AMERICANS REACT TO FORMULA ONE (F1) EXPLAINED FOR ROOKIES || REAL FANS SPORTS

[@edwardwiekens5113]

The engineers and their teams from Teams like Redbull and Mercedes Produced also medical breathing machines in the Covid time. Hospitals hadn’t enough machines so the teams started the projects to create those machines to help the victims of covid in the hospital. Those guys are allround and so highly skilled engineers. Love what they did.

[@jgraaay18]

Also F1 teams are highly experienced at getting things turned around quickly due to the time constraints between races, so they went from 'we need this thing' to 'we have a working prototype of this thing and it's ready for testing' in literal days.

[@UKJesterVids]

I think the F1 teams are more interested in looking at synthetic fuels than going electric. I know the fans would rather it go that way, for the engine noise.

[@ajstyles5704]

@@RealFansSports ive been McLaren fan since 1995. Full electric requires more batteries which are heavier, we all know this, but F1 requires the car to be light, you put more weight only adds pressure to have more power but it lacks top speed(not in science, but the races), the problem ends up with top speed, as the weight ends up disturbing the Aerodynamics. As the rule changes, the light version of F1 cars are much easier to design than a heavy car. Batteries needs its next light weight form, and lithium is extremely dangerous for f1 that keeps pushing the envelope. So they won't be using eletric engines for the next few decades.

[@rmyikzelf5604]

F1 teams usually have a remote (off track) team of dozens of people in their headquarters analysing real-time data to make sure the car doesn't die and to help calculate the best race strategy given the situation on the track, tyre deg, brake deg/heat fuel load, opposition situation etc etc etc etc...

[@Sgt.chickens]

The cap in my opinion was less about fairness and more about Making sure the sport foes not become insanely expensive which would disuade Smaller teams and limit them. The main purpose of f1 is to push both drivers AND the cars and teams to the absolute limit. Driving innovation. Its not really "unfair" for a team to spend more money because if you have bad engineers it doesnt matter how much you pay them.

[@AnoshterHaar]

Maybe the intent wasn't leveling the playing field. But it surely has that effect. You can't really argue about the cost cap working. It is. The gaps are closer than a long long long time. And the gap between first and last is just way smaller. That is not just the reg changes, those are costcap and cfd time regulations. The fact that red bull overspend shows how detailed these regs are and are for sure impacting performance.

[@phillipmoore4533]

The cost cap is needed but IMO it doesn't bring the pack together my example Is when merc an RB spent 400 mill and 350 mill in 1 year haas spent 19 mill lol . I do believe in cost cap but I hope it also forces other teams to actually spend that same money. Just so we are all on the same page the actually car cost around 2 mill a car it's the R&D that takes the funding.

[@bloodymarvelous4790]

There are so many elements that contribute to being able to win a race. - Car design - Car setup - Driver performance - Pit stop strategy - Pit stop crews - Weather - Surface temperature - Track surface - Communication - Team strategy - Budget Each team has two drivers, and there's almost always a dominant driver that consistently performs better. Sometimes to the extreme. So it's definitely a competition between drivers as much as it's a competition between teams. Right now, Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris are very close performers for McLaren, and George Russell and Louis Hamilton are very close for Mercedes. But there is a huge gap between Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez for Red Bull. Of course the drivers can't compete if the car doesn't perform, but drivers can sign contracts with different manufacturers if they perform well, and improve their chances of winning by signing with a more competitive team.

[@MAXPAUERv]

[@viswajithsv2458]

The cap is great and honestly it makes for having the most optimum engineering solution. The driver salaries do not come into this cap. It is just building the car. And compared to Indy, the fact that each team can design their own car and improve within the regulations, pushes a whole team rather than just the car. So human complexity is much more involved because you have more minds cooking the soup called F1 car and within a team there are two drivers who have their own preferences which makes for two different cars from the same team. Indy makes the driver super valuable, F1 makes the driver and paddock team, engineers, strategist and the how everyone interacts, every inch of it extremely valuable. You can have the best car in F1 and if you cannot have the competency as your teammate can really show up bad. Just check this years F1 season. The drivers champion won 19/22 races, and his team won 21/22. His teammate was the second in the drivers championship list, but the champ had more double the points of the runner-up from the same team. So that does explain how important the driver is and the team around him which he gets his own team of engineers, strategist who are different from his teammate. Only the top management is the same who care more on the Team Championship. F1 is complex and a couple of videos do not make justice for it, but kudos that you guys are receptive.

