The RB20 is just another absolute work of art by Newey. It might not even be a work of art by my normal standards - like a 90s CART car or many eras of early F1, but looking at the complete control of the air by Adrian is why I call it a work of art. It's stunning to see how 1 man is so far ahead of the rest when it comes to "seeing" air.

Well, he is the only 1 with more than 30 years of experience in the ground effect regulation and the budget cap prevents other teams to do mayor improvements when it comes to in season development. Basically this regulations where put in place to benefit only 1 team, the team that threatened the FIA to removed both of their teams from F1 if they didn't stop Merc domination.

@@damianrodriguez5233 they had a superior car during the Merc dominance as far as tire wear and grip were concerned. I'm not even a RB fan, but it was clear for most of those years that the RB cars did WAY better on tires than the Mercs. But when you have a 50-100hp advantage, and 70% of the tracks are power tracks, Merc made the right choice going all in on that engine. Toto was quoted as saying they detuned it for years to avoid being BOP'd. They had to hide how much power in hand they had and power can easily make up for aero problems. Though the W11 was probably the best car they built. And we're only 2 years into RB domination, since the first year was a split. There's 5 more to go before we get to Merc levels of dominance. They won't last that long.
@ 4:04 if Mercedes can change their suspension (basically hot swapping different settings/heights) then that's a big technical deal and very innovative.

Even if I already knew many of the secrets, I can't get enough information. Love the work, love the passion and just comment for keep the channel growing ❤ One (longer) question: What is your opinion on the RB20? I don't think it is a beautiful car but I also think it is the most impressive/scary thing I've seen since the MP4-18. I know that car never drove in a race. But man... as a Schumi Fan I did shit my pants when I saw that beast in testing. Do you think the RB20 is again a car "ahead of its time" and could it be that fast how a few engineers said? I heard rumors that the car could be up to a second faster per lap than the rest and I highly doubt that this could be the case. Even as a Max Fan I don't want a championship like last year. Best regards from Germany and all the best. Keep pushing!

Love the content as always! The comparison pictures you manage to find are really insightful. I am curious about how you come up with you analysis of the cars. It seems to me like you don't necessarily have a background in aerodynamics or engineering in general, so I would be cautious about making statements about the flows going on. F1 cars are complex, and it's not always obvious what effect something has without windtunnel or CFD data, or even photos of flowvis paint. The only reason I say this is because the stuff you're saying doesn't really line up with the opinions of qualified aerodynamicists elsewhere on youtube, such as Kyle Engineers, Scarbs on Peter Windsor's channel, or Dr Obbs on the Cameron F1 channel. I'm not trying to be negative; I love your content and I wish you every success (I am a subscriber and regular viewer), I would just be careful about saying stuff you're not certain about or qualified for, because you could mislead a lot of people.

Yeah I get it completely my friend. I watch Scarbs and Kyle and other experts before making these videos. While all of is technically unknown due to not seeing the actually airflow like the teams due we can give it a good guess. I research a lot of the topic and as I said watch the experts and try putting it in an easier way. Recently just watched something on Dr Obbs on how the suspension causes more upflow then we thought as to why the Red Bull is a even more genius design. I won’t say something I clearly don’t know hence why I waited throughly for testing to be over to make statements on the RB20

@@F1Unchained Fair enough, perhaps it's just the way you word it. I have a little experience with aerodynamics (I'm a mechanical engineer), and I've spent quite a lot of time around aero engineers. The way some things are worded just don't ring quite true. Saying stuff like "cleaner airflow to the back of the car to help with tyre wear" is something I don't think anyone else has said. Tyre wear is a complex combination of factors, and clean air to the coke bottle area might help with that indirectly, but it seems like a bit of a leap to state that as fact.

Really cool stuff going on and it’s something that I’ve always enjoyed about F1. Everyone has their own solutions and none of it is a “bolt on” solution. It’s all a concept of design which I find so fascinating. I think this year is going to be incredibly exciting for 2nd and 3rd place as well as the mid-field. I think it’s definitely closer, but as long as Alien Newey is designing cars that are dependent on good aero nobody else stands a chance.

One thing I was thinking is that halo inlet blowing energized air over the waterfall section of the sidepod will increase the air speed in the undercut beneath the sidepod, which seems to be a key area on these cars.
@F1Unchained
5 ай бұрын
My exact thinking is the suction between sidepod and undercut will increase there downforce
Those openings in the sides of the bazookas may be to induce vorticies to improve air flow over the B WIng. I can't imagine the air exiting from those holes being as fast or clean as the air over the side covers. Would love to take a peek under those covers. Maybe some other type of cooling system in there as well. Love the tech!

