The reason other teams had to use their hands were due to the drivers survival cell being homologated at the start of the season. Mclaren had designed their safety cell with a hole for the leg to activate it, other teams were not able to punch a hole in it for their leg to activate it, hence using their hands instead.

Here is the simplest explanation for the f duct .. grab a straw , put a hole in it halfway up, blow in one end and feel how much air is coming out the end. Now cover the hole in the middle and do the same and feel the result. You have just made your own f duct and a fluid switch. The hard part is balancing the sizes of intakes and outlets so your not stalling the wing without blocking the hole or on the other, blocking the whole and not stalling the wing.

Very informative video! Thanks

And here I am trying to figure out how to get more air in to my PC.

Great video, thank you. I remember it being a thing at the time but never really understood how it worked. As for my favorite band F1 car, it has to be the Brabham BT46. Gordon Murray's fan car.

Would have really appreciated a much more elementary explanation of what's happening with the f duct instead of just throwing out words like "pipery" and "fluidic switch" with no explanation and a few drawings with nice green arrows.

You know when you stick your hand over the end of the hose on a vacuum cleaner and the motor spins faster? You can use that kinda thing to switch which pipe the air flows through. And if you throw some air at a wing in the right way, it messes the whole thing up and stops moving air, less downforce = less drag.

Teams usually 'seek clarification' aka, snitching to the FIA.

Tbh I love the how teams get around the rules it’s good to watch

Ferrari had a DRS similar System in 1997. Their plan was to use it at the GP of Jerez but the FIA banned it before the were able to race it.

Great video, i remember the f-duct. It was an interesting bit of engineering at the time. The FIA had no choice but to ban this idea and regulate it through the use of DRS. The sport changed drastically with these innovations, and added to the excitement of the F1 experiance for viewers.

I don't think anything should be banned, unless it is unsafe. Part of motorsport is the difference between vehicles. If people think that all cars should follow the same rules, then just get one manufacturer to make all cars, then we can see how good the drivers really are.

The one handed driving to activate it is insane. it would have been better to have a foot switch like old school high beams...and the fact that no one thought of that kind of boggles my mind.

Lotus also tried a solution like this, a fluid switch that stalled the rear wing at a certain speed and unstalled it below a set speed (in 2013 british gp I think) but it was never raced

Interesting video! Could you guys provide a reference on the more technical side of the F-duct? Maybe with a little more technical detail? I’m curious to know what you mean by stalling decreasing drag

The f duct blew my mind for years and still does. The blown diffuser is another one that I love

one small critique.. Next time you mention multiple races in rapid succession from years past, could you maybe add "Fourth Round at X, or Round 10 at Y" for those of us that don't remember the order of every single race in seasons past?

I’ll never forget watching the Italian GP that year and seeing Jenson Button’s massive rear wing, completely out of context with the fastest GP circuit on the calendar!

Ingenious stuff. Sad it was banned. Innovation got me into F1.. I'll still watch but that aspect that inspired me seems to be being brushed away into history.

Alonso was shown in replays using his left hand to block the DRS duct. Since he had to use his right hand to adjust the break bias that left no hands on the steering wheel. The FIA realized that this was making the device too dangerous. If all the teams had used a duct activated by the left leg it would have been safer, but it wasn't practical to cram it into an existing car. The point was proven though, stalling the rear wing helped the cars pass. So rather than make the F-duct, all all the associated complex pipe work, legal it made more sense to introduce DRS instead because it was just a flap in the rear wing that did the same thing but with a greater effect and significant less development cost. Plus significantly safer. Ross Brawn later commented that the DRS flap was worth 10x times more in helping cars pass than all the aero changes they introduced in 2009 combined. He admitted that none of the brilliant aero guys involved in the 2009 changes thought of just putting a flap in the rear wing, if they had they would have saved everyone a lot of trouble.

There is this really really neat aircraft museum in Dayton Ohio, USA, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. The way they have the museum setup, you start off at the very beginning of flight and work your way to the current area. You notice small changes in airframe design. For example moving flight control cables from the outside into a protected tube, or putting aerodynamic covers over wheels, or a plate over the spokes of a rim. It seems obvious looking back, but every advancement in design makes aviation that much safer and more efficient. The point is, unless new ideas and technologies are tested, advancement is impossible.

this is what I love about F1, the constant pushing of the rules/workarounds to gain an advantage. The things they come up with are amazing, like these ducts, Renaults damper in 2006, Ferrari's 2019 engine, yes they get banned but that just allows a new trick to be created next.

