@johannesbrunjohansson1636 Жыл бұрын

"I think a lot of fans don’t know it’s the feet where the magic happens." I know thats not real racing, but in Sim Racing, upgrading to a much better wheel base and steering wheel didn't do much for my lap times, just made the game more fun. But when I upgraded from a cheaper brake pedal to a more high quality gas/break pedal setup, my lap time very quickly went down. I was chocked how much of an impact the added brake/throttle control made to my lap times.

@saagz11 Жыл бұрын

If you don't actually drive on a track it's very hard to understand how your brake and throttle inputs actually rotate the car. You can have the same steering angle but rotate the car differently with more trail braking or more throttle input

Norris’s pedal cam also shows his pedal have some range of motion. Gasly’s pedal cam shows less travel (but probably due to driving at low speed and wet track, the camera position makes it hard to tell)

I thought it was a nice touch that you added your own captions so that people who need them wouldn't have to rely on the auto generated captions... until they were wrong that is. If the brake pedal were actually to experience a loss of force I think that would be a bad thing, certainly from an engineer's perspective.

PU potency is not so important nowadays. What really matters in the engine is the torque curve, it is where significant gains are found. A little engineering: Power = Torque x Speed. As speed (n exceeds 350km\h stagnated due to aerodynamic drag, today it is much more worthwhile to work on Torque where the limit is the tire.

I feel like they had to hold back quite a lot on this one. I know what a pedal is, but I still don't know how they work precisely or what would differentiate these from my car. Also, carbon sounds pretty good. Stiff, light, strong, ... so why the aluminium one? Also also, 100kg pressure seems really small? You hear people say that under have braking drivers will almost litterally stand on the brake. That's 70kg at 4-5G or 280-350kg of pressure. I love Mercedes, I love these videos, but this one just leaves me with more questions than I had before.

All the teams use “fly by wire” systems though. I understand the need for discretion but they didn’t actually say how ANY of it works. I know a lot of it we can glean; I’m assuming some of us know what a damper does, but they titled the video “How” it works and instead showed us “What” makes it work and left out the “how”. 😂 They could have told us the idea behind fly by wire without actually telling us how they implement it.

Very interesting the difference in makes for each pedal. understand the increased force on the brake pedal means you'd want it to be carbon fiber, but why not make the throttle out of it as well? I'd think aluminum is heavier than carbon, right? Something to do with the damper/spring setup?

Considering how stiff race car brakes are, I wonder if anyone has a wider brake so you can use both feet to step on the brake for those hard brake moments? If you ever drove some formula cars the brake moves very very little and you get used to that sensitive brake. I drove several formula cars and that was what I noticed.

Aside from mentioning that there is a damper connected to a wire and 100kg of pressure top end, they was no mention on how F1 pedals actually work. i.e: how the position of the pedal communicates with the engine, the distance of travel of the break pedal and how it communicates with the brakes etc. Just a lot of talk about how there is 'Alot going on...all very different...have to press it hard'
