Unfortunately the only downfall of Chapman was he himself, the Lotuses were lightning fast in his time but notorious for not being a safe car to drive, it ended up losing him some of his beloved drivers like Jim Clark and Jochen Rindt, but he was a literal genius and was the closest thing to a one-man army in F1 if you don't count the drivers

🙏👍👍👍

And that Lotus was one of the most innovative F1 teams of all time.

You sir, deserve a like

The most important was missing, Disc Brakes

Disc brakes were used by Jaguar at Le Mans first

Could have added the Halo which is the last best innovation

Out of top 10 only active suspension no longer exists f1, time to bring that back 😆 would fix porpoising problem

*brakes

Yep, it is a common mistake haha thank you for explaining. I even heard of this "heat from brakes" on an F1 technical segment on TV when introducing KERS. 🙃🙃

doesn't the "K" in KERS even stand for "kinetic" or so?

same at 7:55 or so, the turbocharger does not use the heat of the exhaust gases, but rather the kinetic energy of the flowing gas, to drive the intake side...

@@josepina8148 I hope so. The mass damper was a very significant advantage that was banned for spectacle, but it deserved to go on and be developed. We could even have it on road cars now, it is very cheap and if well tuned, effective.

TMD...

Yeah. Now that 30-some years has passed and technology and safety have advanced a lot, we can come back to those cool concepts and ideas but build a nice research team and ruleset around them to allow for great racing without killing anybody

Active suspension should come back. That definitely need to make a return!

Pretty hyped for the tuned mass damper's return

You would think, until you realize the truth that the FIA doesn't care about safety. Remember it took almost 4 full years to get basic cockpit protection after Bianchi was killed.

Both of the nose cones that car had look incredibly modern, interesting to see just how perfect bits and pieces of car design ended up being from that era that its still used today

I always thought that was a Benetton innovation, but you're right, it was Tyrrell. Benetton borrowed the idea a year later with the B191.

@@AshleyPomeroy Adrian Newey designed a nose for the 1989 Leyton House that was raised higher than the other cars but nowhere near as high as the next year's Tyrrell.

Came to the comments for this. Crazy stuff. They're taking a stroll.

Ah yes, the exact moment when the engineer entered the playground.

Not utilizing a riding mechanic certainly played a pivotal role, but other factors should be considered too. Indianapolis was his favorite racecourse, and he prided himself on prudent race-craft. In an era of thrill seeking daredevil race drivers, Ray Harroun was more a thinking man's racer. As an engineer, his pre-race planning led him to secretly consult with Firestone engineers about tire wear and overall longevity over the course of 500 miles. Their collective assessment was to keep it under 80mph to prevent excessive tire wear. With that in mind, he averaged 74.6mph over the 500 mile, seven and a half hour race. He went thru four right rears, and never needed to change the other three tires. His fellow participants averaged 11 pit stops each. As well known as his effort was, I feel he's STILL under rated, under appreciated.

He also invented the open wheel car

I feel like I can build my own car after watching this

They haven't realized, but the Chaparral 2J was the first ground effects car. Not the 78(the 2J was Can-Am)

@@devilbub8709 Well, that doesn't seem like a F1 car for me

definately not spinning it, it was a controlled drift

Or even the Renault Mass damper could be a solution as well

@@damtan6286 no the mass damper wouldn't

It makes sense. New technologies are, by their nature, hard to understand. It wasn’t that F1 was wrong to ban them, it was just that they were banned until they were well understood enough to be effectively regulated.

@@Llanowar_Kitten True. The main reason for the bans were safety. Now that safety technology has come up and regulations tighten to make cars safer to race, they are now able to implement those innovations without compromising safety

@@akmal94ibrahim Right. But for the turbo for example, it wasn't only safety. The real safety problem due to the turbos back then were the qualifying engines delivering more than 1000 BHP. They had already found a solution to this issue in 1988 adding a poff-off valve to reduce the power even during the race. But they maint&ained the ban on the turbo the following year anyway due to a fundamental reason: the devlopement cost which was enlarging the gap between top teams and the rest of the grid threatening the small teams, the show and the sport future in general. That was one of the best FISA decisions. Immediatly, from the start of the 1989 season, there were so many new teams and engine constructors entries, and the gap between the teams in general tightened. The other argument against turbos was that this technology was not used yet that much on production cars. Well, times change, now it's all different. The use of turbos is relevant from an energy and cost saving POV, the technology has come a long way and is largely used on roads, safety has evolved dramatically, and at the end the use of turbos is now mandatory in F1 anyway, so it won't have a negative impact on competitivness of small teams knowing they all have to use them

Funny how active suspension was put into F1 cars because of porpoising, and now porpoising's back.

HANS device could be mentioned too...

Yes, I wonder how they didn't inclueded it here

They already have a video with other car innovations on the channel, like the fan car, the mass dumper and the F-Duct.

How does that make him a gentlemen?

By the 2nd half of the season, it went decently well. Lets forget about the first half though😶‍🌫️

Other cars did manage to catch up to them in the 2nd half, but the lead they got in the first half was massive

I don't think they use it anymore?

@@unsaidatom2310 every team still uses it.

@@rogeeeferrari are you sure about that? They wouldn't need to

@@unsaidatom2310 Please explain how they open and close valves without it ?

@@rogeeeferrarithey open with camshafts and close with conventional springs. The only reason they went to pneumatic was because of extreme rpm. An F1 ICE doesn't even rev as fast as a superbike anymore. I don't want to have a KZfaq comments section argument, I'd like to have a considered discussion about the topic. I am prepared to conceded that F1 still uses pneumatics in the valve train, I'm just wondering if they still do?

In a turbo charger system you cannot separate heat and flow. They are integrally linked.

With the new car design for 2009, it really was something innovative and I’m happy it still lives on today

Imagine Merc with DAS and active suspension. Yeah

No-limits kers would be awesome, including front wheel harvesting and deployment. The efficiency would go from 50 to 75 in no time.

The flow is the result of heat energy expanding a gas volume. You will find the temperature of said gas drops significantly after going through the turbine.

Yes, the most fascinating element in F1 for us as kids back then was the empirical research. Testing revolutionary and original ideas in real life, rather than simulating them on softwares and making them already so complicated before a very few of them arrive on track, all following a very strict rule book.

@@ulysse21 definitely agree mate.

facts

Let it go, mate.

Because the teams started to pre-program every turn into the suspension routine and that involved gear changes, engine mapping, braking, traction control, ride height, and every other driver aid imaginable. Policing all that became impossible as the ride height saga proved, they ran crazy low on track and high at the minimum when passing the control blocks at the entrance of the pits.

and the rules are bs

Stop giving me hope.

We wouldn't remember it. Overtaking does not equal racing.

@@X8X8X8X8X8X8X8X8X8X equal racing would only work if the fia issued the same car to every team

Das isn’t that advanced honestly, it’s genius because it’s so simple I think. But imagine; the ultimate F1 car. Active suspension, DAS, ground effect, the mass damper in the nose, shave off as much weight as possible and watch it go

@@tyler_bt3326 Exactly! That`s what i mean. The cars could go so much quicker and the racing could be so much more exciting if the FIA wouldn`t ban everything. Think about 2009.Brawn mastered the double diffusor and won the championship with it. But the FIA banned it after that season.
