I think a lot of people (mostly newcomers to the sport) forget that aswell

Yup. If we had fights in 2014-2021, it was because Vettel and Max were vastly better drivers than really overrated Merc ones and could beat them in far worse cars (and in Vettel's case, also clown team who did everything to lose on strategy). Reminder that Rosberg was the only driver to ever by obliterated by Webber, yes, that Webber who was destroyed by Vettel in all years in F1 together, even when Vettel was in Toro Rosso and Webber in Red Bull...

​@@KuK137 Explain why Ricciardo, an overrated driver who got kicked out of the sport this year, obliterated Vettel in 2014, and also beat Max in 2016-17. Leclerc obliterated Vettel in 2019-20 in the same "clown team".

​@@NandoFIT-df8ly very easy actually. Vettel and Riciardo are drivers who can drive insanely well if a car is set up in a certain way. This is common, like we see with Hamilton. The "best of all time" was beaten by his new teammate, and this all had to do with Lewis not being able to adjust quickly to a new car. Ferrari had a difficult car when Vettel was having a tough time with it, Leclerc too but he adjusted faster. Daniel was great in RB, needed some time to get used to the slightly different Renault, but couldn't get used to the McLaren. It's because the car philosophy didn't suit his driving style. Verstappen destroyed his recent teammates regularly, mostly because the car was setup for his driving style, which not many others prefer. Not to discredit any driver that wins over their teammate, but the car has to suit the driver in order for the driver to perform to their fullest potential.

​@@NandoFIT-df8ly it's all out there by the way. Questions like yours are covered very often by various KZfaq channels covering F1 or motorsports in general. Even drivers themselves provide this insight during pressmoments

Yeah fr💀

Diff era.

Everyone knows about the engine advantage that year. The question for this year is that there's an engine freeze so the answer must be aerodynamic

tbf in 2014 the mercs were just fighting each other. Everyone else was chum meat

Hamilton acting like him Rosberg and Bottas didn't routinely finish 40+ seconds ahead of everyone else. Hamilton got to enjoy that kind of an advantage for 5 years! (2014, 2015, 2016, 2019 and 2020). Verstappens had it for 2 races and hes already complaining.

And drove literally the fastest car ever when looking at lap times, W11. Also, it was just as dominant as RB19 is shaping up to be.

Exactly, you can't see another car that fast if you're the one driving it

Why are all of you completly misunderstanding his comment?

​@@B__L racism. That's why. They hate the man because of the colour of his skin. End of...

@@B__L Because they’re bots - or humans with bot-like tendencies. Just ignore them; nuance is entirely lost for them and their kind.

It's not super common but it's also not that weird, there have been many times that the best F1 car of that year has that very quality. Ross Brawn talked about one of his old Ferrari's being so good they would deliberately run a downforce setting low enough to make sure they were quicker in a straight line than their rivals at the time, whilst carrying enough downforce that they remained the fastest in the slow corners. He said it was all possible simply because they had the best downforce/drag ratio at the time. Basically they didn't try to run their car at it's optimum setting, they just made sure they were fastest in the speed trap and fastest in the slowest corner and had a balance the drivers liked, with that the car was always too quick and the drivers were always comfortable pushing it. As a counterpoint, I've heard David Coulthard talk about his Adrian Newey designed McLaren's from 1998/1999 and he talked about how they weren't his favorite F1 cars despite them being some of the best he ever had in his career (relative to the field) because to get the best from them their setups required "too much understeer" and he just didn't like that balance in his car. If he dialed it out, he have up too much performance. If Redbull have so much performance in their car, they might just be doing what Ross said Ferrari did, focusing on giving Max and Checo a balance they like as long as they have the top speed trap and fastest slow corner speeds.

I respect you for saying that, not many merc fans that would give flowers where due

@@launchsquid think the video highlights something more … the RB is not a trade off or ratio between slow and fast corners but they can get the best of both worlds by bleeding drag at speed (by stalling the rear beam and diffuser plus clever wing aero) but retaining downforce at lower speeds. That is remarkable.

