Mercedes have always been certified sandbaggers while Ferrari is notorious for keeping their tifosi hyped in testing and then falling apart as the season gets underway.

YouTubbers use stock footage over and over, and mirror sometimes to eek out the copyright-free stuff. Even in professional documentaries they do it because the editor is an artist, not a technician. Even seen it when there is absolutely no need. Documentaries are about facts not artifice. It devalues all of the message completely. IMNSHO - BTW no mention of Gordon Murray - he was clever too.

@@user-yi8uu1du3b not the case here though, because even if this was real footage mirrored, the car would still go the right direction, towards us. And it's quite clear that the moving car is edited in :)

I think the most famous would be the 1996 pre-season test where backmarker team Supersport F1 rolled out a 4WD car, set 10 consecutive fastest laps and recorded the highest top speed of any car that year at 389 kph. It was amazing that no one took notice of this car, almost as it never existed.

Brawn didn't fool anybody, it was the other teams that fooled themselves as they couldn't believe they were so far behind a car that had a bodge job engine installation from a team that nearly didn't make the grid. That car topped the timesheets every day of the test though. Mercedes really were in trouble in 19, mostly due to reliability and it was only a last minute update before the start of the season to the engine that really got them going. This combined with Ferrari actually being a lot worse than their testing pace suggested had the effect of making them look like they had been sandbagging.

@joshn1678 3 ай бұрын

Yeah, people forget that with no budget cap, teams could do all sorts of stuff to catch up. Plus without the engine locked, they could also improve performance, they really need to loosen the engine regs and increase the budget cap.

@andrewcarter9649 3 ай бұрын

@@joshn1678The budget caps fine, we're already seeing the grid close up because of it, and the engines are all pretty close, with Renault being the worst and it's less than 20hp down (remember when Ferrari's V12 was 100hp down on the Renault V10 in 93, those days are long gone). Honestly, we really don't need a return to the days of $250-300mil budgets.

McLaren 2013: To fit a part upside down should never make a car faster. Analyzing that car in that year makes the conclusion that McLaren has designed the suspension wrong by using wrong inputs. It made the whole concept into a wrong direction. It was a basic design mistake. It also ruined the confidence of the designing team and on the top of that Honda came....

Ferrari, 2016: Ferrari looked to be going all guns blazing heading into the 2016, having repeatedly set the pace in their new car for that year, the SF-16 H, and appeared to be finally poised to mount a full challenge to Mercedes. That turned out not to be the case as not only did Mercedes win both titles, but Ferrari had their second winless season in 3 years. They dropped behind Red Bull to third in the Constructors Championship in 2016, with 398 points to Red Bull's 468 (which for the Milton Keynes team included 2 wins)

Gordon Murray's wheeze of allowing the dynamics of suspension to lower the car during bumping around, and a bleed valve in the overflow tank let air/oil out on the slow-down lap. Making the car legal when static long enough.
