To a relative neophyte like me, or to someone new to F1, this video is an excellent demonstration of the astounding technical complexity of F1 cars and the teams' remarkable ability to manufacture newly designed engines, engine parts, bodypanels etc. seemingly on the fly. It also illustrates the lengths teams go to gain a few tiny fractions of a second a lap, in a sport where a full second a lap and eternity are almost the same thing.

[@quintonworden6318]

The engineering that goes into getting even the slightest advantage in F1 is really incredible. When you consider just how advanced all the teams are being at the end of a long era of regulations the margins for improvement have to be so slim but teams still find clever ways to get an advantage. After the Austria doubleheader it seemed like RedBull had the clear upper hand but Merc has been out developing them since, I am also impressed with how competitive Ferrari looks after their power upgrades too even though they are not in the title fight.

The WCC holds the prize money. The only thing that the WDC brings is just a title. Its really because of how the media and all portrays the WDC that the WDC looks more important, but the WCC is where the prize money is. Hungary GP was a pretty good point in illustrating that, the teams that aren't fighting for WDC are purely fighting for WCC, Alpine's Alonso defending against Hamilton, Williams' Russell told his team to prioritize his teammate who was ahead, all of that was because they are fighting for WCC.

Supercooling is done by pressurising the fluid and chemical additives that prevent the water molecules binding. The plenum would have to be a 3D printed lattice structure to take the high pressure of up to 10bar (10x atmospheric pressure)

[@jackimo22]

@@davidtube79 you’re right, though 10bar over such a large surface area is a big task to keep contained without rupture and keeping it all lightweight still. The surface area of the tubing and hoses of a pressure washer is tiny in comparison to a plenum. Domestic pressure washers are available up to 250-300bar. Commercial pressure washers go upwards of 2500bar for large industrial application, like removing linings of process equipment.

[@pawelsobczak4015]

I don't think it is going with the fluid to the supercooled state. There is huge disadvantage of this solution that fluid can solidify just by acceleration or shake that f1 car produce on track. I would go with chemical additives to point where fluid stays fluid. Maybe my knowledge is to small in this area. Another question is if liquid is cooled under pressure is it supercooled? Whats the point of another pomp in the system that consumes energy?

[@ham-handeddesigns5252]

That was the very best explanation of the MGU-H I’ve ever seen. Thank you!

[@Flamingpangolin]

For anyone interested, you can experience a super cooled liquid at home. Take bottled water and put it in the freezer for a few hours. Take it out before it starts freezing. Hit the bottle and the water will instantly crystallise in the bottle. I've found that sparklink water works bets as you can pour it into a glass ten drop an ice cube in to watch it turn into slush. The fact that Mercedes can cool the coolant enough to achieve this is a feat. Especially that close to a very hot engine.

[@stefanmayer444]

Those Sodium Acetate hand wormers work by the same principle. The solution is supercooled too and needs a "seed" for crystallisation to occur. By bending the metal inside the wormer, small crystals are released and start the crystallisation.

[@ashclub1]

Wow!! Immensely helpful and insightful content. Two thumbs up for Driver 61. I was scratching my head after the Turkish gp, about Mercs speed.

[@pjay3028]

The thing that always surprises me is that we constantly hear about designers going to absolute extremes to keep the centre of gravity low in order to maximise mechanical grip, which is particularly important in the low speed corners, because there's minimal downforce at low speed. And since the Red Bull seems to be quick in low speed corners, you would imagine it has a particularly low centre of gravity. But given that the high rake design lifts the whole engine, gearbox, fuel tank, rear suspension etc several inches higher than a low rake car, the Red Bull centre of gravity must be massively higher than the Mercedes in low speed corners. It just doesn't make any sense.

[@cdb420]

As far as the super cooling goes, if the pressure of the liquid is increased it can also reach below its freezing temperature.

[@deegan463]

As you say in the end, both are ahead of the pack because of genius engineering, but both philosophies are legit, and it only comes down to how the high performance is put on the street in given circumstances. I think the one, who can push itself as a team and their car to 100% each race weekend, will win the championship. It might be decided by little errors as Hamilton and Mercedes did in Turkey (good idea to take only the 10 place grid penalty but then not to box in the right window, which was a delicate decision).

3:59-re: ice water radiator, ice oil cooler, etc... You have an engine putting out 1000 HP (ie, 735kW) but at least that much is generated in the form of heat. Given that you effectively have a 700kW heater, the ice isn't going to last very long.

