How F1 Wheels Stay Attached In Crashes

[@AwesomeShamik]

You should do a video on Skid blocks that are fitted under the F1 cars. Would be nice to know when the FIA gives the boards to the manufactures before the race.. Are they changed every race .. Are the teams allowed to manage the air that goes around the Skid blocks .. Whats the weight of the boards .. Is there a special wood that is selected. They have been around since the Low lying Lotus F1 cars .. So would be nice to know something about them. Thanks ! Great video.. Love the job you guys are doing !

[@AwesomeShamik]

Oh yes .. my bad. You are right they are called as Skid block. Rectifying my comment. Thank you for the correction !

[@johnenright]

was the wooden skid block not replaced with titanium (or some other metal) a few seasons back? and its the reason we see so many sparks now?

[@Spyker8921]

@@johnenright Yes.

Buemi: I'm gonna do what's called a pro driver move.

The pyrotechnic valve would make me nervous as a driver or team principal. Imagine if that thing fails and goes off mid race, or while pitting.

[@gavinkemp7920]

well if well designed when pitting it shouldn't be to dangerous unless it goes off after the wheel is changed. they'd only use a small explosive. but yeah the wheel suddenly deflating at the wrong moment would be catastrophic. it down to how reliable they can make them. if it is almost impossible for these to go wrong its a good solution.

[@williamf9633]

they could have a different valve cap as an idea you could put a tiny electric solenoid into a valve cap to depress the valve to release pressure and a g sensor on the car to activate it on impact

The mic levels on Craig Scarborough are messed up. Is it just me?

[@mdraihans6446]

Grosjean's vf-18 is the thumbnail...

[@Allan_Melon]

intresting, its true I never see these

[@notnitinchopra]

In France when Force India's wheel came off, why didn't these work then?

[@LuukLucky]

I believe the wheel nut failed, and then the whole wheel comes of like when they change wheels in the pits.

[@adityavikrambajaj2407]

The wheel didn't come out, the tyre did. These hold the rim not the rubber on it

[@alexcov05]

It was the tyre. Also happened to Hulkemberg in Spain.

[@alexderus7480]

The tethers hold the spindle to the car. The wheel/tire assembly is held to the spindle by the wheel nut. If the wheel nut comes off, the wheel/tire assembly is no longer tethered.

[@jgonzalesm6]

Unsafe release. Torque gun pressure system failed on that side thereby not putting torque into the wheelnut that holds the rim and tire in place. Once the rim and tire are torqued into the hub(where the tethers are attached from the hub to the chassis), then the tethers do their job. Look at Hartleys crash not long ago (2018) where the upper arm failed under braking which the tethers worked beautifully in that scenario.

Verstappen alone probably could cause a worldwide shortage in zylon

[@Rhythmattica]

Now i shall refer to him as "Ver-Strap-on".

Man this joke ain't getting any younger

[@joelackers5104]

There was a complete outage when Maldonado and Grosjean raced together

[@hach92]

Yes at the beginning of this season...But now now look ate the last 4 races, riccardo isn't going anywhere...

[@michaellinner7772]

I was thinking that the reason Max always seemed to run into Seb specifically was because Max is a Red Bull and Seb was in a bright red car just like the matador's cape. He can't help it. Now that Seb's at Aston-Martin it's no longer an issue. So Max should be fine now right? Oh wait, just watched the 2021 British GP. He's not over running into other drivers yet I see.

[@ezras4216]

Looks great!! So...maybe the Halo is not needed...?!

[@adamdoherty2953]

Mad ting

[@FunnyBus3rd]

Uv sensitive? Then shouldn't it be white to reflect the light off¿

[@CarlosGarcia-ze6rt]

funnybus3rd if the black tape absorbs all the UV light, there's no UV light left that can affect what's inside the black tape

[@Joshsartvideos]

"I know what would make these wheels safer: explosives"

[@mancheetah5610]

One genuinely needed safety feature. Not like the halo

[@morgankerrmilliken1411]

James Tarver Yet the halo can and already has saved a life.

[@CODMASTA]

what a miracle, nobody even second thought the open cockpit nature of F1, but as soon as the halo was introduced, everyone starts claiming that it has "saved a life" why did nobody die in the past recent years then? why are lives starting to get saved only when the halo was introduced? i smell intense BS

[@morgankerrmilliken1411]

CODMASTA “Nobody has died in the past recent years”. Jules bianchi.

[@CODMASTA]

a halo would have never saved him. going that fast and being crushed under a truck like that. It was simply a hopeless case. Im not chatting shit, read actual documentations regarding the incident.

[@morgankerrmilliken1411]

CODMASTA Yes it has been discussed that he could not have been saved by the halo. But you said nobody has died in recent years and that’s not true. I’m saying that the halo is a safety measure that will help the drivers. Cars today are going the fastest they have ever been so having added protection around the head area helps. You barely even notice it watching it on track. People just complain for the sake of complaining.

[@adamdoherty2953]

Hahahahaha

[@weth56]

They have been tied on for a couple years now. If you don’t know this then you don’t need to be watching F1. Literally the whole reason for the argument about the halo