"...each team can design their own car..." is not 100% correct. They are required to do so.

[@FlankerB3]

yeah, pre cost cap the difference between big teams and smaller less wealthy teams was huge. (For example Mercedes one season spent more than 400 million USD, while Williams spent less than 100 million). The cost cap evend it out a little bit. But R&D tokens are the biggest news. Each team receives the same amount of r&d tokens after a season ends which they use to develop and improve specific parts of their cars. Except when there is a new big technical regulations change (like two years ago with the new front and rear wing design etc). Teams then decide if they want to spend all the tokens right away or use most of them immediately, and then use the rest for mid-season developments. And each part costs a certain numbert of tokens. Here's the weird part - sometimes changing one thing (spending a token or two on a specific part) can mean that you don't have to spend tokens on developing other parts which have to be changed because they are in some way connected with the original part. For example Ferrari (a few seasons ago) redesigned their transmission and gearbox spending two tokens which then caused them to be allowed to completely redesign rear aerodynamics without spending additional tokens. Now new regulations are preventing that. They are not even allowed to develop new cars for 2025 season before the next (2024) season ends. And yes safety regulations are constantly improving. For example, an accident during Canadian GP in 2007 almost killed Robert Kubica, but he returned two races later. Similar accident in the following seasons after that were much safer because HANS was invented protecting the driver's neck. Then after that tragedy when Justin Wilson was killed by that piece of another car in indycar race in Pocono 2015 FIA started the rules change to give frontal head protection to the drivers. While Indy chose that framed windscreen, F1 and other FIA governed open-wheel racing competitions decided to go with HALO already proving itself as a life saving device - from Guanyu Zhou's crash in Silverstone to that terribly looking fireball crash of Romain Grosjean. Even that Monza 2021 crash between Hamilton and Verstappen proved HALO a worthy invention.

[@n4rf645]

While people usually latch on to the World Driver's Championship, F1 is innately a constructor's sport. Not that the driver's championship is not important (to the public eye it's more important) but the main focus is about who can build the best car within a set of rules. Which is also why I think the cost cap was neccessary.

[@simiangimp2282]

With the best teams, the cars are built around the driver to suit style, attitude and capability. It's usually that 'Formula' that wins most often. Prime example Schumacher. But the difference from Indy isn't that one is better than the other, Indy is good for that level playing field to test drivers, F1 is about the whole package, but certain constructors will be ahead due to new innovation from an area of their camp and it's up to the others to figure out how to keep up. It's sooo interesting, once you see that they all use the same size powerplants and that there IS still a fundamental level field for the base car specs and that everything else is the teams design input. It's mindboggling.

EVERYTIME an F1 car is running, the sensors are sending Gb's of information per second (ok, maybe per minute) to the engineers. Remember.. "The sport of nerds!" Thst's why comms are heavily used between pilot and engineer. The engineer has a ton of data on how each component of the car is running (or how it needs to be driven in order to perform).

[@remon037]

First you have to define what a sport is. Some people define sport only on the physical aspect. Some define it also in the mental aspect. (Chess). I define sport as everything where a person or a team complete for glory. F1 is a teamsport: Drivers, Cardesign, Pitcrew, Strategists work together for the win of glory.

[@RoosterDane]

So much goes into F1 that people don’t usually think about. For example, drivers have to be a specific weight because of how they’ve designed the cars. Their teams have built this machine to a certain weight for optimum handling/speed. If a driver goes into a race 5lbs over weight then it can make a huge difference to times and handling.

