HOW AN F1 STEERING WHEEL WORKS FT. DANIEL RICCIARDO

[@sannidhyabalkote9536]

This is a better explaination than most other f1 steering wheel explainer

[@tomasamorim1238]

True, I was thinking about it

[@jacobmanitowabie-cooke6141]

You can tell his attitude within the team is great.

[@DJModsChannel]

if only he could use it better than Yuki

[@derjaxxer]

Absolutely, i‘ve never seen anyone explaining the fail 23 thing etc. Very interesting!

[@BenDunlop]

Props to the interviewer, navigated a deceptively complex subject in an approachable way

[@manujohn99]

[@prjoeyj]

You can tell he actually enjoyed this too. Fucking awesome video, thanks

[@VisualSimSport]

dude's such a likeable person. excellent interviewer as well. good watch this one.

[@multidex33]

Great questions Tim! I think Riccy was really impressed!

[@timhauraney01]

Thanks so much!

[@usedtoexistonce]

i miss these sort of videos this is the type of formula one content we actually need

[@good3golf]

Calibrating pit lane speed to tire compound is mind blowing.

[@MarkoVukovic0]

It's not so much to do with the compound, it's about the differing circumferences of the wet/dry tyres. This affects the speed sensing and drive ratio.

[@heinous70]

​@@MarkoVukovic0exactly. The exact same concept is the reason why police officers typically leave you alone for being two or three miles per hour over the speed limit. Going from the correct factory size at full tread depth, down to the wire bars or beyond, can make that much of a difference.

[@sixpackpilot]

Not so much...I also have a button in my tiny VW Up! that resets the tyre circumference measurement (for when I have changed tyre pressure, usually increased). Otherwise my car warns me I might have a flat tyre. Same thing when I put a different set of tyres on. Is pretty common.

[@Slimebiter]

@@MarkoVukovic0Oh neat, thanks for explaining that!

[@VoidSixx]

@@heinous70 That's in the opposite direction. Wearing the tread down will give a smaller diameter which will make your speedometer read faster than you're actually going. So if you had smaller than factory wheels, your speedo might read 70mph but you'd actually be doing say 68mph. Tread wear is going to make hardly any difference on a road car.

[@JoshuaLindsey92]

This is the best steering wheel explanation! and the best interviewer questions. You can tell he's a fan also!!

[@kevinbarrett1362]

I see dan in a commentary role when he retires he`s a very likeable personality and very down to earth in person very passionate for his craft so he`ll be a great asset and ambassador for F1 in the media industry...

[@apeacebone6499]

Really fantastic breakdown of the steering wheel! Daniel's explanations are clear and precise, and Tim asks excellent questions.

[@CinHalCedHerChance]

5:23 Daniel coming for you photo-man 😂😂

[@DBazzy]

Daniel, a short view back to the past. Thirty years ago, Niki Lauda told us ‘take a monkey, place him into the cockpit and he is able to drive the car.’ Thirty years later, Sebastian told us ‘I had to start my car like a computer, it’s very complicated.’ And Nico Rosberg said that during the race - I don’t remember what race - he pressed the wrong button on the wheel. Question for you both: is Formula One driving today too complicated with twenty and more buttons on the wheel, are you too much under effort, under pressure? What are your wishes for the future concerning the technical programme during the race? Less buttons, more? Or less and more communication with your engineers?

[@wooof.]

😂😂😂 classic Miss the 6 panel interviews

I really hope Daniel gets to stay in F1. He is such a vibrant force and always a great person. He’s had some bad form lately, but let’s remember that he also has a crap drive this year too. Hard to make all things go great when you don’t have the best equipment to rely on for doing your job. F1 wouldn’t be the same without him on the grid.

[@NefastusJones]

Which button dispenses the Red Bull?

[@boski112]

[@DJChipsandGarlic]

[@DomanicSmith-Jones]

My question, if a driver changes team, is that still their wheel, and do they keep the like button placements, (like keyboard mapping on a PC) or do you just have to learn a new wheel?

