0:53 no, KERS does not convert the heat of the brakes into energy. It works by taking the kinetic energy of the spinning wheels and converting it into another form of energy. It's basically working the same way as today's MGU-K. Much like it, this could be connected to a battery, but back in '09, it could technically be another form of energy storage, like a flywheel.

One of the greatest innovations in motor racing was thought of by Ray Harrom in the Marmon Wasp, at the 1911 Indy 500. By the simple expedient of attaching a mirror to the Wasp, he was able to dispense with the so-called Riding Mechanic. There were no spanners carried on board, his sole purpose was to inform the driver of any car getting close enough to be a threat, and on which side that was coming from. By doing away with the weight of the " mechanic" he won the inaugural race. Since then every race car has had mirrors.

@attheratehandle Жыл бұрын
Not utilizing a riding mechanic certainly played a pivotal role, but other factors should be considered too. Indianapolis was his favorite racecourse, and he prided himself on prudent race-craft. In an era of thrill seeking daredevil race drivers, Ray Harroun was more a thinking man's racer. As an engineer, his pre-race planning led him to secretly consult with Firestone engineers about tire wear and overall longevity over the course of 500 miles. Their collective assessment was to keep it under 80mph to prevent excessive tire wear. With that in mind, he averaged 74.6mph over the 500 mile, seven and a half hour race. He went thru four right rears, and never needed to change the other three tires. His fellow participants averaged 11 pit stops each. As well known as his effort was, I feel he's STILL under rated, under appreciated.

@@akmal94ibrahim Right. But for the turbo for example, it wasn't only safety. The real safety problem due to the turbos back then were the qualifying engines delivering more than 1000 BHP. They had already found a solution to this issue in 1988 adding a poff-off valve to reduce the power even during the race. But they maint&ained the ban on the turbo the following year anyway due to a fundamental reason: the devlopement cost which was enlarging the gap between top teams and the rest of the grid threatening the small teams, the show and the sport future in general. That was one of the best FISA decisions. Immediatly, from the start of the 1989 season, there were so many new teams and engine constructors entries, and the gap between the teams in general tightened. The other argument against turbos was that this technology was not used yet that much on production cars. Well, times change, now it's all different. The use of turbos is relevant from an energy and cost saving POV, the technology has come a long way and is largely used on roads, safety has evolved dramatically, and at the end the use of turbos is now mandatory in F1 anyway, so it won't have a negative impact on competitivness of small teams knowing they all have to use them

They work via the exhaust gas pressure passing by turbine blades (hence turbo), spinning a rotor on an axle, which turns a compressor to produce intake overpressure (hence charger).

Honestly the genius of active suspension was not that it refined the ride-height but that it redistributed the burden of the lost grip that caused to the less grip limited corners of the car, a process only really perfected by Williams' FW14B. Before then it was always a bit of a clumsy compromise which is why most teams just didn't bother with it before 92/93. Instead there were other small but clever innovations like the MP4-6 being fitted with manual ride-height adjustor that allowed the car to be dropped lower at the driver's command.

One of the greatest innovations in motor racing was thought of by Ray Harrom in the Marmon Wasp, at the 1911 Indy 500. By the simple expedient of attaching a mirror to the Wasp, he was able to dispense with the so-called Riding Mechanic. There were no spanners carried on board, his sole purpose was to inform the driver of any car getting close enough to be a threat, and on which side that was coming from. By doing away with the weight of the " mechanic" he won the inaugural race. Since then every race car has had mirrors.
Ah yes, the exact moment when the engineer entered the playground.
Not utilizing a riding mechanic certainly played a pivotal role, but other factors should be considered too. Indianapolis was his favorite racecourse, and he prided himself on prudent race-craft. In an era of thrill seeking daredevil race drivers, Ray Harroun was more a thinking man's racer. As an engineer, his pre-race planning led him to secretly consult with Firestone engineers about tire wear and overall longevity over the course of 500 miles. Their collective assessment was to keep it under 80mph to prevent excessive tire wear. With that in mind, he averaged 74.6mph over the 500 mile, seven and a half hour race. He went thru four right rears, and never needed to change the other three tires. His fellow participants averaged 11 pit stops each. As well known as his effort was, I feel he's STILL under rated, under appreciated.
He also invented the open wheel car
The Renault's R25 Mass Dumper and active suspension would marry perfectly with this year's car...

