Mercedes content is next level, clean cut and so easy to understand. All the best for this weekend in Mexico!✨
Love how they explained this in simple way for fans like me to understand downforce better. Thank you team !! All the best for Mexico, Brazil & Abu Dhabi 💪💪
These videos are so interesting and everything is explained very clearly - please make more of these! ❤
Gotta make these videos for the newcomers from DTS.
You also got behind by sticking to the zero sidepod concept, hopefully you can make it work next year, or going even next level with it, as a Max fan I would like to see competition, so good luck next year, crossing fingers for a better championship

@@hananabbey3608 I’ll go out on a limb and say that most Verstappen fans, and really most F1 fans as a whole, show massive respect to all competitors. We see a very vocal bunch of outliers online, and they skew perspective. I was just at the Mexico GP, and while the love for Sergio is obvious as it’s his home race, there was real love for many teams and drivers, too. I just wish these online trolls could be muted better.

I feel like this reworked with vertical side pods W13 was designed and shaped more for straight line speed and also to not be hit too hard with side winds as it corners. Am sure Mercedes-AMG built structures that would compensate for some loss in downforce. Great to see the car has slowly but surely greatly improved and could even beat Ferrari for 2nd in the constructors.
Great video!!
Also explore the possibility of leveraging pushing-forward-longitudinal-forces generated by /from an inverted wing located within the airbox, trailing edge down.... Plus another non-inverted, trailing edge up, just behind the rear diffusers.
I suppose the challenge for next season is keeping the down force as is but reduce drag to increase straight line speed. This is a hard problem but not unsolvable.

The obvious challenge is getting more downforce with less drag at the same time but drag is also responsible for helping slow down the car at high speed under braking. It's like trying to envision a world without friction. No friction means everything slides around indefinitely and without friction, the act of standing up on our 2 feet would be physically impossible.

How about diffusers explained video? And inlet funnel vs diffuser ratios which is more effective?
Good video

Going against Mr Newey....plenty tough.Better luck next season.
wait was this reuploaded cause i already watched this and i got another notification (not complaining just wanna know if this was reuploaded)
I have to say I'm a fan of your competition,, but I love the vids! Thank you!
Would be cool to have more content from different team members. You've got 1000 of them and we wanna know what more of them do!
more videos like this please
Explained quite articulately! Go Mercedes, keep chasing that 2022 first win. Regardless, I would love an Adu Dhabi win...
Let's just hope that we can win a race before this season is over, so that we can have some sort of a hope for next season, because this season has been kinda s**t so far frankly

I always have a good laugh when people are talking about those super complex F1 aerodynamics and how the smallest details can make a huge difference - and then you see drivers being absolutely competitive with bent or missing wing parts or damaged cars like Alonso's in Austin last weekend with damaged underfloor, a mirror breaking off, etc. 😂.
Go Mercedes! 🤜🤛
Re-upload??
. . Ai lets hit a "couple" of targets and not just one . Put a vein system within the body . Have it taper exit 'outsiDe' the body . Like a tunnel leads to light . Allow your downforce data to assist with a speculative honing path for what the arch of the tunnel should be to naturally give back the handling characteristics you want in the turns . #2. Less weight through honing . Aqueducts are timeless . #3. Quite some upgrades ago , my original thought was to find areas beneath the body of the car to scalpt ' golf ball ' like recesses to control downforce or lift depending on elliptical shapes . Just kept thinking frisbees .

Hey Mercedes f1 I am a huge fan of you guys from Pakistan , my favorite drivers are lewis and Seb . I Loved how much you guys have improved since the start of the season so hope we get the best results possible in the last races and I pray that lewis can get a win or wins the last 3 races , will be rooting for you guys from Pakistan. 🇵🇰❤️🏎️❤️🤩

Impressive…mind bending.
Question. Do teams run simulations pre race for each track understanding what the best downforce model is to be used based on the turns and altitude and wind forecasts and decide on the most optimal configuration? And since breaking patterns differ from driver to drive does this have any effect on the simulations while having different configurations for individual drivers?
@majsterV

Cars definitely comes pre race configured. I wathed video(i watched long ago), where they say cars come pre configured and setup is done around 90% before even hit particular track. They help with simulations, previous years data and probably other tools and informations. Real testing is mostly for fineses, car balance setup and for testing new parts. As for second question, i believe(i don't know for sure), they choose universal best setup from aero, drag, brake disk size, cooling and suspension point of view and later when on real track, individual driver make smaller performance changes, like brake bias to own liking.
i think it could be better with a downforce because needs better aero parts and minimum weight
So when can I book my tour around the factory looks interesting and don't forget my grandchildren 🤣
Drunk In Dallas mate hehe
Vamos Mercedes
Really Love this content, keep posting more of these Mercedes. Hope Lewis wins in Brazil❤
Why reuploaded?
This team know how to build a legal car and operate within the budget cap they are the best at that by far
I guess, this is the first time i see George without a clean shave
I live for Mercedes KZread content. Inject!
Next time do upforce
Great 1-2 today boyz!!🎉🎉
next year hopefully
Maybe I'm crazy but from the onboard camera at the side of the car of redbull, yo can see that a yellow piece behind driver's helmet is moving Up when going fast, is It an Air conduct to the floor of the car that reduces porpoising? Or is It just a meaningless detail?
One day i will work as aerodynamic engineer in HPP England...
Can’t wait to see Mercedes’ 2023 performance 🎉
❤
Ironic considering the W14 doesn't have any down force.
Im making a paper car and every car i make keeps flying up, it needs more downforce up front, it has alot of surface area to challenge me
That guy seems like he could be a decent formula one driver
Mercedes equipes ,russet e entender trabalho deles vamos frente positivos frente positivos com mercedes ama seu trabalho f1 hamilton e russel boa sorte amém fé
And with the increased windtunnel you are still seeing the Honda plate from far away
Will the Redbull penalty of less wind tunnel time, hurt their performance next year?
@moemalekafzaly
Жыл бұрын
Eh it won’t make them drop off. But it will effect them a little bit. Since they already have their aero package from this year. Ferrari and merc were angry about the punishment not being more harsh. Redbull can spend money elsewhere and put less priority on their aero since they nailed it already.
So basically when downforce was so low in mexico your car performed the best…. Hence, straight line speed >>> downforce
Welcome back to another episode of "George Russell is the type of guy Who can be both driver and teacher"
Purposing issue resolved?
I feel like this video is some kind of protest to the FIA
Déjà vu
First explain it to your employees at brackley & bricksworth
Already then time to put tons of downforce on my civic 😂

Cheeky reupload
Seeing George try& explain stuff that he’s terrible at using to deliver makes me realise how I miss Nico
Ur car's front wing is shorter than Redbull and Ferrari. So it is pulling ur car back. Check it.
I have a lot of respect for diversity , but i also have a feeling that this is the main reason why Mercedes has made it wrong this year. I hope they learned this year from mistakes and take the next car to a higher level.
Full on science 🧪!

I've never understood why there is so much talk about women in F1 when there are lots of them that do very good job in the factories and in the paddock in general. The fact that there are no women drivers yet doesn't mean that there are no women in the sport in general

Some just want them to do ANYTHING a man can do.Close to 99 per cent of men can't do it, so it's no insult if anyone else cant.
what is there to stop RedBull cheating if they have their own wind tunnel ??
Can’t believe that Mercedes are employing women to run their aero group. No wonder they are under performing. Looks like the team is now more interested in championing diversity, rather than employing the best engineers available to win Grand Prix!!
