Oh man,this shot is great,you can really see how big this tires are

Yo, F1 content managers! I fully understand your move to, for example, move the "Paddock Pass" to F1TV. That being said, I'd advise you to keep the formats - including the Tech talk - on your KZfaq channel. I showed this to my brother, who had no interest in motorsports whats-o-ever - and he was hooked by it & promised to watch the GP with me tomorrow. So - I understand the move behind the paywall on a few occasions, but I also think that keeping those 'shows'/'segments' available to anyone boosts public awareness and interest.

Easily the best series on this channel. It’s completely changed my interest in Formula 1. Thank you for making these

this dude is a great communicator for nerdy tech topics. F1 KZfaq channel is getting consistently better

Ah the famous line "get that decision right, you could be like Winklehock. Get it wrong, you could be like Hamilton."

Great presentation

It's gonna be a dry race now. You jinxed it.

Can we get a tech talk on Lawrence's shoes :P

F1: How’s the weather there? Nurburgring: Yes

Ah yes the ultimate jinx, now that they made an entire video about wet weather tyres we will never see rain anymore

You get this man to go to the races and interview the cars not the drivers I want him to look at the cars I want to explain all the different aerodynamic of changes that have been because he is so cool

I feel like I'm at F1 University and Sam Collins is my professor 😁Excellent analysis and very well explained even for us fans who aren't that technical 👌👌

Aussie F1 fans: *Snow tires?*

*F1 shows Sam Collins* F1 Fans: Everyone liked that!

Show us more of technical stuff like that - How those wheels are balanced - How Grid garage looks like - Types of Apex on the tracks - And so much more! There is so much more content than "just" race

SAM "THE GENIUS" COLLINS IN DA HOUSE

Meanwhile: next to no rain and not a single wet tire today. Also: Hulk did it again, this dude needs a contract. Now.

Finally, ten whole minutes of THE GUY talking f1 bits

Love how this guy explains stuff....informative for a newbie, and not annoying for an absolute F1 nerd like me. Excellent choice of presenter.

Who have dislike this?? C mon this guy is so great

This guy is brilliant. He's obviously got such a passion for the technical aspect of the sport

A 10 min tech talk? Yes please. Thank you very much.

His voice and presentation is just mesmerizing. What a decision by liberty

Absolutely love sams tech talk - expands the F1 entertainment many times over, this segment along with the pre race, warm up episode and in depth post race has made F1 a week long show and so far away from the old times of a bang, pop, fizz and done in 2 hours, see u next time extravaganza. Kudos to you guys.

This year has been the best for last 5 years ( my viewing duration) hope to see these tracks again!

"Time the switch of tyres right and you'll be like Markus Winkelhock, half a lap ahead" Johnny Herbert agrees, he timed a tyre switch right en route to winning at the Nurburgring in 1999

Turns out the correct wet tyre for victory at the Nurburgring was a dry tyre.

Aaand it's gone. Rain is only about 30% for the race.

yo this series is sick. big up whoever found this dude.

This man deserves a Nobel Prize. He’s taught me more than any teacher I’ve ever had

That was an excellent video, and he's a great presenter.

i can't begin to say how much i love this series. The technical side of F1 has pretty much always been one of my biggest fascinations. Even more so nowadays where, as much as it hurts to say it, the racing isn't as spectacular, the engineering masterclass still holds my attention.

Sam, i can't stress enough the awesome put in scene that you make, i really enjoy the way you explain all the things in F1. Cheers mate, keep it up!

Thank you for your insight Sam Collins. I genuinely did not expect to learn anything when I clicked on the video, but when you mentioned “puddle hunting” to keep temperatures down that really was enlightening.

Thank you for sharing you research and knowledge in such a compressible way.

Excellent presentation. Really worthy background information.

Very nice segment. Keep 'em going!

Another staple performance from Sam! Tech Talk - the single best series here!

Thank you for these great presentations. They are very interesting and easy to understand.

These Tech Talks are great, Thanks Sam!

This is going to be an awesome race

Love the presentation. This man is solid gold.

We need a tech talk on the material used on a F1 car. Eg: Is the engine block billet aluminum?

