The aerodynamics were fascinating! But there is still plenty of room to make another video on the topic of F1 engine/powerplant innovations :)

[samzong]

Every one else: KERS
Why isn’t anyone talking about active suspension? That shit was used in road cars as well

[FreedominThought]

the animations were beautifully done. really helped make the explanations clear, great work!

[demeter]

There is a difference between KERS and cars

[bongan]

KERS - Kinetic Energy Recovery System... Invented earlier than I thought

[luchacefox]

What are Kerrs? You keep saying that.

[edoardobattaglia]

Science: aerodynamics is fundamental in cars.
US: Ford Mustang, Dodge Charger, Chevrolet Camaro...

5:25 bruh, imagine surviving all that spinning around without tipping over, only to have your neck snapped by smashing backwards into a wall.

10:15. I couldn’t agree more. That is why I love Endurance Racing, with IMSA and WEC, the racing is more focused on the companies instead of the drivers. The HUGE problem with modern racing is that there are FAR too many restrictions, and worse yet. The BOP, which slows cars down for being too good. Racing should be the opposite of that. Teams should be congratulated for creating better cars, not beat down. Hopefully with the new Hypercar class in WEC, it will usher in a new era of racing, with the speed of modern cars, but with the Level of innovation of racing from 20 years ago

KERS is making it into some high end production cars now too.

"The Greatest Innovations In F1" Proceeds to make the first example about LeMans

KERS = Kinetic Energy Recovery System - used to be used in F1 as essentially a “speed boost” that could be used in a limited per-lap allocation.

Was anyone else disappointed that this didn't get into much depth about carbon fiber?
Ah well, something to look forward to in the next video I guess.

[spacewalker]

I seriously love your videos! it makes me so happy that I am pursuing a career in mechanical engineering. Also I completely agree with you; I love racing, but my love is more towards the amount engineering people have put into these cars.

Thanks for the info!
As a 50yo engineer and race enthusiast, I am embarrassed to reveal that I've NEVER heard of Michael May's Porsche 550. This is a remarkable event. Think of what development could have been made sooner if the powers that be weren't afraid of something they couldn't understand. Same goes for the Brabham.

[danielvandersall]

God, it's so great to hear the old engines instead of the current embarrassing vacuum cleaners. Thanks.

5:28 can we just take a moment to appreciate how the car just bounces straight off the wall

[kreativenarciso]

I would just like to say, I enjoyed the hell out of this. Thank you for your hard work, and extremely high production quality. You have an amazing production team <3

YES YES YES YES
I love F1 and I love this channel. This video is perfect.