Little examination on Ferrari Sduct: inles is relatively big while the outlet is VERY SMALL, you can see it at 8:41 . I Suppose this creates kind of pinched hose effect speeding up the air in the lower part of the halo fins and therefore pulling the rest of the airflow. What do you think?

You said "and suspension doesn't provide a huge performance gain aerodynamically." And I think that's one side of the the equation. My understanding, and I am just a fan not an expert or a tuner in any right, is an improperly tuned or narrow windowed suspension can result in huge aerodynamic losses. So this to say suspension can either be a slight positive contributor to aero performance, neutral, or a significant limiting factor. This conclusion is just from things I've gathered in the past, especially with respect to some of the fundamentals flaws of the W13/W14. I think that's where you were going, but just wanted to engage the community a little on this. Thoughts???

EXCELLENT CONTENT as always bro. So one can only wonder why RB would change the RB19 so much. It was already a dominant car. It seems as if they were really looking for huge performance gains. Not saying it wont be, but sometimes too much change can cause problems. All teams sandbagging during testing. I think SF24 and the W15 will be closer to the RB20.

I particularly love how Mercedes involved bits of their past to the current regs, all the ingenuity is awesome to see even if Red Bull MIGHT dominate we won’t know until Saturday when the lights go out. Strong indication they will but still don’t know yet. (Hopium on maximum settings.)

To do what Merc is doing with the suspension, the teams would have to create a section of reinforced chassis to take that load instead of the one fixed point most teams are using. That is why we likely won't see any copies of that this year.
Have a look at Peter Windsors channel and Craig Scarboroughs breakdown of the chassis issues Mercedes had over the last few seasons quite surprising!. Whilst I appreciate aerodynamic innovations sometimes teams lose their way through fundamental chassis balancing issues and mechanical & suspension geometry positioning. I don't really care the amount of impact having two different types of upper control arms have on aerodynamics I'm far more happy that Mercedes have greater flexibility at difference circuits with anti dive and handling characteristics for eg!. I'm still really impressed with that Ferrari and I'd have small wager on some circuits that it will upset RB. That thing looked very impressive both on 1 lap pace as well as consistency on long runs. Of course no-one knows each teams programs and how much each were sandbagging was going on but I'm really hoping Leclerc takes a few wins this year.

@jussayinmipeece1069
5 ай бұрын
i have been saying that ever since Qatar and the FIA saying they would change the rules for driver cooling. The idea of the F duct was simple; stall the rear wing at high straight line speeds and dump air over it at low speed to make them more effective in corners. Those cannons will draw hot air up and over the rear wing at high speeds hot air is thinner and therefore provides less effect on the wing. As the speed bleeds of around corners there is likely a sort of butterfly valve inside that redirects the air allowing cooler air over the wing and the hot air towards the defuser and that would be perfectly legal since the rules only forbid EXTERNAL movable aerodynamic surfaces and says nothing about things like valves internally. Also if you take a real good look at the side just in front of the rear suspension you will see a vertical outlet that's dumping air right into that "coke bottle" So depending on the speed that will either control boundary layer air or provide a vortices control for the air spilling out from the floor preventing it from interfering with the air going toward the defuser and beam wing. And all this is because you are allowed more leeway to have inlets and outlets to cool the driver.@@F1Unchained

Aston Martin makes it's own front suspension. They prefer to take the rear suspension from Mercedes because the gearbox is provided by Mercedes and the rear geometry depends a lot on the gearbox shape too. This is also a reason why Williams has stuck to the old rear suspension, because they are using the old gearbox setup too. As far as I know, McLaren and Sauber are the only customer teams that make their own rear suspension. Sauber went even further by making their own gearbox casing so they can have their own rear geometry.

Hold your horses, Adrian Newey is a genius but tone it down. This is not the Mercedes zero-pod design, the inlet is more reminiscent of the 2023 Ferrari S duct, the shoulders were a design feature of the W14 but a little bit different. Furthermore, the rumored zero-sidepod design for the RB20 would need a total rearrangement in the inner sidepods. It looks like RB is look for a different solution but credit to the Redbull aerodynamics team for that.