[@thomassf3]

Fun fact on the data that F1 cars produce, yes, they produce data all the time, An F1 cars have over 300 sensors which collect up to 10,000 individual data points every second! Each car collects over 1.5 TERABYTES of data over the course of a single race, they measure track temperature, tire degradation, aerodynamic performance, brake temps, airflow, engine performance, brake and throttle usage and even things like driver responsiveness. They use all of this data during the race so they can decide when to change tires, which compound of tire to choose (there are multiple tire softness choices) and team strategies are very dynamic and can change from lap to lap.

[@LovelyDoetje]

F1 is a competition between constructors in origin. They needed drivers to test and race their cars. So a driver is part of a team and also part of the development of the car. The constructors champignionship is most important, second is drivers champignionship. Because of the constructors you see F1 tech in road cars and you see roadcar tech being developped in F1 cars.

[@capri31x]

Formula 1 is such a strategic motorsport that its not just about the driver that wins. It appreciates not only their skilled driver but the team behind the construction of the car itself. The reason you may think that it would be unfair for drivers to swap positions is also cause of their points individually. If one driver from their team has more points than their teammate (due to the total of past races in the season with higher race positions) they are likely to be their first priority to win with a higher grand prix finish. Its so strategic that the races are not just about the drivers but they have to think of the type of wheels in pit stops, where they plan to do DRS and whether they should defend a teams driver or attack their position,… during a span of the 90 mins of racing in a 200mph/323kmph circuit.

[@eavandijk]

About F1 cars seemingly falling apart easily in a crash you could concider this to be a safety feature that protects the driver. It looks dramatic but every part that breaks loose from a car means less kinetic energy will be transfered to the driver at impact. That can make a huge difference at 200 mph. The cockpit on the other hand is designed to stay in one piece under all circumstances.

[@chocodrizzle7349]

I definitely say there’s a lot of science that goes into the races, but just to put it into perspective the difference between a fast car and a slow car is measured in not in seconds but tenths of a second. It’s up to the individual drivers to extract as much from the package they are given as they can. Once the driver is able to extract the cars maximum potential, that’s when the cars natural characteristics on certain track layouts (i.e. tracks with longer straights and low speed corners versus tracks wi shorter straights and high/medium speed corners) make the difference. But at the end of the day that’s what makes Formula One a team sport and so interesting. Just like in football where franchises try and draft the best players, coaches and staff; manufacturers do the same in Formula One when filling out their individual teams. The cost cap was mainly just to encourage new entries into Formula 1 instead of just being limited to the same old 10 teams forever.

[@CobraChicken101]

Indycar depends indeed more on the skill of the drivers, BUT if the indycar drivers really are better drivers..... they'd probably end up in F1. To end up in F1 you need all the things a top athlete has , talent, resisliance, mental and physical strength, a lot of luck, ... but more than in any other sport it depends on what your parents can and are willing to invest in terms of time and money, in a very uncertain future. As far as i know, from recent drivers, only Kimi Raikonen had really humble background, with quite poor parents that worked themselves to death to give their sons a future in the sport. All the others were born wealthy. Some may pretend they had it rough, but i call that fishing for sympathy, most of them really have no clue what hardship is. So are they the best, most talented drivers in the world? Hard to say. The current Champion, Max Verstappen , both parents are racers, his dad in F1 ( not very succesfull tho), so he has good genetics. They also had plenty of cash. His dad devoted all his time to get max to F1, from the age of 4. Oh and Michael Schumacher is Max his godfather. 😂, ..... just saying he was Bred for becoming an F1 champion. And currently there is no one even close to him, but he also has the best car. This beeing said, put these guys in a rally car and they will perform OK but will be far from the winner, they admit that themselves. But Are rally drivers more skilled ( and a bit crazy😂) ? I like the sport, have been an F1 fan for decades, but just for the tech and the racing , couldnt care less about the show aspect. F1 would ve been fine on the classic tracks, without Liberty media ruining it. It does not belong in Vegas, Miami , Abu Dhabi,...... . I am Sorry for the rant. Let myself go a bit 😂. Take care 🤘❤️

Boys, you have to check Formula 1 from the Golden Era - 1995-2008. Absolutely out of this world thing. Produced the best sound and the fastest F1 car EVER - the F2004, which even today when given the same tires as the modern cars, laps 2, 3 to 5 seconds faster depending on the track. And if you think $400 mil is a lot, back in the ultimate domination years of Ferrari, they were calculated to be spending between 1.2 and $1.5 Billion (that's with a B) on their F1 program. That was back in the early 2000s. Adjusted for inflation today that's more than $2.3 Billion.

