[@undergroundmonorail]

I mean it sort of is, he mentions the richest teams getting the best drivers

[@quintuscrinis]

The driver certainly has a part ot play, though not necessarily the biggest part and it depends on who and where. Lauda and Schumacher definitely helped turn around Ferrari in their day (both also being key in the current Mercedes dominance). But arguably Red Bull could have got a few titles without Vettel or Verstappen, Alonso managed to drag his Ferrari close a few times.

[@colouredIncognito]

That depends on the money tbf

I've been watching your videos for some time now and I was thinking that maybe you could do a video explaining what this channel is and who you are. I'm sure I'm not the only one who wants to know more about you! So you could tell us were did you come up with your name, why did you start youtube, where are you from, what are you studing/what degrees do you have and so on. I get that some people want to keep their privacy, and it's ok if you do, but it would be nice for us to get a little bit closer to you and develop that friendly feeling. Keep up the good work, your videos are always insanely well made! Thanks!

[@nielsvanb]

So you made a video explaining the undercut. Can you now make a video explaining the OVERcut?

[@Henrix1998]

The basic principle is same, you get an advantage over competitor, in this case you will have 1/ fresher tyres and 2/ less likely to get stuck in traffic

[@actualtoaster34]

Its the opposite

[@claycopter]

Sometimes overcuts can make other drivers jump ahead too, so that requires analysis.

[@stoo8441]

Simple really. When a overcut works, it’s usually when a faster car is stuck behind a slower car and when being on old tyres is not a major disadvantage to fresh tyres. This means when the car ahead pits, the car behind is now able to show his true pace and outpace the car he was behind (despite being on old tyres), therefore coming out ahead when he pits. Traffic is also a big factor in a overcut. Even if the two cars are closely matched and fresher tyres is still advantageous, sometimes the car ahead will pit first to avoid being undercut, but instead get stuck behind traffic and therefore post slower times on fresh tyres, than the old tyres on the car he was fighting with that stayed out longer. That means that when the car that was initially behind before any pit stops, pits, he is able to come out ahead as he was going faster enough than the other car that he was able to get a gap which is bigger than how long it takes for a pit stop. Note: He was able to go quicker on the old tyres because of the dirty air effect the car in traffic experienced. A prime example of this is the Australian GP of last year when Hamilton pit first from the lead, got stuck behind Verstappen and Vettel was able to post faster times in clear air until the point that he had a gap that was more than a pit stop worth ahead. He duly pitted, came out ahead, and won the race.

[@chidieberendukwu]

Monaco. 2017. Vettel did an OVERCUT on Raikkonen because he was able to gain more in those 2 laps before he went into the pit.

[@Lukim]

I hope Sauber can get back to where they are say in 2011 - fighting for superior midfield team. I would hate for them to end up like HRT, Manor, Caterham etc

[@michaelburgarino]

Lukim I think Alfa will help them get back to that

[@1barnet1]

I've a good feeling on sauber next year This year chassis wasn't that rubbish the 2016 Ferrari engine just didn't have enough power. And their best driver got shitty parts. Leclerc is An inspiring talent, the current Ferrari engine was a close second and Alfa Romeo sponsoring eleminates the most severe budget constraints. I believe Sauber will be mid tier and outperform Haas next season. At least Leclerc. Ericsson is as bad as Palmer. He wouldn't even score points with a proper Ferrari.

Idk why you don't have more subscribers than the official F1 channel. These videos and animations are great!

[@youtubeaddict1234]

Can you make a video about team name changes, buyouts, etc? I'm a relatively new fan and it's really confusing. Ex: is 1950s Mercedes the same (spiritual, legal, brand) entity as 2018 Mercedes? What about Force India/Spyker/Midland/Jordan? Do your coloured lines in this video represent the same legal company that's been bought and sold and renamed? How are teams created and destroyed? Thank you I love your work!!

[@dotdot8614]

It isnt, the 1950's Mercedes was based on another place and had other types of resources and backing, today's Mercedes is essentially a buy out from the bases of Brawn GP/Honda/BAR/Tyrrell in Brackley, and their backing, investors and assets are all different. Jordan was sold to a Russian consortium called Midland Group in 2005, and in 2006 the team filled an entry that stated that the team was still Jordan, just under a different guise, same case for Spyker and then Force India, Racing Point however is a completely new team since Lawrence Stroll doesnt have any control of the entry point that established the Silverstone based squad since 1991, so Jordan officially died halfway through 2018.

