Sounds very complex to operate, props to them. Regarding aging. David has perfectly anatomically developed lower 2/3 of the face. Proper breastfeeding, good posture etc which results in wide airways, developed maxilla/mandible, great eye support, "not a huge nose" (because maxilla is protruding forward). That’s why his eyes don’t look tired, great bone eye support. If you look at the gentleman on the left (mind you, they have like 15 year difference), starting from neck posture, nose, eyes and overall facial structure … no eye creams will give you the "non tired" look aka bags under eyes. Search Mike Mew (if your interested if not yourself development but at least your kids health, posture, facial development).

It's only in business where being an idiot and using people is where you succeed.

Yeah you can’t fake skill. And you don’t become good at something without knowing what you’re working with.

Mazepin intelligent 😅😂

@trialsted: Wait until you get your first job and talk to an actual engineer...You'll wet your hello kitty panty.

@@knuckles7410 I am an engineer, which is why I'm impressed

Totally, thats still my favorite duo in F1 Mika and DC!

Indeed.

I wish someone made a car that would use all the banned tech. CVT, active suspension, fan, 6 wheels etc. just to see how quick it would be.

@@TeKaMOTO that's basically the problem of modern F1... and with "modern" I mean from 2000s on at least (but we could also include the 90s, definitely). Of course, every year, there is always a backdoor or a loose requirement somewhere but designers definitely cannot go "full throttle"

Rb with blown diffuser had the throttle body 100% open all the time, so the cvt wont do any difference. They controlled the torque with the ignition retardation only, hence the sound under braking

Yup. I was going to say the same thing. It’s really cool to see that something like that was made and run in a f1 car. Personally, I think innovation and the latest technology should be used in F1.

A cutting brake like on a tractor, just with a fancy switch and such instead of a separate pedal for each wheel

@ukwan: I know you tried to sound smart but it has nothing to do with "torque vectoring" since braking doesn't act on torque but it's output on the wheels. You can't be that sloppy and call a brake pedal "torque control". That's not how it works.

@@knuckles7410 just to let you know: there are numerous cars that you can buy that have what is referred to as “brake bias torque vectoring” which is the system that uses the brakes to shift torque around to the wheels that need it most for optimal handling performance. So this would, in fact be “manually operated torque vectoring”. Do us a favor and know what you’re talking about next time. And if you don’t think I’m correct, Google it yourself.

@@theranter you're not wrong. my fuckin mazda cx30 has brake assisted all wheel drive just like you say. whenever the computer detects excessive wheel spin, the brakes lock that wheel and the power gets sent through the diff to the other wheels that aren't spinning.

It's amazing to me that the further development of the technology of a DAF33 could be used to make an F1 car faster.

The interesting thing is, that the amount of power you can transmit even over a metal belt is also limited because you need absurdly high hydraulic pressure to keep the two metal cone-shaped plates (the cone shape Coulthard describes here) pressed together so the belt stays at the right diameter when transmitting high torque. You can kinda circumvent this problem by using a concept known as "power splitting" and transmitting only half of the mechanical power from the motor over the cvt part. You then combine the the cvt-path with the regular path directly from the Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) using a planetary gear set. This way you can vary the speed your car is going without changing ICE rotation but you are not that limited anymore by your hydraulic pressures in your cvt. Would be interesting to see these kind of transmissions more often and i am quite curios why these kind of transmissions were baned by the fia.

​@philiptownsend4026 back in the day the Daf 33 could out drag a Cortina 2000E up to about 45 mph. If the Cortina driver muffed a gear change the Daf could stay ahead. 😂

@@brodiewolstenholme3086 the daf could even win it in reverse 😉😁

Hell, off-roaders have been doing this forever with open diff vehicles - you ride the brake while you're on the gas so you can send power back to the wheel with traction via the brakes balancing the load on the diff, lol. Frankly, the F1 car's second brake pedal is just a fancy version of a cutting brake, like found on tractors or sand rails and such.

Well done 👏🙄

Bless the algorithm!

