the faster they go the more downforce they produce so if the tyres are not worn they could weave near top speed if they wanted to

The way they produce F1 nowadays gives you basically no sense of speed. Sadly it's all about making the ads on the cars as visible as possible. If you want a good sense of the speed difference between everything from road cars to F1 then search on KZbin something like "cars F1 comparison Eau Rouge". The speed difference is really crazy and basically all cars looks standing still or they are out just on a Sunday cruise in comparison to F1. Really good watch for a few minutes.

@@MainInternetUser Yeh being there its pretty loud. Loud for a car. But its only kinda like a "hhhhhhhhhhh" sound. Not the old screeching wich we grew up with. But thats fine imo.

[@Vousie]

I disagree. The safety car sounds like it's backfiring every time the driver takes his foot off the accelerator, and it kinda sounds rough when accelerating. With F1 cars, yes it's a bit high pitched, but it's much smoother - it just sounds more well-engineered. (And the pinned WW11 vs RB19 shows that the WW11 doesn't even have that high pitched sound, so even better.) I actually heard that with a lot of fast road cars (perhaps including this Aston), the manufacturer spends a lot of time making sure it sounds "good" even if doing that makes it less efficient...

[@LewisHamiltonMSPR]

@@Vousie Perhaps it's all just a matter of tastes. Noisiness doesn't necessarily equate to a lack of engineering perfection. On downshifts I would rather hear pops, crackles and bangs than the short fart sounds many modern road cars make nowadays, and on acceleration I'd rather hear a throaty growl or scream from a car than the current "brrrr" sounds we get. Remembering back around 15 years ago, I'd say F1 cars had more character when they where using blown diffusers and were firing off like a machine gun in the braking zones, but that was also fully to do with getting the most out of the car. When F1 switched to 1.6L engines in 2014, a decision to go with inline 4 cylinders would have probably satisfied the audiences more, as the current V6 don't give the impression they're working particularly hard and have a monotonous tone, where as i4s sound like they're on the edge and can achieve a variety of sounds. Then you have Top Fuel Dragsters, cars and engines that operate at the limit of physics, sounding thunderous at idle with it's firing order, then like it's ripping the atmosphere apart when at 8-9k rpm.

More to do with the tires IMO. Sure the brakes are good, they have to be, but they are only as good as what the tires can allow. Tires are the limiting factor. And if you want to give braking force a BHP number to it, its pretty easy to guesstimate. Compared to the 1000 or so BHP of the power unit, brakes produce anywhere between 3-5000 BHP as they can slow the car down so much faster than what the engine takes to get the car to top speed. Compared to the brakes, the power unit is pretty weak.

It even mentions in the video that its purpose is also to allow the drivers to keep their tyres and brakes at a hot enough temperature. Whether Hamilton is at the front or not he's still doing the same speed behind the safety car, it's just whether FOM choose to broadcast it or not.
