100% disagree with the F2 statements. At least the 2019 intro had racing footage. Maybe it had some weird colour effects, but it had a decent amount of high impact racing footage, while the 2020 F2 intro has ZERO, and you want to rate it higher? Man at least be consistent. "I wish it had more rather than just acting like a feeder for F1", shows and intro with so much more, including crashes, and other good shots, but its terrible because of some maybe OTT effects? psh And on consistency, F1 do the same Driver against a green screen for most of the F1 intro, but IDK if its bias, but "woah that's great". Arguably, if you're judging it based on the popularity vs production value, F1 is massively under the competition, barely any racing shots. Your complaint of drivers against a green screen, folding their aarms.... come on. And the F1 song while great, according to your criticism isn't one of the lowest tempo songs out of all of them.

This guy is like the Tom Scott of Formula Racing.

Thanks for the great video Matt! This answers a question that I've had ever since I went to Silverstone and did the track invasion (after the race, completely legally). I noticed the holes on the grid boxes and the lines on the track and wondered what they were for. Now I know!

I was on a farm outside of Otorohanga in 2000 and they had an F1 grooved tyre on top of one of their silo pits.

They are sent to an incinerator after each race.

Glad I have my Goodyear Eagle F1 tyre as a coffee table (used for a test session at Silverstone 1994 by Tyrell purchased in 1997 )

A Tire?

1.5 seconds is a year in formula 1

This makes Frenzen, Villeneuve and Schumacher’s identical pole time even more insane

Quando o canal @canaleffe1 disse certa vez…. Os canais gringos de formula 1 são 10000000000000X MELHOR do que os nossos canais, os criadores de conteúdo brasileiros so pegam noticias de site e ficam lendo e debatendo… Nao há um conteúdo criativo, explicativo e curioso igual esse ai…

Ellijah woods Brother?🙃🤣

i think drifters use it)))))

Hi Matt, first time I have watched this video - very informative. I was wondering if the F1 teams have the ability to talk to the driver in a private conversation mode. In other words that conversation is Digitally Voice Protected (DVP) and anyone scanning that channel whilst in private mode would only receive 'White Noise'. Would be quite an advantage when talking strategy, tyres Pit Stop timings - would prevent other teams knowing what they are going to do next.

4:55 FYI you want to use filler primer to do this, and not just regular paint primer. Filler primer will fill gaps with the putty, and not paint.

So 600 tires on a given race week? Wow

I have an unused competition Pirelli medium tyre on a 13inch Enkei front rim from a Mclaren Mp4-26 that I made into a table. I made a base for it and put some 6 inch legs on it, LED lights in the middle of the rim and a glass top. It looks great

Before they cut tire beads, race car tires could be found. I got mine for free for years from the Parnelli Jones Firestone store in Torrance. Then things got tough with Firestone orders to cut beads. But I made friends with mechanics there and could usually find tires for my old street driven corvette.

I would love to have a used F1 ype.

F1 loves complicated unnecessary money waisting procedures and process

Such a waste of tyres that aren't put to use. You would think how much they want to get to "Net Zero" that they would fix this.

In the late 1960s in Los Angeles we would go to the back door of Shelby enterprises,,$40 a tire for used road racing slicks, we told them we were using them at Lions drag strip four our street drag cars,,well that's at least what we told them...

That raw materiel is VERY proprietary to say the least! It would be extremely careless of Pirelli to just hand their competitors their cutting edge technology as a souvenir. 😉

Another reason why F1 is a bullshit monopoly that wrap themselves up on 'we are all about going Green" statements. What a con game.

So the FIA has the same replacement policy as Discount Tire: “Oh, you have a thumbtack in a single tire? It’s dangerous to replace just one and can’t patch it, so you need to buy 4 new tires.” *This is a joke, obviously race cars need matched tires. Please don’t @ me about how I don’t know anything about tires. Just a comment about how commercial tire shops try to boost their own sales.

Wind tunnel tyres £999 ouch

Yeah. Watch babies drive around. They don't want to drive in wets they drive with fuckton of electronic assist no overtakes boring overpriced entitled that is F1.

Dude u sld also check what F! helmets are done after a race weekend, each driver has 3 new helmets each race...would be an interesting video...plz consider looking into it

🗨️🚗

It’d be cool if teams could mix match different tire grades when they’re racing. Example being hards on the front and mediums on the rear. It’d make tire selection strategy so super interesting

Great info and details, imagine BUBBA I mean NASCAR trying to pull off this balancing act...

Rodin Cars are also a great option. The options they have, the work that's gone in to redesigning what was the old Lotus is crazy.

F1 is wasteful as FK.

If f.e bridgestone wants an F1 tire they get one......

Do the tyres come out of the teams budgets? If so what happens to the cost of the unused tyres does the money just go to Pirelli back pocket

I know where there shredded I have worked on the machinery that dispose of them , there no chance to get a tire perrelle have a man on site watching the process of being disposed of and dosnt leave till there shredded

Man you must use alot of sharpies lol

Well i think those tires are "retired"

Having one tire company stinks of corruption. Why not let all the tire companies battle it out? This is also so wasteful to have so many tires.

Goodyear gives them away at nascar and Nhra

I'm sorry but no matter how hot you burn the shredded tires you will have CO2 as a minimum unless they are recapturing it.

Interesting video but what the hell is Formmla 1?

F1 has been ruined by Pirelli's useless tyres that go off so quickly. Drivers should be racing hard, not managing their tyres.

I mean yeah you could look at it as Pirelli protecting their intellectual property. Or you could see it as Pirelli protecting their monopoly on the market.

I've got a rear tyre and rim from Theo Fabi's 1986 Benneton.

FOM hardwire every circuit with miles of cables,..They must love street circuits,...😆

When F1 can go just one week without some sort of headline making controversy I will tune in again. There's nothing more aggravating than the constant fake outrage and crying and whining on Mondays. Same for Nascar and Indycar. Anything for a headline like lying cheating stealing whining scumbag republicans do on a daily basis. We live in a world where any headline is a big seller lie or not. It isn't just entertainment anymore.

2:58 This part of tires as a set, is crucial to understand that when a driver flat spots a front tire, they essetially screw up an entire set of tires.

To make the racing more interesting...teams should be able to use their own tyre brand.😊

Tires are filled with Nitrogen not Air !
