That unique sound was produced by running the exhaust through the rear diffuser. Other teams tried it in testing but McLaren in conjunction with Mercedes made it work
i remember adrian newey wrote in an article on the ITV F1 website, back in those days, that the exhaust note was also purposely made to sound a bit different. yes it was run through the diffuser, but he said they purposely made a particular note too. whether that was him trying to disguise what was actually happening, i don't know.
I think of 2000 as the last year of pure F1: No traction control, meaning it was all down to driver skill. Also, purity of engine sounds unaltered. Traction control really messes with the engine notes, especially out of medium and slow corners. No altered circuits. Pure Spa, pure Suzuka, pure Hockenheim etc. Pre-Tilke monstrosities, with the exception of Sepang, actually still Tilke's best circuit, which was on 2000 calendar. 12 lap qualifying session slugfest. (Just think of Suzuka 2000 - the last truly great qualifying session; perhaps the greatest of all time.) Old points system - win = 10pts; 2nd = 6pts; - 3rd = 4pts; - 4th = 3pts; - 5th = 2pts; 6th = 1pt (Fair and square and with maximum incentive to win.) Hakkinen overtaking Schumacher at Spa; Schumacher overtaking Hakkinen at Nurburgring; Tense battle at San Marino; tense battles throughout the season. Last truly great rivalry with drivers respectful of each other and very differing styles: Schumacher the throttle and race master, Hakkinen the line and qualifying master. Fantastic times. I'd like to take the 2000 season on DVD with me into my pyramid, even though my guy - Hakkinen - didn't take it at the end. Still, Schumacher had to WORK for it. If Hakkinen hadn't retired at Indianapolis, he would likely have won that season. Even so, couldn't begrudge The Michael his championship after sweating so hard for it. Great, great champions both.
Peter Tromp Hallo Peter, ik neem aan dat je nederlander bent? Ik deel je mening compleet en helemaal al vind ik dat al die "driverhulpjes" meer de schuld is van de f1-organisatie waardoor alles steeds minder wordt, de rijders moeten het er maar mee doen, met of zonder hulp voor of na die tijd, ik denk dat het niet uitmaakt ze zijn allemaal hele snelle jongens. ik was ook een Hakkinen-man en daarvoor Hill en daarvoor was ik Uber-Senna(RIP). Ik volgde f1 sinds ongeveer 1990 en dan ook echt alles inclusief vroeg opstaan voor japan en alles, maar vanaf 2014 is het voor mij echt gedaan en het is echt jammer voor onze Max dat ie in deze tijd moet instappen. Wat mij boos maakt is de f1-organisatie die gewoon vrijspel 2007 2009 2014 2018 de sport de strop om doet, alles gaat wel door maar het is geen f1 meer en nog erger de zogenaamde na 2010 f1-fans die ze goedpraten en gelijk geven.

I was never much of a formula 1 fan , but it does seem pretty clear that the engines and cars became less exciting after this. Electronic aids brought it down and seemed like suddenly everyone's running the same # of cylinders and engines coming from fewer sources, cars looking almost identical. Here's a fun scenario to ponder: What would F1 be like today if there were no engine limits or performance restrictions? How popular would it have become?
I remember my dad brought me to silverstone for the first time when I was still a kid I told my dad there's a jet coming. He said no son thats an F1 car reaping the aspalt. I cant believe it. It was frightening and beautiful at same time. It shook my body when this car pass us.
Quite possibly for me the most beautiful sounding F1 car of any era. It’s like the mix sounds of the NA V10 and V6 hybrid turbos engines plus adding the sound of a US fighter jet. A beautiful car with a beautiful sound
I was lucky in the year 1997 that i accidentally tuned in an f1 race on star sports just waiting for an nba game. I was hooked up. Schummacher-hakkinen rivalry thru the early 2000's was for me my best years of watching f1 during the weekend with my family. Now i still watch but not that into it if you know what i mean. I was lucky and indeed thankful.
97 rivalry was MS-Villo 98: little rivalry MH-MS 99: MH-Irvine, little too. 2000 was the only real rivalry MS-MH 2001 MH lost Motivation and retired, DC took command.
I found F1 in a similar way. My grandad was flicking channels and seen sparks fly out of Michael Schumachers Ferrari at Suzuka. I told him to switch back. Had my head for it ever since.
