After Senna’s death, Michael Schumacher requested for the cars to have a stronger chassis and body to help protect the driver. And after the death of Jules bianchi (sorry if I spelt it wrong) there i death started to float around about more head safety, I’m pretty sure the HANS was already in use then, so from that, became the halo.

No Jules would've died with the Halo as well there is no possible protection for such an accident, but what they introduced is the VSC (virtual safety car) where you have to maintain a certain speed, that would've probably saved his life.

Welp, I’m not as up to date as i thought

Gameplaylike, yup and recovery vehicles aren’t allowed on track during yellow or double yellow anymore.Without a VSC or a safety car no recovery equipment and personal is allowed on track and in run off areas.

Grateful for the great video! I've been following the sport for decades and yet, I found things I didn't know. Of course, more videos will be needed. In the next opportunity, I suggest some space for our double champion Emerson Fittipaldi. The nickname he earned at Interlagos, "Rato" (rat), is self-explanatory when you see a photo of the guy. He was one of the few pilots who knew a lot about mechanics, like Fangio. This made it easier for him to bond with the team and also allowed him a very efficient strategy. In some way, Emerson caused opponents to force their engines beyond the technical limit. They broke and Emerson won. I did not know of another pilot capable of this, in a systematic way.

The v10 and v12 era of formula one was the most beautiful. The sounds were spectacular, the drivers were even more so. During the Schumacher reign, drivers like Juan Pablo Montoya, Ralph Schumacher, Jenson button, Kimi Raikkonen, Fernando Alonso, rubens barrichello and a couple more would all fight for victory. The v8 era of 2006-2013 would also be an amazing era of ear piercing noises and Finnish national anthems. The 2009 and 2012 seasons were particularly spectacular with brawn Gp and their championship campaign and Ferrari, mclaren, redbull, lotus and Mercedes AMG battling in 2012.. f1 is a great series and I wish it took a trip back to its roots for the 2021 rule change

Max Power Not even close. The KERS system uses on single battery within the car to regenerate and deploy energy. In the current hybrid system, there are separate systems that recover and deploy the energy, that being the MGU-H and the MGU-K respectively. The MGU-K also recovers energy, just at a smaller scale.

Maldonado driving an inferior car was in many cases able to outrun LH in that uber-Mercedes. So, he has talent and skill. But he's also very flammable, easily loses nerves, so he's not consistent from lap to lap. But, we need Maldonado back to F1.

@@samuelcibulka7217 Some drivers have crossed over. Sebastien Loeb moved from rally to DTM fairly easily. His first time in an F1 car was pretty good. He would have gotten a drive with Torro Rosso had he not been denied a superlicense. Yes, its a different discipline like for example rally drivers don't have to worry about overtaking someone. But at the same time, F1 drivers don't have to fix their car when they have an issue on track. But some things do carry over. One of the reasons why Sebastien Loeb is unbeatable is because of his driving style. Loeb's style is almost like a racer's. Very clean, very precise and very minimal drifting. He takes the same lines in a corner as a racer would. Other F1 drivers have tried rally. Kimi Raikonnen was one which wasn't successful. Alonso has tried his hand at rally. He got a podium at the Ula-Neom Rally which is a smaller rally in preparation for Dakar and finished 13th overall at Dakar Rally but the most successful F1 driver to make the leap to rally is Robert Kubica who was the 2013 WRC2 champion.

[@LuizOliveira-bq7wl]

Hugo Madoz YES!!!!!!!!!

[@HiBoa]

His doco senna covers all of his f1 career from the debut to just after his death

[@EAGYSL]

@@HiBoa The documentary isn't really one it's biased as hell if you watch it pretend its a Hollywood movie because it lets facts out or simply turn them around to glorify Ayrton.

[@nathantyson5265]

Just to say, I just got dirt 5 off game pass and started playing and I was like OMG ITS JAMES AND FREAKIN NOLAN NARRATING THE WHOLE GAME I AM IN LOVE

[@maartenmulders5653]

"cars with more fins than a lionfish." That was poetic.

[@The_Curious_Cat]

8:53 actually the plank is now made of Titanium, so it sparks when the touches the ground. And I love you too James.

[@spom3445]

it sparked before... it only sparked because of friction when it ran on the ground.

[@The_Curious_Cat]

@@spom3445 Before they introduced the titanium plank? Not really, since it was made of wood. What sparked were other areas of the car, but way less then now. If you mean in the past (like the 70´s), that´s because they were made of titanium. But they introduced the wood ones to avoid the teams of running the car too low and risk accidents because of the car losing traction on bumps.

[@internetsguy3506]

Thanks for being a pioneer in Sweet Sweet Jesusland and pronouncing Jaguar properly! You are a champion!