It comes in eras, this seem to be RB era of dominance, previsouly it was Mercs, before it was RB again... But with the penalty RB has and the development potential on the AM i hope that the end of the seaosn will be tight.

Not only that but the RB19 being able to run so low

😂😂😂😂

Classic lh. Win as a team, lose beceuse of the team

Thats a good mantra though. Win as a team lose as a team 🤣

​​​@@zonorato that isnt really that bad of a way to be, in fact that would mean hamilton credits all of his success to the team. It would be worse if he says its all him when he wins

@@gamingnoah9807 I agree, in victory he is very appreciative of his team for sure. But when things go poorly he is very quick to call out the team for their mistakes

😂😂😂😂

yes

Selective memory smh.

"But I was winning so there was nothing wrong about that"

Was thinking the same... that unmatched technicall knowhow newey brings really took a hoilday didnt it

Lewis has a notoriously poor memory

That was also his skills. I don't know why dont you talk about Max Comeback a Spa Or Sochi (2021).And no one told Max to take a new Honda engine run at a greater power. I COULD have agreed with you if you had talked about 2014😂😂.

No. They've called it Hammertime 🤣🤣🤣🤣...and now just hammered

no he wasnt. clearly.

that was tuned up engine and the rear "squat"

No that was all him apparently and heralded as one of the best drives ever according to British media looool.

W11 was never known for top speed. You must be thinking about 2014-17 era. Or you're just another casual and Lewis is your daddy

@@fjuuuuuz the w11 was literally the most dominant car what are you talking about

​@@fjuuuuuz remove 2017 as Ferrari matched them

​@@Mow_Lester the w07 was more dominant, but the 88 McLaren was the most dominant ever.

@@Mow_Lester Not even remotely close to being “the most dominant car.” Do yourself a favor and read about the 1988 season.

Didn't he dive down the inside? That's not exactly a straight-line speed difference... Edit: Okay, can now confirm that it had nothing to do with engines... The only pass made between Hamilton and Norris was on the brakes into turn 1.

McLaren 2021 had renault engines right?

@@oliverwatson6956 you did not see the gap at the begining of the straight it is not showed in this short video. As i saw it live it was crazy. Of course hamilton dived but he cut off like a 1 second gap and overtook norris on that straight. It’s not even a particularly long straight

Neither have I and I've seen both races this season!

You really nailed this comment.

@@Atlas.Brooklyn I wanted to know what it feels like to say something Will Buxton would have said.

Adrian Newey is a wizard for sure. He probably gets an aerodynamic epiphany from someone sneezing into a tissue 🤧

What they’re able to achieve aerodynamically is actually ahead of its time, the fact that they’re already the most efficient car AND they found a huge DRS exploit just by adjusting their diffuser and beam wing design, other teams car barely get the rear end to work the way they want to and these guys are just innovating

Just look at Red Bull.😅

​@@51bikerboy won't tell you much. It's similar, but still very different, for example, having a cut in on top of sidepods in similar way to Ferrari.

@@51bikerboy 😆😅

@@gladdy6412 it’s similar but still very different 💀

@@51bikerboy that comment shows you didn't take a proper look at those cars... Just yapping around and repeating the red bull narrative. This years AMR and last year's RB are vastly different cars. They have similarities in some corners but close to every car this year has that because RB had the best car last year.

Chief designers don't design the whole car themselves ffs

@@ninjaed13 steve jobs was a genis he made the iphone in a cave!

​@@Half_Finis It's James who won the titles for MB , not Lewis .

Yup.. during the MS era,.. it was really Driver vs chief engineer (AN). Credit where its due. I cant see why lewis has to bitch over this. Without mercedes superiority when he chalked up his championships, he would also be just a bit above mediocre. In a proper dog fight race on equal machines, he isnt impressive.

Nikolas Tombazis and Pat Symonds wrote the rules though.

Undisputable genius, but only when the engines aren't a factor, its a shame F1 became an aero series again, I thought it was the pinnacle of motorsport when the whole package mattered.

