@@RobertoNelook No... But it's still a great answer !! 👍😊

​@ktm300wc He very clearly addressed the question. He said "I don't know", and then proceeded to enriched the conversation with added insight. This is a conversation that they're having. They didn't invite him just to ask "How much is your car at work?"

Tens? The hourly wage of highly skilled engineers, workers and technicians will add a bit more than a few tens of thousands

More like tens of millions

Wait what? You need several People to start 1 car???

​@@UberBossPureyes. There are hours of prep involved with just starting the car for a race.

Why do some people disrespect Hamilton, why not appreciate the Legend while he is still with us, I bet you all these people throwing dirt on his name will be the loudest ones if God forbid something ever happens to him. Is is because he is a man of colour? And I’m asking this as a white person who can’t see why anyone would hate this guy THAT much.

​@@em8969you just answered your own question

@@em8969they disrespect ppl bc they don't have respect for themselves😊

​@@em8969it's because he won so many races they felt like the sport was getting boring. I understand how they feel, because Red Bull all of a sudden were so fast in a straight line the racss weren't competitive. But I hate the FIA, not the driver or the team.

They're actually really high drag, because high drag = high down force (in these cars - there's clearly more to it than that)

@@edwardb05 both are correct, they use aerodynamics in the most efficient way they can come up with the maximum needed downforce with the least drag possible.( high drag does not equal high downforce ie. if at the front there was a 10m brick wall it would provide 0 cornering advantage)

See the video of the F1 car racing sport cars recently? Think F1 needs to work on the acceleration and top speed, because they got beat on both ends, and was beat badly out of the hole

@@VAspeed3 Thanks for confirming that American delusions are alive and well...

At some point in most professions of this caliber the person driving or playing the sport is basically an imperfect AI, and can often outpace what we think is possible just through repetition. It is the same thing as hitting a 100mph baseball, physics wise it is a tall task to ask your brain to make decisions at that speed, and for the average person their reaction is slower than the time it takes the ball to get to the plate. But we see time and time again it is not only possible to hit 100mph balls, we can hit dingers off of it. Thank you for your tidbit about the perfect lap!

@@cameronroberts5461most of the top athletes perform through their muscle memory because of repetitive practice

This is such a weird comment. It’s like trying to say humans are quicker than a pocket calculator. Humans have emotions, they have physical limits, there is so much more. It’s kinda like thinking you are playing vs a pc or console and it’s on the hardest difficulty level but you think you are always going to get an easy win. You just need to use the correct inputs ands models to do this type of behavior

Not to mention an average driver can't even press the breaks cause they so hard....

@@tomyobee8049 Yeah. Sam on YT channel ‘Seen through Glass’ was talking about that on a recent vid. He only managed 40% brake pressure and he was pressing as hard as he could.

When Jordan had racing team and didn't have the fastest car it was able to go 0 to 100 and dead stop in 5 seconds

You also have to remember how low those cars sit and the tires they use and the insane suspension they have. In mountain biking our reps always said a full suspension bike is similar to an F1 car, in that it's always trying to keep your tires engaged with the ground. That makes it more efficient and ergo, you go faster.

@@paulmurphy8549 That’s quick isn’t Paul. You just reminded me. Somewhere there is a video of Martin Brundle comparing his personal road car at the time, a Ferrari Maranello to an F1 car by doing a 0 To 100 to 0 test. I can’t remember now which F1 car was used. It was broadcast on British TV, but I don’t know what program it was. It could have been a segment filmed for a piece before an F1 race, in the early days of his commentating with Murray Walker The V12 Maranello at the time (90s) was one of the quickest road cars you could buy. The F1 car made it look cumbersome and slow. When I watched that, all those years ago, that’s when I realised how serious and focused an F1 car was. Sorry that my memory is hazy, but I think the F1 car got to 100 and stopped again before the Ferrari Marinello got to 100.

Mercedes have the biggest team, but yes, it takes a village to put these cars together, and to keep them running smooth for a full season

Yeah that’s nuts because even like nascar and Nhra they only have like a crew of 10- maybe 20

Yep, the people you see in the garage are merely a fraction of what they have back at HQ

The HQ team running data and strategy is just a fraction of the depth of the team

@@GenesisG70LaunchEditionWould that only be 10-20 people that ever work on the car? Or would there be more people working in it remotely from the raceday crew?

