Why Mercedes' F1 Car is Unbeatable

Thanks to Raycon for sponsoring today’s episode of Bumper 2 Bumper. Go to buyraycon.com/... for 15% off your order! Brought to you by Raycon.
Mercedes AMG Petronas has the most wins out of any F1 team of the last Decade. With 6 back to back World Constructors Championships and a 7th on the way (lets be honest), the Toto Wolff pack has been smashing the competition. It's not just the talents of Lewis Hamilton, Nico Rosberg, and Valtteri Bottas that have been getting the Silver Arrows the points though. Each of the V6 turbo hybrid era Mercedes F1 cars has been a dominant machine. In this video Jeremiah is going to dive deep into the tech of what makes the Mercedes AMG Petronas team so fast. From their unique approach to aerodynamics, to engine cooling, to the wild innovations that they've brought to the track. If you want to find out how the Mercedes keeps on winning, this is the place.

[@MrHunterbg]

I think the most impressive invention was when Lewis and Bottas pushed the steering wheel in to change the camber for better grip in the corners. Then when you are on a straight, pull it out for more speed. Really says a lot about their willingness to think outside of the box.

[@steveflatman]

It changes the toe angle (angle wheels point away from direction of travel - usually towards the centre line of the car by a few degrees) not the camber (angle wheels are tilted away from vertical, usually with the top towards the centre of the car by a few degrees). Along the straight DAS takes out almost all of the toe so rolling resistance is minimised, in corners it allows them to set more toe than normal making the car turn in more precisely.

[@edennard1]

The DAS system was so far ahead of a design that all the other teams threaten to sue the FIA if they didn’t do anything about it so the FIA Banned it after the 2019 season… The f1 W 11 was just a freak of a f1 car..

[@steveflatman]

Also allowed them to heat the tyres quicker to get them into the window without cooking them on the straights, particularly on circuits with chicanes after long straights, and after safety cars.

[@Lego___]

Regardless of if Mercedes is longer or not, the wheelbase of modern cars should be a lot shorter. F1 cars are just ridiculous now.

[@INMATEofARKHAM]

It should. F1's biggest problem is that you know whose going to win so why invest time in it?

[@BigBoyXP4014]

Mercs got a faster car because they have by far the largest budget and most experience of any auto manufacturer in F1. They invented the petrol engine. Anyone expecting them to not shit-stomp the entire racing class with these conditions is at best naive. F1 needs budget limits like other sports leagues have salary cap limits. As it stands, whoever has the most money and is willing to spend the most of it will win. Only now, in the last year of the current regulations, are other teams starting to catch up. And when the regs change again we'll watch the whole cycle repeat itself. Hamilton and Bottas are both excellent drivers, Hamilton is arguably the best to ever do it, but being in the best car on the track for the majority of his career has certainly helped.

9:22 Even if refueling is not banned, higher fuel economy means you either load less fuel, allowing you to drive faster or you always load a full tank and then you get less pit stops for refueling (depends on the circuit's speed and stuff like that). And even if nothing else changes, that few seconds saved by the need to pump in less fuel over a race can mean a few seconds less time spent racing, giving an advantage to the team.

6:28 where did you get that 3,725m long F1 car, that the length in the 60's maybe, today's F1 car are +5m long by regulation 9:42 party modes are now banned since 2 GrandPrix, the ban mean that they can't change engine map during race to get an advantage and the selected map is for the engine itself, no matter the team, so Mercedes, Williams and Racing Point have the (nearly, if the client teams made the change, like for Lance Stroll because he trashed hes one at Mugello) exact same engine 10:56 yes, they have some problem with heat but also high altitude tracks like Mexico and some other one (eather case, its cooling) 12:09 wrong, 1. they can't push in, only out 2. when they pull the wheel, it toes in to have nearly 0° of toe, the toe out help cornering, not in the only fact we know its that its help maybe a little bit for top speed (1-2 km/h) because of the friction of the front tire by not being at 0° toe and it helps them to keep the tire temp stable and get more grip out of it, but the rest, its Mercedes secret (like every thing else)

4:07 “Turbulent air is like when you’re watching a youtube video, and then the ad comes in” *AD REALLY DOES COME IN* I see what you did there donut media

[@gabednconfused]

Well, as a now *former* designer of these Merc F1 cars (I got tired of winning after 6 yrs, back to the US for me), I think your video is nice in that it highlights some of the nuances which make the car unique, but for sure overlooks some of the big performance adders which we engineer in to this car. I really enjoy your channel, but yeah there will be a lot lost to the typ F1 viewer. The big take-aways which you can point to are correct though - vehicle and thus floor length, you didn't touch on the suspension at all which is very complex, and the power unit. More power means you can run more wing, you need to look at sector times to really see this benefit. One notable misnomer you brought up- no one wants their engine to run 'super cool', we want it to run at as high and consistent of a temperature as possible within the various constraints. Keeps heat losses to a minimum increasing that thermal efficiency you touched on. This is an often overlooked aspect of the Merc car and most of the others on the grid. Happy to chat about other things now I am retired and washed up. Back to restoring GTRs and watching football for me. @gabednconfused

[@MNGxGhost]

Of course dude, you can't make a 15 min presentation and explain EVERYTHING about why the mercs are so good. Suspensions, brakes, cooling, ERS, all the parts of the PU, all the teeny tiny bits of intricate aero fantasies. They dumbed it down a little but stayed very accurate and to the point. it was a nice video for anyone who isn't a die hard f1 fan. Hell even for me it was interesting.

[@gsopoagmle]

Williams and racing point use merc engine but yet alpha Tauri and especially Red Bull beat them on regular basis. Merc engine is powerful but their car is extremely good. Renault has powerful engine too but their car sucks.

simple answer: Marc Marquez (and his aggressive, athletic riding style)

[@florianhofer9055]

Alain?

[@davidcolin6519]

@@zmotorsport2815 Simple answer; It's not. MM93 has been out all season and the best HRC rider is Nakagami in what, 8th? HRC have been unbeatable because MM was willing to risk his health more than any other rider. MM93 has an average crash/event that is higher than any other rider. Until this year, he had been so fortunate in the results of his offs that even DP26 remarked on it. Contrast that with VR46's period of dominance in the class and you'll see that VR46 only very rarely crashed. Both MM93 And VR46 were aggressive and athletic, the difference is how far MM93 has been willing to go.

[@zmotorsport2815]

David Colin yeah but the Honda bike was only unbeatable because Marquez was their rider. That’s what made it unbeatable. I don’t know why you’re correcting me.

[@_r0b0warrior_]

Through different presentations of internships/job opportunities of these teams at my university, and working in Formula Student, this is what I realised: Other teams like Red Bull or Ferrari might lack in engine or aerodynamics department, or some other team might have great senior engineers but lack good junior people, or vice versa. But Mercedes has the best people from top to bottom (think of the brightest people from your university classes). And this makes a huge difference as there is no weak link in their engineering organisation. You can find little engineering innovations that makes Mercedes or any other team better in a specific area all day long. But when you realise that Mercedes' engineers make all of it work as a package, you immediately see where other teams lack.