[@woofykittyhayday]

Thank you for this episode

[@Wagon_Attack]

Aryton Senna is #1

[@ItsMikeArre]

Only thing you need to know is it’s not what it use to be Also I can’t believe you left out the fact that BMW built the fastest f1 engine ever nicknamed Megatron with well over 1500hp

[@drunkpolack7612]

Mike Arredondo yeah f1 is pretty gay now

[@nick_lax]

Relax man he only said he couldn't fit everything in one video, just wait for a part 2 of it cause it probably will happen

[@HandFedMole]

Oh hey I didn't know there were still people out in the world stupid enough to use "gay" like that.

[@ignasv1316]

it's not what it used to be... Just like group B FFS BRING BACK GROUP B

[@seriousgoat76]

it can push 1500hp with mw50.

[@alexkagan184]

I’m just starting to get into f1 so this is a nice video. Thanks mate

[@DouglasMeloche]

this man's passion is needed to do a video on everything

"Pot sucked in the 70s" Yea they were basically smoking grass

[@mikekelly7862]

Did it suck in the 70's or have we just gotten way too good at it now?

[@StrictBearAtarian]

excellent video. another video idea, the winning F1 car from every season

[@sebaile]

It’s crazy how in Argentina, a country that runs on football and then rugby, and then basketball, and then cars; Fangio is one of the biggest sport legends remembered to this day, even after more than 60 years. Guy’s literally a national pride, and pretty deserved.

[@darkox4172]

Oh stroll knows how to handle the F1 car now, he has actually not had bad results this season

[@Cipa7]

Nothing about Jules Bianchi? And nothing about how the current cars also get close to 1000HP?

[@SmellyAlways]

Mercedes kinda announced there f1 engine is making over a thousand last year when they announced the project one, saying the car "total output from the hybrid set-up exceeds 1,000bhp"

[@Cipa7]

Hallison Michel They are just calling it '''Party Mode'' now because its fun going fast, they have the best quali mode since 2014 no doubt about that. Every power unit has a quali mode no matter what anyone says, but not every power unit can be as linear and as powerful as Mercedes can without destroying the unit. I don't agree with Ferrari being half a second behind. Seb didn't have a great lap, and in the race they should be similar but we will never know because its hard to pass and if you want to overtake you basically have to go into quali mode and hurt the power unit and you only have 3 power units for the full season, so expect many races to be done midway. In other words P1 T1 wins the race most of the time if there are no yellow flags. And this video does not get anything wrong it's just missing a lot of things, like rule change in 2009, Red Bull domination etc. Which is ok because it is Up to Speed but i feel like 2-3 more facts would make the video a lot better. Perhaps they should have done the last 10 years a bit more detailed so you are actually Up to Speed.

[@andreamoroni97]

He also spoke as if Lancia started Ferrari in F1 (while Gianni Lancia and Vittorio Jano gave just the D50 that was modified and it was renamed 801), while it was Alfa Romeo that gave the cars (with the mighty P3 in the list) to Scuderia Ferrari from 1929 to 1947. So for someone that doesn't know Formula 1 and its history (since when it started as Formula Grand Prix in 1906) can understand and learn a wrong thing.

[@diazzsama]

I read somewhere honda's engine for mclaren (2017) reached 750kw (about 1000hp) and it was at last year's preseason testing. Assuming the rest had more and they have been in development for a year for this season, all current engines have a bit more than just 1000hp

[@andreamoroni97]

diazzsama If 950 HP is more or less Renault's figures how can be Honda around 1000 like Mercedes and Ferrari? Honda is underpowered so it had more like just more than 900 HP. Obviously these figure are in no way accurate as being current F1 cars racing.

[@lucariothehero5009]

I'm a huge NASCAR fan here and I gotta say, not only I love NASCAR, but therefore I'm impressed with how the F1 concepts work! Both a NASCAR and an F1 guy here!

We need an up to speed on Ayrton Senna, as a Brazilian it's unbelievable the impact he made on the sport

[@PapotsGarage]

The planks are no more wood Madden but titanium mad, that explain the sparks we see now. Then engines are rated at about 1000hp for Mercedes. ;)

[@DelSolTypeR1987]

zcsb1 you are wrong. They are still wood but have titanium strips on them.

[@Rentta]

You are both wrong. They are wooden composite these days. Not just a plank of wood. And yes it has titanium skid plates on it.

[@PapotsGarage]

DelSolTypeR1987 still, the titanium plate wear is controlled now.

[@anantgarg7664]

As far as I know, sparks are due to the titanium bolts that are used to attach the wooden plank. Please correct me if I am wrong :)

[@Da5idc]

Awesome video 😊👍👍😊
