I have a suggestion for an upcoming video. How about comparing safety elements throughout the years? I mean I know it is a sensitive subject as you may have to present crashes over the years but I think it would be very interesting

Oh wow! That open source component program sounds really interesting. I'd love a deep dive on that. I can't seem to find much about it in a quick youtube search.

Honestly, Scarbs and Scott seem like such great people to hang out with. I'd love to just meet them and chat for a while. You guys are awesome!

Thank you for fixing the recording quality of Scarbs! It made it hard to watch before when he was on.

2022 cars be like , "It's just the covid lockdown weight , I'll lose it soon ".....

The best host. Great explanation. 👍

great content. youve actualy got me back watching the races again.

21 kg for one rear wheel?! Wow, that's crazy heavy. All the unsprung mass and inertia.

I see why Alpha Tauri have Yuki Tsunoda now. That saves about 20kgs on everyone else.

Wow! You’re almost at a million subscribers. This is well deserved. 👏🏾

Interesting stuff. Could you / Scarbs do a video on what an open-canopy single-seater car would look like with zero restrictions? ie absolute maximum performance over F1-length race with no budget or technical limitations?

Finally Scarbs' audio is good! Thanks for that

It’s not only thanks to Scarbs but thanks to the whole team for constantly putting out interesting and informative content. Pat yourselves on the back, you guys deserve it. Just showing some appreciation

An easily digestible explanation. Thank You.

I just loved that you guys used Stefan Bellof pictures ❤️

you should make a video about historic f1 circuts passing away.

Thanks scabs. Can always count on you!!

Best channel for F1!!!

Really good video, very simple and understandable breakdown of the way the weight is allocated as well!

Cool episode as always. I'm curious. What do you reckon the weight range of all the drivers are? I mean you've got the taller ones. How much more do they weigh?

Consistent high quality content.

Paint having weight is why Mercs are "silver arrows".

With LeClerc setting the Albert Park lap record, I’m curious: Do you know why Schumacher’s Bahrain lap and Rubens Monza lap still hold the records? With the big downward trend in lap times, it seems odd for those records not to have been broken? All other track records have been broken since 2018

5:38 which video was this from? Haven't seen newey talk about the RB18 previously.

Scarbs video looks much better now :) Now you just gotta get him a condenser mic ;) :*

I have to correct Craig here: with the invention of carbon fiber, the cars actually became lighter AND much safer ;-)

I understand that the wheels are now a spec part, and they are aluminum. And when you put it in the light of 100 wheels per weekend, that would be an significant cost for carbon fiber wheels. But there was budget for the teams wheels beforehand. Or has the cost cap been factored so tightly in regs to the safety, and spec parts increases? So yes, the early stages of the cars development and redesigns are showing in most all teams. Red Bull's progress thru this new car and lasts years development,and success, should be congrats...It's just that wheel weight plays other rolls in handling/steering, as well as braking/acceleration (ie: racing). More so with the increased size and weight at the corners, negatively. They can talk about contact patch, but smaller is better for turning, braking, accelerating and I believe ride quality, as we see with porpoising. Stiffer tire sidewalls contributing to that effect. Fifteen inch aluminum wheels would even be a dynamic improvement...Test it and show me wrong! From a design concept and limitation factor, along with increased safety concerns, the cars are becoming pigs, that you're asking jockeys to manhandle for hours all weekend. Even on circuits that were new and challenging last year. And spoken of as dangerous this year Along wiith added sprints and race weekends. I don't know if your "dreamers" have a good grip on the reality of everything that they want to achieve, all at the same time.

In the words of Colin Chapman: simplify and add lightness

So removing the driver, the engine is closer to 22.5%, a lot more then roughly 15

Scarbs is so good for this channel, i have learnd a lot more about f1 because his explanations.

Can you make a discussion video like this but on why current cars are huge?

Scarbs has just answered the question I’ve been asking of why the black on the Ferrari race suits.

I have nothing against Mr Scarborough, but to have him on a skype call quality in terms of audio and video does hurt the overall quality of the videos, in my humble opinion... I subscribed because of the good quality content, your personality and the way you deliver technical info in an accessible manner. Would you consider get the info from him (while giving him credit for it of course) and deliver the info yourself instead ?

Love little bubble Scarb

What I find funny is that the FIA has open source components, essentially, killing part development because it has to be shared. That directly hampers innovation in the name of a more equitable field. I get that, but rewarding innovation?

fyi 5:06 wheel covers are not 3d printed. they are injection molded if plastic, die-formed aluminum or resin-layered if carbon fiber...

Never mind the weight, if they made them smaller, not as wide and less wheelbase, does anyone think that would be good?

Very informative. I just figured that like me they were overweight because they ate way too much and were extremely sedentary.

Cheers, from the Pacific West Coast of Canada.

Having painted hundreds of race cars over my years, you are not wrong in saying ‘saving kilos by reducing paint.’ It is NOT just grams of paint. It’s huge!

Disappointing how ridiculously heavy these cars are. It’s so evident as well.

Scarbs has got to be the most hardworking guy in F1

Pls share which car weight how much from heavy to less heavy of all teams.

The title made me think less about the cars and more about the teams

Bending the weight rules reminds me of the 1984 Tyrrell with the lead shot tanks. :)

3:30 nice to see antonio giovinazzi's man-bun remained at alfa

Minimum weight or maximum weight? (~ 20sec in, and again towards the end).

I think active suspension should return!

I can see I'm going to be the voice of dissent where the new rules are concerned: The cars are overweight because they are way too complicated and far too big.