[@crawlmanjrable]

13:50 about tax write offs. Some people think tax write offs will net you a profit or make you money but it won't. The only thing tax write offs would get you is no tax on the money spent. So you aren't saving money because that 430 million is still being spent but you won't get taxed on it for income but you still pay sales tax for whatever you buy. If the team makes 1.2 million from operating a F1 team then that 1.2 million still gets taxed so now you are out 430 million AND you pay tax on the 1.2 million you did make so the write off only serves to not pay tax on the 430 million you spent but doesn't "earn" you any money. Businesses will very rarely "write off" projects JUST for the tax benefit as you still need to earn money.

the cost cap is the only way to bring the designers and engineers back to the front of this sports. Yes in Formula 1 it needs a great driver, even more so than in indy car. Because the driver is not just driving, he is also developing the setup and the direction of the car. Formula 1 is a Team sport not only a driver sport. it is bad for drivers in less great cars but sometimes they can shine. Like Frentzen in 99 or Senna in 1991 or the brawn team in 2009.

Being an Australian who has been a fan of F1 since the 70's the most amazing thing about F1 is the winning 1966 Brabham car but also the F1 Champion Jack Brabham . He designed built and raced the car into the record books as the only Driver , Designer & Manufacturer to win the F1 clean sweep . It has never been done since and because of the new rules will never happen as its impossible for the driver to be involved with the cars design due to skill levels being spread over so many persons abilities .

Dunno if you guys already jumped off of the F1 train, but one of the best ways to compare what F1 cars do on track, is to watch the drivers train their neck muscles, to handle G forces around a track. Then watch Indy drivers, test drive F1 cars and their reactions, how they were physically incapable of holding their head up, to see properly in turns. Another would be to watch GT3 race cars take the corner Eau Rouge, at Spa, and then watch F1 cars take the same corner. The live footage of the racing doesn't often translate how bonkers this sport is.

[@countk1]

You have to see F1 vs road cars as an exchange in knowledge. You can see that brands that are competing in F1 (also in WRC btw) are so much more reliable then brands that don't. You also notice that ergonomics are better, such as placement of dials, levers, mirrors,... Simply said, a brand that races will ask more for their cars and that allows them to do more R&D. Some technologies come from regular production, are perfected in F1 and then trickle back down to road cars. AMG is a very good example of tMB cars also profit from that. I've driven numerous brands and it seems to come down to that. The Merc I have is a 2,2L diesel, consumes 49mpg at 90mph and 60mpg at 75mph , has an excellent warning system, dito for drive assistance. It will auto break if needed, independently on all four wheels, shifts or limits power to the right wheel. This is all thanks to decent R&D. They have driven it that far that I will get an email with a quote if the car decides it needs maintenance and you'll get an app that will give you all detailed data about the car. Dont' get me wrong: these developments are popping up everywhere but hardly as practical and to the point as this.

4:00 *Formula 1* is "Car Racing" which makes part of "Motor Sports". The importance of a driver is roughly 25% of the total package, while the remaining percentages are 25% chassis, 25% engine, and probably the most important part is 25% tires (also known as the black art) since it's the only component of the car that makes contact with the tarmac. Otherwise it would be called "Race Driver Sport" or "Pilot Race Sport". The difference of a good drivers and great drivers does not only involve around winning. A great driver has more to do with how smooth they drive the race line. Velocity does not win races, but smoothness does. Is their driving style to drive hard, break hard, and drive hard again, or drive slower before the entry of a curve and hit the apex at a higher speed? Drivers are also judged how they negotiate passing a car ahead of them or defend their position without causing any accidents. Great drivers has more to do with tire management, and are they a wet weather master or a rain master.

