That's why the manufactures, as much as the love their driver winning the championship or placing high in the standings, the race teams get money for how well they place in the constructors championship to all build a faster car then rinse and repeat the above.

Great, thanks! If that hasn't already been mentioned, it's a "pitot" tube to measure airspeed at the front, not a "pilot" tube (from the name of the engineer who invented it).

[@animagraffs]

@@shakeydavesr I only use simulations when it's absolutely unavoidable. Crack open the physics sim in blender and you're gonna be there for weeks tweaking things. It just takes so long. I 'fake' everything in the absolute simplest but most believable way possible, whenever I can. Air, water, electricity -- for these things I use techniques like old video games. Simple shapes where the texture/material is what's doing all the work. I've studied "procedural nodes" a lot, where you can use blender's built-in textures like "noise" or "voronoi", and mix them together to make clouds or smoke etc. For the air around the body I studied aerodynamics sims online, and then built actual shapes to mimic those photos. The materials and transparency make it look convincing, but they're just many flat simple shapes to get the contours I need.

WOW. this is so cool. Well done!!!! I didn't even think of the music till ya mentioned it, I was too hooked on the info/animation. LOL.

OUTSTANDING WORK!!!! It's really, REALLY GOOD, and I am picky!!! Your own self corrections are nothing as you are mainly a one man show, minor things happen but are completely obfuscated by the incredible solid work you produced! F1 should buy this from you and permanently have it on their site explaining what a F1 is! Congratulations Jacob!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Good point about F1 buying it off them - I doubt they could do a better job

That was such a great piece of content! I really wanted to understand how Formula one cars worked, and the content I found was way too complicated for novice like me. Here, everything is crystal clear. Very well done 👏

What an excellent piece of art! I can only imagine how daunting the research was as most systems have general principles published but the finer intricacies are closely guarded secrets and vary from team to team.

Gave me a new appreciation of these amazing cars. Fantastic graphics, fantastic information, great narration and music too. I’ll be watching this a few times to remind myself how it all works. Thank you!

Really, really good work! I'm an F1 fanatic, and yet I learned things I didn't know about the car through this wonderfully produced video. Thank you!