Budget cap mainly...

scarbs looks like the dad of jahmene douglas or an old version of him. they look so alike, its nuts!

why don’t they put weight saving grooves i. the tyres like they used to?

I really noticed the extra weight of the cars in the first race, the cars looked slow and ponderous particularly in the low speed corners. In Saudi the cars looked great, high speed with lots of downforce and the new cars seemed to really come alive.

This channel is nothing without Scarbs

The wheel covers cannot be reused?

I didn't know for the open source parts ! I think it's a very clever way of doing things : each team must do their own parts, but they have no incentives to spend time and efforts to gain on the performance because others teams can just legally copy without the hassle of doing development. Such a good idea, and I dig the cost cap too, I think we'll have cost races this year.

let me ask a question to Scrabs... It is possible to make a smaller car, like in the 90th, with the same level of safety? and if is possible how many kg could be saved?

Now I know why Alpha is still giving chance to Tsunoda

Now I understand why they wanted Yuki Tsunoda so badly

I love the content but can we please send Scarbs a new camera and microphone? I think it's time for an upgrade for our boy!

at what point does the weight of the car become a safety issue...i mean think of the grosjean crash and the halo saving his life....would a lighter car penetrated the barrier in the same way?

Especially with the cost cap I'm not a big fan of the minimum weight, because these cars while still being one of the fastest on earth lose some of their edge due to their high mass. In my opinion the FIA should "just" set the safety standards, which the teams have to clear. A lighter car will have less energy in the event of a crash therefore they'll won't need a crash structure as big as they are now. Everythin is connected to each other in the developement of a F1 car. And if a team spends a bonkers amount of money on something like titanium alloys in order to decrease weight due to the cost cap they won't have as much money to develope their aero kit as other teams. Simple as that. Which would really create a interesting challenge tradeoff-wise for the engineers.

I’m a big fan of risk. That being said I watched live the race that took Ayrton Senna’s life. This is something I never want repeated. The risk is still there make no mistake but everything that has been done and hopefully will be done to mitigate such tragedy is worth its weight in gold.

How much does the hybrid package weigh? If you want to kill useless weight, there's a good place to start.

Shame you didn't show how well designed the old cars already were, when a driver can survive a 51g sudden stop after being run of the track.

The Budget cap is good and bad at the same time

They're also absolutely fucking huge. I would be easy to save a kilo if they were 1.5 meter shorter, for instance.

Blaming the weight increase on safety is a complete joke.

Please do a video on how Ferrari are so fast even while experiencing alot of porpoising also why redbull are experiencing reliability issues so early in the season.

I love scarbs

Fun fact, redbull makes the wheelcovers for every teams tires

why there's a tic-toc sound in the background?? 🤔 or am I crazy??

Does it matter if all cars are heavy?

Best era of safety and weight is the 3.0l v10 no hybrid had all the safety just wasnt as strong as todays example FW25 my fav car was 605kg with 930 hp bmw v10 the next year Juan Pablo with a FW26 had the all out Monza record which was broken in 14 years late by Kimi

They need to get rid of the battery and kers

Ist einfach schön so viele ECHTE Rennautos zu sehen, mindestens 8 Zylinder !!

Cannot understand the logic of the FIA, increasing the weight of safety structures and than calculating ( because someone must have figured this out right?) a car min weight that’s so difficult to achieve, thereby encouraging the teams to cut weight somewhere is might cause other safety problems.

Can someone please get Scarbs a mic already. I really enjoy listening to him but please get him a better mic.

Why are there 20,000 ads in an 8 minute video?!

Good video, but do we really need the background 'music'. Doesn't add anything. Just makes it harder to concentrate on the verbals.

I imagine there is tremendous pressure on the larger/heavier drivers not to exceed 80KG?

every driver complains about how heavy they are and even on tv they look lethargic and boaty especially in monaco. Something should be done to cut the weight

can't believe i have something in common with an f1 team😂

Turbo era Mk I: 500kg, 1500bhp 😎…

If the FIA would get rid of the hybrid system, the teams could save quite a lot of weight and money. It might well make for better racing. I certainly do applaud the advances they have made in safety in the last couple years. We have a lot of good fellows roaming the planet that otherwise might not be.

I think the Alfa is the shortest car, and a shorter car will be lighter as it contains less material.

For the love of all that is F1 science, get Scarbs a _proper_ webcam *and* microphone!!

If the cars are above minimal weight rules should not be changed, and the problem seems, kg under or above, to everybody.

Am I the only one who wants longer videos? I know I’m not the only one.

Could you do a video on how someone could get into driving F1? I’ve always been fascinated by it, and I can’t seem to gain weight so I figure I could put my lightness to use haha

The Donuts 🍩 they eat in the garage

F1 is so obscene. I love it 😂

Why do they define max weight, why not define min weight and then let the teams play with it

I thought that there was a minimum weight cars couldn't go under and not a limit they couldn't go over. Or is it both?

Dumb question, if the cars are on the heavier side, why worry about the minimum weight? if they’re clearly over it. Or is there a max weight?

Im sorry i dont believe for a moment the PU is 150kg. There is no god damn way. ICE - 75 Kg Battery Pack - 20Kg Turbo and MGU-K 15Kg Control Electronics 5Kg I make that 115 Kilo

Want to lighten F-1 cars? Then get rid of the batteries. Most of us would like to see F-1 return to V-12's anyway.

I fuck with Scarbs

Why are the FIA introducing so many restrictions that are so heavily restricting the F1 design development. I thought F1 was suppose to be the pinnacle of car design?
