The way they produce F1 nowadays gives you basically no sense of speed. Sadly it's all about making the ads on the cars as visible as possible. If you want a good sense of the speed difference between everything from road cars to F1 then search on TH-cam something like "cars F1 comparison Eau Rouge". The speed difference is really crazy and basically all cars looks standing still or they are out just on a Sunday cruise in comparison to F1. Really good watch for a few minutes.
Also the way the cameras are set up these days, don't give us the sense of speed. They are directed to keep the cars centre of screen and follow to zoom in on sponsors. That's why we hardly see stationary cameras these days, or long shots of corners on the exit.
People don't give enough credit to Maylander. To drive the SC at a pace to allow drivers to maintain temp while matching race control's direction and keeping marshals enough time to clear up debris safely is underrated. Well done to him
He is doing his job, part of a team, fully connected with Telemetry and instructions from the race director. Should we also give more credit to the helicopter pilots that fly the cameras, the paramedics and doctors on standby who also race round the track at the start. Everyone does their job that they are highly trained for.
@@iain8837 Cuz giving props to these people and praising them for once is a crime right? They are all there ready to go and do what is needed for the extreme safety to give you a fun event at home and bring f1 to life.
You never realise how fast the safety car is going until you see it in real life - stand on a high speed corner (Silverstone - beckets corner for example) watch the safety car slide through it on maximum attack - while the F1 cars behind look so so so so slow compared to their usual speeds and still weaving left and right while the safety car has left huge black marks from the tyres sliding.. Only then do you realise how fast F1 cars go round corners.
I was able to go to an Indy car race in the very late 90's. Believe the pace car was a corvette. I couldn't believe how hard they were pushing that car around the track. Tires howling every corner. Indy cars not even breaking a sweat. Was pretty cool.

@@MainInternetUser Yeh being there its pretty loud. Loud for a car. But its only kinda like a "hhhhhhhhhhh" sound. Not the old screeching wich we grew up with. But thats fine imo.
I recall an interview with Mayländer in the German Print Media. He said "on the straights I heavly lift, but on the corners, I always drive 100%!" Great guy.
Mad respect to the medial car and Safety car drivers they don’t hold back. I’ve been to the Melbourne GP in 2016 and even when entering the pits they go hard and pull up last second they wanna squeeze everything they can out of their vehicles while still keeping it on track.
I went to the race on Saturday and sat in grandstand 12 - at corner 1-2. I was able to see both the safety car and medical car flooring the throttle as they exit the corners. It was drifting a bit. Yes they do push really hard. To check the tracks grip level for safety before the qualifying.
That casual acceleration while weaving from the Red Bull to the Safety Car that was already doing 180kmh @ 0:50 is one of the most scariest things ever.
I often forget it is Bernd Maylander driving. The SC sort of becomes invisible. The man is an absolute legend of DTM which was a major (and cool) series back in his prime days. It really helps to have such a competent race driver operating the SC.
@@thomashayhurst6547The Mercedes is a Black Series with way more aggressive aero and 100 hp more from the same basic engine. So it would still be interesting to see.
For anyone interested: there is a Beyond the grip episode with the Safety-car Bernd Mayländer available on Spotify and other streaming-apps. In the episode he mentions who likes to get very close to the safety car and how is well mannered and keeps a constant distance 😂
The view from the savety car back at the F1 cars and you could think it's pulling away out of the corners. But if you then look at the safety car from the F1 car and how it feels like there is no distance at all and how quickly it closes, it really shows you - even with safety car conditions - how important perspective is in order to be able to assess things correctly.
Cool! Id like to see them show SC telemetry/onboards more often. aside from advantageous pitstops and car recoveries theres usually not a lot going on anyway during SC. Theyre both really cool cars as well IMO, this sounds wicked.
I love that the safety car is actually frickin fast and yet the F1 cars could drive in circles around it without problems! These speeds and this power is inconceivably awesome
I dont watch formulas but coming from GT racing its amazing to see that what looks like Vantage GT3 cruising along is warmup pace for F1. Even when pushing the formulas are just crusing
Some additional info: When the F1 driver lifts his foot from the gas it decelerates as if a normal car is on full brake. When the F1 car brakes it is a >5g force pushing the head of the driver towards the stirring wheel. Also in very fast bends the force to the side exceeds 5g. The driver has to plan before when to breath.
The sound you hear in the F1 car in the video is what the driver hears in the cockpit, although its not a V8 or V10 anymore that V6 is ridiculously load and sounds way better at the track as it has no Muffler!
Funny thing is that the safety car pushed so much even though he should have waited for the pack to form when lando was leading. This was deliberate action to help mclaren.
I had the honor to get a hot lap around Laguna Seca in the SLS Pace car with Bert Maylander driving. I asked him how hard he pushed, and he said he is usually driving as fast as he can. In the video here, clearly the straights are ~190km/hr but all the dynamics in the turns are to the limit of what the car can do. And yes, the performance difference you can see here is incredible.
You can see him tapping the brake pedal before he actually begins his braking in earnest/reaching his desired speed, I'd assume to warn the leading car "yo bro this is as fast as we go, get ready"
Mad respect! I used to volunteer at stage rally events and got to chat with the Car 0 course opener crew. They told me it's one of the most stressful jobs in the sport, particularly when they hear over the radio that Car 1 has started the stage less than 2 minutes behind with a 3 minute time deficit to reduce from the rally leader. Talk about hauling ass trying to stay ahead of Car 1 while shooing away straggling spectators!
That AMG V8 is just something else (the Vantage and the AMG-GT actually use the same engine). It also sounds like it's an NA even though it is a turbo engine. Let's just hope the next gen of safety car still retains a V8 even if it becomes a hybrid (even Mercedes themselves decided to pull the straight 4 hybrids from the market because sales were really slow). Since we are the subject, it would be a day to remember when Maylandar retires. I hope somebody of the same caliber will take over once that happens.
You gotta appreciate these different POVs from the F1 cars and the Aston Martin's speedometers. The Aston going 200 kph made it feel like the car was running; all while the F1 car was doing 200 while zig-zaggin and throttle braking like it was a walk in the park. F1 cars are something else 😆

Actually crazy the f1 car is doing the zig zag at 200 km/h. I knew the cars looks slow in the TV but I never guessed they were going 200 doing that.
the faster they go the more downforce they produce so if the tyres are not worn they could weave near top speed if they wanted to
look up a short video called "f1 2006 cars were so handy" that's a proper zig zag at 200kph
