Have you ever wondered why Lewis Hamilton complains about tires after 50 miles while your tires can do over 50,000? How can road tires and F1 tires be so different? In this episode we dive into the the high stresses an F1 tire needs to withstand, the difference in the chemical composition of tires, and the incredibly precise engineering that goes into one of Formula 1's most controversial subjects, tire failure. If you like the smell of burnt rubber in the morning, this video is for you!

well this is the best engineering. makes sense although accounting for inevitable random factor, the car could very well fall to pieces right before the finish line on the next race. but here we're not talking about engineering to get the best performance but the opposite. force performance degradation by some rules. sounds like having tires that could last a whole race would not make it much slower and could allow more strategies. plus making engineering work towards improving tires instead of artificially reducing longevity. right now electric racing class sound more exciting regarding to the real-life improvements they could eventually bring

16:26 YES it does. Undercut and overcut strategies go a long way in determining who wins the race. Pitstop timing will also come into play. When safety cars pull up, that's an opportunity for the racers and teams to change their strategy to get the optimum tire for the rest of the race. Weather changes like rain and dry also play a huge role in determining what tire strategy they are willing to choose. This opens up the grid and allows even the slower cars to race with the faster ones if they have proper strategy. They could do an undercut and get a harder compound to last the entire race, and in that way then can try and fend off the faster cars behind them at the end of the race, and if they can do that, that will be an amazing result and an amazing showcase of racing skills. And if you're in a faster car, you can do an overcut and pit in a bit later than others so that you can get into a softer compound for the rest of the race and chase every one up the field. And if you win the race doing that, it would also be an amazing result and showcase of racing skills. All these factors create opportunities for the entire grid to race with each other, and allows for unusual results, which makes it exciting.
True
agreed!

Wow
The compound would probably be as hard as a commuter car tire if it were to last that long
@@charlieguzman5509 nope. just more mm of tread
@@Groesbeek1994 EXTRA THICC tread
The FIA tried "just letting them race" in 2005 when tire changes were banned, and the show was horrible. Passing was affected because the tires had to be made harder to last through qualifying, plus the entire race the next day. This led to less passing and risk taking, as drivers would be more worried about looking after their tires than going for opportunities.
And led the the dumpster fire that was the 2005 US Grand Prix where only 6 cars started because they were using Firestone tires that could last the whole race and the others were using Michelin tires that couldn't handle the high speed banked turn at the Indianapolis Speedway. It's a really big blemish on f1 especially here in the states.
Not an F1 watcher, but tire changes being banned isn't the same as allowing people to build better tires from what I understand. Nobody said F1 should ban tires, simply just allow them to engineer better tires for races without stops. It seems the technology exist, without the compromises you listed. IE, engineer a good tire but instead of it being 50 miles, let it be 100 or 200. If they can do it, then I seen no issue. Also, if they allow tire changes, if someone blows out, they can simply replace it. Obviously I'm not sure how that would impact race times, but you wouldn't have to be 'conservative' out of fear of blowing out. Now obviously with any change comes a shift in how the game is played, but I don't think it sounds like there is a downside that would result like the one you're listing. Seems like you're comparing 2 different scenarios. 1; Where racers had to make a tire last the entire race and drove fearfully. and, 2; Where people are asking them to allow for tires to be engineered to last longer, since there is 0 compromises and 50 miles is more dangerous than 100 for example.
@@ViolentMLG the way the the current cars are built do not allow for easy passing as a trailing car loses massive amounts of downforce as they are trailing the leading car due to the way the aero in the cars work. This means that pit stops can deal a huge blow as other cars pass you while you are in the pits and now you have to drive harder to be able to pass and regain the positions lost. If tires are made to last an entire race, the drivers are just going to babysit their tires and simply defend their track position rather than try to overtake
@@lokeychomusuke But if the tires were made to last the entire race, or even just a bit longer, wouldn't thay allow for a fight to the finish with every single car going all out? It seems like it'd be entertaining to watch. Same tyres/tires = no more babysitting and mainly focus on being first? If a tyre lasts the whole race, why babysit it? Go all out and keep as much distance as possible and race as best you can and try to keep P1. Like Violent said, 2 different scenarios.
@@misdemeanor61 that's only because the surface on Indy went through a process called "diamond grinding" where they grind off the top uneven layer of asphalt and put in little grooves that run parallel to the track to help with rain water and oil and stuff. Bridgestone had data on the track after its resurfacing through their Firestone branch that ran in IndyCar series at Indy unlike Michelin. F1 had a rule at the time that didn't allow testing for the tyres so Michelin was completely in the dark about how their tyres would react to the new surface while Bridgestone knew exactly how to build their tyres.

It's great to hear someone talking about Pirelli drawing the shortest draw. When other companies had the monopoly on tyres, like Goodyear in the '90s, they just put out the best tyres they could. Or, at the very least, a good tyre (like when they were forced to make grooved tyres). When Pirelli got the contract, they were forced to accept absurd rules, created by the FIA with no real need. Like "make the tire last only X laps! it will be more fun!" or "hey, next year we are increasing downforce and power, so you have to provide a new tire, that will degrade in X laps. But with no testing at all! It would be costly. And we want this to be a surprise for everyone! This will surely increase the spectacle with no risk at all!" (Silverstone 2013). Frankly, i'm surprised Pirelli is still in F1. Being in F1 has only damaged their reputation, and (largely) not by their fault.

Same.
pit strategy makes races massively exciting. especially when it comes to circuits like monaco, where passing is almost impossible, without pitstops the racing would be dull
Almost fully agree. 2005: no tire changes in pit stops, tires were grippy (very much so considering the straight grooves) and lasted the whole race. The only downside was Indy 2005, otherwise we had races like Japan, Canada, San Marino, Hungary where other strategy events and pure racing made it exciting.

