God bless BBC & NGC for broadcasting knowledge all around the world .!!!
i love how they just jump right into the film
Well done Richard!!! Thank you for the value added!
I miss that sound
much better than v8
You miss inefficient engine and wasted power. That's always great isn't it
Richard is a really great presenter!
Because that's what Playtex had in its commercials back in the '50s when it brought out the gloves.
Love Richard Hammond from Top Gear. New to F1, I'm interested so far!
Thanks for uploading!
Carbon fiber is quite amazing stuff isn't it.
Thanks for uploading :) great video
That was cool, thank you Richard.
It's funny because this episode isn't that old, but in the 2013 season Red Bull had a couple of pit stops in under 2 seconds :o
That was the slowest pit stop (without the fuel rig since they banned it after 2009) I've ever seen.
then u havent seen bottas pitstops at mercedes
the pits... wow that's slow. amazing how fast it has become.
This is one of the most highly tuned machines ...in the world!
Love that old F1 Engine sound compared to what they sound like today
I'd love to see what F1 cars would be like if they threw the rule book out, (just the rules pertaining to car construction), and wrote a new, simplified one. Limit engine displacement, finished. No fuel conservation, DRS constraints, etc.
44:40 this is Clarkson's favorite hobby
I saw this on TV & said to myself I want one.
like this vid, especially carbon fiber and kevlar part
anyone know the music at 27:32? its on all the episodes but havent a clue what it is.
can CF or plastic withstand the heat associated with the racing environs in regard to the wheels?
XD Like Jeremy Clarkson Always Teases HIm
I wish my 'ordinary' car had 200 hp!
Lets all forget about that since the new f1 rules are here .... its a shame these were the real f1 with real sound
YAWN!!!
Driver is David Coulthard can tell by helmet design.
yes
They run on highly engineered gasoline. Yes. The rules of the FIA specifically state that "Formula One race fuels must be composed of compounds normally found in commercial fuels." It is gasoline..and certainly not ethanol or anything of the sort.
teach me master! go ahead YOU tell me
"In less than 10 seconds" :D I would say in less than 3 seconds
Formula 1 wiki brought me here
Finally, Richard Hammon says he's Flaming.... too bad Clarkson wasn't around.
the broken forged sword reminds me of dying... allot
Yes but... EVERYTHING is overshadowed by: Rules and Regulations.
and inpact resistance?
Why didn't Hamster mention the diffuser and under body? They are the main source of down force for the car.
90% of f1 crashes the driver walks away from so yes you are correct. it is a walk in the park.
who the hell extinguish petrol fire with water!!! hillarious
Was professor Nick Hall James May's cousin? ;)
no one walks with "meter-steps" bcuz it is diferent length on every step you take
i would like to hear about cooling system of F1 car.
Jeremy would have done better at the forging--well at least the hammering part.
I want this torque machine at 28:00 ...I dont know what I'll do with it but i want it!
Ken Block's drive shaft twisted during gymkana seven
who and what
the brakes in modern F1 cars appear to be enclosed...wrap some gold around the inner walls of the rim & it should be fine
so crashing at 200mph is like a walk in a park?
it's not CF or plastic, its plastic material reinforced with Carbon Fiber & yes it can
19:45 1.9 sec for mclaren is the honda engine
how short is the guy at 19:30 if we all know the general short height of Hammond?
oh lord I've droped my sword :D
He should do a program about the engineering connections of whitening teeth :D
what about titanium wheels?
Do you think that diesel formula could be possible. It would be interesting
ukkomies100 that would be a sight to see...
I don't see why not. It's the competition that's important, after all, not the fuel.
With all this technology, what are drivers hired for when they can drive in a straight line.
Why not use carbon fiber wheels then? can someone explain that? that way you eliminate the risk of fire and use a very strong if not stronger material than magnesium just like the lambo sesto elemento does
I would assume rules dont let them do it
So first of all theres actually no worry about fire. Because solid Magnesium won't burn easely. What do burn easely is pulverised Magnesium or Magnesium shavings when it's machined. That's also the reason why they use oil based cooling solutions if they machine Magnesium. Second, Carbon fiber is a lousy thermal conductor. That is importent because they use the heat of the brakes to keep the tyres in the right temperature range. And third, the weight loss wouldn't be significally. The density of pure Magnesium is 1.7g/cm^3. Because they use an alloy it is a bit higher. But normal Carbon fiber weavings have also a density of about 1.8g/cm^3 In the end, the Carbon fiber wheels of the lambo are nothing more than a marketing gag. Looks great on the data sheets to impress potential buyers, but they bring no performance gain.
