THE FOURTH ELEMENT: F1 Mercedes W15 with Scarbs by Peter Windsor

After two years in the doldrums have the Mercedes design team finally found a sweet spot? Craig Scarborough's first impressions of the new W15 are positive - and he's intrigued, too, by the "0.1" fourth element on the front wing (which may or may not be legal).

I love how peter asks specific questions and then just lets scarbs answer without interruption. Brilliant interviewer

[TheIceMan]

Scarbs should be a regular on this channel.

😀I love hearing Scarbs' commentary - No one seems quite so well informed and experienced. Thank you Scarbs and Peter!

[Vegenks]

I like how openly they shared the idea it's like a competitive way to allow brainstorming across the grid which can benefit all teams in terms of creativity

[LisztyLiszt]

Great stuff, lads. Would be great to hear Scarbs's insight during the season too.

Peter Windsor x Scarbs video means the F1 season is truly starting

[melesmeles]

Essential viewing. Thank you so much Peter for bringing Scarbs on the show.

[MattGP]

Scarbs: Lots of technical insight.
Me: Looks a lot like the West McLaren Mercedes liveries.
Amazing how much we don't know as fans, therefore, thank you for bringing this content to us!

Hi Peter, Excellent commentary as usual. The combo of you and scarbs is the very best at explaining all things F1. Thank you for all you do for our better understanding.
Question: If the Mercedes is able to compete with Red Bull, and is better than the Ferrari (and possibly even wins the championship this year), do you think it's possible for Hamilton to reverse his decision and stay with Merc for 2025?

[raydriver]

Top marks. As always, thank you for your insight 🌞

[skister]

I could listen to you and Scarbs all day.
All facts no waffle on this channel.

[Carbonarars]

Best F1 content online (at least in English, not sure about other languages as I don’t understand them)

Don't disagree with the list of issues that Scarb's mentions about he W14, but the key issue for me was that it was draggy in a straight line. It wasn't easy to drive but it was competitive in mid-speed corners. It just didn't have the flat out straight line speed of its rivals. Hopefully the sidepod changes and the floor will cure some of this, along with the rear changes to fix its problems in the low-speed corners.

That front wing thing is a bit cheeky but clever!

[martinh]

As Scarbs said, James Allison is back as Technical Director so the 2024 F1 car is 'his'.
Also, good to know that this seat position is comfortable for Lewis.

(By comparison, if I recall correctly, the design of the 2022 and 2023 cars was led by A N Other. And although cautious of what I read, I'm led to believe that some of Lewis's input to the layout/design of those cars was over-ruled. Apologies if I'm wrong).

We should really appreciate Scarbs content. He should be on serious money at any F1 team
