I would love to see a video on the evolution of F1 front wings. If anything, it's even more varied than the rear wing - especially in the 70s with the March 701 tea tray, the Brabham 'Lobster Claw', and the snowplow/splitter design that Tyrrell first tried and even cropped up on some of the early Tolemans.
It was the March 711 that had the tea tray. the BT34 Lobster claw was the first F1 car i saw win a race, the 1971 Daily Express international trophy at Silverstone. 10/6 to get in. and won by Graham Hill, his last F1 win. the race was run over two heats of mixed F1 and F5000 cars. happy days.
Hey, anyone here knows the reason no F1 team uses highly elevated front wing like this one 2:05. As the front wing of F1 car these days is so fragile, even when being clipped by another competing car.
I love these looks back through the evolution of car design. Also, #Hashtag1, #Hashtag2, #Hashtag3... did someone forget to complete the template, or am I missing something 😂
You used to see such a wide variety of elements on cars in the 80s and 90s. Often on the same cars during a season. Like at Hockenheim the wings would be almost nothing. There purely to keep it stable at top speed and provided little significant downforce. But at Hungaroring you couldn’t even see out the back of the car for all the elements stacked up there.
Mounting directly to suspension is so amazing. Still a great opportunity in automotive today. New series could well use it to limit aero squat at speed.
I believe the first wing used on a race car was in 1927 on the Delage 15 S8(?) these wings were seated on the side of the car behind the rear suspension in certain specs, although going that far back it really does get hard to pin down when and where things are first done.
Scott thanks so much for the informative videos and staying away from all of the stupid controversy click bait content that some of these F1 channels are moving to. It’s so disappointing all of the division they are trying to primate between fans and their teams.
The Lotus 98T is the most beautiful machine my eyes have ever seen, that black and gold livery sets it off and Senna as a driver, it's truly a legendary machine.
That March is straight up the most ridiculous F1 car I've ever seen. Everything from the rear wing, to the front... Wedge thing? And that absolutely comical intake is beautiful
Most early wing setups were powered. They could be trimmed, and many were linked to the brake pedal to get max downforce or act as air brakes under braking. These adjustments though made them even more fragile. Jim Hall was nearly killed in Nassau driving his high winged Chaparral 2D by the actuating rod coming free- due to the twisting of the suspension mounted wing- allowing the wing to flip UP. Sports car wings were even more radical than the early F1 wings.
Would you ever make a video that talks about the “ideal”fastest F1 car? Like no regulations involved, look at every era of F1 and piece together the “fastest” F1 car possible? I think that’d be really interesting to see which era had the best floor vs which had the best front wing and put it all together.
They were banned because they could not handle the downforce and mounting them on the uprights was good for unsprung wieght but suffered from vibration problems also causing failures.
my favorite era of the F1 wing has to be the 1984 season triple wings to claw back downforce lost when groundeffect was banned and the 2000s low and wide rear wing
I know I'm supposed to be critical and say "You missed this" or "You missed that" but no, that's not what I'm here for. You're an amazing resource and trove of knowledge. Q1: You talk about the Gurney Flap but... this was at least a full decade before Dan Gurney modified the stall part of the rear wing to get the more-perfect mix of downforce and drag. What was it called at that time prior to his involvement and who used it? Q2: The JPS car at Laguna Seca. What??? When did F1 run at LS? That's "the" Corkscrew unless I'm losing my mind. That's the JPS car. Please do tell. Love your commentary. Love your style. Ehud in Tucson, Arizona, US
I want to see a video about the evolution of bargeboards. They've disappeared and re-appeared a few times since they were first introduced and I'd like to understand why.
The Opel did NOT have an inverted aircraft airfoil. The Airfoil was cambered with the curve going upwards -- like that of an aircraft. It provided LIFT. The cumber or curvature to create downforce, is to have a 'cup-like' design where the curve was closer to the ground. Inferring that it had an inverted airfoil, is incorrect, Bernouli's Theorum should clear that up. -/// ///- ------ ----- (------- Sorry for the ASCII there. How about this? ^ where the longer distance is on the top of the surface and thew concave bottom surface 'escapes' the airstream and therefor, moves slower. Slower means a higher pressure, faster is lower pressure. Hence, it can push upwards, drastically reducing lift.
00:58 The Opel Sand RAK programm was some really innovativ stuff that early, piloted by the bit crazy Fritz von Opel. It inspired Wernher von Braun, who later developed the V Rockets for the nazis and later the Saturn for Nasa. The Wings on the Opel Sander RAK 2 actually generated not wanted lift.
Question, would F1 be more exciting without the amount of downforce so that the cars corner like on rails. Should it encourage, or enable more overtaking etc.
I remember they canted the DFV engine forward to create more of a venturi shape to aid ground effect. nice idea but never really worked. I saw the Arrows A2 race at Hockenheim.
I think rules also create innovation and creativity. Every single time Engineers found loopholes in rules and implemented some crazy ideas. Eg.Venturri tunnels were removed due to safety but started using it now. From v12 to v6.
Back in the 1960's, Jim Hall built the Chapparal Chevrolet and proved that an upside down wing that pushed down a car, was just the thing you needed to increase the speed you could go around curves. Soon all the other race cars copied him.
(01:00) About that attached aero-wing which inspired Swiss engineer Michael May to mount an inverted wing to create downforce -- Does everyone see that the first wing is creating _up-force..._ ? _So close and yet so far._
Wake up call: Jim Hall was running high wings on his Chaparral sports cars in 1967. And the wing struts were attach to the suspension uprights...and his didn't fail. F1 playing catchup and Scottie boi acting like they're the front of the pack.
Ok, thanks, appreciated. But, @driver61 & @ScarbsTech, when and how did the diffuser come about, because that impact the downforce as well, doesn't it?
Mid 2000's are still my definite favourite. Like, the west McLaren's, F2004 and R25... absolute works of engineering art. And of course... THE NOISE!!!!!
F1 regulations make the cars very expensive. This reminds me of the America’s cup monohulls. They cost tens of millions of dollars when a cheap catamaran could beat them. Fan cars could easily produce drastically more downforce including at corner slower speeds.
Kilograms is a unit of mass not force learned at 15 years old (in Canada anyway). Some might understand that gravity is 9.8 n/kg and there may be a professional convention to estimate effective force expressed as mass as in lbs then convert to SI, perhaps correct physics is worthwhile explaining to the many young fans out there just learning physics.
Tyrrell was always trying new things. Anhedral front wings creating a better low pressure area under the car. running front wheels at the rear to lessen drag. six wheeler and much more.
It's amazing to think that when Tyrrell raced their X-wing car in 1997, it was already 20 years since the original Star Wars movie was released. Watching the constant design, build, get banned, and try something else cycle goes a long way to understanding why Formula 1 is such an expensive sport to participate in. I'd like to think that some of the tech that was born out of F1 made it into everyday devices, much like Teflon is thought to have come from the Apollo moon program. In actual fact, Teflon dates back to 1938. Google tells me that carbon fiber might be a good fit, but I don't know if that is fact or urban myth.
It's kind of a shame that the FIA is so determined to set such rigid rules. It would be much more interesting to let engineers come up with clever ideas without banning them the instant they do. Now we have races with cars that at a first glance only differ in livery color, even though they have different shapes of sidepods and such. It stifles innovation and makes it so that if one team gets a winning formula early on, they basically win the championship by default. Unless they are Ferrari and just spin out at every race.
1:29 bro invented DRS that long ago
Manual DRS lol
Manual DRS 💀
Spitefully dobbing in your opponents because they thought of a better idea than you is a tradition in F1 that goes right back to the start.
Generally backstabbing and stealing ideas is part of the sport.

