nearly every team have same stuff..
@@TontsaPoika I know but Mercedes are very transparent and I love it.
@@chiragrawat1020 ye thats cool, people love to see what happens behind the race weekends :)
How things can change in the space of a year, though...RBR...Powered by HONDA...
Anthony was getting really comfortable in the Mercedes AMG F1 overalls.
M Man. He’s worn them for many years.
He’s Mercedes sim driver
I am a quite enthusiastic Mercedes F1 fan as I skrrrrt paste their HQ on my way to work, gasp, every morning. I think I've ascertained Anthony relationship with. Mercedes F1 by now. Ta!
He has been with the team since 2001 as a test/reserve driver. & as a Sim driver since the Brawn GP days :)
And to think 30 years ago ALL of this intel and data had to come from essentially one person. Well.. a few. At least two I guess 😉
So what you're giving us is a short view back to the past - 30 years ago...

Can I have a go?
no lisps allowed sorry
Guess not. 😢
rip Jimmer :(
They're scared you'll beat Lewis in lap times.
JIMMMMMMMMMMMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER I FOUND YOU!
The test driver looks like a 10 years older Linus Sebastian from LinusTechTips
PlittHD its Antony Davison, he’s a racing driver and commentator for Sky F1
Linus would drive an F1 car in sandals
Correction, sandals with socks
PlittHD. Who?
@@DSJEYES oh really?
Ferrari just use GTA 5.
Mario Kart surely. Let'sa go! Mama mia!
Lmmfao 🤣🤣🤣
That sounds like an upgrade - I could have sworn they used Goat Simulator to train drivers!
Explains all the spins
Could be why they crashed into each other at Brazil, the green and purple army trying to take one another out
I didn't know earlier that Anthony is a development driver for the team.
He's been a sim driver for us for many years
@@MercedesAMGF1 Oh, I see. Thanks for the reply.😄
these systems are so amazing the amount of technology and people that goes into the data collection and the actual sim itself hope you good luck when the season starts👍🤩
Seen this footage before but impressive nonetheless... brilliant team
Yeah remember it too. People forget that Anthony is still a development driver for Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One Team.
@@clansome exactly also like him...enjoy his behind the scenes commentary on race weekends...on the pit wall
Thank you #lewishamilton #mercedesamgf1team for the love🤩😍🇿🇦
I've seen it too but I just can't remember where...I feel like quali buildup for Montreal last year but I could be completely wrong
till now redbull was the COOL team. now, mercedes is the COOL team #1 for me
Why thank you, we're flattered
@@MercedesAMGF1 Mercedes stole Redbull’s Redbull and drank the whole can...
Then they grew wings...
@@MercedesAMGF1 6 years of domination
That comment didn't age well.
Very cool. Amazing how much work goes on "behind the scenes."
That helmet is one of the few you could choose on f1 2010 carreer mode
also noticed that. good old times
Eminently demonstrates the team’s accuracy of correlation! In particular rear downforce, comparison of the baseline setup
I love Anthony's helmet. I used to pick that one in the careermode in the F1 2010 and 2011 Codemasters games.
Fantatic and this is we are the absolute best F1, really interesting getting to see behind the scenes, thanks guys :)
I absolutely love Ant's helmet. Remember it from F1 2010 as the only custom helmet which looked good
LH and VB are the face of the team and more often than not get all the accolades, but, we forget that so many engineers (tech and non-tech) work pretty much round the year to give the two drivers an absolute beast. As an engineer myself, I understand the value of the backend team, which quite frankly is where the magic happens. More power to you guys 💪🤘🔥
very cool simulator love you Mercedes keep up the amazing job you guys can do
@Mercedes AMG F1 are absolute legends for this kind of fan access
I love you Mercedes, please continue the good work on F1 in the upcoming years. I know with the crisis you might leave, hopefully not. Because I love you. I know that doesn´t pay bills, but still.
Really cool to see every body doing there part in the build up to a race. Getting every tiny bit from the car to crush the opposition again and again 👍
Every detail needs to be maximised and everyone in the team plays their part in doing that!
