If you're ever feeling useless, just remember that f1 wet tires get brought to every race...

Also what has too be mentioned is the night time and light settings this is a extra factor for the drivers.. Because seeing a dry line is much harder when the light is reflecting on the track!

For those that will never pilot a single seater and who REALLY want to know what it's like at a fraction of the performance levels get your butt into a tandem F1/Indy car. I've always loved F1 and Indy. Hit the track in regular cars. Spend almost 20 years on high performance bikes but one day back in 08 after just joining the military I worked a military booth at the LBGP (I also happened to pretty much live IN the circuit every year for 10 years) They asked if I wanted to go around the track a few times. This was before they opened. Oh yea. Let's do this. Away we went in the 2 seater. I was used to speed so that really didn't do much for me. On the third lap the world changed. Still no big deal with the raw speed. Bikes have done away with tunnel vision. The turns were another matter. WOW. Ok. Those are some good Gs. It was the brakes.. Like hitting a freaking tree! I could feel my face leaving my skull while looking at me knees. YOU OK? YEA!! How fast can you go without getting in trouble? He said nothing. We went down the straight SIGNIFICANTLY faster. What have I just done? Then my right eye was in my left socket and my left eye was in my ear. My neck filed for divorce on the 3rd turn. Instead of a tree we used a solid rock wall to slow down. The level of grip is INSANE! There is no street equivalent. I can still feel those braking G forces to this very day and we were still below real race speeds. If you get the chance to drive or ride at that level TAKE IT. The fact these guys can race like they do in the rain is just crazy. The grip and downforce are just otherworldly.

Love how a number of people were doubting Checo and then he pulled a masterclass of a drive in Singapore GP.

You should do a step by step breakdown on crucial corners of the weekend. I love the detail and education you're providing.

Don't EVER forget how amazing Rubens Barrichello was in the rain! He was a master!

I love it how you did not clickbait and explained why F1 cars are driving 400 kph on average in wet conditions!

I've noticed that it seems quite common to talk about the track having more grip on the outside karting line, this is not as significant as the physics itself. I get that there's a bit more grip on the wider line but no-one ever talks about the actual change of direction physics involved in steering wheel angle. The steering wheel angle is a lot less when taking a wide entry and exit out of a corner. Keeping the wheels as much in line as possible is vital in the wet. The apex is not your friend in the wet because the steering angle is more than taking a wider line with a larger radius. Also braking into a wider radius line into a corner allows to brake deeper into the corner due to a smaller steering angle. Everyone knows that the lesser steering angle the better under braking. The less steering angle in the wet the faster you go.

I'm already applying the knowledge from last episode in my sim racing, after adjusting my driving style, lap time went up a lot, and here we got another episode on detailed wet driving, no doubt this will boost my confidence next time I encounter wet tracks.

Yo this Established Titles thing is a scam dude, don't endorse them

Amzing driving in the wet and no doubt the tyres, driving style, concentration levels and many other things come into play but one bug question i have is how do the drivers even see where they are going in all that spray. Its incredible the amount of water that is kicked back by the car in front. We have all driven in the rain and know how hard it is to see even with wipers on full so how do they do it with no wipers? I know they have tear off visors but seriously even tearing one off every few seconds your still blinded by the spray for sure. Amazing. Would love to know how they cope with visibility in those conditions if anyone has any in sight.

Excellent video, learned a lot!

My first time on a wet circuit was Mont Tremblant in Canada in F2000. At first, all I saw was a few drops on the shield, but accelerating out of the esses, and around it went. The session started dry, got into mixed conditions, and I never recovered my lap times. We all can't be Senna.

You single-handedly made me love this sport 100000% more after the past few months. I’m from Texas. I’m a huge nascar fan. Been one since ‘97. I’ve known about F1 for about as long but only really got into it for about 5 years. Besides European Football, more specifically the Premiere Series….F1 is my religion.