F1 has to be safe for the audience as well as the drivers, so anything that makes the cars good faster and thus more dangerous has to be banned. Compromise. Make the cars go faster, put the crowd further back - 200m. All the crowd would see is coloured dots whizz past.

FIA banned it because they were afraid teams would use the forced induction of air through the duct for “other purposes”.

Doesn’t DRS do the same thing as the F-Duct?

@darkalman

4 жыл бұрын

Functionally yes, but the DRS is much better at it. Significantly cheaper, and arguably safer. The problem that led to the F-duct is F1 has a blanket rule than bans 'moveable aerodynamic devices' ie flaps in the wing. However at the time the driver was not considered as part of this rule, which is why a fluidic switch covered by the drivers leg/hand was legal. The F-duct is actually the reason they introduced DRS in the first place.

Bring it back it looks pretty handy

I seriously hope that the FIA and F1 will move towards making sure the teams don't cross the cost caps while leaving them as much wiggle room as possible as far as technical regs are concerned. I would truly love to see how the engineers tackle such a scenario and all the possible solutions

Using the driver to manipulate a static fluid switch stems from a ban on movable aerodynamic surfaces (which would include air valves used for aerodynamic purposes). DRS is the same thing, but using a moving aerodynamic surface.

Jack Danny I suppose my comment is more of a melancholy lament. In the late sixties and seventies it seemed like there were a greater percentage of teams that could be competitive without needing the financial resources of a Boeing or Microsoft (a decent example was Rob Walkers efforts). One arena is engines. Although some companies always used their own power plants many others did quite well running the Cosworth DFV (this also helped level the playing field a bit). A company didn’t need access to wind tunnels and prohibitively expensive “main frame” computers to win races. Maybe I am being naive but I feel like there was a time when the driver made the difference (as in Stirling Moss-awesome driver largely competing in sub par British vehicles, but still winning races). Now it seems to me that you can take a good (not necessarily great) driver, put him in a dominant vehicle and the race is decided before it starts. The dominant vehicles now (and in fairness this isn’t a recent phenomena) are produced by companies with virtually unlimited developmental resources (super sophisticated computer designs), basically things that some companies don’t have and ultimately are forced to leave F1 because of this. So, my observation about “computers winning races” was more of a generic comment. I could be way off base here but to illustrate my point, I would suggest you could put several different drivers in the current Mercedes and they would win races in that car. However I doubt if the opposite is true. Could a Hamilton or Schumacher win a lot of races in mediocre vehicles today? I think not. And in my opinion “computers” play a huge part in this. Maybe all this is inevitable, but at least for me it seems like a big part of the drivers contribution has been reduced significantly. Just sayin’........

The f word pun in thumbnail 😂😂

I thought it was called the F-duct because of the 2 ducts coming together into 1 like a F. Kinda funny it has the less complicated meaning of the Vodafone F.

Innovation is being creative in the way you interpret the rules. Just because the a rule says "the cars can only be black" doesn´t mean the teams can´t paint it in matte black to improve weight and by doing so, they are not doing anything illegal, just applying the rules in a different way.

Dont hate the playa', hate the game

F1 team: innovates something huge which should be celebrated Other teams: BAN IT NOW

But before "WE ARE GOING O COPY IT! AND USING OUR HANDS! ROLFMAO!" then it doesn´t work as good as the original: "BAN IT NOW!".

Cvt in a Scooter feels good.Honda silver wing For example

I’m not educated on f1 and this is definitely gonna sound stupid but why don’t they have a wing that can move to create more or less downforce in straights and corners

Ah yes. Just crusin' along on the track with one hand on the wheel, and one hand on the Fduct. Y'know...just a casual thang whilst racing.

sad that there are so many bans; if it weren't for them, f1 would be much more advanced and cooler. teams would need to adapt or die out. Also it's insane that some small vents seem to be so significant for f1! You'd think only a computer driver could make something so fine tuned work

We saw how Kubica back then was driving with one hand.

Wouldn’t a dynamic spoiler have been a way simpler solution?

My favourite banned thing is the Brabham BT46. The only F1 car to have a 100% win record, it won every race it entered.

surprised there was no mention of the s-duct