Thanks Sam! More of these tech talks!!

This is the most under-represented part of technical R&D. All I knew about these tires was 85L/sec, blankets and that's it. Thanks, F1 and Sam for teaching us more and more every race weekend.

Perfect weather to sbin 🙃

Thanks for the insight as always Marcelo 👍

Shot Sam, thanks for the great info. Hope to see you in many more vidoes🙌🏻

Me: a perfect video needs to have many different things in it Also me looking for 10 minutes at Sam Collins tech talking between two tyres: PERFECT VIDEO

Yet another amazing and informative video by Sam. F1, you need to get Sam brought in the live race coverage for additional technical coverage!

Fascinating info about cold cracking. Thanks!

I honestly love this guy! Great job, as always!

Great info, well presented. Well done mate!👍🇦🇺😎🏁

Such a detailed session! Impressive!!!

He explains like a Proffesor who has a PhD in Fluid dynamics😂

Great information in a great video. Thank you.

Love these episodes! So much information

Right on brother! We will get to see some real racing this weekend. Real race craft will be implemented with limited aero, careful overtakes, slow corners. I love it. This is a race for all constructors!

Great video. Keep them coming Sam.

Excellent video with excellent commentary

awesome technical analysis of the wet tyre!

0:31 And the Nurburgring in October could mean sunshine, rain, hail storms, snow, earthquakes, tornadoes and tsunamis

Props to Sam. Excellent on hooking us to "boring" details

Best man on earth to explain stuff !

Amazing video, thank you guys

Has to be one of the best new additions to F1, Sam is doing a remarkable job

Great Job explaining! Keep it up

85L/300kph = 2,15L/1roll or / 0,684125 m^2 = 3,077L/m^2 = 100x100x3cm puddle/m^2 so it can stand up to 3cm standing water

That was really informative... MORE!

No one can break the Winkelrock!

That's just great!! Congrats F1, keep this up.

Sam explains concepts like that one kind classmate you can always go to when you need help with homework.

I love this guy's subtle sarcasm

More Sam! He's the best. Is it possible to get a video explaining the wheel rims? We always hear about the tires but never about the wheels themselves.

Sam Collins, you are an expert I could listen to for hours. Cheers m8!

Awesome job! I insist!!! Best segment of the race weekends 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾

cheers man , this video explained a lot to me

Best F1 commentator. Give this man a promotion!

Please keep this series!!

F1 races are as interesting to me as a traffic jam. But the technology is fascinating, and Sam is brilliantly adding the bit that has been missing all these years from the show.

GREAT video, thank you.

Ahahahaha 10:12 "It's a really unusual race,not just because it's in Nurburgring,but also; because it's the Nurburgring.."

Great presentation.

Super super interesting this, thanks!

THANKS SAM!! as rain will fall tires slide on!

Not a single stutter or filler words like "aa" or "um", this guy is a beast.

Nice. The whole f1 technology, engine, tyre, etc is enormous complex. Explain how big amount of money they need to spend. And you, bro, know very well how they work . congrats.

I like the way this guy talks, also it's very interesting to learn more about this. But man if this lasted an hour and a half, with that voice, I would watch it all.

very informative great content!

Love these talks

Great video!!!

This series must stay for ever

I could listen to this guy talk for hours

come on buddy, a wonderful video like this deserves a continuation with another 50 minutes🙏😍, PLEASE😁 .... show the tires being made there at the Pirelli factory 😍🙏❤️

I love the Tech Talks

Could listen to this guy for hours

2:00 Btw larger contact area does not mean more grip per se. Area plays no role in friction, only friction coefficient (affected by compound) and normal force (weight + downforce) do. What does change when you increase the area is that your same friction is distributed over that larger area causing the surface to heat up less. Less heat means you can use a softer compound and THAT increases grip.

F1: So how do you do KZfaq? KZfaq: DUBSTEP! F1: OK!

It’s the first time I realize how big F1 tires really are

Mario isola, who is the Head engineer of Pirelli F1, said that if the temperature is too low (3-8c°) intermediate tyres will work better than soft, as they would better keep the temperature
