Speed in miles, distance in meters… ah the complete insanity that is Britain. Home.

4:13 "esteban particularly likes it really hard" pause a second in realization of what he said, then recuperates, stays composed and kept on explaining 🤣🤣

3:03 So what you're saying is that there is an HD collection of drivers' feet scans?

biggest thing I'd love to see aero wise is a wind tunnel walk around of some classic f1 cars, give some true visualisation of the different philosophies and strategies used over the years.

Any update on the driving upside down car?

I was very fortunate and got a paddock pass in Austin. During the Aston Martin garage tour they mentioned that the brake pads are $20k-$25k each and that they replace them once a day. So that's over a quarter of a million just on brake pads for a race weekend.
@FlyingShotsman
Scott, I'd love to see an episode about the telemetry and driver/team communication systems between the cars, pit wall and factory. What do the radios look like, what sensor data are uplinked, how is it processed and displayed to the teams, what comms are done in the background (i.e. without driver knowledge) and which are done via voice and require driver action. Thanks for the great content!
@kadmow
- floating brake disks - the ultimate at that level is seen in a multi-disk backage on a large aircraft brake - alternating rotor and stator disks - inner vs outer splined - just like a multiplate clutch (the overlap at the top of the game between brakes and clutches

3:20 that's one hell of a subtitle

The caliper is a work of art
@engineeringworld.
F1 brakes don’t just slow the car, they bend reality. Wild how stopping is just as much an art form as going fast. Imagine trusting your life to a carbon disc thinner than a pizza slice at 300 km/h
@Umski
No mention of the pads?
@geirmyrvagnes8718
I always keep a pristine white bench vise around as a prop for an improvised and natural comment about how brake calipers work.
@squidcaps4308
The 180kg force is a bit misleading. The force they use is not just them pushing on the pedal, it is heavily influenced by the G-forces in play. So it is more like holding three times their bodyweight, it is not pushing 3 people off the ground with one leg. And they rarely hit the maximum. But even when you take away the misleading statements, it is still a hell of a lot of force they have to exert and they need to do that for 90 minutes. I wish they stopped saying that it takes X kg when that X kg isn't all done by the driver and when that X kg is done once in the whole fucking season... It just gives the wrong idea. The truth here is easily impressive enough: you or i will not be able to the same. We might have enough strength to push that pedal to about what it needs but we will not be able to do it multiple times in succession. About a decade ago i could've probably hold two people and take a step or two, and then my legs would've just given up. It is the amount of repetition they are able to do at around 90-120kg and still have great precision that is really impressive, and they do not have massive legs either. It is very compact strength.

Absolutely fascinating, brilliantly edited and presented, as we have come to expect from you. Thank you.

10:35 My background is building and maintaining rally cars and even back in the '80s we were using fully floating discs.