[@fallenshallrise]

Each team has a different wheel design. But like he said there are some buttons and paddles that can be customized so that even 2 drivers on the same team can have them preset to do different things. Generally they are similar because the regulations specify what the driver is able to control.

[@chimpdogs]

Keep in the points Danny we need you to stick around

[@infledermaus]

How often do you hit the wrong button?

[@calpilot7]

Really really like Danny R. F1 is better with the likes of him. Like to see back at RB instead of Checo.

[@ibaaurora6704]

[@dande412]

Love you Danny

[@spencerleeb]

I wonder, on a normal lap, how many button presses a driver would complete. Every up/down shift, DRS, bias adjustment, etc

[@r.sakarollsafe1285]

shifting gears alone can contribute up to 50 clicks on the paddle shifters on a normal lap. DRS you maybe click on it twice or so depending on if you get the chance and tracks you're in due to different zones. bias adjustment will be fiddled with constantly throughout the corners. most of them assigned different bias for different corners and so on. and Like Daniel said, it's just autopilot when the red lights off.

[@SEGREDOSPROIBIDOS1]

Just imagine Stroll doing it 😅

[@detoowang]

He’d throw the wheel across the table

[@r.sakarollsafe1285]

I guarantee it he'll answer "I don't know what happened man" HAHAHAHAHA

[@jayb2705]

Shut up Brad!

[@heinous70]

He would drop it, and in the process it would likely hit and damaged someone else's steering wheel

[@billierizky5486]

He’ll be arguing whether the pit confirm button is the okay button or not 😂

[@RiddleTime]

Thank you

[@kingofcastlechaos]

I did not realize how much tech was involved. My only experience with F1 was being responsible for the video feed from the COTA inaugural race over to Europe. My project manager told me "This needs to have ZERO glitches, those people over there WILL swim the Atlantic to come here and kill us both." I really thought she was kidding but the more I found out about the F1 world it became apparent that we were fortunate to have everything go well that day.

[@Naessey]

Great video…

[@rogersexp]

Luv YOu Daniel!

[@wnturck]

Informative

[@Guz2x]

I still don't quite understand the brake bias and the differential stuff. I guess you must actually feel the difference to get it right.

[@MuhammadNiz007]

Well it's easy. A differential setting simply means how much power each wheel gets. For example around a left handed corner the left hand tyre gets extreme load so they change the settings to give it more engine load than the right tyre to avoid spinning the wheels. Brake biased is simply ratio of brakes applied to all 4 brake pads. I-e you are in heavy breaking zones you will have brake biased maximum front so that it doesn't lock up and when in a medium or high speed corner you will have it rear wards

[@hayanico]

Like how he explained it

[@jeffschulkin2446]

[@Lizardballzz]

I can change songs and turn the volume up/down on my steering wheel.

[@mohammedalnayar]

Its all fun and games, until the monaco race. If u look down at the steering wheel for a dplit second, u are into the wall 😂😂😂

[@seriously_america]

As much as the teams spend on R&D with these cars you would think they would have a cold drink on board for the drivers. I know they are a trying to minimize weight but there has got to be a way to keep a drink at room temp at least and not hot disgusting tea as Riccardo said.

[@dasfowler]

So it's probably not just weight (which is a factor since cooling requires both movement and either a conduit or an endothermic reaction), but also temperature regulation. Engines need to be at higher temps to operate properly since they, and the fluids inside, are specifically designed for high performance. Any cooling mechanism would have to be heavily insulated to not throw off the temperature regulation in the cars. Every engine is a complex set of physics and chemistry problems that can only exist under certain conditions and any additional variables makes those conditions far less stable.

[@Lemmi7810]

I didn't know Borat is now a F1 driver.

[@leongt1954]

Guess Dan made a fool out of Villeneuve Q5 P8 race including a 5 sec penalty for a so called jump start that never happened