And $7-10 million is just the Engine alone 💀

They don’t cost anything close to 12-16m Red Bull, for example, spent 250m all in on 4 cars, so you’re talking 62.5m for that team for that season

⁠@@icarusflying1814"all in" means the two cars each, plus multiple engines, plus every single other thing that needs repaired. If you were to build the car once, it would be closer to the 16 value than the 62

The Engine alone is more than $10.5m

Imagine what they could build without rules or restrictions.

​@@TheFullNeilsonwe can only dream 🥺 I'm hoping they at least open it up to activate aerodynamics it would be awesome. Won't happen though lol

I think people would be shocked at how much faster they could make a car than what is currently in formula one if they had no limitations. I believe they would become so fast humans could not come close to driving them to their full potential due to our physical limitations.

@@TheFullNeilson Great points well made 👌🏻

@@TheFullNeilsonBring in the AI drivers

Are you new to f1? Cause when things are bad he also openly blames his team.....like he did over the last two years.

I prefer F1 to Nascar. Tryin to save up enough money to go to Monaco next year.

for some of us F1 fans, that right there is why we watch it - for the tech...and to be fair F1 has always been about teams looking at the rules , exploiting loop holes etc The amount of ideas that teams have and then get banned is the reason F1 rules are some of the strictest and most detailed of any motorsport 😂

​@@friktionrcf1 was originally for constructors then it became about idiot drivers like hamilton who wins when he has the best car

@@VARMOT123 🤣 ..so that applies to Max then too surely? I mean he never won any world championships in a Torro Rosso did he? 😄 Hate to burst your bubble here fella but no driver in the history of F1 has won a world championship driving the slowest, most unreliable car on the grid. They've all won in the best car...even when its crap its still better than all the other crap cars on the grid. As for how F1 started, the words 'sherlock', 'no' and 'sh*t' spring to mind although not necessarily in that order.

Llf 👍👍👍😜🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🦕🦄😁✌️🤞

It’s mad because the engines are only a 1.6 but they are short stroked with cylinders shaped like hockey pucks and the thermal efficiency for the air to fuel ratio is a lot higher. The engineering is mental

From physics side every car has its highest power some revs below highest revs. At f1 cars the highest revs are round about 16000 revs per minute. Thats where the power comes from.

​@@benjaminfroussos7466A lot of it also comes from thermal efficiency. In other words, how much of the energy in the fuel is converted to mechanical energy. The average engine's thermal efficiency was 18.6% (it's probably a little higher now). The current world records for thermal efficiency is held by F1 cars @ just over 50%. So if a regular engine with 25% thermal efficiency that produces 200hp had it's efficiency doubled, the power extracted from feul doubles to 400hp as well. Also, after that 18.6% and after all the inefficiencies of the rest of the drive train, only 6% of the energy in the fuel actually makes it to the wheels. F1 cars are efficient in that way as well. A lot more of the energy in the fuel makes it to the wheels.

​@@tylerdurden3722where do you get those figures from especially the 6 percent.

Engine efficiency & drivetrain losses

Bruh it’s his career lol like wtf did you expect

@@MOSxNY there are lots of athletes that aren’t as passionate about what they do, there are drivers on the grid way less passionate you think Mazepin had the same drive Hamilton has? There are even footballers like Ben White and Assou-Ekotto who say they do it for the money

90% of Americans don't know what he mean

LoL yeah cause turn speed and handling has nothing to do with NASCAR🙄 . Just think of how small you can make a starting field if you had micro engineered engines, computer traction control, 4 tire types, a carbon fiber micro aero engineered body/chassis and then pay a pilot $50 million a year to fly it. You could easily whittle the starting field from 34 down to 10. We understand very well you are comparing a motorsport that was birthed by a bunch of backwoods moonshiners in the southern USA to an elitist Eurotrash motorsport 😉 ....kinda like apples to oranges heh. ....I am in Canada so the F1 race is on in the mornings which I use as filler before the Cup race later in the day. I have been to many NASCAR races and have friends that go to Montreal every year and the one thing both crowds certainly understand is how to party......Cheers 🍻

Yes, they do understand. Only people who don't understand racing think NASCAR doesn't take skill or engineering. Is it the same as F1? Obviously not but don't sell them short. It takes immense skill to race at the top of any series.