@@MercedesAMGF1 I hope Lewis is not leaving for ferrari that would be bad
Ferrari is like. Mama mia should we test in 150cc ?
Fantastic!!! Mercedes the best team in the moment.
But can it play Crysis?
@DONALD TRUMP bruh
Wow thats old
Definitly a boomer meme
@@koneksilemot9049 LOL!
Its 2020, basically everything can run Crysis nowadays...
@@SacRoScz shhh don't tell anyone
I went to brackley for a 5 day work experience and I went to the simulator. Stoffel vandoorne was testing in the simulator and Brendon leigh was in the simulator room who I started chatting with. I am so lucky to get that experience and it is amazing to watch these videos and recognise where abouts they are in the whole department.
We hope you enjoyed your time at the factory
Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One Team I definitely did. It was amazing! Would love to have the chance again
Can I get this simulator at home? Hahaha, just kidding. Awesome video!
fantastic job ✌️
great work Anthony
there is a lot more skill involved in these sports than I initially assumed. I have been simracing casually for a year and I still can't feel setup differences a lot, let alone being able to recall previous setups feeling similar. The differences are very nuanced and small. You also have to consider that the force feedback from sims is nowhere near close to real driving, where you can add a lot of intuition based on how your seat vibrates and really feel the tyres
And how the glories nearly break ya neck so there is a mental and physical element to ride performance due to the operator.
The seat of the pants feel
Very Cool! I have a much better understanding of the sim now!
00:40 This is the 1st Q3 lap from 2018 TV feed onboard channel. Do you guys use these kind of quali onboards to do any type of analysis? For example, at 01:00, Lewis took the T3 kerbs a little bit less than ideal (maybe braked a bit too late?). He knew it of cause and I'm sure he would try to improve that part in the 2nd lap (taking more kerbs). But are these onboard images useful for you, or the engineers would just use the telemetry to tell the driver where he could improve?
Setup looks pretty Good
Damn I thought the sim was like fort knox for every team. Thank you merce
Excellent team!
This is great please let us know more of how setting up a car for a race works
Must be a very nice experience
“.......I can come again then?”
“Ah, yeh sure.....”
Impressive thank you Mercedes
He's really really good. Codemasters really need to step their F1 game because there's no reason why Anthony Davidson finish outside top 10 in any simulator exhibition races!
F1 simulators are based on a variation of Rfactor Engine. F1 simulators are not the best simulators in term of realism & physics. But F1 2019 is a simcade game and i agree with you, this game need to step up.
@@risitoast8616 we'll I heard a team say they use the baseline and graphicals from r factor but the sim has been completely redesigned to specifically match their car. Don't just think it's r factor they use lol
Ruben Fraser they’ve used rfactor pro for years. unless something changed recently, it’s prob the same until today.
@@risitoast8616 From first hand experience let me assure you F1 simulators are the most realistic in-depth F1 sim you can drive. Codemasters attempt is awful, iracing is the closest to reality Joe Public can use.
@@iamthestog Drivers in some of the esports events we've had have been complained that iracing's tire model isn't realistic. It's too peaky, you don't suddenly lose grip in a real car like you do on iracing. The real cars are more forgiving. You can abuse the tires a little bit more without losing time or suddenly spinning out.
Anthony Davidsons helmet is giving me F1 2010 flashbacks
Really insightful
Some would really appreciate a description of the simulator itself. It's motion and mechanicals.
I'm sure other teams might too.
What a job!
Video Memorization is something I believe in deeply. Track Walks are also a must for me in the future.
Talented man.
Cracking frame rates .... that’s one powerful rig set up ...
Don't really think Antony Davidson is great on f1 coverage but boy he definitely got some skills to be able to read the car like that
I don't think people realise how hard that is to do with such confidence
Wow, I think he's really great on Sky F1. It's really great to have commentary and analysis from someone who knows the Mercedes F1 cars as well as he does. He must be pretty proud of the part he's played in their success. Hope Hammy appreciates it.