Drove in the wet on a track first time recently. What I learned. 1. Rain line is wherever there is grip. 2. Rain line changes on the same turn from lap to lap. 3. Rain with falling temps is terrible, even if it’s still 10+ deg C+ (40+ deg F) which is still within the tyre’s ambient operating temp. 4. Softer is easier to drive confidently, and conversely, stiffer is less mistake tolerant. 5. Hated it. Thought I’d get the technique and be able to manage but never quite adjusted.

Lol I remember racing karts in the 90s on slicks in the wet as slicks were the only tyre we was allowed to use in any condition

CAn you do a videoon why Stroll is really effective in the wet but less so in the dry?

971k!! fantastic! so happy to see you hit 1M soon! 👏👏👏

I always like to think that rain racing is like racing on dirt ovals. This is because in dirt, the track is constantly changing every lap, meaning that the line changes also. Typically, they start low, and the move high because that's where the most dirt is towards the end of the race. It's almost the same in f1. All the rain washes the rubber towards the outside of the corner. It's basically the opposite of what dirt racers do.

Hey Scott. How appropriate is this video as this Sunday the weather forecast for the Bathurst 1000 is wet weather. Qualifying has already been conducted in heavy rain with a spectacular track run off when Lowndes was at the wheel.

Scott's catchphrase is definitely "let me explain" 😄

Established Titles is a scam. Vet your sponsors better

Can we analyze Verstappen in Brazil 2016?

You are a very good videographer.👌🏻❤

That’s when you see the greatest of Airton Senna. He was a lot faster than anyone in the wet. He understood a lot more what was going on with the car and grip.

Can you do a video on how Checo is so effective in street circuits and wet and both combined a level above

Thanks

I'm not completely sure but I think part of the reason Singapore didn't dry up as quickly as usual is the characteristic high humidity there which prevents (or at least slows down) evaporation.

I miss when we had actual wet races…

Boss GP racer? Please make a video of the driving style of a Boss GP champion named... MAHAVEER RAGHUNATHAN.

Can you explain how Stroll is so fast in the wet and average on Dry?

Scotland could do with more trees. Maybe Lewis's call to start on full wets was the way to go as overtaking off the dryer line was too slippery.

You mention Trail Braking. I understand that drivers Trail the brakes to keep the front axle loaded in corner turn in phase. How is this different in the wet? I presume there's less forward weight transfer (brake balance is usually wound back a bit in the wet)... so does that mean Trail braking is even more important in the wet to limit\control understeer?

uuh I have a silly question How much water do single-seater get inside the cockpit during rain? and how can it affect the drivers?

can we analyze sergio perez run on this race?

My first thought was ohh engine can give more power becoz colder conditions

0:28 one of those videos is actually from Day of the dead, not Halloween haha

Dude, Established Titles is a scam. You make yourself look so bad promoting that and even lending your voice to it.

Do you have SI version? I want square meter.

Love racing in the rain.

ive personally driven a few f1 cars myself through paid "track experience", as an example cota. Im far from a great driver, wouldn't say im terrible but im FAR from what those cars needed in the DRY.. taking it to a wet track? that's actually scary. it's so extremely sensitive and on the edge that just an incorrect 5%more pressure on the pedal would mean the front wing became just a wing. in the wet? jeeeez man, they guys got courage. that's all i gotta say, mad respect all round even to the back of the grid. because despite how much of a meme we make out of the back markers, having that real hands on experience i know for a damn fact they're insanely talented drivers.

ayrton senna and michael schumacher are two biggest example about mastering wet race, they both are rain master it's like they have a sixth sense about their car, and it help them in wet race

I saw a rally1 car ;)

In wet they are braking as late as possible in order to retain aerodynanic forces until last moment. In dry they don't need to do that.

Shameful is that FIA never let them race in rain. We only see intermediaries tyres nowadays. We will never see what Senna did in the rain again, if they aren't allowed to race in wets.

...and then you have Max who doesn't drive on the ideal racing line but where no one dares to drive - see Brazil 2016. He wants to know how much grip is there.

a brief summary for those who never see a wet road: wet roads have less traction. particularly in turns at speed.

good video but why did you have to show it driving the hairpin at suzuka the wrong way

so are you lord mansell?