It makes sense. New technologies are, by their nature, hard to understand. It wasn’t that F1 was wrong to ban them, it was just that they were banned until they were well understood enough to be effectively regulated.
@@Llanowar_Kitten True. The main reason for the bans were safety. Now that safety technology has come up and regulations tighten to make cars safer to race, they are now able to implement those innovations without compromising safety
@@akmal94ibrahim Right. But for the turbo for example, it wasn't only safety. The real safety problem due to the turbos back then were the qualifying engines delivering more than 1000 BHP. They had already found a solution to this issue in 1988 adding a poff-off valve to reduce the power even during the race. But they maint&ained the ban on the turbo the following year anyway due to a fundamental reason: the devlopement cost which was enlarging the gap between top teams and the rest of the grid threatening the small teams, the show and the sport future in general. That was one of the best FISA decisions. Immediatly, from the start of the 1989 season, there were so many new teams and engine constructors entries, and the gap between the teams in general tightened. The other argument against turbos was that this technology was not used yet that much on production cars. Well, times change, now it's all different. The use of turbos is relevant from an energy and cost saving POV, the technology has come a long way and is largely used on roads, safety has evolved dramatically, and at the end the use of turbos is now mandatory in F1 anyway, so it won't have a negative impact on competitivness of small teams knowing they all have to use them

It's still unclear for me why this active suspension was banned. There's some 300 sensors on modern F1 cars. Why not make maximum use of it?
Because the teams started to pre-program every turn into the suspension routine and that involved gear changes, engine mapping, braking, traction control, ride height, and every other driver aid imaginable. Policing all that became impossible as the ride height saga proved, they ran crazy low on track and high at the minimum when passing the control blocks at the entrance of the pits.
It's a shame that, with every tiny detail of the cars so heavily regulated now, we may never see such huge leaps again.
Anyone else here on a non race week
Was wondering when carbon fibre would be mentioned. Turns out it was #1. Surprisingly, no mention of traction control, which was legal for a while.
The days when teams were experimenting, discovering and introducing new tech made f1 so hugely interesting. Car designs could he so radically different, and leaps in tech so significant Now with the teams being so closely matched in tech makes it completely different, I can see why so many say its boring for them.
Yes, the most fascinating element in F1 for us as kids back then was the empirical research. Testing revolutionary and original ideas in real life, rather than simulating them on softwares and making them already so complicated before a very few of them arrive on track, all following a very strict rule book.
@@ulysse21 definitely agree mate.

I'm very surprised Harvey Postlethwaite's Tyrrell 019 wasn't mentioned here. The raised nose design in 1990 was the first of it's kind, and defined F1's aerodynamic appearance for THIRTY years! By the end of 1996 every car on the grid had a raised nose, and had it not been for the 2022 rule changes, the design would have continued into the foreseeable future.
"Aimed at closing up the competition in 2009..." How well did that go then?
By the 2nd half of the season, it went decently well. Lets forget about the first half though😶🌫️
Other cars did manage to catch up to them in the 2nd half, but the lead they got in the first half was massive
Surprised these weren't banned immediately like actual innovations like active suspension, which has been proven to save lives.
F1 : we're the most technologically advanced form of racing. Also F1 : let's ban that, let's slow these cars down.
Regarding the Ferrari 640 - the reliability problems of that car had nothing to do with the gearbox. Barnard himself has said that the problem ultimately turned out to be the alternator - it wasn't supplying the car with enough electric charge (which would cause the new gearbox to fail). The gearbox worked just fine if the car's electrical systems were being properly supplied.
Chapman was an ingenious car designer and engineer. Someone we don't often talk about. Britain should be proud of having some of the best engineers in F1 history
Turbos don't use heat energy🤣 they use exhaust flow to spin a turbine
The flow is the result of heat energy expanding a gas volume. You will find the temperature of said gas drops significantly after going through the turbine.