No joke

i’ve been wondering this

Because there is so much racing content nowadays that people can't keep up. 🤦

I only came across it yesterday, 2 years after having been posted and thought the same thing

Because not many have seen it

What a prick!!!! Scott does brilliant content that you'd appreciate if you were a driver or a motorsports lover. Keep up the good work Scott 👍🏻💪

Yeah, doesn't seem plausible that the FIA didn't know this for at least an entire season.

@@macocouy Seems the usual FIA MO really... They know and authorize it. Then some teams protest and they suddenly they decide to ban it. It happened with Lotus for 2012 season after a Ferrari protest. Happened with Mercedes with the FRIC system in 2018, also after a Ferrari protest. And so many others. All of these were known by the FIA and given the green light as legal. Until a team protests, usually with "new evidence" and then the FIA bans it. The Lotus case was a bit much because Lotus was allowed to build and test the system in pre-season and like two weeks before the season starts they ban it, leaving Lotus with their pants down with a car that was made to work with that system.

Till today most tractors have two connectable brake pedals. It's used to make faster and tighter turns in the field.

It would be interesting to watch and that’s the exact thing F1 is trying to prevent. They want more money for less performance. Fuck em

Kind of what Porsche did to send off the 919. Did all the things they couldn't do in competition and the thing slapped.

My guess would be that it was because Ferrari hadn't thought of it first. (Kidding)

They’re very funny about driver aids. The cars are surprisingly both very high tech, but very low tech at the same time. ABS is banned, as is traction control, and as is fully automatic gearboxes like the CVT. They want more focus on driver involvement and skill, which in turn lets us see greater performance differences between drivers.

CVT would have killed F1. Imagine the sound of an engine that never accelerates, similar to many diesel-electric trains or a little scooters. The monotonous monotone was just awful and destroyed any sense of speed or excitement.

It probably would have caused a big spending war to get them to work reliably for a whole grand prix. Cvts in road cars are still less reliable than a standard or automatic gearbox

@@gnarkiller CVT’s are extremely cheap, and super efficient on low capacity engines but their efficiencies drop off significantly with larger powers to deal with. On a “twist and go” scooter, it’s a small clutch, two roller wheels and a rubber band belt. The whole gearbox can effectively be replaced as a routine service item if necessary. What gearboxes do Go Karts run? Are they manual gears?

Can they ban something without a protest? I mean something that's not an obvious rule breaker?

Yeah, it was - Darren took the pic, not Foxy. David's mistake.

Yes, even my 4x4 Fiat Panda has it on both axles. Works too when it snows here 400m up in Slovakia.

correct

DH took the picture after noticing the brakes glowing in acceleration areas. Mika’s car Finally broke down beside him & he shoved the camera into the cockpit. Ron Dennis thought the picture was taken in the pits & from then on banned all photographers from the garage (unless they were McLaren photographers)!

@@markcapilitan3484, wasnt that the period when they started with all the screens in the pit?

@@pcdispatch I think the screens came later. First at testing, then at races, then Bernie banned them at races but they had them at testing (the period of unlimited testing) not sure when they got banned from then (I had left the sport by then!).

That’s the famous photo. It’s mika’s pedalbox. Coulthards would be different with a smaller brake pedal.

🙋‍♂️

This is probably why it was banned

I won the Welsh Minicross Championship at Pembrey. Wide open space airfield track, difficult to know where we were on circuit - no trackside reference points.

Many modern CVT cars actually fake gear shifts so that people don’t feel weird about it. Mom used to have one. Normally it seemed like any other automatic car but if you floored it the rpm stayed at the red line all the way.

Ye just what dc says ! Moron

DC did call it a fiddle brake

Yes but as DC said if it makes the car faster then you learn to use it pretty quickly. These are the best drivers in the world remember.

@@philiptownsend4026 Rally drivers and bike riders have a;ways been better maybe back then they were the best but now days it seems who's parents are the wealthiest.

The FIA did know. Their technical scrutineers had been looking at it for over a year.