As a F1 fan, this is the kind of content I wait for and aspire to see from one of my favourite channel
as a f1 fan you should definitely know that the current spec tires are engineered to fail for entertainment Pirelli even said that themselves back in early 2010 when they wanted to make races more interesting and have more tire strategy rather than just fueling and sprinting to the end which was extremely popular in the 2000s and no overtaking. Tires back then lasted much longer There also is no more tire war so its not necessarily the best tech, The 2000s era tires were faster despite being grooved than todays tires. After 2005 us gp, having two tire manufacturers became such an issue that they went with one.

Little does this guy know that my Moms Expedition had Perellis...until the *tread* was almost bald 😎
I think the tires add a lot to the race strategy. Also I'd imagine the reason they only last so few miles is because you have to balance softness/grip with degradation. Less degradation means less grip. More grip typically means less degradation. These tires also have to withstand the most stressful torque and lateral forces than just about any other race car.

let's just say that turn has a deep, _deep_ voice
@@watema3381 ohhhhh
tire strategy is what firsy brought me to the sport, and races with higher degradation happen to be my favourite because leader will drop back a few places every time they pit, and the win contenders will try to outsmart each other, that's what gives us fun radio drama and mixes the grid during the race

I've seen enough 1-stint F2 sprint races to say, yes, tyre changes make things more exciting. It also emphazises the team aspect.
Mom said you left your jacket in her van. My little brother is wearing it now. Thanks Bro !! Love the content of ALL THE DONUT VIDEOS!!
Who knew I needed this information at 6 in the morning
“tires can last 90k miles” me: owns a scatpack and has gone through 5 sets in 25k miles ):
When the tread wear is more accurate how many miles you get lol
@Captain MufDyven 😂
Stop doing burnouts then lmao idk why dodge boys are so extra💀
@Captain MufDyven Hello 👏 How're you doing?
Worse if you drive a dodge, you spend 85k miles coming out of the dealership.
The intern messed up and spelled "tread" as "thread" when it overlays on your face.
I didn’t even notice 😂
Also repeatedly spelled 'braking" wrong.
And secconds
And 'degradation'. Someone needs a copy editor.
Pretty sure 'resistence' isn't a thing either.
Learned something new today. Thanks!
In French, for "giving up" we use "cooking your tires" ^^ But it's pretty easy to understand why.
High deg tyres were introduced to improve "the show" and mix up the grid.
Similar to the additives that some car manufacturers add to their steel to induce rust

Yup. Us fans know how that worked out. It didn't.

Do you steal that from carnation🤦♂️
@@T0UGE.B0 ah yes, the most used phrase from the man himself, Lewis Hamilton is a stolen comment from Carnation. If you just listen to every team radio from Hamilton himself you'd hear him use the same line in every race
Dude, I really like ur content... I'm usually lazy to comment or like, but u hv a way of making me hv the energy to at least do 1of those... Keep feeding me that dope content....
Y is my man out here explaining long chain polymers better than my chemistry teacher?
"corpse corner"
Ah then it wasn’t only me that heard that. Had to go back and listen again 😂
that line hurted me
There is a 305 km minimum race distance+they use the same set for 3 laps in quali and another warmup lap which are another 15-20km on the tire. 50 miles is easy for them as races are usually 1 stop.
Even one stop so they talk bullshit
So that’s 180 miles and let’s be honest there’s usually 2 stops if going full tilt on softs, if managing tyres to 1 stop they’re limiting performance and it’s track dependant, so 2 stops let’s say 60-70miles for arguments sake? 🤷♂️
@@macsays2834 70% of the time Hamilton wins on a 1 stop from medium to hard. The rest is pr soft medium to the end or medium hard soft for fastest lap. Maybe sometime a Soft hard if he didn’t manage to qualify with the mediums
@@macsays2834 F1 tires are made to wear fast but if you manage them well you can end up doing long stints belive me
@@maceocapietto4090 Hamilton is a different piece of the equation though let’s be fair, he pretty much runs in entirely clean air, has a superior chassis for most tracks, and is a demi-god at managing tyres..
Learn something new everyday. Thanks Donut.
idk I think pit stops are a good thing, it helps keep low/mid field teams somewhat in the running if they gamble on the right strategy.
Yea. Remember Germany 2019 where toro rosso and racing point gambled and ended up in 2nd and 4th
off the record reminds me of the time i saw a guy get laughed out of a car group desperately trying to find a lawyer to take his case he was going 180kph in a school zone and nobody would dare touch that!!
4.5g of lateral force. *Lewis laughing while pulling 5.9 lateral g’s in Mugello*
i didnt laugh
It's because car itself produces down force and it was tyres own down force
@@lmao7439 the tyres produce minimal downforce. That's called mechanical grip. But tyres don't habe 4.5G's of mechanical grip
@@Kasmuller k man my bad
@@lmao7439 well to be fair the video didn't make that very clear
Playing the game and watching it. From that experience I would say it keeps it interesting.
the only ad i would watch gladly every time i click on a different video so good
Unrelated, I just got an ad, during an ad. We're reaching the levels of ads we never thought possible.
install an AD Blocker, they are for free!! I have never any ad's when i watch youtube

On mobile I got an ad, then their in video ad, and then an ad right away after their in video ad. Must be Christmas.
@@furyofgungnir Hello 👏 trust you're doing well and staying safe?
Pls keep going, more F1 content!!!
Also, look man, last thing we need this season is Max not having to pit at least once.
I actually enjoy watching the sponsor’s ads, dudes at Donut do them pretty well