4:02 yes, in that meaning yes, it's better. Progress has been made in recent years to make it closer, but it's still very much a competition between the drivers AND the constructors at the same time. The rule of max $140mil was put in place, as at the end of 2020s, the poorest team (williams) was spending around $120 mil, meanwhile mercedes was spending more than 4 times that since 2015 until 2019. Is it better? Idk, I'm used to this format and at the end of the day, I just wanna see some cool cars go astronomically fast, even if the rules are completely made up and make no sense, since it's still just plain fun. And yes, it's very much a nerds' sport, it's not uncommon for top people in the teams to hold PhDs in their areas of expertise.

This is Europe, the limit was not because of "fair competition". That's really an American thing. The reason is more to keep it sustainable. To win a lot of teams in all sports in Europe, might want to overspend what they can handle.(/cough, championship clubs spending tens of millions on players in a second division to get a shot to get in the prem) It's a league security thing, not a "fairness" thing.

Cleo’s videos are sick keep on top of her drops

Even though im late to answering your question…. If kinda does/doesn’t affect the playing field. This past season there were a total of two teams who started to show improvement (it being McLaren and Mercedes) but however like you said the CAP but sort of a limit bc for instance (Red Bull). They had such a successful season that if they were to develop their car even more they practically would’ve already one the championship in just a matter of time. Now it being better than Indy is a stretch not gonna lie. This is because Indy like she said share the same chassis design and it’s up to the driver to showcase that power rather it being how it is in formula one. The teams are responsible for setting up their own chassis which we all should know by now but the performance of the driver and the car itself what makes formula 1 interesting. Hopefully this somewhat answered your question even though I’m late to the party.

NFL salary cap is something north of $200m? $140m to build the car, race it, repair isn't nearly as big of a sticker shock

[@johnchristmas7522]

There is already a formula for electric car racing- its called "Formula E"!! Going by the state of EV's at the moment, I think that F1 is looking towards other fuels including synthetic. As to the speed of these vehicles, the logo on the cars are NOT stickers, thats actually painted on. the slight ridge of the sticker is considered a drag!! Thats how far these guys go!

[@stuartanderws5705]

The designe of the car is done around the drive. If you like a tight front or a grippy backend you can get that. if the shasy is off the shelf and all the same it has more to do with if you drive well with that type of car. Verstappen loves his car His team mate hate it and wonts to go back to last years car. They wont let him

[@rudierasmus8162]

Hey guy are you still doing the reaction video's for F1? I would like a reaction vid for the Miami race please

[@jgraaay18]

You're not wrong about the team orders thing. There's some pretty famous instances; like the Belgian Grand Prix in '98, where Jordan's cars were leading in first and second, and the driver in second (Ralf Schumacher, Michael Schumacher's rather less successful brother) was ordered by the team not to attempt to pass his teammate (the Brit, Damon Hill) ahead of him, and instead focus on fending off the car in third place. Ralf was not happy and ended up leaving Jordan under a cloud- basically walked away from that race declaring he'd never drive for them again. Has to rankle pretty hard to be told you're basically your teammate's palanquin bearer... but when one driver is a dominant force and the other is... not so much, it's almost inevitable. Not the case for Hill and Ralf Schumacher admittedly, I liked Hill- a lot- but he really doesn't make anyone's GOAT shortlist.

[@notmaldonado]

4:20 indy is more on the driver, in f1 its a real team sport there are at some teams 700 people working

[@PulsingKrugotvoid]

"Does it mean indycar is better" well, yes and no. Like you said indycar is more about the drivers. F1 is about teams making the fastest car they can and develop through the season. Personally, i like f1 better. It brings out the geek in me

[@ppoad]

I love F1, but I even love Cleo more 😍

[@panamafloyd1469]

Guys..a crash video? Do y'all realize that to a racer, that would be like a football video with nothing but fumbles & dropped passes? Seriously though, nice reaction. And I think lil' girl was right about "Drive to Survive" bringing more fans to the sport here in the US. I've been a fan since I was a child in the late 1960s, and I've never heard so much chat about F1 until this last couple of years. Oh, and look into Lewis Hamilton's career. When he was first hired by McLaren, many folks thought it was a publicity stunt. "First black Formula One driver?!?" It didn't take him long to prove them wrong. My friends from the UK (I was also a flagman before & after I raced as an amateur, met other flaggers from all over the world at things like the 24hrs of Daytona & 12hrs of Sebring) who'd seen him as a kid in a kart knew he was the real deal. We all hoisted a beer in Lewis' honor when he brought it home in 2008.

