. Unfortunately, the engineering competition isn't as visible. Videos like this that give some insight into what the engineers are thinking about are fantastic!
Shov is just a genius. You see true knowledge in people who can explain difficult things simple to understand. This man is a big part of mercs domination. Keep up the good work. Greetings from a ferrari fan hoping for better competition 🙋🏻♂️
To teach a subject you must first know it intimately. We all know that either as students seeing a professor struggling to answer a question or as the fortunate/unfortunate few that have had the chance to try and teach anything. In that sense, this was a magnificent video.
25:38 anyone who tried driving a formula 1 car even in a simulator with no assists shall have a look and appreciate the insane skill those drivers have. Simple thing, drive out of a garage, done with so much grace. Slight oversteer. beautiful
Guys can you make a video about predicting race and how do you analyse data during the races. I am pursuing major in Computer science and want to work with a racing team in future. If you could shed light on that part of racing, then it would be great
I love these informative series from Mercedes. It really helps fans look into formula 1 not just in terms of who crosses the finish line first but really understand what teams do during an entire race weekend. So much insights learned from these videos. I love it! Go for 7th Mercedes!
This video reminds me of my engineering lectures at uni. If only there were as interesting as Andrew’s explanation. Simplified a very complicated topic. You can get a doctorate in Vehicle kinematics and still be learn new things everyday 😂
“Before you jump into changing something, you try and understand it.” What this called to mind for me was Haas last year, when their constant complaint was that they didn’t understand why the car was reacting in the way that it was to the changes that they were making.
@@ameya2328 I've known Nordschleife for almost 15 years now though xD But I understand where you're coming from. Setup is another factor though. I still can't find the right balance in the F1 game but that's probably due to the fact that I haven't done enough time in a simulator on the circuit.
awesome video! So much to learn and discover about what really goes on behind the scenes of setting up a GP-winning machine. More vids like this please!!
I don’t understand it either (not an engineer) but will keep watching and learning. This is what makes F1 so interesting and they’re smart in providing these videos knowing that the sport will grow as the audience learns more about the engineering side.
Absolutely wonderful video. This really helps me expand my knowledge on the sport. Would have been of great help if this video were made 5 years ago when I was doing my mechanical engineering though- really does bring out the excitement to learn the subject! On a side note, it would be great if the others can do something to actually bridge the gap between the Mercs and themselves. Top work from the Mercs to stay on top of the game year after year.
would be verry cool if you could shows us a little bit of how mercedes design and simulates its cars in general, like showing a little bit of softwares and the engineers that are involved
26:13 Woah, my man's basically proposing Formula 1 cars to become like those "T180" Cars from the fictional _"Speed Racer"_ (2008) movie, that would be pretty dope though, as a Future Generation of F1 maybe 15-20 years from now in the future XD. I loved this video, I like the Dynamics of a racing car and learnt so much here from one of the very best ones at the current Championship Winning Team. Respect 👍🏻, keep up the good work, people! 💪🏼 I'll stay tuned for your future videos...
As an aerospace engineer, this is why F1 is my favorite sport and favorite pastime. A sporting competition that emphasizes engineering.
Same here from an electrical engineer. It is quite an amazing universe for us.
My love for F1 is one of the manifestations of my love for physics, so I get it!
emphasizing engineering = overblowing boredom

As an Engineering student I appreciate this insight
Am I the only one who is watching this primary to improve setup skills in the F1 game? :D
I'm watching to do that in all racing games 😝
Racing point is watching, to copy cat the setup too
Same here 😅
Here for the same reason
Codemasters' simulation engine is crap, go 0 downforce front, max downforce back, and soft rear suspension and just slide around every corner
He reminds me a lot of my physics teacher from 12th grade. Very calm and composed and the hand moves on the white board like a boat cutting a smooth line through a river.
Also, great explanation. I am a little shocked that I could understand everything. Props to your visual demonstration!
This simple science series is so fascinating and fantastic to see how engineer’s operate and their thought processes through race weekends! Thank you!

This has been my favorite class this semester

Congrats to Shovlin for explaining the concepts in a very understandable way. Fantastic video.
Greatest Technical video ever! Once again, thank you, Mercedes.
Ferrari:write that down, write that down!
Id say the Racing Point engineers would have said that
@SUPREME MEGATRON Thanks Cpt Obvious! Or is it Oblivious?
@SUPREME MEGATRON nice joke
I'm new to F1 , and this has made a whole lot of things clear to me 😇!! Thanks Mercedes
Divyesh gupta good to hear, and welcome to our sport! 👏
As a young aspiring race car driver knowing this stuff makes my learning experience much easier
When I see Andrew Shovlin I know the video is going to be great!
He is a delight indeed!
Dear mercedes,
You should do more of these kind of videos really helps and inspire us as budding engineers.
I have been following them for a while but I found only a few related to vehicle dynamic. My suggestion was they should do it more often
Exquisitely insightful & intriguing feature, eminently demonstrating how the dynamic of the car intrinsically corresponds to how the car’s performance (brake bias & brake callipers correlates under braking), applying more front end with the evolution of the circuit, excellent visual demonstration in regards to the cornering force with the vertical load differential, from the rear axel, discussing the core stability of the role bar, ensuring the setup of the car is stable for the car to perform efficiently and effectively!

Yes I’ve wondered that
But it’s hard to convince people that’s what’s happening
WOW please, please do a part 2 of it.
And also similar content for other aspects of the car. Like chassis, motor, aero and such
I finally got how rollbar stiffness affects understeer/oversteer. thx
wow ... this is so freaking cool! Thanks a lot for putting the time on that!
This is one of the best content i've ever take about car design and set-up
Thank you so much Mercedes!! ❤️😍

As a sports scientist, I learn so much from your content with regard to forces, kinematics, and efficiency. Boss team!
That's the most physics understeer and oversteer explanation I've ever heard!
Wow having had physics one semester and having struggled with motivation this is very inspiring to learn more!
I didn't realise there was slip angle even when the car is gripping. Fascinating!

Amazing video...I could listen to Andrew explaining things 24/7
Best F1 video I have watched since lockdown! Thanks so much Andrew!
Great stuff as always, thanks Mercedes 🤘💯
Absolutely loved the video!! Thank you for putting in the work to make it. Would love to see more like these in the future. Keep up the great job!! :)
Thank you Mercedes, you’ve brought F1 home schooling to the lock-down without patronising your audience. Get in there!

Haha, I was also thinking how this video is a phenomenal quick course for the HASS dummies! THIS IS BETTER! 😁
