FULL DETAIL Formula 1 McLaren MP4-19B Race Car

Today I travel up to McLaren Boston to preserve a McLaren MP4-19B Formula 1 race car driven by David Coulthard. The paint is not very thick to conserve weight...which makes it a special challenge to compound and polish without burning thru the livery. Later in the episode we interview Colin Ashlaw to understand its place in Formula 1 history as well as how it relates to road going or "street legal" super cars of today. Hope you enjoy a full detail on the only Mercedes McLaren MP4-19B in the United States. Thx for watching! -Larry

[@ryanhoffmann9341]

Not trying to pedantic but your F1 "Historian" saying this was the first time F1 cars were producing over 900 hp is badly mistaken. The turbo engined cars of the 80's were producing well over 1,000 hp in qualifying trim and over 900 in race trim. The BMW in line 4 of that era famously produced almost 1,500 hp. No doubt that the V10's in these cars were possibly the best F1 engines ever, but you shouldn't make definitive statements like that especially when they are wrong.

[@andreamoroni97]

Also Toro Rosso used a V10 in 2006 aswell in the STR01.

[@MassageWithKlay]

I think that the historian was talking about N/A motors, also was probably born in the 80's

[@dons1932]

You speak of being pedantic, yet you didn't even listen to what he said. He said 'handily' having 900hp. Those engines back in the day were ticking time bombs, where an engine and other drive train components were consumable not only from round to round, but from session to session. The engine in the video and its era were genuine, no BS, signed sealed and delivered 900hp machines, that could comfortably and reliably make that day in, day out. Engine failures were almost non existent.

[@XBullitt16X]

Glad I'm not the only one who caught that, F1 cars have been producing far more than 900hp for decades now.

[@ryanhoffmann9341]

@@dons1932 I'd ask you to back up this claim. Yes in QUALIFYING trim these engines were only good for a few laps, but that wasn't bacause they were badly built or designed, it was because that was the best interpretation of the rules at the time. It wasn't like it is now where teams get a set number of engines and after that your done, or start getting huge grid penalties. I can guarantee if teams were allowed to use as many engines as possible you would see the same thing today. Also, I'm pretty sure Honda has had a mass of engine failures over the past few years, many more than almost any other time in history. If these engines blew up all the time during the race the entire grid would not have been running them for three years.

I'm too lazy to go back and check.. but im 99.9a% sure thats not what he said or meant otherwise it woulda triggered me as well. Basically saying that road cars have zero limits with aero work so they can do some wild things. Like the movable canards and wing on a Senna. That wouldnt be allowed on an F1 car. Ofcourse F1 cars have better aero in a race application, also helps tremendously that they weigh next to nothing and the mechanical grip is insane due to insane suspension and so forth.

The worse thing in Aerodynamics isn't drag...its turbulence. Drag is unavoidable.

[@ryanhilden1443]

Turbulence makes it harder to pass you due to the loss of downforce in dirty air so it is actually beneficial in a racing situation

[@Themayseffect]

@@ryanhilden1443 What's beneficial for one person, is bad for the next. So like i said, Turbulence is still the worst thing. Drag happens regardless.

[@wadud92]

Yes, but actually no. Side skirts and floors create a lot of downforce, with next to no drag. Sure skirts are banned and floors are very heavily restricted. But engineers have figured ways around drag/downforce balance before and will do so again. The last time they figured it out was only in 09 with the double diffuser

@@wadud92 Wrong. It creates vacuum which is negative pressure. That negative pressure is stored somewhere...and that somewhere is on the underside of the car. If the pressure is released (or stabilized), a huge amount of force is lost and you get a massive loss in grip. This is considerably more dangerous than drag and turbulence in the worst cases. This is exactly why high vacuum skirts were banned early on.

[@Themayseffect]

Also there is still a lot of pressure and force transferred to the chassis with high vacuum. If the chassis isn't designed correctly, you can have a negative balance on the suspension and power unit. Causing poor ride quality and gearbox problems. Again...something already tried and tested decades ago. However it is possible with recent changes to start implementing these attributes without all the massive problems. Or at least considerably reduced.

[@adamperkins3125]

Amazing video well done. The underbody of that McLaren road car is the flattest if ever seen, crazy!

[@MrSunshine251]

I could listen to Colin talk all day. Very calm and collected in his information.

[@sebastianxavier1691]

Just a friendly tips it’s pronounced David Coothard and Airton Senna

[@AMMO-NYC]

I understand. I pronounced it the way I was instructed by the team.

[@luisfelipe6368]

They should fire that big engine and make it roar one last time.

[@luisfelipe6368]

@Launchpad Sounds Makes sense. They wouldn't want the buyer to find out their secrets. I think you're right.

[@chanchaniceman]

Unfortunately Mercedes probably might have taken engines and gearboxes back given they were suppliers and technical partners at the time..

[@benjaminlee1089]

Best Video you have ever made by far. It teaches you like some of your others about things but is also very fun and uncommon

[@LifeOfAnAutoTech]

You're dedication to perfection is unreal. Love the videos.

