My friend was Nigel’s babysitter in 1986. She was with his kids at home staying up late watching their daddy race in Adelaide. Within seconds of the crash Nigel had borrowed a mobile phone from someone by the track and called them to say he was fine. Then he talked to his pit crew.
Cool story given that “handheld” mobile telephony wasn’t available in Australia until 1987. Prior to that it was car phones only, and VERY limited in availability, 😂

@@turbo_brian Looks like someone's living in your head rent free. Can't even joke about Baku 2018 without someone aggressively shitting on you for being a fanboy smh.
I remember Lewis Hamilton had a spectacular tyre failure in Turkey 2007. Bridgestone, the lone tyre supplier at the time, reported that drivers (Hamilton in particular) suffered from chunking. The chunking was caused by the combination of his driving style, the more aggressive tyre usage of his McLaren at the time and the stresses the tyres experience through turn 8. Over time, these caused the rubber compound to separate from the belt of the tyre, hence the chunking. This undermined the ability of the tyre to hold air in it, and in Hamilton's case, it failed under braking for turn 9. As Istanbul Park is an anticlockwise layout, this meant that the right front tyre was most exposed to this problem and the tyre failure, coupled with the failed tyre flapping around, it led to damage to Hamilton's front wing and he struggled to turn into the pit lane entry. The team changed his tyres but didn't change his damaged front wing. In the end, he finished 5th
Only a racing driver can say "...but Copse is just a high speed corner..." and keep a straight face. Genuinely made me chuckle. Enjoy the content. Keep it up.
I have always said that tires are the most important part of a car (and brakes of course). People dont pay much attention to tires, but a ton of engineering research and development has been done to take drivers from A to B fast and safely. The tire engineering for F1 cars is even more impressive, since these tires take an insane amount of abuse during a race. Well done Pirelli F1 tire engineers!
There's an old tyre advert, I think it was Bridgestone and I remember it in Australia. Their whole advert was how there is only 4 hand prints (the contract patch size) keeping you and your family safe. And from memory the ad shows the car stopping just in time as to not Knock over a child. Emphasizing you need good rubber to stop. However everyone sees them as black and round so they're all the same. It's the compounds that matter.
2005 United States GP at Indianapolis...Michelin tyres couldn't cope with the banked turn and the entire race turned into a farce with only the six Bridgestone runners taking part.
The most memorable tyre failure occurred when Scott's father, Sir Nigel, was leading the last race of the 1986 AD season in Adelaide and was about to win his first WDC when the his left rear exploded, thereby handing the championship to either Prost or Piquet. His teammate, Piquet, could have won the race and championship but the team decided to bring him in for new tyres. Since Prost had already suffered an earlier puncture, he was on fresher tyres, handing the race and championship to Prost. But 6 years later, the Lion of England, would finally get a deserved World title in the 1992 AD Williams FW14B. But the 1986 AD Williams FW11 is one of my favourite F1 cars and livery. The mid-80's is the golden age of F1.
sorry mate but silverstone 2013 Pirelli has revealed four factors behind the failures: mounting rear tyres the wrong way round, with tyres intended for the right rear of the car put on the left; adoption by the teams of too-low pressures; extreme camber settings; and aggressive kerbing at Silverstone.
Kph would be fine with me but I’m guessing a majority of viewers are located in USA and are casual fans, and if that’s most of your audience, it’s easier for them to understand mph 🤷🏻♂️
The only thing that probably should have been mention was the centrifugal weight of the tires at different speeds, compounds, & generations of tire. While all the other stuff that you discussed was happening…. The tire weight getting really heavy & then less heavy. This is where we get our explosion!!!!!
It’s just so crazy that with all of the parts we use in cars,and different materials,that the most important part is made of rubber and is the contact to the road,which can be very rough and tough,the crazy part comes in because tires simply work (tires as we know them now anyways)!!And this video amplifies how amazing tires are and how we trust tires to do what we need them to do in the applications that we use them for!!
Tires go thru weird dynamics, the part of tire that is behind axle center line has to speed up to go past center & then slow down to go behind centerline, it is way different than a fan spinning in a circle.
I’ve got myself a tire exploding on a road trip while only traveling 120km/h on semi-rough surface…. and it’s a pretty new tire as well with only about 30.000 km clocked in. I think I can understand if sometimes F1 tire gives up under much higher pressure situation.
What wasn't explained in this video is there are 3 forces acting on the tyre. Downforce: squishing the tyre Side force: pushing the tyre of the rim. Rotating for: rotating the tyre around the rim When you break and accelerate the force is transferred through the inner diameter of the tyre, whilst the outer diameter is trying to stay put. This is putting rotational torque through the sidewall. Top fuel dragster are a good example of this. The other mention is as I don't think FEW are running bead locks. The only thing attaching the tyre to the rim is friction. The air pressure is keeping that friction high, if you lower the tyre pressure there becomes a point where the one or all of the 3 forces are more than the frictional force of the rubber to the rim wall and then the tyre will fail. Bead locks prevent this, that's why extreme off road vehicles run them, as it's a clamping force and not a frictional force. So can run no pressure and the tyre will stay on.
Curious how the manufacturer of the tire blamed a phantom problem. A manufacturer that just so happens to supply the tires for the industry where a mysterious failure occurred. Kinda sounds to me like the Inverse Kramer Law should apply. I'm guessing either the tire had a defect that could have potentially been present in the entire batch or something failed, but not all the way, only just enough to create heat but no sparks yet slowly heat up a rim somehow enough to soften the bead of the tire to the point where the tire failed but again somehow without something else overtly failing like decrease braking power, partially locked wheel, not weird at all.
At 1:20, either what you're saying, or what you're showing is incorrect - The dispersion rate is the rate at which nitrogen and oxygen will 'leak' out of the tyre (hence why you need to periodically fill up your car's tyres)
Topic: How much does a driver get to test out the car? I only got into F1 a year ago, and I don't understand if the drivers can test out their cars as much as they want outside Fp1-3. PreSeason testing, is this the first time a driver can get into the car and take it around the block? Do 3rd drivers etc test out upgrades on the cars at the factory, or is all this done in the windtunnel. I'd love to find out.
4:13 its 27,000hp (20,133kW). Also with brake bias at about 58%, and the front loading of the car, the front tyres are probably doing about 70% of the overall breaking. Or about 9500HP per tyre. kW is a better measurement though. . The total braking of 20MW would power about 30,000 - 40,000 homes for that short period of time (~2s). (an average of 415W - 666W over the 24 hours assuming comfortable temps)
Sir Lewis Hamilton winning on only 3 wheels when his left front tyre exploded at Silverstone in 2020 is a moment I will ALWAYS remember! That was insane. Pure legendary stuff.
Sorry, Can you making a video about how Mercedes can kept their engine under operating temp with less area of side pod or packed with the area inside the pod, Thank you.
I was watching my hero at the time Nigel Mansell live in that race thinking new world champion when that tyre blew, I was gutted, though probably not as much as he was!

