What do F1 teams learn using this testing device?

I love how you upload vids that answer my doubts a hour after i have them. Anyways, keep up the good work, and I love the professionalism you have! Thanks a lot WTF1!!!! Love y'all!

The car isnot just sidepods. Merc is much worse ballanced than Ferrari, those little vents means worse cooling the engine and less grip from the carosery. It can be dissterous with too much grip from the floor (purposing). Easy man.

It's wild that somewhere out there, there exists an absolutely perfect way to put the car together under the regulations. There could have been, and likely was, some crazy aero configuration that would have put Williams at the front of the grid last year, but they just never found it. That's the true beauty of this sport, intense engineering can sometimes be outdone by blind luck in the way the air ends up flowing over the car, which lead Williams to grab a surprise podium because their setup was accidentally better than the others in extreme wet conditions during qualifying.

[@AyyFuji]

Good to mention that the tams generally do certain speed tests while the air rakes are on the car (I forget which team and driver, but I think it was Hulkenberg at Renault who showed that it's 5-6 stages, going from low speed up to 160km/h I think), none of what I just said is certain, but I do believe that there is a video that helps explain the procedures they use.

[@oneshotme]

Who is also so bored at home that you click on every youtube notification when a new video comes out?

[@thelastsurviver_]

More specifically, aero rakes are to check correlation with wind tunnel and CFD data

OMG! I was just googling about this thing and wasn't getting something proper, just then came across your video. Love u 🥂

You could do a video about all the actual tyre componente, especially C5 and C1, and when you can use them.

[@Enra000]

[@nvstewart]

A lot of videos repeat what was said in previous videos. If a newcomer to f1 starts watching this channel, are they likely to see this video, or go through possibly hundreds of videos to dig out the video from last year or the year before?

Now a video about the “flow paint” please

[@Picar70]

0:54 Nice fairy-tail soundeffect ;D

[@reggie5]

Yes, I like it how teams use something relatively old school and manual that you can see to develop their cars. But I always worry, with F1's emphasis on safety, that screwing some temporary garbage to the car is never good for following drivers. Is there a minimum distance that drivers should keep behind one of these cars fitted with this (thinking of Massa's incident with the flying nut a few years ago) should it become detached and let go?

[@KissTheGreat]

2:34 “do we even need side pods?”

[@Saxo]

Do they have separate engines for testing or does the testing use one of the engines they use throughout the year?

[@wingracer1614]

The engine for FP1 at the first race is the first engine in your pool. You can go through a thousand of them before that if you wish. If not, McLaren Honda would have been getting 50 place grid penalties for the first race a few years back, LOL.

Have we ever seen smoke pellets at the front of cars with camera's positioned so they can watch the air moving in real time? I suppose the opposition would be able to see what was going on, but l wouldn't mind seeing it also.
