Imagine 20-30 years ago telling someone a car made by a drinks company would be the fastest in Formula 1, and James Bond's car would be the slowest

*binotto watching intensely*

The Aston has been pretty decent as of late, running in the midfield in most of the past few races. The Williams or even the Alfa has seemed quite a bit slower to me

Adrian Newey. The only man to see airflow and speak fluent air

So when is Scarbs officially joining Driver 61? The collabs are always super high quality with Scott!

Scarbs is a gift to the F1 world! Love hearing his perspective!

Ahhh yes, the green tractor

This aged good 6months later AM are second fastest

I'm glad you touched on buying in parts. If we aren't there already, we're very soon going to reach the point where only factory teams can compete for championships. It's true they've always had advantages, of course, but the effect seems magnified in this era - Red Bull stopped winning titles when Renault bought back in, and only started again when Honda switched to them. Makes me shudder to think of McLaren's future, and where they could have been had they stuck with Honda.

I understand about 25% of these explanations but I enjoy them 100% thank you

The problem of AM: Lawrence stroll. He’s limiting his employees in their creativity. F1 teams are a selection of people that are the top 1% in their expertise. You hire these people because of their quality, you need to trust them in what they do. LS probably is a good leader to a normal company but not for a F1 team. He’s the type that wants to be in control and he doesn’t avoid inflicting fear when he think he needs to. If you pay close attention to footage of him, you see people falling into silence when he enters the room. In a F1 team this is undesirable and it will choke people in their creativity. As an employee, if you’re afraid of making mistakes, the higher the chance you’re going to make them. He loves hierarchy but a team with so much talent in all areas should be more flat and accessible. He will never succeed as a F1 team owner Steve Jobs already said it once: “You don’t hire smart people to tell them what to do, you hire smart people so they can tell you what to do” Steve Jobs was really good at 3 things: - make beautiful looking products - extract as much as possible money from your wallet in shortest amount of time - selecting and managing the best people money could buy He would’ve been a better F1 team owner than LS

For people, who asked: But Williams is slower. Well yes, but actually not from car side, because they didn't do the tyre test last year, so they gap came from there, even I wouldn't say otherwise it would be a good mid field car, but it would be around Alpha Tauri and Haas.

established titles makes you an official Lord as much as I am an official F1 driver because I play F1 2022 on my pc

Throughout these developments, surprisingly I've never heard of any teams investigating the application of a Kline-Fogleman (stepped) airfoil for the underfloor. As wikipedia describes it, the purpose of the step is to allow some displaced air to fall into a pocket behind the step and become part of the airfoil shape as a trapped vortex or vortex attachment. This purportedly prevents separation and maintains airflow over the surface of the airfoil.

I'll have to say that some in-program ads make a lot more sense than others. Interesting to watch you pitch this one with a straight face.

This video has a lot of good points. An it’s also showed how much the budget cap has gone into effect. Where as before it was how much money you could throw at a car. To now where the people working within the team make the difference. An it really shows. Red Bull really is a great example of it regardless of how much you may hate or like them. Having a good challenging car in the past with no cost limit and always doing well against merc and Ferrari. Both teams that never struggled financially mind you. They really designed a great overall car with a great diver and team. It’s the perfect puzzle!

The only surefire way of being quick in F1 is to get Honda involved then wait until they quit. Guaranteed the following year's car will be the fastest on the grid.

As Gerhard Berger said about Mr. K(C)rack at his Performance with BMW in DTMchampship 2 Weeks before he joined Aston as Teamchef: "He does not know, why his driver qualified 2nd, and the next race he does not know, why his driver qualified in the last row" 😇😅

Dude I can’t believe you made me watch 2 minutes about on buying land in Scotland

Has any team ever tried a passive pushing wing-within the airbox, an inverted airfoil, trailing edge down, to leverage the incoming high-speed air....? And /or another (albeit not inverted), trailing edge almost fully up, just behind the diffusers?

So , got a new sponsor I see .New content 🤘🏼🏁thx

This really was a great explanation, and helped me understand Aston's issues. Sadly, it also reminded me that we will have to say goodbye to Sebastian Vettel soon 😔

1. I could listen to Scarbs say, “Vorticity” all day. 2. I wonder if RB dumping that hot dirty air straight back, rather than up and over the back of the wing, makes it any harder for other cars to follow… 🤔

How much of a factor is the RB gear ratios? It seems like they nailed that part of the equation too.

Great content! I am curious to know: 1 - your favourite brand 2 - your favourite team 3 - your favourite team boss 4 - your favourite driver

11:25 imo it looks a bit like doing a blown diffuser but on a spoiler and air is from radiators

Of the Mercedes supplied teams it's only McLaren that seems to be 'sort' of up there and that is just one McLaren F1 car since Ricciardo's is mostly going backwards. I would mainly put Aston's woes on the engine.