" ON HIS RETURN TO THE UK HE HOOKED UP WITH NEW MCLAREN BOSS RON DENNIS" I have absolutely no idea what iam supposed to make of that language😂😂
This should be the Colin Chapman list, man was such a pioneer in f1 history
Getting lapped cars our of the way on the last lap should be considered an innovation. Massi should be on this list somewhere. I'm looking forward to the 2022 season where last laps will only involve the leading cars. Forget the first 50 laps.
Let it go, mate.
7:50 Turbochargers do NOT work by "reusing heat energy from the exhaust" blah blah. They work via the exhaust gas pressure passing by turbine blades (hence turbo), spinning a rotor on an axle, which turns a compressor to produce intake overpressure (hence charger). This sort of fundamental mistake by a narrator is what happens when a person is hired for their voice to read a script that was written by videographers.
In a turbo charger system you cannot separate heat and flow. They are integrally linked.
Wow so many brilliant people 👏 amazing designs and ideas, truly impressive
2:05 Kimi is such a gentleman. He took his gloves to shake hand. No one else would do this these days.
How does that make him a gentlemen?
The semi-automatic gearbox was actually invented by Forghieri. Barnard just copied and readjusted the old project
07:52 turbo chargers don't use the heat from exhaust to create power, they use exhaust _pressure_ to spin the turbine that creates greater than 1 atmosphere of air being _forced_ into the engine (hence *_forced induction_* )
Always great to see how many unexpected innovations were realised in F1. One annoying thing; who picks the awfully and annoying background music for clips like this.. voice over and engine noise, what more do we need?
Love how they added the kerb vs kers radio chat.
If the monocoque was invented today in F1, FIA would ban it.
A superb video. Beautifully edited and great off screen comments.
Can you make top 10 of genius team principals please
1500hp monsters in the mid 80's. yellow teapot is still the laughing stock in the paddock. It was the 639 that won on debut at rio in 1989. The 640 was introduced later in the year with the full airbox.
Imagine how the 2010 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix would’ve went if drs was around at that time
Stop giving me hope.
We wouldn't remember it. Overtaking does not equal racing.
@@X8X8X8X8X8X8X8X8X8X equal racing would only work if the fia issued the same car to every team
Fantastic presentation, perfect diction, a pleasure to watch. Well done.
This shows that Formula 1 is less about the drivers and more about the engineers designing a car within the regulations
and the rules are bs
It's sad to see that Lotus isn't even in F1 anymore given that they came up with the most innovations
would rather have active suspension instead of KERS.
Imagine Merc with DAS and active suspension. Yeah
No-limits kers would be awesome, including front wheel harvesting and deployment. The efficiency would go from 50 to 75 in no time.
Idk how Turbo-Hybrid is a Innovation considering that you put Turbo and Hybrid already onto the list. Also how is it higher than Semi-Automatic
Great video very important innovations in formula 1 we don't know till now thanks ❤️ eagerly waiting for for Bahrain grand prix
Are you trying to tell me that many drivers have won world championship only because their cars were much better than the opposition?
Yes, the quality of the cars are part of the sport
Is that sarcasm?
"aerodynamics are for people who cant build engines." - Enzo Ferrari (i seem to remember)
Also said " The horses pull the carriage, not push them".

CONGRATULATIONS ON 7,000,000 SUBSCRIBERS @FORMULA 1 🎉🎉🎉
Honestly the genius of active suspension was not that it refined the ride-height but that it redistributed the burden of the lost grip that caused to the less grip limited corners of the car, a process only really perfected by Williams' FW14B. Before then it was always a bit of a clumsy compromise which is why most teams just didn't bother with it before 92/93. Instead there were other small but clever innovations like the MP4-6 being fitted with manual ride-height adjustor that allowed the car to be dropped lower at the driver's command.
Yes, one of the many innovations of another genious, Gordon Murray
The more I see them, the more I think the new cars are some of the most beautiful ones in F1's history!
Turbo hybrid is Le Mans innovation, not F1
The cars of the 70s with their phat rear tyres look absolutely savage and look at those rims on the '68 Lotus @ 17:21 gorgeous cars the lot of them
Love the top10's 🙏
F1 : We want to be Carbon neutral. Also F1 : Our #1 Technical revolution is… Carbon Fibre…
Pastor Maldonado revolutionized crash tests. That was missing from the video. :v 😂
Rosanna, there's a very noticeable echo of your voice in this video. Maybe turn the mic gain -10db because the studio in which you're recording maybe not optimal with acoustics.
6:20 - Quite possibly the best ever F1 designer standing next to the best ever F1 driver...
