Yes, and he basically mentioned that. Something to the effect of "it's not like they HAD to build the whole track around a hotel". As you say that wasn't something that was a consequence of the way it was laid out, it was the plan right from the start.

Then again its you we're talking about, sooooo, yeah.

Same. Just hope people don't cry about trying to pass at the new 220KPH turn at Albert Park. OOOH you can't pass at that turn! That's not allowed. It's too fast!

What about the extra forces and heat it's going to put through the tyres? It's asking a lot of Pirelli

@@howdareyou41 FIA response: *Isn't this what you !@#$ing wanted?!*

Do you think Nascar started out as track races and over time improved their tracks this way and "flowed" out all the corners until they were left with a donut?

@@bilalsaloojee532 No lol, most tracks both in the US and around the world started out as fast flowing tracks with a lot of straights and fast flowing corners. European tracks diverged from this in the 70s and started adding chicanes and more heavy braking zones to suit open wheel cars. Stock cars don't need that stuff and still kept on going with ovals

@@altpersonas I love how seriously you took this lmao, I was being half silly when I made that comment 🤣 but I love the explanation still 😁

Driver61 did a couple of videos on driving styles (Senna, Schumacher, Alonso and Verstappen I think). Of course out of that 4 only 2 are currently driving in f1

@@lukababilodze4283 I think as a driver, he was more able to read the differences better. I would definitely love someone doing a number of videos like that though. Hearing something like Karun Chandhok talking about George Russell's driving style during his laps at Silverstone and Austria during qualifying really made me think about the possibilities of someone doing a deep dive on styles. I think we could get a good combo rn out of Hamilton, Verstappen, Bottas, Leclerc, Vettel, Alonso, Norris, Gasly, Ricciardo, and Russell

@@lukababilodze4283 yeah ive seen them. He's done one on Hamilton as well but the Alonso seems very outdated because it was explaining his driving style at Renault and not what he's currently like

Peter Windsor has some great, analytical insights into the driver's different styles.

There are SOOOOO many content creators I watch who are moving or have moved to Nebula. Mix that with Curiosity Stream and that $15/yr is looking like a steal.

@@AmokCanuck Interlagos

It's so much fun. I hope you give it a try

You’re in the best season to start. It’s been drama filled has had tight racing and the championship is going to the wire (for now).

I was where you are now in octobre 2019... Absolute F1 superfan now lol Just take the leap, it's worth it

If you have Netflix, I would recommend u watch drive to survive. It's a show that tells u the story of each season and the struggles the teams and drivers faced and the politics behind f1! Basically it starts from 2018 until 2020 with each season of the show corresponding to a year in f1 (and hopefully it continues on!) I watched it during the last two weeks and it made f1 so much fun and exciting and actually care for the teams

Yeah give it a go. For start watch drive to survive on Netflix to get recent-history facts about it and I could also recommend to watch the race highlights of this season on f1 KZfaq channel. At the end of the month it will start again at Belgium so make sure u don’t miss it!

They are pretty similar, aren't they? Some of those corners are nearly identical.

Some quality racing in Marina at last!

@@Dat-Mudkip Only then overshadowed by last lap controversy.

Old tracks are just superior and it looks like designers finaly notice it. Time to get rid of damn tilke

same for old Hockenheim. My favorite track

Hard braking zones are not going anywhere anytime soon

@@iamlarsen7896 They removed almost half of them in australia though....

@@fixer10091994 they removed them with the goal of making the ones that did remain even harder

Well, after some 70 years of F1 racing (and a bunch of boring Tilke circuits) we've finally realized that hard braking zones are "pointless" unless preceded by a straight or fast combination of corners. The problem is that multiple (more than 2) slow corners in succession will make the racing less exciting (read: pedestrian).

I loved Sepang for that reason, and Shanghai, too.

Yeah I've always enjoyed racing at Yas Marina. It's a fun track to drive in sim racing because the effects of dirty air isn't as pronounced. But IRL it is unfortunately a boring circuit to watch an F1 race at

But the change was important to improve the racing there

prewar?