[@xb70valkyriech]

8:00 I'm not sure what type of coolant Mercedes is using, but I find it hard to believe they are using coolant that is being cooled to below it's freezing point. Water freezes at 0 C/32 F, so unless their car has some sort of refrigerator on board, there's no way they're supercooling coolant using just ambient airflow (and F1 races don't usually occur when it's below freezing outside). If I had to guess, "supercooled" in this context does not mean the coolant is being cooled below its freezing point, but rather it means that the coolant is being cooled below its boiling point. When referring to systems that use a combination of vapor and liquid (more believable in this context), supercooled means the vapor-liquid mixture is being cooled below the temperature that all of the vapor condenses into liquid. That being said, I am making the assumption that their coolant is primarily water. This makes sense as most cars use water-based coolant, and water has an extremely high specific heat capacity, so it transfers heat very effectively for it's weight. But if they're using some exotic chemical for their coolant, my argument is null.

[@alesksander]

Also tech rules forbit any phase change coolands. So yeah hard to said if that is true. Plus intake plenum temperature is monitored by FIA ECU.

[@dandewar8403]

@@alesksander yes FIA monitor intake temperature, it can only be from memory 10c lower than ambient temperature, that’s why Redbull questioned where the temperature sensor has to be fitted because it’s thought Mercedes are running coolant through the intake manifold AFTER the sensor reducing intake temps.

[@alesksander]

@@dandewar8403 Yeah maybe. But FIA tech officers are not dumb or are they? If there is something on this i imagine this is almost carbon copy situation of Ferrari. Maybe they really use "cavity" inside carbon plenum to provide that advantage. Technically is possible yes. But huge red flag against that is how Mercedes out willingly spoken about revolutionary" plenum design before and even during this season. Normally Merc operates under smoke and mirrors tactics. Whole 2013 season was meme, 2014-2016 hiding aero dominance, 2017 diva car with Pirelli understandings - those pesky wheel rims and lobby for oil burning etc. I guess there advantage is on other place or there are none. Maybe they just perfected combustion of this hybrid are to perfection. Nowadays they just squeezing as much performance they can .So they got perf issues. naturally. And luckily for them in next seasons you can resolve any anomaly's even under freezing rules. So is worth it to push harder and fix thingies later. Overall design seems just solid for them. Same for Honda witch impressive resurgence and catch up gets them high praise and any magic bullets are very unlikely at this stage.

7:36 - variable-length intakes are not common in road cars, but they do exist. My Caterham has a Zetec with variable-length inlets (it's the fancy Zetec from the Ford Focus SVT), and it does indeed work really well with a much flatter torque curve than the standard Zetec.

I'm with you, I was trying to figure this out as well. In theory if you could bleed some compressed air off the inlet (after the intercooler) then expand that back to ambient pressure you might be able to get below ambient temp. Maybe run that air through a cooler to cool your working fluid? Not even sure it's possible once you account for efficiencies and relatively small heat capacity of the bleed air compared to the plenum air. I don't think they'd be using a refrigerant cycle (doubt the rules would even allow that) due to weight and the power loss to run the compressor.

Hamilton is a great driver in the fastest car so doesn't normally have competition he gets way out in front, next year we will see if he can actually battle and drive well with other probably equally skilled drivers keeping the pressure on assuming he is even at the or near the front of the pack might not be the case next year, although I'm sure Mercedes will bend as many rules as possible to make sure they have the best car again.

[@Shabec2982]

Out thinking your opponents isn’t “unfair” if it’s within the rules regulations. Don’t blame the Mercedes’ engineers for being more clever than their rivals. Don’t complained about “Mercedes’ dominance”. Complain to your favorite constructors about why they’re unable to match technical skill and know how.

[@dzemalmemisevic7887]

why is every one keeping quiet about mercedes front wing flex. in Turkey the wing flexed so much i could not believe it.

[@alexanderandersson4093]

I hope max wins

[@gamingandtechnology6913]

I don't care who ever wins. But this has given birth to next gen technology, the more competitive teams get the better equipment they build ..... Engines, aero etc etc getting more advance and efficient ..... Can't wait for f1 22.... I love your videos Scott , you are the best

[@no101]

F1 isnt about winning or losing. Not even who's cheating. It's about who gets screwed over the most every year by stupid rule changes.

[@otooleniall]

You forgot the new Honda energy store which had remained unchanged since 2014. It is lighter and more efficient.

Just got to hope Lewis totals his car to make up for trying to kill Max at Silverstone

[@4ntoCatch]

your no F1 expert if you believe that

@@4ntoCatch Let's pretend that it was an accident lol .. can we also pretend that there's a God as well and that father Xmas gives toys to 2 billion kids in one night. 🤣🤣

[@4ntoCatch]

@@stableianF1oracle Tactical foul perhaps. Max played chicken on the outside of copse . Not wise . Nico said it never goes right on the outside of Lewis .

