I enjoy hearing Scarbs input on F1 on your channel Peter. The toughest part is when I turn up the volume for Scarbs low audio then it ends directly into the LOUD outro and blows my ears out.

Love your content Peter. Not just with Cameron F1, but also with Scarbs and his technical insights. Just wanna say, that outro just about burst my eardrum. 🙉 Keep up the amazing work!

Peter and Scarbs the F1 Dynamics Duo🏁‼️

Maybe these two suspension parts for Merc are the max and min, and by testing these two they can develop parts in between the max and min as well. Or maybe the final design will be modular and even extremely adjustable.

Isnt barhain rear limited?

That outro with headphones on is a shock 😂

I thought the 'anti drive' component was connected to a 'bolt in' section on the chassis so actually Merc can try a whole bunch of different geometry's just by changing the 'bolt in' section

I think you're referring to the push rod. The upper and lower wish bones are what actually provide the so called anti dive effect. So changing where they connect to the wheel hub is not common

Again, there was not one word mentioned about Aston-Martin. I for one would really like to hear something/anything about whatever progress they've made on their car.

Unfortunately it looks like they've made little to no progress. I'm quite disappointed by what I've seen so far.

The actual shape of the control arm doesn't make a difference to geometry. It's just the distance between the bushings and where they mount on the upright/chassis. All "bending" a control arm would do is effectively shorten the distance between the bushings. So the comment scarbs made about that is a bit misleading. You would raise the attachment point on the chassis to increase anti-dive.

I don’t know what, if anything, the Mercedes suspension thing is worth but definitely seems like a cool idea. They might not be winning but they are still a clever team.

Please, please, tell Scarbs to get a better microphone or headset!!!

aero under heavy breaking and keeping the cg more stable. Track dependent for sure. They had to notice the tracks where red bull struggled and let’s see if they can at least be competitive there. I’m personally accepting Red Bull dominance but put up a proper fight for a win here and there hoping the RB has similar issues. But that new RB just looks the part so probably another fight for second.

If they want to start the race from the pit lane or back of the grid, yeah sure.

Scarbs needs his own channel

I see anti-dive as being a huge advantage in Montreal where the straight leading to the "Wall of Champions" chicane is both bumpy (a soft setup helps) and leads to one of the hardest breaking areas of the season. Monza is another one...

Could it be that HAAS performance under its operating model, is a key reason that Andretti Racing are being stifled in their efforts to join f1? I agree that the principle issue is probably how revenues are shared. However the 'HAAS model' is perhaps better suited to the US 'open wheel' circuit than F1. Andretti perhaps need to develop their own production and development facilities in order to demonstrate their commitment to a 'development class' competition as opposed to a 'class rule' series that they are used to. F1 is a 'step up' from traditional US race series, you can't just buy it and adapt it, you really have to design it and make it yourselves - not a simple transition.

@pauls5745

Yeah, Haas can probably make a go in F2 or even sell 35% to Andretti or Penske

Thank you. In depth. What a pleasure. Allowing only three official days of testing will even in Africa be frowned upon as ludacrously stupid!

I don't know, RB just may be the sandbagger this time around - Max may (hopefully not) run away with it all again without breaking a sweat

Hopefully Scarbs is right and the pack is tight

It will be a season where there is more driver rankings than team rankings. I'll see Max, Charles, Lando, Checo, Fernando, Lewis, Carlos, Oscar, George in this order! Then there will be sometimes a Daniel, Pierre, Esteban and Alex pop up in the points. The rest will be backmarkers.

When is scarbs going to set up his own channel?

Again Scarb is no race car engineer and a lot of the things he says is just his own guesses. Williams themself says "James Vowles explains why Williams runs the old Merc rear suspension: "It allowed us to start development four months earlier. Wind tunnel runs began in April. That's worth more in laptime than the latest spec parts."

scarbs, just remember williams are using last years chassis as both their chassis failed, so they’ve had to plaster old chassis onto new floor

Hungary! Heavy braking + slow circuit = soft setup ... right?