They go as fast race day on dry track

06:13 Suzuka reversed?

2:46 **cough*Monaco*cough**

Wrong way on Suzuka at 5:50. :)

In the rain, f1 is nothing compares to rally and motogp

Driving in the rain is easy but tricky. Either you have traction either you won't. And unlike dry, rebound doesn't exist. As long you respect that, you go as fast as you can.

Not me only noticing this now, is Scott in any way related to Nigel Mansell?

Dang 100k views and only 125 comments.

Actually, I was thinking of dressing as a Wet Tyre for Halloween

I can't imagine even being able to SEE THROUGH THE VISOR with all the spray coming off the other drivers! Never mind actually driving!

I never understood if F1 is so focused on being environmentally friendly why they push Pirelli to increase its Scope1, Scope2 and Scope3 emissions by making wet tires they never use.

OK but almost all of this could be applied to all other race categories and series with rain. This isn't exclusively F1 related

Don't forget the poor visibility due to spray combined with the lighting

I wish F1 would come to the Dubai GP circuit. It's a great track!

Wouldn't it get easier as the tyres get hot, or do they never get hot in wets??

2:40 and still no answer to why the cars Are SO FAST (as the title suggests)

Can wet weather provide more downforce at a given speed?? Hmm

Wait. I can be a Lord??

bros the son of Nigel mansell 💀💀

Can't believe the hate Checo's getting on here sheesh

Wet tyres 😂😂

Crap...I've been driving in the rain totally wrong the whole time...

Now try racing with hard slicks during the rain...

Aged like egg

Great channel. But please put a longer pause between sentences.

Mate, why don't they just use full wets but postpone the race instead? I mean... full wets are just useless now.

They are so fast that the race ends instantly. MotoGP races in worse conditions than F1..... Why does F1 have rain tires again?

They can t even drive when it really is wet,the amount of delays for rain these days is absurd, as are the amount of safety cars.

They don't drive when it is wet. They red flag it and wait until intermediate tyres can be used.

Now if they'd actually race in the wet...

I seriously hope nobody takes any of the lines shown at around 5:49 ... that would mean driving the Suzuka turn 11 hairpin backwards!!! You guys surely know Suzuka better than that. :)

Nice video , but I just wanted to add the in the name of safety they have stopped "proper" wet races ,sure it's for safety but the wet tires r kinda getting useless.

You know what, you`re better speaking with 1.25x faster

I am sorry to inform you, but buying established titles lord or lady heritage, is not a real deal, it's more of a souvenier. Anyone can name them selves as lord or lady. I have bought quite many bottles of laphroiag during my 20 years of reign and have "ovnership" (lease) to many many plots of land in the islay. All you get is a printed plaque if you put your money into this. You can print it your self... Sorry to be a cock, but title lord is inherited. This wasn't meant as a dick move towards you Scott. Loved watching the A1 gp. Shame it didn't grow bigger and ended before it really even started.. Your brother from Finland!

ill turn up to Halloween as myself, I'm ugly enough thanks but no thanks established titles

On wet tracks my money is on Red Bull not cheating Mercedes’

Me like it wet 0,0

F1 drivers don't even race in the wet.

Driving skills…simple

Scott mansell Nigel mansell. Yes I know over used I just wanted to say it

Established titles.....wow......

Well everyone except Bottas

Established Titles is a scam I hope you drop them as a sponsor

YaetgciETs! (Yet another eejit that got cought in the Established Titles scam)

Because they don’t actually drive in the wet

Established Titles is a scam stop promoting them

the fastest are sim racers

Sponsored by Established Titles?? Really? I"ve got beachfront property in the Saraha Desert I'd like you to promote the sales please. LoL. You should look into whom is sponsoring you a bit more carefully before promoting a SCAM.

:)

Being entitled as a lord is the most dank thing I've ever came across.

they dont drive in the wet !!!!!!!!! in moist conditions they use the intermediate but that is basicly it . iff full wets are meeded the race gets red flagged so stop talking wrong things dude .
