look also on RPM, Mercedes hat much shorter gear ratios

You should show how Ferrari was pulling away. Not the words of Hamilton. They are not so important.

absolute nightmare

Ham took so much time getting out of the cockpit at the end of the race and then told everyone how incredibly bad his backache was.

Please FIA, nerf the other cars because our car sucks.

@@djdrastic1 And and and, Since we can't win a race anymore. Lets try again to strip Max from his 1st Championship just to make us feel like we are on top again :P ( Incoming Ham fan boys )

@@bryanlewis3913 Feels like only yesterday they proclaimed about the 'undisputed goat' the following ... "He could win in a Williams" 😂😂😂

The other cars in 2022 could definitely get closer to Red Bull's speed if they weren't wasting energy bouncing themselves to bits.

​@@nicholasbradshawunfortunately the teams know that too, and they can't do anything about it (except cry and force all teams to raise floor edge by 15mm)

@@nicholasbradshaw @Nicholas Bradshaw Ferrari probably could've but they always had to run a bit of extra wing because their car was quite hard on its tyres. Keep in mind that RBR never pushed their engines hard during 2022. Ferrari did during the first half of the season and they were still slower. RB were super fast on the straights while being extremely kind on its tyres.As a whole package the RBR was just unbeatable. That car was a masterpiece. Top speed is not everything.Teams have to find the best compromise between downforce and top speed.

Baku doesn't have a balance, at least from my perspective. The straights (plural) are obscenely long, and the corners in the middle that would have seen downforce oriented setups reign supreme are either: a) too gentle to slow down the top speed cars, b) too slow for wing setup differences to matter, or c) so tight you'd need to start the race with half a car to squeeze in. (I'm not an expert. I just know a few things about motorsports from my time playing "pretend racecar driver" on the internet.)

Not aero efficiency. The suspension geometry is the trick. There car has a clever mechanical suspension which allows them to run lower without porposing that's why the Red bull has the most amount of sparks

Bit harsh innit

@@alessandroledda6480 yes but it's the honest truth. and one where I wish W13 is made for the W series. ; P

I'm sure hammy boi loved it all 😂😂

You mean the spine crusher

@@n.n9056 you mean the once and only lumbar spondylosis incuder? why yes indeed.

Just shows that this cars are way too reliant on DRS. We need more nimble and agile cars instead of these School busses

It's also because Ocon is known to be one of the best on a wet circuit !

​@@MrSafari1998ocon destroyed Alonso in points

Yeah. Juzh123 showed Lewis's qualifying lap and Lewis was not even 300 goin through 130R. At that point i think everyone understood that Mercedes concept is very draggy.

the top 5 is too close for Alpine I can't see them near reb ferrari aston merc or Mclaren so being 6 th would already be an achievement but I guess sauber the willies and haas took that space already

@@sajeucettefoistunevaspasme yeah

back when alpine had decent engineers, livery and car

Now they're a yoke

It also killed his back 😅

Thought the same thing, In fact all the things I know I learned them from amateur pages - accounts and websites, them official pages, it's total crap and wherever you click, MF it's you gotta pay. and Indeed this is the content that can drag more fans to the discipline

Yeah, I second that. People say that McLaren lost 4th to Alpine because of DR, but I disagree. The McLaren was quite slow by the end of the season and in the races I always saw the Alpines having a pace advantage over the McLarens.

@@ryanjonathanmartin3933 Look at Lando s points and DR Points, and u can say that DR really lost it

Mike Elliott disasterclass 🔥🔥

He should have sticked with Engines lol. He is not a good aero guy.

To be fair to Mike, he had nothing to do with the car as Technical Director. When James Allison was still Technical Director in 2019 he came on Beyond the Grid and talked about how he doesn’t actually have any role as a car designer in that position, his job is just to manage people and resource.

@@totalmadnesman you’re thinking of Andy Cowell, Elliot was literally Head of Aero lol, that’s his focus

That he did, He failed the mission successfully.

this channel is godly fr

Just realized what you said

Ayo💀

I mean his car is bouncing like crazy

Mark Webber scream

bro 🗿

It does, Lewis was always gaining time through the corner exit but he starts to bleed time after just a few meters of straight. That Alpine just goes hard while the Merc is busy bouncing itself into the shadow realm.

It certainly does, but it's not the end-all, be-all

It does but on a straight as long as Baku's the impact is minimal after a few hundred meters

Their biggest issue in 2022 was aerodynamic drag, especially from the wings because they had to neuter the floor to stop the porpoising. This year they are not bad on the straights but they lack downforce, which is an even worse problem. And this stems from how difficult the setup window is for this car concept. At certain tracks they have to run very aggressive wing camber to be somewhat competitive in the corners, but at the cost of top speed. Then if they trim the wings they have a competitive top speed but they suck ass in the corners.

Yeah, I smell cheating.

@@heavensent7183 i mean they cheated in 2021 when they overspent

​@@OscarZheng50that is true

@@ALPHABYTE64 I think they just have a very aerodynamically efficient car, I don't see how they can make their car quicker in a straight line without getting caught. ferrari's mega engine got banned and the fia learned to look out for that and they cant modify their engine to make it more powerful

Should be way better this year.Merc is not RB level quick on the straights but it is actually one of the quicker cars on the straights. They just don't seem to gain much when the DRS gets actuated.

Perhaps having a slightly worse lap time is better if it makes it harder for people to overtake you.

More like both

Wdym all telemetry is always there 💀

Because they will have terrible performance in the sections without straights.

You have basically described Red Bull fans from 2014-2021. Ironic.

you misinterpreting the situation. Mercedes was drastically slower than the alpine cause of the slower car. Ferrari 2019 would completely destroy the Mercedes (who was the best car) which left Ferrari suspicious including Red bull which made the first complaint after spa 2019.

Stop talking without context

@@idontspeakspanish By the way in term of qualifying duel 1vs1 Mercedes W10 EQ Power+ is the second fastest car in history behind the W11. So dominating such a car as if it was a bottom grid journeyman raises questions. ~Also the qualifying duel between W10 and SF90 is 10-10 so they should both be ranked 2nd. But when you put each car in duel against other top 10 cars (W11, W09, RB16, RB15, SF71H, MCL35, RP20, SF1000), the W10 scores higher than the SF90 in those qualifying duels against a same opponent. Reason why i rank W10 as 2nd fastest car in history and the SF90 3rd.~

@@alexlacl8730 i mean what context do you need?

Vettel stayed within 2 seconds of Hamilton for most of the race. I'm sorry but Hamilton won that race because he was able to keep Vettel behind. His car was maybe better but only slightly.

He was talking about the top speed(with DRS) difference between the RBR and the rest. Its unprecedented. When it comes to overall pace, the 2014 and 2016 Mercs had more margin over the rest of the grid.That is a fact.

He didn't really have the fastest car in 2017, 2018 or 2021.

Sure