[@RikiNewtonMusicianSongwriter]

Extremely interesting. I love F1 - but the engineering, research, development, innovation, circumventing the regs, technical prowess and the general competitive spirit in all - I find utterly enthralling. Been addicted the F1 for nearly 50 years. My first F1 race ? The 1974 International Trophy at Silverstone (I lived very close) - the excitement, noise and pure exhilaration - won me over and turned me into a complete F1 fanatic. I lived in a pub as a young lad and many teams and drivers frequented it - which meant I often heard first hand information before many others. Extremely educating - and all those guys were just lovely people and never came across as arrogant or condescending - never. I will love them - and everything Formula One - till my dying day.

[@anthonydayspring9923]

What a *fantastic* video? How do you do this are you in the sport?

[@acepilot87]

It makes me think of the old days of Australian Touring Cars, where all the different classes raced together but were classified separately for points - even when the V8s took over, there were still the "Pro" and "Private" categories. They knocked that off in the end, but the principle still works in F1 somewhat. Maybe have a Class A for the loaded teams and then a Class B for the "privateer" teams, and have totally separate championships without sacrificing the number of cars on the grid. I think this solution might work, but I'd really rather see a more interesting and competitive formula across the board where the rules were fairer and cash was less of an issue. Basically, some kind of F1 salary cap?

4:10 *Cadbury logo* Did Chain Bear predicated the Freddo fiasco at McLaren?

[@pklimbic]

You completely forgot an important point: disruptive innovation. It happens very rarely in F1 (probably because it’s a bunch of engineers who think they’re the best at everything), but when it happens, it gives yiu a 2-3 season advantage. The wing car, traction control, the double diffusor, the blown diffusor, active suspension, sepatating the cold from hot hot part of the turbo.... the biggest advantages come from innovation that doesn’t even require an engineering degree - it just requires ingenuity, playfulness and common sense. And those three aren’t bery polular amongst engineers, are they!

[@Wacoal34d]

This is a fun approach, fresh and insightful. Thanks.

[@alexparker4244]

I love the video, but also have an idea for a related one: do you think that the rulemakers (FiA) get it right when making the rules to balance competitiveness? Or, do you think the FiA effectively manages teams becoming more or less competitive.

Not that Easy look at Honda and, more than ever Toyota, Toyota thow more money at f1 than any f1 team in history and that they didn't win a single rice during their 9 year existence, while Mercedes with less money started to dominate the sport in just 4 years

[@jgonzalesm6]

The Power of Dreams - Wrong!!!! Flash-224 is correct. It's money and LOTS OF IT. "Toyota throws more money at F1 than any F1 team in history"---> proof???? Where's the link to this nonsense??? What era of F1 are you talking about--->Toyota's nine years in F1???? Ferrari has been in F1 for over 70 years and have never left the sport. Ferrari sells exotic cars...that's it. Mercedes is in the car (all markets-->compact to exotic), SUVs, semi-trucks, and the aerospace industry. Honda is also in tthe same segment as Mercedes but they also sell lawnmowers, generators, weed-eaters, motorcycles (all-segments). Both are way more diverse than Toyota from a global perspective and bring in more money. Hyundai too is in the automotive and truck industry but are also into heavy construction machinery and mega-cargo ships....but they are into rallying. Surprise they don't throw their money into F1....let alone Formula E..which Mercedes has a foot in the door already. BMW, Toyota, Jaguar, Honda, Mercedes have come and gone from F1....they stay until it suits them and leave.....they are the whores of F1.

[@jessechen4971]

Is there no regulation to balance the budget issue?

[@rockets-dont-makegood-toas7728]

IMO its the gray areas of the rules where F1 and most manufacturer backed teams racing. The team that has the best engineers who can manipulate the rules into their favor are the guys who win. This is applied to every program. The Engine, aero, braking, transmission, chasis, drivers etc. IMO If your team follow the rules without trying to bend or manipulate the rules w/o breaking them cant ever win.

[@ZeroTheHeroGOAT]

Before watching; Money is the answer. After watching some; "Starting money" is of course a factor. Ferrari and Mercedes have huge pockets to begin with. Then success breeds success because it brings in prize money, but more importantly the brand name that gives better commercial deals and sells more fan products. Solution-ish; The difference in prize money between the winner and last place should be symbolic to ensure that even the smallest teams are somewhat competitive. This would allow for more surprises in individual races which would break up the monotony and make the sport more interesting without upsetting the balance completely. Mercedes would probably still win most races and win constructors for a while but with a smaller margin between Mercedes, Ferrari and the closest trailers.
