Ironically, the smartest student in the class is also the one who is the most willing to share stuff with the public. Well done, Mercedes. You guys deserve all the glory.

[@michisob1]

I partly agree with you, they are for sure the smartest in class. But I think they wouldn’t have done this video if there wasn’t a rule change.

[@derbigpr500]

They aren't sharing anything that everyone else doesn't already do or know. Some of you people are really easily impressed, to a hilarious level. I wonder how you'd react if they actually started talking about real engineering, and not this superficial stuff meant to impress 8 year olds, he's literally only showing you buttons on a steering wheel, there's absolutely nothing even remotely special about it.

[@NippyMoto]

They really said nothing in this video, most of this can be applied to every team on the grid. The true secrets are to do with the development of the car.

[@gelmir7322]

They are the team to beat, the overpowered big bad villain that the underdog teams needed to overcome in their hero journey, the reason why races are boring according to many people. I think this is an effort by the Mercedes to build up a more fan friendly image.

[@derrick8634]

@BeyerT1 Wow, I don’t know what happens to you haters these days. Apparently, everyone knows they’re just showing and explaining the buttons on a god damn steering wheel, but do you really think that we, the normal audience, already knew about every detail of the car and the equipment of every team??? Yeah, there’s no secret technology being exposed here, but at least the majority of F1 fans get to take a closer look at what they usually can’t see clearly during live races. People’s curiosity got somewhat satisfied. Isn’t it entertaining? Isn’t it why you choose to watch races rather than take a damn nap? If people are glad to see this kind of “easy” videos being uploaded on KZbin, then why the bloody hell are other teams not trying to do such an “easy” marketing? Oh..., I forgot that they’re all busy building a midfield car. Don’t pretend like you’re the only one with a brilliant brain.

[@LHSlash]

Just a little secret, they never tell you: the driver actually receives audio feedback when clicking some buttons. For example, when changing the brake balance there is an audio sound to tell them the setting it is in. Stuff like the gear they are in they get that audio feedback from the engine sound directly, but for other stuff this is how it avoids them having to look at the steering wheel all the time. Now you know!

I swear when I was just getting into F1, I was told the bottom of the car and the steering wheel setup were the two biggest things teams try to hide from each other. Therefore this feels like Merc is saying to the other teams: "Just take our secrets! Then maybe you guys will become real competition.". . .I am just saying that this is a top class flex and is another reason why I love this team.

[@Silverhks]

In the past this was certainly true. Today the electronics are all regulated so there isn't much physical trickery going on. That doesn't completely stop programming trucks like Renault (was that last year?).

I don't they will let out too much details about those things...

Another issue is of proprietary related... And that's why every team is so secretive about it... Although, if you want to learn about How software and sensors are deployed on a modern F1 car, you can look up for a webinar hosted by Indian researcher who worked building Naval ships...

I'm fascinated that they showed the back of the steering wheel! Normally the F1 teams make a secret out of their shifting and clutch pedals.

[@TheJokerit19]

Well, they're essentially the same on all steering wheels in that all of them have two shift-paddles, and two clutch-paddles, although RP has separate paddles above the shifters for adjusting brake balance, and some other drivers on the left-hand side for operating DRS.

[@avash__6158]

well they've got nothing to lose. literally nothing to lose.