@@Rambotato great sailent point, my guy. But we have to consider that building an engine takes more time, more funding and smarter staff.

Similar to "James won titles for Mercedes, Not Lewis" .

Yes even his peers say Newey is the best Aerodynamists of all the other teams. Old school who I believe still designs the majority of the car on an a drafting board like the good ole' days.

I think he meant this much faster than the rest of the field, which we can only prove or disprove by the end of the season

​@@korniliosjs we already know it's not the fastest car compared to the field of all time. The W05-W07 were far more dominant. RB only comes close to that when you compare RB directly to Merc

@@korniliosjs That's even less true than the original statement, 2014 was a fucking joke

@@valkeitos we don't know anything from 2/25(?) tracks where red bull finished 1-2 in both.

​@@korniliosjs 2014 and 2016 come to mind

This is a very sensible take. And it’s not an insult towards Lewis, if anything it’s a compliment to his efforts saying he’s been at the front so long he’s not used to it. But the fact remains, he’s not used to being passed like that. The closest rival he had before now was Verstappen in 2021, and as far as top speed goes the RB16B and W12 were somewhat on par. He’ll get used to it. Maybe Merc will get back on top, maybe not. It’s the nature of F1, everyone drops off eventually

​@@tyler_bt3326 It's more a complement to the ones that built the cars

Eh, and then fuck up the car again and blame Honda for it. That seems the way they operate.

I mean what do you expect the guy literally wrote a book on how ground effect works in F1

I like DRS

@@diggernicks for me, DRS & drivers on mismatched wear Pirelli tyres has been terrible. Drivers overtaking the car in front before the braking zone.

Agreed - I have come to hate F1 because of it.

Exactly

Engine Yes .... Aero not so much. Merc was never good at aero exactly why they are suffering right now. They use to build 3-4 different concept cars for a season and picked the "Less draggy one" slapped on the +60 kw PU and left the rest of the field in dust. That and the fact that the Ferrari & Honda PU has played catch up until 2021 has gone out the window, and with the cost cap it sort of rubbed salt in the wounds.

From what I’ve heard the main difference between glossy and matte paint is that matte paint is lighter.

matte finishes save you a few grams of weight but texture may have something to do with how air flows over it. a smooth ball flows very different from a golf ball with a bumpy texture so you may have a point or maybe its negligible. Only Adrian Newey really knows lmao

For the paint they use, it doesn’t no. It’s a matter of weight. You could have paint which could have aero effect, but it would need to be very very bumpy, the golf ball dimple is a good idea of size for the bumps. What that does is ensure you have a turbulent boundary layer. In cases where you know flow will detach, this helps control when and where it detaches, which leads to reduced drag. However, in the case where you want nice, smooth, laminar, attached flow for as long as you can, bumpy paint would increase drag, and more importantly, mess up the airflow to other parts of the car, which is why they don’t do it

such a typical lie and pretend by black person

slowest on straights yes, but they are very strong in the corners, you can have more downforce which causes more drag slower straights but stronger in the corners. Or you can have a low downforce so fast in the straights and slower in the corners

@@lewismitchell3751 exactly. Its all relative. obviously BM is a new f1 fan.

i wouldnt trust mclaren to properly copy my math homework, never mind something to intricate as DRS lmao

@VERY EVIL PERSON FROM ILLUMINATI The car didn't lose at all, they won the constructors championship. As long as you kept feeding it new engines every 3 races it was much faster then anything else on the field in a straight line.

​@@TheCountess666 not even close. Red bull had the better straight speed in first half season and then matched mercedes until brazil but even in qatar and jeddah Lewis didnt used his brazil engine power

@@alexlacl8730 What are you talking about? Redbull was at the back of the field in terms of straight line speed the first half of the reason. Mercedies wasn't always at front but always ahead of red bull. The redbull 2021 car won in the corners.

@@TheCountess666 always ahead of red bull ? You just need to see the qualifying comparison made by f1 on the french gp. Rb also dominated mercedes in austria where the balance and speed straights count a lot.