[@stableianF1oracle]

@@4ntoCatch Not sure Max leaving Lewis 15 ft for a 6ft wide car is chicken ... Lewis went beyond his skill and control level and knew he'd send max into the wall. As I say I hope Lewis twats a wall this year so he knows what max went through. With a gimpy 10 second penalty for attempted murder max should do some high speed skulduggery and give Lewis a nice concrete dinner. Lol 🤣

[@4ntoCatch]

@@stableianF1oracle Lewis was legally squeezed into the inside corner and was never going to make that apex space at that speed. Max would have known that. It looked like Lewis was starting to back out as he was understeering just before contact tbh and it was wheel contact not a T bone shunt . Max didnt believe it was done with intent either, he was annoyed with Lewis for his post race celebrations. Peace

As I understand it, the split turbo also allows for simplified plumbing, which allows for tighter packaging. Why the others haven't gone this route already I don't understand.

[@bobbynofsinger4897]

All engine makes have adopted it by now but Honda is the first to use it in that form of way. Merc was the first to do it and since it helped with engine power and efficiency. Renault and Ferrari both adopted the improvement as well.

[@mrj3217]

I am really pulling for Max here . He is such a great wheel to wheel racer.

[@xturner09]

You should do a video explaining F1 logistics. Like how the pack and ship the cars and equipment

[@fridaycaliforniaa236]

I might dislike Formula 1, I still recognize your videos are a real pleasure to watch =) Great channel =)

Like I say In a Year You will Hit 1 million, You are so clear and simple when you explain, is amazing.

[@beagle7622]

In 1967 Lotus got the DFV & the Lotus 49.. They already had Jim Clark. He won races not the car . Yes it was faster than the Brabham in a straight line but Jack’s cars still won the championship. Graham Hill couldn’t get the car to work . I haven’t watched the end yet but Louis is becoming a major factor in Mercedes winning Races.By 1968 the DFV was totally dominant.

[@slevingaius]

Come 2022 i hope Honda's engine being compact will give them the advantage given the change to fuel, tire and aero dynamics.

[@mickvonbornemann3824]

With charger pressurerized fuel, electronic control of spark & electronic control of pneumatic valves you could design the engine to run as a 2 stroke at high revs while making sure it only runs 4 stroke during stationary testing. Mind you with a crank designed for a 4 stroke 720 degree firing order V6, while in 2 stroke mode one will be doing 2 concurrent 2 stroke 3 cylinder cycles. But that’s no big deal, that’s how Ricardo’s dual stroker works, (I assume). Having double the power strokes means more power regardless of the fact they’re concurrent.

[@lokihan1er]

Toto wolf already said that the result at silverstone confirmed something and that they unlocking a new thing, a new path. He didn't elaborate. Whatever Redbull is cooking, Mercedes is doing something even crazier.

[@AdotLOM]

This is why I've never bought the idea of RB somehow "having the better car" this season, or the notion of RB and Merc having "swapped places". Many of the people saying this tended to ignore such points made about Merc in past seasons on the string of their success, owing credit to the drivers when they probably didn't make up that difference on performance that people would want to think.

[@thbabni]

@@AdotLOM The Redbull having a better car thing comes from the regulation which removed downforce elements (Kept the different pressure Air from going under the car?! Not sure but something like that) from the skirt of the Mercedes' but Redbull are not as affected as much cause they run a (High rake, Shorter Car) compared to Mercedes (Low Rake, Longer Car) Basically, the FIA stopped another team to benefit another (hindsight 2020)

[@nm-1-m159]

Yeah Mercedes wings got clipped, add that to the fact that this years car was on the back burner early so they could focus on next year's car is pretty much an insult as if to say any other teams that are close are only because of hindrance/focusing on another era

[@ajaymanoj3527]

From great power comes great responsibilities. Mercedes can't afford to make even one mistake while maintainance because their system is much more complex than any other F1 cars and that makes it more prone to system failure on track a small hit could possibly disrupt the system but on the contrary redbull engines use less complex system and care more about aerodynamics. Don't know if my views are wrong or not.

[@scottmeredith3359]

Excited for closer racing next year, but I kinda hate that F1 is turning into a spec series

[@phoenixboyz]

I wonder what is the secret for Mercedes in the last Istanbul GP that RB keeps whining they can't catch up on them

[@doargietweitervandah]

1. Mercedes had more info hetzelfde on the track by doing more research in advance. 2. They boosted the turbo. But the question keeping this kind of pace up until the end of seaseon still remains.

[@arielnaveh6020]

the phase diagram you show as 8:24 is actually of water. the line solid-liquid separation line going with a negative slope is called the anomaly of water, since in most materials this line has a positive slope. so i'm not sure the phase diagram here tells the correct physics of supercooling
