How Formula 1 cars affect the human body

"...Which may lead to serious injuries or death. AND ON THAT BRIGHT NOTE!"

[@k20cam47]

One of the best videos into the insight of how much physical ability these drivers have. F1 is without doubt the most difficult motorsport and sport too even though some will claim it isn’t a sport. These are the type of people that wouldn’t last 5 corners at full pace

Hey there :D I just stumbled across some of your videos... The quality is outstanding, the information density is just right, there is no fluff and no clickbait. That combination of attributes is hard to find on youtube, especially in a channel that is trying to grow....so kudos for resisting the temptation 💪 So TLDR: Thank you for your great work 🙂

Thanks for the support! 😀

1:05 - F1 cars actually brake from 200 kph to 0 in around 65 meters=around 3 secs. :) F1 cars have hydraulic power steering.

Great vid!

[@Ciaran500]

You got the braking performance wrong, it's 200kmh - 0 in 65m, not 6.5m.

[@CuriousDoc]

thanks for the correction

[@Naman.Khivsara]

Never knew about those vibrations

[@borkobartonicek3947]

Additional note to that.. Vibrations increase after every "lockup" during braking in the corner. When the wheels are locked it leaves a "flat spot" on the tyre, resulting in even more vibration until the next pit-stop.

[@CuriousDoc]

Good point about the flat spots - huge factor

[@hawks9nkh]

Great video. Do the really need 15kg of force to turn the wheel? I thought F1 cars had power steering.

[@CuriousDoc]

They do, but when turning a corner very fast, the weight of the wheel and the arms are magnified due to the lateral G-forces making it much harder to turn. Thanks for the question!

[@angushayes6088]

Awesome!

[@hawks9nkh]

When you're in freefall, you don't feel the acceleration. Best way to describe the G's is to compare it to amusement park rides.

[@CuriousDoc]

Correct once you've reached terminal velocity - but at the beginning of a freefall you will begin to accelerate at 9.8m/s^2

[@hawks9nkh]

@@CuriousDoc I know what you’re trying to say and it’s true you accelerate at that rate but you don’t feel it. The same way astronauts in the ISS are also accelerating into the earth yet they are in free fall and don’t feel any acceleration. Your analogy does not work because the acceleration cannot be felt. You’d want it analogous to something you’d feel.

@@CuriousDoc As a skydiver for over 500 jumps, there's no feeling of any G force during any part of freefall. Because it's always 1 G disregarding to the acceleration. when you pull the parachute there's G force for deceleration