I'd say Alfa Romeo the stale mated their progress Zhou and valtteri were good in the first 5 races then they completely disappeared

I might be seeing something else with red bull, though I may well be wrong. The hot air coming out of the radiators is potentially lower pressure thanks to good ol' Boyle's law. Already lower pressure air run across the underside of the main plane of the rear wing should increase efficiency?

Love the Heston like frames Scarbs! Just can't see your eyes because of the screen reflection.

Aston Martin watched this video and took it personally. They are in the fight for 6th spot now.

Actually I don't think the AM is that slow when it's coming to race trim, but in qualifying they are just terrible. If they could make it into q2 a couple of times they might have a decent chance to drive into the points at least if the track suits the car a bit. But so far they mostly looked great in trainings and then shit the bed in qualifying and sat in some drs train in the race having a hard time to make any progress.

It's funny how the Aston Martin F1 car is called slow, yet is still one of the fastest race cars ever made.

Driven media also released a video, must watch after this.

How did the guy that won an f1 drive do? I can’t wait for the video!

Chrono GP have some of the best 3D animations, I recommend you have a look at them.

1:49 Mercedes PU be like hold my beer

3:18 8-cylinder motor there

Hi Scott how's Nigel doing, I still got one of his shirts. awesome sauce!!

What a great turnaround by the Aston they were 9th and rn are 7th and maybe 6th better than last year

The slowest is actually the Williams. On most tracks, it is slower on one lap than the Aston Martin and it generally has less race pace

Funniest thing is they both have almost the same car concept lol

At this point, you should just buy Scarbs a better mic? or a lavalier mic? lol with how often you're collabing with him. I always find the part where he speaks distracting because of how echo-y his sound is

the difference is resources. developing a great car is required a lot of resources. yes, cost cap is one way to reduce the resource gap between teams but resources not just talking about money but also infrastructure, man power, and years of experience.

Can anyone tell me where to find the clip of the red bull on 1:49

Nice demonstration on why copying the visible bits is usually not enough. I am surprised that more teams haven't played with the rake of their cars though. This has been a clear characteristic of Newey's car designs for RBR, and it is an important parameter in aero. Airplane pilots put the nose slightly up for a smoother flight. It would make sense that F1 cars, with aero working in the opposite direction, would also get a more stable ride with more rake. Yet no one seems to have copied it or played with it seriously 🤷‍♂

Great to see Lawrence Stroll, the bully's team used as the slow car.

The worst AM was only 1.4 seconds off fastest in Q1, and 2.7 seconds off the fastest in Q3 - there is not that big a difference between FAST and SLOW.

Yo. Can you have your audio guy get in touch with Peter Windsor's audio guy, and give him a clue, please? Scarbs is roughly the same volume as Scott in this video. Wild concept, I know.

Serious question: How does an engineer knows the car (design,aerodynamics,engine etc)so well if he never driven it?

Front wings on RB in the races look different than at the time of launch of the car. With a great car it is critical that the driver makes no mistakes. Max's driving has been absolutely flawless, smooth and therefore so quick. He has to put in much less steering than any other car.

So pink merk version 2.0 failed even if its br green and names Aston Martin,weird with them cause its around 15 years since they joined F1(different name but the same team) and yet they still act as a new team at times.

I know this is mainly about Aston Martin, but the car that I still rate highly is the Williams. After several seasons of having a brick of a car, they now have a nice slick design. It's true they could do with a little more downforce, but with a fundamentally ultra low drag car, it's very promising. You can bet they wish they still had Russell so they could see what it could achieve.

Aston are the 6th quickest car. You can’t use the argument of Red Bull might not have the quickest car for one lap but are the quickest race car and the completely disregard Aston’s race pace. They have shown over the last 3 months they’re 6th quickest

Aston Martin might as well be called Frankenstein.

So quit blaming the drivers, it's the car that's at fault.

Stroll will qualify far high up the grid in Singapore, with the slowest car on the grid. Mark my words.

Your the BEST Scott!

So when is Red Bull going to make a road car?

i bet that buying the rear suspension and gearbox from mercedes is causing alot of problems with the redbull like sidepods. merc is designed to be run as low as possible while redbull is somehow getting downforce with alot more ground clearance, they are completely different concepts and i think thats why aston is struggling.

So weird that Alonso is moving from the 4th best team to, arguably, the slowest.

This aged like warm milk

Aston Martin or should we say Lawrence Stroll is the best example why money can't always buy you pace. You need to build up a team that is capable of constantly adapting and improving the car and does understand every aspects of the car. Toto, Schumacher and Lauda build this Mercedes. Horner, Newey, Marko build this under Mateschitz. Especially RedBull Honda showed this. McLaren and Alonso constantly picked on Honda for not delivering, while Honda has asked for better conditions for the engine. They never could solve the problem and went separate ways. Horner told Honda they can go nuts with the engine as long as it stays reasonable and RB can fit the car around the engine and provide it with cooling, fuel ... etc. Boom Honda delivered arguably the best engine in the field. You also saw this at Ferrari when Arrivabene went they dropped a bit and when Covid and reconstructing the team under Binotto hit they fall apart for their standards. And with strategy they still have not recovered fully. Mercedes also lost some engineers Michael Schumacher brought in from his time at Ferrari because they retired. And they also dropped significantly. If you are allowed to go nuts with engineering on a car the team that can come up with the best ideas and execute them without error consistently will win the championship. If you have gremlins in your team it's like driving with a broken wing. Coming back to Aston Martin, if they had build a great team under Otmar Szafnauer instead of micromanaging people under Stroll they would have a much better car and a Vettel driving up there in the points would have stayed more likely. ^^ with Vettel and Alonso Aston Martin could fight for the title. No hate against Lance Stroll he can drive, but not to the extend of Vettel or Alonso.

