This actually helped me understand how I can setup my car on ACC. This doesn't just apply to F1. Thanks Dude, Really helpful, I'll put you in the credits of my non-existent esports success.

Having been subscribed to your channel for over a year now, I've come to expect this quality in your videos. Yet it's worth reiterating how damn good you are at tackling complex concepts that no one else dare touches, managing to break them down and build them back up from simple fundamentals, and all of this while always finding the right balance between not losing your audience to unnecessary complex waffle while also not dumbing down the content quality. Your work is greatly appreciated, Stuart!

[@falinestixiaolong9691]

You're damn right. I had just watched before that a video on the official F1 channel about the exact same topic. The guy explaining may have been an expert but his diagrams were not clear, and throwing words like "anti-roll bars" without explaining what it is don't help, so in the end I didn't understand anything.

[@mohamedsalahdimessi1721]

I can hear u explaning f1 concepts for hours, cheers.

[@DaylightDigital]

Love everything about this except for "shifting center of mass." Dynamic load transfer due to acceleration, braking, or cornering is not caused by the CG moving around.

[@jozsefmolnar6453]

Yes, absolutely. You can have extremely big weight transfer without almost any chassis roll or CoG movement.

[@DaylightDigital]

@@jozsefmolnar6453 I stopped using the term weight transfer years ago precisely because it's misleading. Load transfer is more accurate and less ambiguous.

I didn't understand 90% of this video as i wasn't paying full attention, yet it was still so entertaining. Definitely will be rewatching later on to see what I missed :p

[@001thefish]

This is incredible. It feels like you can watch the sport for decades and never learn anything about how the suspension works. These last two videos have taught me so much about things I'd heard about but never really understood, and it only took 20 minutes.

[@swanner95]

I love this channel's contrast between in-depth understanding of the fundamentals of an F1 car, postulations about race and championship rules and arrangements, insights into the teams and their objectives and challenges and of course, tactfully placed aubergines during the season reviews.

[@oscarshen6855]

Under current regulation the fat tires do most of the work that should have gone to spring and damper. In 2022 they will use slimmer tires thats more raletive to road cars, they can't absorb as much energy as current tires, which means the suspention needs a full redesign.

[@Timberwolf69]

A redesign? Not really. Some adaptation, yes.

[@itstimeforham]

This has blown my mind. I didn’t really understand suspension until watching these two videos. Huge kudos to you, and thanks.

[@draconicdusk5911]

Mind blown, so much useful information. Liberty media really should hire you to make explanation videos like this on F1 weekends.

[@JimTheFly]

I've been a racing fan for years but this is the first time I really fell like I can start to understand all the various suspension-related terminology. I'm not sure I can properly use it in my racing games YET, but I feel like I'd be a lot less random in my setups at least.

[@yodaslovetoy]

Remember folks, always watch the newest video first, then go back to see what the feck you missed

[@markmcnaughton85]

Here you are explaining things in a way that is only going to further invest me in race weekend discussions. You always seem to strike the right amount of technical knowledge for me personally and I applaud you for that.

[@vineethprabhu8560]

I was longing for an explanation of what the different setup parameters in a F1 car mean while playing the game in my pc!! And here I am!!

[@MikeeCZ]

4:00 Forgot to mention side wall flex, so not as squarely as possible, the tyre should still have negative camber even after taking the roll into account to counter the tyre deformation due to all the lateral forces. The faster the corners & the more the downforce, the larger the camber. Also good to mention that rear tyres tend to have lot less or no camber at all. This is the trade off between cornering grip and acceleration grip as the rears are the powered wheels in case of F1. (FWD cars tend to have very aggressive rear camber as the rears main job is just to corner)

[@IriquoyPlisken]

I now understand some of the numbers on my F1 20 setup. Cheers! 👍

Can you do a video like: "Was DAS any good?". Would be interesting!

[@B3AN5]

If Mercedes used it in 2019 and 2018 it would have made winning the championship a lot easier as it allowed them to go fast in the corners and on straights without compromising set up, but because they were ridiculously dominant this year they didn't need to do it

[@tensevo]

Nice animation and graphics, all I would add, is that static camber is used to ensure some camber remains at full cornering load to benefit from "camber thrust".

[@el-danihasbiarta1200]

a better driver..is better than tons of setup i learned a lot of setup and master it but still cannot control the car

[@ronanoboyle6348]

Load a few time trial setups for a few different tracks and you’ll notice a trend for most tracks. Lower front aero higher rear wing. Softer front springs and front sway bars. Stiffer rear suspensions and rear sway bars. Usually about 1-3 front and 7-10 rear( for suspension and anti roll bars). Ride height 2-3 or 2-4 Suspension geometry usually either right left left left or right right left left. Tyre pressures as low as possible. Basically just get a baseline set up from time trial and tune it to your liking

[@samnotloading6101]

In 2020 downforce is really good for time, highly recommend more downforce than previous years

"to maximize how much tread meets the tarmac to prevent wear, degradation and temperature issues" YES! Finally someone who understands that more area doesn't increase friction.

[@a88senna]

Quality video

[@288gto7]

3:20. those arent packers. They are just bumpstops. Packers or „spacers“ are small cylindrical things that slide under the bumpstops so that the car will hit the bumpstops sooner. If you want a detailed explanation watch aris drives and fatcad motorsports videos on bumpstops

[@Timberwolf69]

I've seen packers in NASCAR, but those usually are wedged into the springs at a certain point to change the stiffness of that spring.

[@allenqueen]

Oh Chain Bear of the youtube, how are you so in tune with the ways of Formula one? (did you use to work with any racing team)

[@Jon1998109]

Centre of mass doesn't change under braking. The braking force causes a torque which is then balanced result in an uneven load of the car

[@Metis1337]

I'm once again asking you to publish your 2021 F1 predictions

[@QemeH]

I'm just waiting for the next big step in suspension evolution: _Predictive_ Suspension Under the current rules they would be illegal, because changing setup during a lap is heavily regulated, but computer power should theoretically be there to not only load a profile, but rather gain live data from the car, which is then cross-referrenced with the position on track and gives an optimal suspension setup for the given situation.

[@mplsmike4023]

How about a part 3 on suspension tricks of the past, e.g. Active Suspension, the Renault tuned mass dampers, etc.?

[@marcdoyon8840]

Could you please start to do some videos about MotoGP with the F1 videos because I'm a fan of both and I love watching your videos and I can't find a channel that does good videos about MotoGP and F1

[@nikoyochum6974]

quick note, I don't believe that the center of mass changes under acceleration, there is just a load transfer, the center of mass is a constant point.