@@grjz1e746 grand prix already exists from 1930s if i'm not mistaken. But the series we knew today starts in 1950

@@ilham7345 Since 1906 I believe, when the French ran the first Grand Prix. Pre-war (30s) there actually was a European championship

That’s it, we’re going back to Avus. Only DRS overtakes, redlining cars, and anti-Michelin banked turns. Simply, simply lovely.

@@skurd721 Rear wing on the avus would be too small for DRS, finally

@@lukewalker3905 You're pleasant aren't you

@@lukewalker3905 btw i'm in the middle of designing another logo i can't think of anything else to use so for now i'll now this logo

@@joshuakj1245 nothing wrong with using the F1 logo

Going around the outside is still possible to overtake if your faster. Widening the corner makes it more possible because you can run wide more.

Also the faster car on the outside is less likely to be taken out, by the defending driver outbraking and understeering into them, because some of the corners are off camber on the inside.

Youre not missing anything

Yeah, more than side by side action I was thinking more along the lines "what one of the cars is following the other ?". It makes perfect sense. And in a way I think it's good we won't have Australia 2021. We'll see in Abu Dhabi I guess.

Well, if the FIA has done their job, the 2022 spec cars won't suffer from dirty air and everything will be fine. So yeah, it's probably going to suck.

If it's F1 related let's hear it.

@@nucleardrifting3864 for example Aston put up a video with Seb showing off the drivers safety gear

@@coletrickIe * laughs in assetto corsa *

i remember in 2012 when DRS could be activated anywhere in the lap during quali and free practice. drivers activated it down 130R in suzuka

@@KHRrocks didn't Seb run the whole Suzuka with drs open apart from a few corners?

Let's not undo the safety that's saved a lot of drivers lives, now. But real talk. The actual reason tracks of old were so unique and so varied, is because back then you had whatever land you could get your hands on. If you have an area with massive undulations, rises and awkward banking then you make do with what you have; moving the earth to such an extensive degree was difficult and prohibitively expensive back then. I'll list a few examples. Laguna Seca's corkscrew is an infamous example of this; flatten it out and it is little more than a sharp, near-90 degree corner. Seriously, look it up on whatever map program you use - on paper, there is nothing impressive about the corkscrew. Add a massive elevation change that also messes with the camber, and you have a recipe for one of the most famous turns in racing. Let's go to Europe. Spa-Francorchamps. That infamous hill, flattened out, is basically a kink. Many of Spa's turns would be rather generic, except the track has a lot of elevation and camber changes caused because the track was built around the countryside. Another example - Mount Panorama. Most of those turns are boring and generic, it is the unsettling nature of the elevation changes that makes them so much more entertaining to watch. Watkins Glen and Sear's Point (or whatever it's been renamed to) are both well-liked tracks, and both tracks are hilly with elevation changes, unusual cambers as a result and pose a challenge to making a decent setup. Modern tracks were made with modern machinery, and we can shape the earth into almost any shape we want. So what do we do? We flatten EVERYTHING. It's a big part of the reason the Circuit of the Americas moved so much earth to make its uphill/downhill section. It was aiming for something interesting. If we want to see more interesting tracks, then we should start looking for those chunks of land where the circumstances are not ideal for a racetrack, where cars are operating outside, not inside, their comfort zones. I doubt there is a modern race car in existence that inspires confidence during a high-speed run of the corkscrew, or is perfectly balanced going down the Big Dipper of Mount Panorama. Take any classic track, flatten it out, and it becomes a much less interesting race all of a sudden.

@@XandreUK Finally somebody gets it.

As soon as I saw it I scrolled down the comments to see who else had seen it.

I see a razor, but each to their own

Was coming on here to say that. But yeah, 58 laps would be 303.39km.

right! won't it make the corners faster = shorter breaking ?

@@matungamusic Yeah my thoughts exactly.

As someone who's driven the old layout of Spain in GTR2, I can agree with this. The last two corners were a challenge with the gravel traps and grass runoffs; but now, with more tarmac runoff, I feel the chicane is a bit redundant now.

hopefully soon...

just thinking that
