Sometimes I can't believe the split turbo setup wasn't. Because we will be entering the split turbo era (I think). Red bull has already made the jump somehow amidst the loss of an engine manufacturer. Both red bull and Mercedes are running other methods to make the air denser as well, giving each a boost in power beyond other teams' limits. I would be willing to bet we begin to see more as well seeing as it hasn't been banned. I also find it Quite genius, pulling out more HP where none previously existed.

I'm still mad about the banning of the dual-pedal braking. So simple and ingenious and demands skill of the driver to use properly.

[@rattusnorvegicus4380]

They now use the handbrake to get around the hairpin....oh hang on, that`s rallying. I`ve driven track-laying vehicles, they work on independent braking.

[@kamleshsisodiya]

Yeah but the introduction of Brake-bias means neither the FIA will unban it, nor will the teams accept it. I know it is entertaining to watch, but a little bit outdated compared to present day technology.

[@illegitimate0]

@@kamleshsisodiya It wouldn't be outdated. Just because the driver can set the brake bias perfectly for a turn in advance doesn't mean they execute the turn perfectly. Many times they'd want to use the dual pedal brake to shift the weight of the car to make up for a mistake, or to slowly increase the proportion of brakes to the front as speed decreases, etc.

The F1 Cara of today minimise driver input almost to the point of being a passenger. The electronic aids are astonishing, but take all the fun out of spectating. The F1 of the 1990s was the most exciting racing I've ever seen in F1, when drivers had NOTHING except a steering wheel, a racing harness, a gearstick and three pedals. Drivers DROVE in the 90s!

"should the throttle stick open" tells you exactly about the safety of those cars.

[@martinfisker7438]

Motorcycles have kill switches aswell. And I have actually tried having the throttle stuck open by something as simple as the cable snapping and getting jammed in the cable jacket

[@jamesshives5679]

I'm pretty sure all race cars have kill switches these days, it doesn't necessarily mean the cars are unsafe, but stuff happens.

[@TenorCantusFirmus]

Mika Häkkinen once drove a 1930s Mercedes Grand Prix racing car; he then asked a veteran who drove it in that period (I don't remember the name, we are talking about Rosemeyer, Caracciola and their contemporaries) if they were allowed the last shot and cigarette before driving them. He was answered the last shot maybe, the last cig' no, unless you were at least 20 mts. away from the starting grid because anywhere closer, and everything would have exploded...

[@emilchandran546]

growlingbehemoth pretty much every system which could conceivably get out of hand will have a kill switch. Plumbing, electrical, production lines, computers programmes. You name if you can lose control of it, there will be a kill switch. Is a home unsafe because it has circuit breakers? Is it unsafe if it can be disconnected from the water mains? No. It just means if an appliance shorts, or a pipe is broken, there is a way to stop it before a catastrophe. Similarly, these cars are very complex and have multiple failsafes. You can always pull the clutch and brake, but what if you’ve lost your clutch. That’s alright you can just shift put it in neutral, nope, something is very wrong. Well nothing beats a kill switch. Incorruptible, easy to engineer to be robust and reliable. Simple, effective, safety. Having a kill switch is not an indication that something is unsafe or dangerous. It would be much more concerning if it didn’t have one.

[@Michael_Lorenson]

The big problem is thinking to use the kill-switch in time to save yourself! A stuck throttle is a shocking, unexpected thing most of the time. And, just one second can be an ETERNITY, in an emergency situation.

I was watching the F1 back catalog from 1981 recently, and Murray Walker was almost gleeful in pointing out how at the end of a race, the Renaults sat quite noticeably higher than during the race, and Renault had apparently told him about the lever in the cockpit that did this, and the fact that it helped them get around the regulations. It was an obvious cheat, and they were also obviously proud of it, and not at all trying to hide it.

[@willbeasy2898]

The reason for a the Ferrari 640’s reliability issues was down to the fundamental design of the engine. The engineers decided to use five main bearings for the crank, rather than six. This left the v12 with an incurable harmonic vibration that would shake the drive belt off the alternator, and hence losing power to the electrics, and therefore the electronic gearbox wouldn’t select gears!

[@GMMephisto]

Engineering is so complicated that even "music" has influence on the cars.

[@ma61king]

Wonder why they didn't run the alternator off the gearbox? I've seen quite a few circuit racers run driveshaft driven alternators

[@willbeasy2898]

@@ma61king could be because when they’re driven off the gearbox the alternator doesn’t run when the car is stationary. Also packaging, weight distribution and aerodynamics would be a consideration. John Barnard designed the 640 so that the air passing through the radiator would exit at the rear past the gearbox, because exiting the air sooner disrupts the air flow to the rear wing.

And Nico Rosbeg said, err, he pressed during the race, I don't remember what race, the wrong button on the wheel. Question for you to both. Is formula 1 driving today too complicated with 20 and more buttons on the wheel, are you too much under effort, under pressure?

[@josedacunhafilho]

Very interesting. Also it is important to note that as of the past years, the steering complex is customized for each driver within a team, and every aspect may be different for each of the two drivers, beginning with the shape and structure of the "wheel" itself, formed exactly for a driver's hands, and arms, and the layout of buttons and switches may vary significantly from driver to driver.

Wow thats amazing, I had no Idea f1 has come such a long way, I had never even seen the ones with halos on them lol, very interesting, thanks for sharing!😎👍🏻

Wow you are pretty new. Just to get you more into it, I would recommend watching some older races as they are quite a lot more interesting than nowadays. Try the 2010 season, the cars were beautiful and at the final race, 4 drivers could have won the championship :)

The bit about safety coming in at the end of the sixties. As far as I can tell there were 25 deaths in Motorsport in the 1960s? And it was only after we lost Jim Clark that they decided to do anything. Took another 25 years to really sort it out.
