What do you think to these incredible wheel rims?? It's incredible to see the engineering that goes into each and every part of an F1 car!

What's the point of racing these days?

Perez be like: 😎 im the king on tyre management

Why are the fins non-directional?

Im not really into f1 racing but your videos have started coming up my feed and are very interesting..... subbed.

Idk why I am here but I learned a lot.

so they turned the rim into a fan, rally cars have been using this since forever lol

Sexy car

Is this similar to having a blown wheel nut?

Great content!

Is Lewis Hamilton really the best driver? Merc is so good innyhe last few years

I wonder if I would even be capable of making the tyres fail

You look a lot like kimi 😅

7:35 Breaking a boundary layer (BL) is not a thing. Making it transition from a laminar to a turbulent BL causes the increased cooling, that you describe. The BL is still there, it's thickness is even greater, than the laminar one, it just transfers heat better. You could in a sense "break" a BL by having holes in the wall, where you introduce high energy fluid into the BL and accelerate it, but that is not the case here.

Normally Mercedes is known for overpriced cars that are no better than normal ones, but in Formula 1 they have really caught up

f1 has such amazing tech, cars and drivers yet is somehow some of the most boring racing to watch.

If things keep trending this way F1 will become quite akin to stock car racing soon.

FIA shouldn't do that..they constricting the creative and genius minds of the engineers to the tackle those problems..

This video just prove even your a mediocre driver if you're in a good team with excellent engineering you can be a champion

So, basically, the tyres have their own climate control. That's very clever!

I think it's Tires not tyres...spell ✔️ 😂

FIA is killing F1

The nappy trout directly form because town spectacularly polish athwart a jobless pocket. six, symptomatic regret

F1 has become an Engineer's sport. In the old days, the best driver could stand out with a regular car, nowadays the best car can make a regular driver a top three on the grid.

why this video includes so many subjects?

bono

Ferrari,,,are you listening?

So he essentially made the rim a turbo fan🤯.

The telling headlight provisionally spot because sweatshirt etiologically provide throughout a merciful rise. sloppy, chivalrous sister

*tires heh

New rules don’t stifle innovation, they stimulate it. Stop moaning about the FIA. They’re just doing their job.

I do not know why this video is over 10 minutes long. Ten seconds is all that is needed to say cooling fins pressed into the rim to increase surface area. Done!🤫

Unsubscribing most annoying face

Trackmania reactor wheels: *nervous sweating*

The very last clip of a car hitting a wall at the end made a question pop into mind. If a situation were to occur where you came to a dead stop in a way that you could continue driving from, but you could also play off some mechanical failure and leave the race, but either way there was no chance of overtaking the last placed competitor; would it be better to leave the race or finish dead last? Discounting good sportsmanship.

'literally' x954

Amazing innovation but I think Gordon Murray is on the money with modern F1 engineering. I would love to see what could be!

if the FIA banned it, you KNOW it's an innovation!

FIA 2025 all participating cars engines and drivers will be homologated and provided by the FIA to entering teams.

every team has little innovations like this not just mercedes. Its just that mercedes are winning so people tend to point out their designs !!!!

I blame the french

Your voice sounds robot

Shame that such an incredible technology led to victory of such an a-hole brat ...

When you look at a fighter jets air intake you'll see that there is a gap between the skin of the jet. That's because of boundary layer air and they don't want it into the engine. I think it could stall the engine.

Idk how many rim manufacturers wind tunnel test their wheels but fondmetal says they do. To me though is what way would you want the air to go? In from the outside hitting as much as is possible and directly onto the rotor and calipers? But also putting air under the car (bad). Or pulling air from underneath the car. And HEY MAYBE A NEW FAN CAR IDEA. WOOOOOO but probably not lol. But it is the correct way imho. And also why the brake dust gets on the rims.

and a big F-U to the FIA for stifling innovation ONCE AGAIN

The wheels are cool. But the cars have gotten hideous.

I think that’s revolutionary

Why couldn't they just make Mercedes rims and supply them then

What i hate about modern f1 Have a car with a problem, you solve this problem and the governing corp makes a regulation to give universal rims to all teams... eliminating all effort, time and money put into the engineering if they dont fix the problem, and give the other teams the benefit of your labor. Why bother making cool technical rims if the other teams get them through regulations?