Rodrigo Melendez Hirezi carbon fibre suffers from catastrophic failure unlike metals which can be tested for micro fractures. This means you could have carbon fibre wheels that literally explode during the race. Metals also gave better elasticity than compounds which means it can absorb some energy.
30:32 f1 cars run on ethanol not gasoline or anything remotely resembling gasoline.
2.4L is in europ one of the bigest petrol engines that you can buy and its in the most expensive cars 1.6L is the average and 1.3 in small cars
And now f1 engines are 1.6L
2.4l is NOT one of the biggest petrol engines you can buy in Europe. Not by a long shot. It may be one of the biggest available in economy cars, but not one of the biggest you can buy. Not even top 10.
www.theicct.org/sites/default/files/publications/EU_vehiclemarket_pocketbook_2013_Web.pdf page 58-59 Yon can buy a car with biger engine but it is luxury import not a car made in EU for EU and 2,4L is not in economy class that is around 1-1,3L and in 2015 all new cars must have maximal fuel consumption 5,3L/100km or 53 mpg , average in my contry is aroud 7L/100km or 40mpg you have aroud 25,5mpg but that is in news post what a average car make on galon
F1 cars use a 1.6 litter engine now.
You definitely can't read statistics man. It's the average displacement for the vehicles they sold the most. There are a lot of 4 to 6 liters engines here in the big mercedes and bmw. For example, the vw passat has often a 2 liter engine, yet vw numbers are under 1800cc, that's because of the Polo's and Golf's they sell more.
Putting out a Magnesium fire with water? I don't think so.
i wish modern f1 was those big hp brutes from the 70's with a manual transmission.
those would be some expensive wheels
Malaysia yay
I've tried bodyboarding on sand dunes, so I'm sure sailing in sand isn't that hard...
Actually Kevlar is weak against sharp puncturing force. The reason it does not work well against metaljacketed rounds.
Not with small, tight weaves.
nutsackmania Even still, a bullet proof vest alone wont stop high powered rifle rounds or fast moving shrapnel. Standard issue FMJ rounds used by the military would make swiss cheese of standard police armor, and even non-trauma plated military armor.
Matt Brine Yes, but F1 cars are not military vehicles and dont need to be protected against rifle rounds travelling faster than sound.
And now pit stops are only 2 seconds +
Half bald guy with long hair at 0:27
why not make rims out of carbon fiber reinforced plastic instead of magnesium
i want a cannon!!
The explanation of why an aerofoil generates lift is somewhat incorrect, and does not elaborate on the actual explanation on why lift forces are generated. It is not only a matter of a difference of pressure, as the propulsion in a sail boat going up wind, or the down force for lift force on an airfoil. The driving force is due to the deflection of air in the direction opposite of the lift or down force. If it was only a matter of difference of air pressure that created lift or force, then aircraft would not be able to fly upside down.
Adam Sage , il bet your friends love having you round for lunch 😔😪
Ads in the middle, ads at the end.. too much, too greedy
You can don a woven Kevlar glove, slip on a rubber glove that a woman might when washing dishes over that one then stick it in simmering water and keep it in, basically, until you get bored.
Why did it have to be a woman washing dishes ?
That's called Vela Latina (Latin sail). It was NOT invented by the arabs!! The Portuguese perfected upon it and that allowed for the Discovery Age. It was invented by the Greeks or the Romans.
Love the show but they screwed up the sailing bit hard. Sailboats tack into the wind. They can't just sail straight into the wind because they have airplane wings. And fuck, forged iron doesn't get it's strength from hammering. At some points this show crosses over from simplifying to misinformation.
Hello
i see a flaw here. hammond measures the length of the two pistons flying across the field, in "meter -steps", but hes a midget. so one of his steps surely cant be a meter?
240p we meet again
You must have a shitty internet connection.
Is that webber or vettel
It looks like David Coulthard who drove for Red Bull, works for the BBC and wore the Scottish flag on top of his helmet.
"1 reason and 1 reason only: to race and to win" ain't that a bit of a script error?
Hammond is a giant compared to that guy.
so they all did their own separate shows before they did top gear
No, they do separate shows simultaneously with Top Gear even now.
+Tejas Tasgaonkar not anymore
and no single one grey hair...
49 minutes and no details.. aluminum block? Tolerances in the cylinder? 0.00000012inch? If the block was steel it would expand at a lower rate than the aluminum piston.
Aluminium*
Potato patato.
consaka1 it's Aluminium, not Aloominum 😬
I dont want free viruses ok
2:13 there is plenty about those cars that does not allow them to be as fast as they could be. many rules actually prevent the best cars from even being conceived. they are not even safety related, they are to keep prices down to earth. f1 is no longer the best. 20:49 nothing amazing there. the lighter the material the less energy there is left to injure the driver.
wtf Arabian sailors?? there is just sand! they meant Persian sailors
Fact: those teeth are whitened. lol
why wouldn't they make the wheels out of carbon fibre? It's light, strong and won't set itself on fire.