That goes both ways if you look into it f1 drivers have called nascar the hardest racing there is and nascar drivers have said the same about F1 so none of us have a clue so I’ll trust what the guys who have experienced both have to say

@@richardcox8409Easily pleased.

I was shocked they slowed down to turn, because American drivers never break and only know how to turn left

@@wanleaf The trade off in styles for the viewer is over takes. The average number of lead changes in NASCAR in 2012 was 27.1 with 12.8 different drivers. The number of lead changes in F1 in 2010 was just over 2.

@@orlock20The average amount of skill in a NASCAR race is none.. You never wonder why a ton of American sports never catch on and become international other than at an extremely low, insignificant, done by any man level? The majority of them are nothing more than a show for easily pleased people..

"Extremely slow" You have never been in a racecar, TV is the reason. NASCAR raced on 7 circuits. You never watch nascar cause you out here watching a dude win 10 straight races, also the races are predictable unlike nascar which is actually good.@@Primitive01

@@OwnedByUno Who said slow?

You must also consider the cost of factory facilities, tools and training without which there is no capability to design and build the car. That's a multiple billion dollar investment over decades.

At the time it was over half a billion dollars😂

that's how you know this is bullshit, 135 million would barely be enough to pay 1300 people for a year, let alone build expensive prototypes.

Yea, but that's not how much the car worth. Usually the top cars worth around 20mil. The development cost is much much higher

Not completly true as there are a lot of things that dont count towards the budget. E.g. the top 3 earners in a team and the driver salaries and probably a lot more

Yeah, team like haas has no money like that

That’s why the cars are littered with sponsors, they aren’t taking on all that cost.

Yes. Yes it can😅

Seriously man

2million + for the chasis,17million for the engine ,1million+ for other things

eASy!!

The F1 car has a 0-60 of 2.6 seconds. The new Corvette Z06 has a 0-60 of 2.6 seconds also. A Tesla Model S Plaid has a 0-60 in about 2 seconds flat or less. It's not about straight line speed. These things are built for amazing cornering on the track. The technology is all about It's ability to take corners at tremendous speeds.

​@@KingSnakeYTrichest man in the world can't hire them ? 🙂

@@KingSnakeYT dude they are literally want to go to the moon 💀, what you say doesn't make sense at all

You have to be a multi millionaire to even compete and after that you’re almost guaranteed to lose millions until you maybe reach a level where you can win a race every year.

I highly doubt an engine will cost 10M development maybe. The engine itself probably few 100k?

​@@House6400not really, it usually reached around 10M figures high for a power unit per season. Those 1.6L V6 turbo are so precise and robust even though they are short stroke engine (with turbo), not to mention coupled with hybrid motors, so it's very unsurprising that it actually costs that much

@@tonyhawkization what could make an engine cost 10 millions, I agree that upon investigation, engineers, and development the cost can actually add up to that no questions asked, but the raw materials shouldn’t add to that crazy amount of money!

You can bet it costs the team a lot less.

Let’s pretend the number is correct, Hass has a budget of 100 millions a year and the need to manufacture 8 engines that will be 80 million dollars, plus the rest of the car, plus all the engineers, I’m sorry but that math is just simply wrong! It doesn’t add up!

He said in this video they have 1300 employees, thats tens of millions in salary that you're completely ignoring

@@thisisnotrealasdfasdfasdf1704he said how much was the car not how much do they pay employees

@@rizzyfc6512 Yes and this guy used the entire teams budget and divided it by the amount of cars they produced. That completely ignores the cost of labour. Why would a $10million budget towards the F1 Driver count as part of the cost of the car? 1300 employees is probably a bigger cost then the car itself

@@thisisnotrealasdfasdfasdf1704no its not… in the end most of these employees are also kind of calculated in the car costs… if you buy a normal roadcar for lets say 20k. the carcompany needs to make profit on that… so the materials to build the car and the machines as well as the people working on it must be paid from the sales of the car… same goes for f1 but i guess if you deduct the salaries form the budget its still ridiculous… the car parts for one car are already like 15-20 million and thats without r&d… so total car costs back then were probably around like 50-100 million i would assume

There was no budget back then

Not exactly, but close. Rockets are supersonic, so they face compressible air. The aerothermodynamics becomes really important.