Scarb's comment on the performance volatility of the mid-field brings to mind a problem I've had for a few seasons with the current points structure. With how close 2/3 of the field are, only giving points to half the field feels a bit unfit for purpose. This isn't a "participation trophy" argument more feeling that the purpose in awarding points is to easily rank relative performance throughout the season and the current system doesn't seem to do a particularly good job of that. For example (and this is coming from a Williams fan), Alpha Tauri absolutely should have placed 7th in the Constructors' points last year as they had a better average finishing position. I know F1 is supposed to reward excellence, but it seems to me like the current system rewards luck a bit more...

@lightfeather9953

3 ай бұрын

True on the luck point, but I'd care more about the upper end of the standings when designing a points system. Nascar had a points system like you suggest, and champions would be determined by the least DNFs instead of the best results. Blow an engine or get wrecked on lap 50 after winning 3 races and you'll be 6th in the points. Thinking of Labonte in 96 or kenseth

@Ruylopez778

3 ай бұрын

Yeah, when you think about it, F1 cars are far more reliable in this era than the past. It would sort of make sense to give points for every car that finishes, but obviously heavily weighted towards the top positions. I wonder if it's possible to make the championships more open by changing the points system - especially seeing as so many fans are fixated on the championship battles as opposed to just the racing battles on track. The argument was always that the win should be significantly more points to encourage drivers to battle rather than settle for podiums. I wonder if this really makes sense. I suppose some would consider it unfair if a driver/team had many more wins than second position in the standings, but one DNF put them level. Maybe we need to go back to the old system of counting the 'best' results of the season, instead of every race.

@phonebem

@@lightfeather9953 I'd have no problems with weighting the points toward rewarding wins. Just throwing ideas out; but maybe bumping first to 30 pts, 23 for 2nd, 20 for 3rd, 18 for 4th, 16 for 5th, 14 for 6th then decreasing one point for each place down to 1 for 19th. You'd keep the 7 pt bonus for the win plus a bit of a premium for the top 5 while still giving a way to differentiate an 11th place finish from 20th unlike now. As I said I'm just throwing the idea out there, I was mainly just seeing if I was maybe the only one who sees a bit of a flaw in the current system.

I think if ferrari, mc laren, mercedes and Alonso are just a bit closer to redbull, the constructor championship will be intense because checo will struggle to keep up with those drivers

Guys.....please treat yourselves to some decent mics 🙈

Max was just cruising around.

Peter like you suggested McLaren should sell Piastry services to Mercedes and bring back Carlos Sainz back and drive again beside Norris full circle What do you think can happen??? Cheers 👍

I think you need to understand that F1 is a constructors series and a dominant car has delivered drivers championships to exceptional pilots like Schumacher, Vettel, Hamilton and now Verstappen who are able to extract more out of the car over a season than their team mates. The gap between Max and Checo is particularly wide but seeing Perez finish second in the 2023 season in front of drivers like Hamilton and Alonso somewhat proves the point about the dominance of the RB19.

@Ruylopez778

3 ай бұрын

I think Checo is making the 2nd Red Bull look much worse than it is and depriving us of a teammate battle for the championship. But Verstappen's consistency, even when facing grid penalties and SC interrupting strategy has been impressive. The race pace of the Red Bull (and tyre wear) is clearly ahead of most teams at most circuits. The only problem is when they get the setup wrong.

As an old guy from an old time I often regress, they did this because they did that because I did not really have a clue it is just conjecture, careful now boys its not politics it is racing and like me the finish line gets closer every day.

Lil Lewie never ran on same times SUPER MAX ran as the lil Narcissist twit dod not want to be destroyed. But it's coming. Max going to win by 25 seconds next weekend. Ta.

I'm feeling increasingly optimistic that we'll get to see Lewis earn his 9th. this year. Red Bull appear superficially strong, but the issues with horner reveal that below the surface they are collapsing. Even if their 2024 car is by far the fastest of the field, I question if Verstappen can handle the internal turbulence without entering an irrecoverable mental tailspin that will allow Lewis to secure the WDC by consistently outscoring him and making fewer mistakes and rash decisions. Lewis is a master of these situations, and his strategic affinity and experience from multiple hard fought championships puts him at slightly superior odds against Verstappen in 2024, even accounting for the car disadvantage.