Have we seen a tire explode this year? Or even last year? It seems like these tires are way more stable than 2012 era. George Russel at Spa shows that.
2 corrections. 1. Cornering forces haven't been "only" up to 4g. I remember Bottas some years ago in a Mercedes in Silverstone going with 6.2g through the S. 2. Kimi could have changed tyres, of course. But then P1 would have been over. It was a gamble and he lost.
@@DaveMcIroy Hamilton Vs vestapen... Hamilton could have pitted but didn't, gamble he lost. And I think it was a recent one with Russell when they realised how long the mediums lasted. I'm not big on F1, just remember some of the highlights with the commentary saying about the pit strategy.
The actual answer to the question in the title is that the tires are deliberately designed to fail prematurely, in order to force the prescribed number of pit-stop. Sometimes they fail too prematurely
Tires are truly underrated we forget how much abuse we puy them thru its really a skill if today a driver could make them last longer...because the F1 race is a sprint no fuel race
the KERS system, I can’t get too technical into how it works cause I don’t honestly know lol but it basically stores some of the energy from braking to use for acceleration.. would be a sweet vid if he explained it better/ in more detail but that’s a general idea
Since Bridgestone won't say it here, I will.... Bridgestone's tyres / tires over in IndyCar have gone years... over a decade?.... without such a failure. Heavier cars, on ovals where there are faster constant speeds than most F1 top speeds, etc etc. Perhaps the problem here isn't with tyres, but rather the FIA's spec that makes them fragile?
Yeah big over look is the hot hybrid recovery systems with their shieled an less ventilation hopefully they changed that for the new seasin..i didnt like thst closed off front inside of the rims...for wake controll needed more opening for releasing heat....!!!!!!
3:32 "3 g of lateral load" A 'g' is an acceleration, not a force/load. 3:35 "2 tonnes of downforce" A tonne is a mass, not a force. As for drivers standing on the brakes (3:59) "and I _do mean_ standing" - I have never seen drivers shift from the recumbent position to the vertical when cornering.

Why is it that drift car tyres don't seem to lock up in the same spot when they use the second caliper to start a drift, I remember seeing Nigel's tyre blow out and later he was told he would have won if he wasn't able to not crash.
Drift cars don't use such a soft compound as F1. As well, purposefully spinning the tires should help to even out potential flat spotting.