[@rumelahmed4539]

MP4-20 was the last V10 from Mclaren. Come on dude. Get your facts right.

[@FrontSideBus]

And the V10's first raced in 1989 too lol.

[@ProfessorShroom]

And he said Senna and Coulthard names wrong lol

[@wstupid]

ProfessorShroom I thought I was the only one who noticed, I cringed hard when he did that, put some respect on their names!!!

[@dons1932]

Thank CHRIST it still has the tobacco sponsoring on it. Removing it from the classic McLarens is one of the biggest fails in automotive history.

[@chanchaniceman]

I honestly miss those liveries

[@NathanGibb]

Incredible, absolutely loved this video! Well done guys!

[@x808drifter]

Point of clarification. The 71 page Rule book is the "Sporting Regulation" Book. Covers things like pit lane speed, swerving on track, enerting pit lane safely, ect. The "Technical Regulation" book (which covers what can be done to the cars areo, engine, wheel, ect wise) Is 110 pages long.

[@michaelbonade4667]

Colin’s input made this video that much more fantastic and engaging...

[@racingfan3212]

Amazing, what a great moment ! I love F1 and your videos of course, great combo today :P

[@TheBreakfastClb]

This was awesome. This could have been 3 hours and I wish it would have been longer. Thanks for bringing us along Larry.

[@StefsEngineering]

it is weird how quick you get used to certain aspects of a car, in this case the absence of the "halo" makes it look naked in a way.... I am happy for you Larry, it is an awesome opportunity and the result is gorgeous!

[@TastierBackInThe80s]

Thanks for sharing. These cars are how I remember F1 by. Awesome piece of engineering.

[@pjneethling26]

Its interesting to see that Mclaren's wing design was so different from some of the other F1 cars of 2004 such as the Ferrari F2004. Only noticed it till now. Great job by the way.

[@Justins00ss]

Awesome video Larry! Fellow detailer here. I own and operate Final Inspection auto detailing in Rochester Ma. I actually started detailing back in 2002 for Danny Desantis when he owned Desantis Chevy. He is a good dude and has had some cool toys. The cars and coffee show at McLaren Boston in Norwell is always a good time. As always awesome work and hope you come back to the area!!

[@Bilrich17]

Justins00ss small world. I grew up in Taunton and have been following you since I got into hobbyist detailing a few years ago. I work for Danny now and am the goofy freckled kid at the beginning of the video. You should come by the next cars and coffee on the 27th

[@Justins00ss]

@@Bilrich17 that's cool! Appreciate you following my business and passion! I'll definitely try to swing by and introduce myself.

[@zolivarga9873]

Car turned out to be phenomenal and great job as always guys. Two things I've noticed. The Johnnie Walker decals on the top are added afterwards to the car. None of the MP4-19 & MP4-19B models in the 2004 season had Johnnie Walker on the car. They appeared first in 2005 in the Hungarian Grand Prix after signing a deal with each other in 2005 with 2 variants in the remaining races (fully horizontal design and like in this car). Second at 13:38 the engine sounded like a Williams BMW instead of a Merc, probably the FW23 or FW24. :P

[@admiral7922]

You’re a master at your trade. Well done and very informative clip. Thank you 🙏

[@pristinedetail5378]

Great job Larry! Proper detailing at its best. While watching I wondered if you were going to mention the LeMans Mclaren you worked on the other year.

[@AronBell1]

Larry you never fail to amaze me!

[@WoocashCars]

Larry, an amazing video as always. I've got a note to make, or rather would like to ask you to do something. I've noticed you've been guiding the Senna in at 2:43, please never stand between a wall and parking car. 15 years ago while working at a dealership I've been spotted by the main boss doing same thing as you. Even though the car was worth more than my home he explained that no metal, plastic or carbon fiber is worth more than my legs. All assets are insured but all it takes is a shoe slipping off the pedal. From my own experience with all sort of cars (vintage up to modern super cars) I know how that type of mistakes can be made and some drivers do odd things in a panic situation. I Admire your passion and dedication, stay safe and keep up the absolutely amazing job you're doing. Woocash RetroBeasts Garage

[@MrMatthias03]

Congrats on the opportunity, Larry! You've worked hard for this!

[@guilemaigre14]

Amazing car presented in an amazingly professionnaly made video. Cheers.

[@Grenyas]

I'm not into Formula 1, but I can always appreciate a great detailing video 👍

[@ashleylongley623]

Used to work on these cars, testing doing NDT on the wishbones, toelinks and wheels always loved these cars.

[@pedroolivo9404]

good job!!! Love the details, Thanks for sharing!!

[@antol2005]

Great work Larry, thanks for sharing!

[@BIMMERZEITT]

This is amazing, nice work Larry!

[@RazorsEdg3]

The V10 F1 cars made the best soundtrack, at one point they were reving up to 18000/19000rpm just pure heaven.

[@andreamoroni97]

V10s were just loud, the V12 were and are another story.

[@MichaelRasco]

Sheesh thats amazing! Great job as usual Larry!

[@CanadianGearhead]

The perfect vid for a lunch break. So cool!