Don't forget Jum Hall's Chaparral: wing 1966, ground effect / fan 1969 / 1970.
Great car but the 2J wasn’t an F1 car

So sweet seeing a F1 car going through the Laguna Seca corkscrew especially a Lotus 79
Mounting directly to suspension is so amazing. Still a great opportunity in automotive today. New series could well use it to limit aero squat at speed.
The Superbird & Dodge Daytona both had the wing attached to the rear axle iirc
I believe the first wing used on a race car was in 1927 on the Delage 15 S8(?) these wings were seated on the side of the car behind the rear suspension in certain specs, although going that far back it really does get hard to pin down when and where things are first done.

You mentioned the Jordan of 1996 but you missed the McLaren of 1995 - theMcLaren MP4/10B
The Lotus 98T is the most beautiful machine my eyes have ever seen, that black and gold livery sets it off and Senna as a driver, it's truly a legendary machine.
That Newey Leyton House with the 7up livery is my favorite looking car ever. It’s as bare minimum as it gets. So beautiful.
13:45 yes. I honestly think that era from the late 90s through 08 were some of the best looking F1 cars ever.
Those old 60s rear wings are hilarious.
Why ?
This channel is amazing at delivering facts I missed
That March is straight up the most ridiculous F1 car I've ever seen. Everything from the rear wing, to the front... Wedge thing? And that absolutely comical intake is beautiful
1:30 My dude invented the wing and DRS at the same time!

1:03 that opel car doesn't have "inverted" wings, it has "regular" wings - so it's not making downforce
Can a “regular-wing” fly inverted ? If so (BTW, the answer is yes), a regular-wing CAN create downforce, even though it’s not optimized to do so.
Would you ever make a video that talks about the “ideal”fastest F1 car? Like no regulations involved, look at every era of F1 and piece together the “fastest” F1 car possible? I think that’d be really interesting to see which era had the best floor vs which had the best front wing and put it all together.
Yea, that'd be cool. Like if you put that team from Porsche's N-ring run onto making an F1 car as fast as possible.
The suspension arm mounted wing idea could help porpoising…
They were banned because they could not handle the downforce and mounting them on the uprights was good for unsprung wieght but suffered from vibration problems also causing failures.

I want to see a video about the evolution of bargeboards. They've disappeared and re-appeared a few times since they were first introduced and I'd like to understand why.
It's all about controlling airflow down the side of the car. Taking messy tire squirt and feeding it toward to rear wing/diffuser.
@@rhyswilliams4893 Could you put that in video form? I can't read.

8:10 this was so much "fuck you and your rules" by Ferrari it was straight up disrespectful

I wish the fia made a different f1 series with chassis and width/length/height restrictions but let the engineers go wild