Lets hope by 2024 they are an actual contender for the championship, as well with my hopes for McLaren!

Its funny how 2 cars of the same design cover the fastest and slowest car on the grid

I know this is like the least important thing there is to an F1 car, but I can't help but say it. I thought the AMR-22 with it's fat, undercut sidepods was beautiful. If they were going to still be doing bad in the races, I wish I could at least watch them do poorly in that car I liked to see on the track XD

I think Alphatauri is the slowest cars at now. It performs very well in qualy but race pace is awful. Nevertheless their results are not last because simply Gasly and Tsunoda do well. Aston was slowest before but in my opinion they got race pace.

I’m too dumb for this. Love it .

From Pink Mercedes to Green Bull There's only so much you can copy

I think a way better comparison would be RB vs AT since they use the same engines

I really liked the look of the original Aston

Formula one is my favourite sport, but it's such a problem when we only get three races in the last 9 weeks,

great content keep pushing

This hasn't aged very well 😂

Fernando is surely one of the most talented pilot, but must be one of the worst in choosing a team. He clearly could have got at least 2 more championship if he stayed in Ferrari for example. Now he goes from a rising Alpine to Aston Martin which is nose diving.

Can you make a video about quali vs race? Because ofcourse redbull has the fastest race car but i honestly believe ferrari is quicker on saturdays. Where does that difference come from?

Small differences - when you break budget cap and spend more money to develop car

I honestly think the AMR22-A was better than AMR22-B. It's clear that the B version has less downforce and more drag and although it's very good in low speed and tyre managemen , i think it's been a net lose. Cause with the lack of downforce they can't put the car in good positions in qualifying and the races are all recovery drives. The reason they changed the car design was that they couldn't run the car as low as they needed to extract the maximum performance and they thought by changing the design , they could generate the same downforce by being able to run the lower plus having better tyre wear and low speed performance. But i think it's clear that the car has more drag and less downforce and because of the lack of downforce , the can't put as much energy on the tyres , so as a result they can't qualify high up the grid and in the races they need to rely on seb to do some godly tyre management like silverstone and spa and austria.

Adrian Newey the real last airbender

You can carbon copy another competitors racecar, if you don't know how to set it up then that doesn't do you too well. Also, you could be like Ferrari and have an amazing package, but setup is difficult or maybe the engineers are not as good at race setup as Mercedes and Red Bull.

Would love if the videos was without music. The content is interesting by it self

Well I made them a championship contender on the f1 manager game.

i think they want to get higher downforce cause they driver driving style but the problem is they copied redbull but using merc rear end whic is where it didnt work look at mercs now cause they stick to one philoshopies they actually fast now

Well this aged well!😂 (the Aston being slow)

Maybe get the the guy a high quality mic if you have him in every video?

At 1:44 him saying in the back sounds like a duck

Tyres are the one thing touching the road..... *W13 has entered the chat!

just heard you go me my answer about you; you drove in the indy lights series. I always wondered where your technical knowledge of the cars and driving techniques were so extensive. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

Hold up, they were slower than F2 down the straights?? That's is ridiculous and embarrassing. Wow

So what we've learned from this video? Fast cars are fast and slow cars are slow 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Last minute christmas gift Dude its september

Bring back the world of very few rules and enormous variation in the vehicles. Indy is already a spec series, and F1 is slowly converging towards one. All the focus has to be on the little aero bobbles, because the drive train is more or less prescribed. Sigh.

Oh how things change

The second this dude says “when I was driving an f1 car” I’m clicking off

Established Titles (sponsor) appears to be quite a well known, semi-harmless scam?

Great video, although your sponsor Established Titles sounds like a scam. By that logic, every property owner in Scotland is considered a Lord / Lady and thats just sounds mental. It might be better to donate directly to charities.

Man, it feels like I'm watching a Scarbs channel instead of Driver 61. It seems like perspective that Scott offered on his own is gone.

Nothing to do with breaching the cost cap 🤐

Honestly has everyone some kind of amnesia? The Ferrari has been the best car this year so far, they just screwed everything up.. Redbull also had some reliability issues at the start of the season, Max had some DNF’s.. Spa and Monza were circuits everyone predicted Red Bull would shine, and they did. But Ferrari really had the better car overall, they just did everything wrong, and there were also some driver errors. Redbull has been really consistent and it paid off.

I hope next year is better for the competition
