Sometimes I can't believe the split turbo setup wasn't. Because we will be entering the split turbo era (I think). Red bull has already made the jump somehow amidst the loss of an engine manufacturer. Both red bull and Mercedes are running other methods to make the air denser as well, giving each a boost in power beyond other teams' limits. I would be willing to bet we begin to see more as well seeing as it hasn't been banned. I also find it Quite genius, pulling out more HP where none previously existed.

The F1 Cara of today minimise driver input almost to the point of being a passenger. The electronic aids are astonishing, but take all the fun out of spectating. The F1 of the 1990s was the most exciting racing I've ever seen in F1, when drivers had NOTHING except a steering wheel, a racing harness, a gearstick and three pedals. Drivers DROVE in the 90s!

It's funny to me how being able to keep both hands on the wheel was not the impetus for paddle shifters but it was just about aerodynamics. That's just so Formula 1.

growlingbehemoth pretty much every system which could conceivably get out of hand will have a kill switch. Plumbing, electrical, production lines, computers programmes. You name if you can lose control of it, there will be a kill switch. Is a home unsafe because it has circuit breakers? Is it unsafe if it can be disconnected from the water mains? No. It just means if an appliance shorts, or a pipe is broken, there is a way to stop it before a catastrophe. Similarly, these cars are very complex and have multiple failsafes. You can always pull the clutch and brake, but what if you’ve lost your clutch. That’s alright you can just shift put it in neutral, nope, something is very wrong. Well nothing beats a kill switch. Incorruptible, easy to engineer to be robust and reliable. Simple, effective, safety. Having a kill switch is not an indication that something is unsafe or dangerous. It would be much more concerning if it didn’t have one.

It was an obvious cheat, and they were also obviously proud of it, and not at all trying to hide it.

The reason for a the Ferrari 640’s reliability issues was down to the fundamental design of the engine. The engineers decided to use five main bearings for the crank, rather than six. This left the v12 with an incurable harmonic vibration that would shake the drive belt off the alternator, and hence losing power to the electrics, and therefore the electronic gearbox wouldn’t select gears!

The art of politics is to deceive the gullible into thinking you have their interests in mind and, by taking on responsibilities that only the individual can smartly administer, pretend to provide "services".

I saw Denny Hulme a couple of times in the 70’s section . One hell of a driver totally underrated. He had a few minor prangs but survived without serious injury from 1966 to 1973 in Formula 1 at McLaren.

Love your work keep it up!

Very interesting. Also it is important to note that as of the past years, the steering complex is customized for each driver within a team, and every aspect may be different for each of the two drivers, beginning with the shape and structure of the "wheel" itself, formed exactly for a driver's hands, and arms, and the layout of buttons and switches may vary significantly from driver to driver. So, Hamilton's wheel is very different from Bottas' wheel.

You gotta do a video on electronics, Software, data logging and analysis and development techniques like kinematics, fine element analysis. Specifically their evolution

It's amazing how they are able to focus on driving with all the button pushing and knob twisting they do.
