Five years late I know but that is from his F1 days when he was trained not to give up secrets. On his podcast he mentions in one episode that he once mentioned a new part development in an interview in his Caterham days and got a strike for it so at that point he was still sooo used to being tight lipped that he didn't think he could say the strategy.

Alex got 2 laps out of 0.65 gal, well 1 and 2/3s or whenever Alex ran out of fuel on final lap, that alone is one of the most remarkable aspects of this story.

Everybody complaining about this being a Oil commercial if that's how you feel, then your not appreciating the fact that this is free content for you to watch. Motor Trend does not back stab us and charge for their best content, you got to wait a month for the next installment but, that's a small price to pay considering the amount of time and resources it's takes to make one episode. Motor Trend probably makes the best free car content you can watch on KZbin.

At first I felt a little duped at the end when this all came crashing down as one big ad. I thought, "SERIOUSLY?" But then I thought about it and that's gotta be one of the best ads I've seen. At least it wasn't plastered all over and made too obvious. So although the plug felt REALLY out of place and unnatural I have to say I would like more of these. All-in-all... well done.

May have been leaving it in top gear instead of downshifting - clutch in when entering corners instead of braking later into the corner, perfect line, better acceleration out of the corner - probably a combination of all those factors and of course drafting.

Why do I not believe they use the same oil I can buy in the store. Every race car team I've seen legit interviews with used specially engineered oil for the extreme conditions of the engines. I would think this would be especially true in a car that redlines at like 15k rpms.
@banddude121
@banddude121 8 жыл бұрын
Nope. IndyCar rules state the oil you use in your engine must be purchasable from a store shelf. It is a cost cutting measure to prevent the teams doing what F1 does and changing oil every 2 minutes and generating different additives for their oils. The engines are designed with this in mind so there isn't a need for specialty oil.

Chill dude, it's a great story and amazing win, and this video is free to all because of the sponsors. What the fuck do you expect? 100% free content with no sponsors/advertising? Do you mouth off like this when a commercial comes on the TV? Do you think your uninformed comment will make them change their business model? Try not only thinking about yourself when you open your mouth to criticize others...

@4theloveofDub 8 жыл бұрын
I assure you, my mouth stays closed while I type. No i do not expect 100% FREE content. I run ad blocker but have the entire youtube site white listed so i will see ads so I do support creators. I am not angry it was sponsored, I am angry in HOW they did it. They could have done this whole video and left out the line that basically says that the only reason he won is because of Castrol. Then put in a screen at the beginning or at the end that says this story was brought to you by Castrol "providing racing winning performance" or some tag line. hell they could have run that screen at the start and end and they could have had a water mark on the video in the corner that said brought to you by Castrol.... I would have been fine with any and or ALL of my suggestions. What grinds my gears and gave me the cringe feeling is that they had this cool story and cool video that they could have provided to the fans and people like me would have said WOW how cool of Castrol to bring us this story... but no they chose to basically say "This team won the indy 500 because they used our oil" It just gets under my skin.

The tire company isnt claiming their victory saying their low roll resistance allowed him to coast to the finish. Honda didnt come out with a video claiming their victory because their engine got the great gas mileage. You dont see the Aero engineer claiming the victory because the aero of the car reduced air resistance... again the point im making is that I love the story, It was a great win. But it gets under my skin that in this video Castrol basically is trying to claim their win, rather than just sponsor a great video and put traditional ads before and/or after the video.

OK, yes, I admit it was totally cheesy at the end when they all plugged Castrol, and like you said, basically talked like the oil is what made them win the race. As a race fan I know that's bullshit and they are just saying that to plug their sponsor... That's okay with me - it's certainly nothing to get angry about. Maybe Castrol will give them more money for R&D because of this which in turn could help them win more races... It's bs politics but that's the way she goes...

Everyone is commenting about his "secret", the truth is that F1 and IRC cars both have fuel mapping options and many other controls integrated into the computers (all within the rules - including how fast the throttle response it)... it might just be something that he found works good with his driving style to make the extra MPG and doesn't want to let it out - he doesn't come to your job and tell you how to mop the floors or kick the bucket on you, let's not knock his talent as a professional either.