ALL racing sports have a set of parameters that the cars need to be in. ALL of them.

[@DestinysComputer]

Formula E has an exclusivity contract to be the only electric race series until 2039, so F1 can't go fully electric until at least after that.

[@Finkele1]

and that evolution has changed modern day cars more safe, more fuel consumption, aerodynamics...well except tesla. Materials were used 1st in space travel and so on but down force is the key. In late 80 they had crazy raw power engines with wings that suck you to track. When you lose it like going over (i don't know it in english but anyways) break that downforce...you were fucked. crazy enough it was pretty much same with rally cars.

[@donwest5387]

close, competitive racing is the goal

[@FlixTraveler]

In my opinion, Formula 1 is more interesting than Indy. In Formula 1, it's true that the focus is more on the car. However, the driver must also be able to provide the right feedback to further develop the car. Max Verstappen, as an example, excels in all areas. Through his loyalty to the team, the team as a whole is able to perform exceptionally well.

[@gerardkuiper601]

See all records Max Verstappen did break on becoming wc in 2023 . His 3rd wc btw

There is Formula e, but still f1 has more fans.

[@itsmebatman]

Back in the day F1 had some influence on developing tech for the normal road car. But that was decades ago. Today anything "new" they come up with would be totally useless on a normal car. And that's because they are not trying to do that. They are only trying to build the fastest car they can. So everything they invent is specifically geared toward that. An evolution that makes a stupid fast car 1% faster has no place on the road but can win you a championship in this sport.

[@joedutchnl3948]

So the problem with the video that it is a lot more complicated than she explains. Every 4 years we get new car regulations and within those regulations teams built their cars. You are allowed to spend ca 135 million dollars (adjust for inflation) for the car. But what does that mean? Alle personel and departments that have an impact on the performance, development, transport, maintenance of the car except the top 5 personel including drivers. But it is really hard to discover which personel have an impact on this so the teams do clever accounting. Updating you facility is not directly related to the car or is it? So running an f1 team costs way more than 135 million but the top team cant do the following tactick: built 20 front wings or 20 differnt cars and pick which one works the best for which track or season. So far the cost cap helps the midfield is closer together within second. And it is a hinderence because teams don't development very vast. So you can't rectify mistakes.

[@fisheye375]

Electric is not THE future. It’s the future we chose. The future can go in the direction we want. So the industry can choose to go somewhere else. It all depend on them

[@Dutch-linux]

for electrical vehicles there is formula E for that 100% electric

[@justSkitBra]

tech from indy racing doesnt come to future roadcars. tech in F1 is invented for F1 and trickles down to all other cars eventually in some form.

[@ruxxie]

@04:40 well thats a fair point... so we all can run racecars from 80s.. right? only skill.. 0 improvement... GOT YA! F1 is the BlackSmith of Car stuff!

[@zackberry6729]

One thing to note is, the best drivers will get picked up by the best teams. And the cars are actually really close to each other in performance, even if certain teams tend to build faster cars. Shitty drivers don’t win championships

[@dimitrijensk2845]

To give you an idea on how it sells, before they started winning in F1 Mercedes was basically irrelevant. The association that Mercedes has with extreme performance started when they started winning.

[@K0KUSHIBOU]

[@Gantzz321]

the CAP is meh, in the past you had a group of guys designing parts for the engines, where the company put that expence into the RACING budget, which I'm sure had a different tax than the car manufacturing division part of the company. Now the Race team just puts down, PURCHASE of that part from the company instead of the cost of designing it, lowering the CAP but not really. The same amount is being spent but how its broken down is now different.
