F1 driver has a ton to do during the formation lap

[@yelistener]

Abu Dhabi last lap: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eWW9oq2lncaYirs There's an easter egg in this video. It's in the 2nd half.

[@Nicosdayinthelife]

The Easter egg is at 3:34. Ocon's rear wing said El Pan

[@Fake-rt9uk]

honestly with yelistener's skill he can probably do a telemetry breakdown of a whole race

[@JoyKazuhira]

all these years since i was a kid, i thought the burn outs on last corners a their last tyre warm up. i never thought of removing rubbers.

[@speedandpower1268]

Removing rubber is essential as Fernando qualified below P10 last year at Abu Dhabi, hence had new tires, when there are new tires used for the start of the Gran Prix it is important to remove the top layer of new rubber in order to gain the best possible grip from the new tyre.

[@arturorodriguez5399]

I Saw It hahahaha

[@Aim____Higher]

I didn’t know F1 cars had a burnout button honestly I don’t think they need it

[@tirve]

I loved it. One thing. Fernando is well known for his really good starts along his career. I always notice he is the one that do the most burnouts before the start. Or at least the most aggressive or the one that does it in the very last metters before stopping in the grid before the actual start. Is it just me??

[@speedandpower1268]

Technically, a driver is allowed to do as many burnouts as he wishes in the last few corners before forming up in his grid slot. The thing is, Fernando loves to delay his formation lap start by just that few seconds in order to have an aggressive launch before hitting the pit lane limiter, this helps with tyre warm up, his burnouts are also done as efficiently as possible with left and right steering wheel movements, this all definitely comes from experience.

[@tirve]

@@speedandpower1268 experience is a thing for sure but the guy has been hitting superb starts from his early years, I think it has to have something to do with the tyre warmup in formation laps. It would be great to have the data available to see these little details

[@palashagrawal1884]

[@costa_349]

I could never be an F1 driver ... even if I was a fast driver and had been karting out the womb, I would not be able to remember all that. I'd be doing burnouts out of turn 3, using the pit limiter on the car park outside, accidentally driving Carlos Sainz's Golf instead of my F1 car 😭😭

[@fulopferenc5595]

“Gentlemen, 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’......“ 😂😂😂

[@anonymousfuck9320]

Less buttons and more communication with your Engineer?

[@Hyper_drive214]

Bro this channel is fuckin gold. Subbed immediately 🔥

[@ryanokeefe12]

the burnout button simply sets the brake balance all the way forward so that the drivers can apply the brakes to keep the car speed low and locking the diff so that both rear wheels spin at the same speed... where do you get your information from? If it's doing anything to torque, its reducing torque, lowering the rev limit and not using any of the ERS energy as there is no time to regenerate that energy before the race. Dulling the torque will stop the tyres from spinning to the moon while the front brakes are on and having the back end of the car trying spin.

[@DejonckheereWard]

Any info on why this is done, is it specifically for hard tyres, since they're more difficult to heat up?

[@eduardosci1909]

Very good video! Tks and thumbs up, of course.

[@r.five.3]

is it just me, or does that wheel have alot more side to side movement than youd think was normal lol

[@sebparent3501]

1:53 Me too I was very surprised by how much the wheel was moving. I thought F1 were stiff as hell.

[@speedandpower1268]

Mainly due to the resistance from the tyres at low speed that causes the wheel to move on it's own

[@ezequielhassen1710]

Broo where you find tye clips??? I needd them too!!!!

[@defnotatroll]

Why do they need to turn on recharge mode on the formation lap when they already do it at the end of qualy? Shouldn't the ES be full already?

[@David-qp8xm]

Maybe to top it up? Or maybe because the computers have their settings already to use energy on different parts of the circuit during the race and this mode overrides the settings? Idk anything about anything so I'm just guessing.

[@betobeto1241]

They do some warmup laps before the formation lap too

[@maxlamento4181]

Qualifying is a day before the race, on the Sunday after the Qualy, the ES of the car will most likely be depleted, so on the formation lap and outlap, I suppose they have to recharge it as much as possible before the start of the race to get an advantage

[@TheJanvicgwaps]

Whatd they mean by passing pole position?

[@jean.scuissiato]

Pass by the P1 spot. I think this has something to do with safety, in case a car stalls, so the ones coming from the back don't crash into it. Once clear the first grid position, drivers are allowed to speed up.

[@Nebaus]

Doing god's my man

[@FranciscoFJM]

Are burnouts really so important that they have their own dedicated button on the wheel?

[@OfficialAnarchyz]

That's not much. They're mostly being told how to warm up their tyres.