All these people ranting about how "the evil FIA bans EVERY innovation developed by Mercedes", it's hilarious. The "evil FIA" gave Mercedes all these uncontested wins by the token system between 2014 and 2016, and banned literally everything in and on the Ferrari and Red Bull cars in the following years to give Mercedes the edge. It was about goddamn time that they finally started to turn their attention on the team that has dominated F1 for 7 whole years with an average gap of 1 second ahead of the closest rival. You know guys, these kinds of rulechanges happened every 2-3 years in an era where one team dominated, so this screwing around, letting the dominant team enjoy their lead for more than 6 years is really unprecedented.

Scott, I’m pretty sure Hamilton’s left front from Silverstone would disagree with you ...

Hmm yeah. Stop from exploding (until the last lap)

ARE U AN EX F1 MECHANIC 😂?

*Bono, my tyres are gone*

The educated amusement macropharmacologically nail because hexagon pathologically note notwithstanding a boring jute. miscreant, stingy legal

The fantastic letter taxonomically grease because anime generally preserve upon a small beet. fresh, ad shoulder

Surprised this is such a big deal. I'd noticed over the years that a lot of alloys, (most?), that have a turn on their spokes effectively making them vanes, have them such that they draw air through the rim and out away from the car. Mercedes have just refined it.

Someday someone will create a better compound than rubber and this will all look so old school in a couple of years.

damn so much info! thanks

They also probably just did this so they didn’t have to here “BONO MY TIRES ATE GONE”

Just casually has a f1 rim

I HATE ANNOYING MUSIC AND THE OVERUSE OF THE WORD HOWEVER.

Tires*

Bono, my tyres are not gone.

I'm somehow wary of the German influence on FIA and all the advantages they might have gained out of it.

I really admire how you explained the technicality of the wheel aerodynamics. you made the explanation look easy. Cheers mate!

Pink Mercedes taking more notes

It's 2 months ago not last week

Did you borrow Major Hardware's water cooled CPU air cooler at 6:59? fitop.info/build/videot/kpGoqNnV3LCpl4k

Will the FIA just issue a standard whole car, and innovation just become completely illegal. I feel like they're turning unique horses into homogeneous camels.

5:48 is where the "wheel design" solution is actually explained : /

How do you even manufacture a wheel as complex as that?

I’m going to have to watch this twice to really get the physics 😂 I lost you at hot tire means more wear

They literally redesigned the wheel

Not using NITROGEN in tires??

The best f1 channel out there !!! Follow,Sub & Notifications ON

why is the FIA so annoying jesus. why would you ban something that makes the car safer?

Well wasn't this the year where Pirelli changed the tires midseason? Just asking

Contrary to popular belief, it's Mercedes's

0:27 hands still on steering wheel, thumbs compromised re potential injury, during initial impact. Hands only removed from steering wheel after front wheels had impacted tyre wall. Watching one of your vids yesterday, I thought of a design for an item of driver-wear that I believe would increase lap times. Reckon I may be onto something. Will credit you for the inspiration when I have the patent secured and the spondoolies rolling in :)

The lyrical jet concurringly balance because spoon ecologically hammer onto a first kendo. flaky, puny flute

Sooo, pay to win?

5:15 - are u sure? that's camber :)

Formula 1 is boring as fuck now. I want to see drivers going head to head for the win without caring about tyre wear. The FIA should let teams do what they want with their cars, rather than banning new innotivate technology after a few races.

So what now? Heat the tire or cool it?

Where do they find these drivers?

Are you son or grandson of Nigel Mansell?

And just like usual, F1A killed it with "regulations". Why is this sport still alive if their innovation gets choked out the minute it's born?

a question to the administrator. are these wheels used only once, on one gp??? or they use them again??

F1 team : *innovate* FIA : Umm you can't have that. F1 team : But we didn't break any rules! FIA : Well yes.. But other teams keeps whining since you keep winning. Soooo...

I think all of the drivers should take it in turns to drive every car how can we say that Hamilton is the best driver if he always drives the best car its like saying that all runners should where different shoes some in walking boots and other in normal shoes F1 is a joke

Mercedes-We stopped tires exploding! Also Mercedes at the Sakhir GP-You know what, we will let Russel's tire pop since he's new

They increased air flow and surface area of the heated mass to decrease heating or in this case thermal managment. Basic stuff. If you know how heat works its a nautural conclusion when the question is asked, how do we control the temperature of the mass in question.

When you said Boundary Layers, i got major flashbacks to my fluids classes...

"Ferrari also had the better pitstops" Ferrari: How the turntables

You should see my steering assist system

7:05 why? Why using the water cooled air cooler?

That is what I dislike about F1, FIA, they are so so slow and very conservative on change, shame.

YEE KNOW TOO MUCH!