10x better than Karun Chandock
Everytime I visit Brackley to do work for Mercedes, I always ask my site contact if I can have a go on the simulator! It's always a firm "No...." but I reckon I'll get to have a go one day! I'll keep persisting.
Let’s cut to the chase....come see me on Iracing and we’ll settle this like men.
He only said that the rear snapped twice or so. He's not ready for iRacing.
I would set up a vr headset with this for the most immersive experience
What laundry products do you use it must be hell over there with those white shirts
Dream job!
That looks better than my G27.
Thank you!
The only super Aguri driver who didn't get destroyed by Sato!
Amazing
I love Mercedes like I love F1 games, they are both so interesting and fun
Must be running some really good tire models.....
That engineer 😂 true nerd socially
bro~! i dunno, mercedes should consider hiring you ~!!! the was smooth~
It's crazy now that they can do dif settings without turning a single bolt and getting somebody dirty
My son would love ago on this.
Great content, can we please get a video on telemetry?
That’s would be such a fun job.
*We have Unrestricted Access!*
Mercedes: Blurs screens.
Is the video he talks about with the race support team available anywhere? I cant find it
god i want one of those
Have you added the porpoising for this year's version?
Anthony Davidson for driver #2 please! 🤣😂
Imagine having that simulator but without the screen and instead having a vr visor or something on or inside the helmet
wooo that's funnn
It always kicks me, how graphcally worked out these simulator interfaces are. They don't need every single tree to be such detailled, they only do setup tuning, right?
Right
the trees are just copies from eachother like 3-5 different models
Serious question, but like... what game 'engine' do these simulators use? Is it the same technology of Asseto Corta/Gran Turismo/Codemasters F1 game? Or do they create their own?
Great video 👍
Look so cool
stunned ;)
Imagine what the real deal could be!
Brilliant
My favourite team
I have the same simulator in my Mancave ;)
My simulator is a controller :v
That’s crazy! And which sim are you using? Are you using just any game or do you have your own sim
They use Panthera from Cruden.
“Analytical brain” Hahahahahahaha the engineer just sat there trying not to laugh
What is the sim? rFactor Pro? Though this Monza doesn't look like one in rFactor 2. But niether like Monza in iRacing, Assetto Corsa Competizione and Project CARS 2.
Please please please let me in this one day Mercedes. 😊😊
I know you can't reveal too much because... ya know... competition... but what kind of software and hardware is this running on? Is the software mostly in house or built on top of a commercially available simulation engine? I'm sure it's running on a cluster to get the level of simulation detail needed, but how big? Mainly CPU intensive or is it optimized for GPU compute?
Cool to see
Genuine question:
Why the FIA suit and helmet, is it just for the video or always in the sim?
I would think that it only makes things harder.
(which is good if you want to train the driver but bad if you want to test setups?)
hydrusje Because they want to simulate the scenarios as close as they can. Also, the helmet is required in case of crash during the simulation. The cockpit moves during the simulation to give somewhat of a g-force feel to the test driver. If you notice in the video how he was able to notice the slightest adjustment in downforce from the baseline setup thanks to the motion rig.
A sim racer's wet dream
Cool
I'd like to have a go in that thing. I'd be more than happy to volunteer to do sim-work in place of the race-drivers if they don't feel like doing that, LOL.
Is it able to simulate dominance of the tail end of the mid-pack?
dude woudnt it be posible to use those sim for simulator races like they did whit that one porshe race
I need one at home
How did F1 drivers practice before these advanced simulators?
when he said analytical brain i thought he was kidding
Sure would be a strange thing to kid about...
i bet Ivo is fun at parties
I’m guessing there isn’t any motion platform for their sim?
Honesty, I think there are more complete sim setups in the simracing community. I don't see the cockpit moving when Anthony takes a corner. That's a feature a lot of homemade rigs have. Or am I missing something? They don't use VR technology neither, that's underwelming.
I say, perhaps that is the most powerfull Gaming Console ever
nice