Andefir oh carbon fiber would shatter during the force subjected on the wheel. Not to mention, carbon fiber would not have the traction needed.
Koenigsegg does
6:17 not totally fair , the smaller piston is not the same weight. no control in this experiment
unfortunately the whole "piston cannon" analogy is very flawed in so many ways. first of all the valve that lets the pressure in doesn't open instantly or consistently. 2nd of all (and to add to the valve problem) the tighter piston is so tight it actually sticks in the bore. this means the loose piston starts moving out of the way of building pressure while the tight piston sits there allowing the pressure to build higher behind it before it moves which has nothing to do with how an actual piston or pressure works in an engine. 3rd they didnt use any oil which reinforces the 2nd problem outlined above and last but not least pistons dont even do the sealing, RINGS DO and neither of the pistons used in the cannon had rings on them! to test this properly they should've put rings and oil on the pistons, put them in the bore and then put a force gauge on the piston and released the pressure measuring the force of the piston on the gauge as the pressure leaked past. with that test I bet both pistons would be pretty much the same.
I think you're missing my point. I never said they were wrong. I never said lose pistons seal better. I know tighter pistons will have less blowby. I have a built tuner car with forged pistons I can tell the car makes much less power before the pistons heat up and expand plus there's more blowby in the PCV system when cold. I've rebuilt engines before so trust me I do know what I'm talking about. What I said was THE ANALOGY is flawed and there are better, more scientific ways they could've made their point.
i agree but for another reason i was thinking the piston experiment with the air canon is aimed more at conventional car engines and not F1, all engines need a good fit, and the experiment shows the differences, but the F1 engine is on another level and im pretty sure conventional car engines were around before the modern F1 car in which he is talking about, he really should of showed something that needed to be heated up to work that existed before todays F1 cars or something along those lines.
I'm pretty sure the actual point was that Formula One engineers has a bigger payoff in being more precise in making/designing F1 cars. For me, if there's anything wrong with piston-cannon connection, it's that it's redundant. It isn't so much an engineering connection as much as an engineering principle. At this level, everyone already expects the engineers to be making these cars right to the limit. It's their job.
Hosted by a chap who has never watched F1.
Yeah well he’s a television presenter not an engineer. Also if you’ve watched his latest adventure in owning a car restoration shop, he happens to know quite a lot. The presenters on Top Gear have a roll as in acting roll. In that roll, he plays a Massive Idiot! All good
Ahhh back when the F1 cars didn't sound like a glorified leaf blower.
They don't sound that bad
Okay I exaggerated a bit, but it still sounds awful compared to the previous generations.
KmanK887 Fair enough
+KmanK887 you should just listen to headphone cuz only an idiot complains of the sound ill tell you what f1 is about, the downforce and speed
+wiredsk8r according to your narrow point of view, I guess.
that stop was slow....I've seen RedBull pit crew change all four tires in less time during a race
the program is old.
there are street cars that have 650 hp and get 22 mpg today. tell the whole truth.
New Top Gear isn't that bad.
2.4 litres is smaller than most road cars!? He's mental 200BHP from a normal road car!? yeah he's delusional Just because those are the sorts of cars he sees on top gear haha
2.4 liters is big? I still see a lot of Camys running a 3.6L V6.
To most europeans its quite big
2.4 isnt that big, but i am an american and my cars have 3L and 6.2L engines
eludicate please. again f1 cars don't run on gasoline. whoever told you they do is a liar or ignorant.
5:08 how is it possible to look like two genders??😐
No.
Too bad rain and Safetycar destroy the Spirit of Formula one. The best drivers in the World cant drive on a wet road.
Do you remember Jules?That day he crashed in Suzuka,it was a rainny day...Look how many drivers went out of the track in K1.Don't be so cruel and absolut!
You remember all the drivers who died on dry days? We better dont drive on dry days too. Most drivers died in Corners. We better dont drive thru corners anymore.
The big problem is that modern F1 cars cannot drive in standing water. You have absolutely no grip, and at 200 km/h in a corner that is just suicide
Maybe they could drive slow? And the fastest of the slow who challenges the wet track most wins the race.When was the point formula one decided to only drive on a dry road?
tabofantasy Nerdking You can't drive slower, because then the tyre and brake temperature is too low and the car doesn't work properly. The result is reduced braking power and grip, and in turn hitting the wall. There is no middle ground when driving an F1 car.
Is that webber or vettel