What I love about this era's cars is not the noise itself, but how the engines just sang a lovely song on every lap... you can literary hear every press on the throttle and the brake and every time the car changes gear... you could feel the car accelerating and decelerating and all the corrections the driver makes, over the TV... the diffuser wail on the Mclarens even enchanced that feel
In 2001 for my 18th birthday my Dad took me to Silverstone F1, when this came out of the pits for the first time I had ever even heard an F1 car in real life was the greatest sound I ever heard and will ever hear! Can't explain the ear piercing noise and otherworldly whale that thing made!! Beautiful
I can remember watching this car at Silverstone for the Gp in 2000 the sound was absolutely fantastic , nothing I’d ever heard before ! I think the loudest V10 Iv ever heard was the 2005 bar Honda .
I agree that this is the best exhaust note of the V10s. However, this engine did fail on Hakkinen 3 times during the 2000 season and I think that cost him the championship. REPLY
I was at the Indy race in 2000 & watched the telemetry on the giant screen when the cars were pitting. When the Mclaren Mercedes cars dropped off the air jack they briefly hit the rev limiter...at 21,500 rpm. I think thats why they sounded better than even the Ferraris. Insane rpm
I'm so glad that I lived trough this era of F1... I didn't need a boost from media and shows, I just sat in front of the TV one day, and got completely blown away
I just watch this footage whenever i miss the excitement of better f1 times. I miss the older mclaren honda and mercedes. The late 80s and 90s f1 were awesome to watch. F1 in 2005 up...😩
Whenever i think back to the glorious V10 era of F1 it is THIS McLaren and the incredibly unique and thunderous sound that i always think of! None of the other V10s sounded like this.
Eu vi esse carro em Interlagos - Brasil. Um som maravilhoso.... Só escuta as batidas da reduzida assobiando com as freadas, aí o grito do Mercedez V10 parece um jato acelerando pra decolar, vai aumentando e botando marchas até arder os ouvidos. Lindo!!!!!!. Mikka foi um excelente Piloto e comandou essa maravilha 👍
Best engine noise ever in formula 1. Even as a four year old kid there was something that drew me to McLaren and maybe it was this. What the fuck happened...
The Mp4-15 was my favourite V10 McLaren Merc. In the right window of setup, it was arguably mighty faster than the F2000 Ferrari but they just didn't have enough good days and reliability. Some of Mika's qualy laps when the car was hooked up were amazing and it was definitely a damn good race car.
So great and familiar footage. :P RIP ears ;) V6.... boring crap :P Only good thing is the speed. These vids are over streched to 16:9 as actually the look better in 4:3. Anyway great clips you have.
I was born in 1995 and immediately fell in love with McLaren at 3/4 years old. I think my father, being a Schumacher/Ferrari fan also made me like Hakkinen/McLaren even more... I didn't get to see the McLaren-Honda era: Senna, Prost...but I'm glad I was born in the McLaren-Mercedes era.
Hearing old V10s and comparing them to the modern V6s is like comparing old good music with what today we consider "Good?" Music oh Fuck it, its like comparing 2pac with lil pump
I'm a diehard Schumacher and Ferrari fan, but if you ask me what is the first memory that comes to my mind F1 speaking, I'll always answer McLaren exhaust sound.
@@motorsportfan3202 I've heard them both in person and nope, the 1998..2001 Mercedes engine sounded better and meaner. Approaching from the distance sounded like a Stuka dive bomber, somehow people in the stands could guess it was a McLaren, even if all V10 engines sounded almost the same, Merc had the exhaust oriented on the difuser and the sound was more aggressive and vibrant. In 1990 the highest RMP was about 14K,,15K in 2000 in was 19K. rpm
It’s a shame but it had to happen eventually, the v6 engines are over 200bhp more powerful and mean that the modern cars are over 10 seconds a lap quicker than the v10s. I miss this sound but wouldn’t want it back, the cars would be so much slower
@@jigglediggle29 it would be awesome but the novelty would wear off when the cars are slower and the teams go bankrupt from having to replace the engine after every single race
@@hydraz1443 Are you kidding me? Come on. The cars would not be slower, simple as that. Replace the engine after every single race? Never ever. The whole structure of the engine would be built like the powerunit today, much more stable. Current F1 is the biggest shit, FIA ruined the whole sport. F1 has lost his role as the pioneer of motorsport. It's a generation thing - in the past we had drivers like Prost, Hunt, Lauda, Mansell, Senna, Irvine, Michael Schumacher - grown men! And now? Mr. No Competition Hamilton, Crybabies like Verstappen, Stroll etc. Oh boy. F1 is going downhill, very fast. The new reglement won't help.
@@jigglediggle29 even if they were built like power units nowadays they would be more unreliable than the V6s. More moving parts (10 cylinders instead of 6) = greater chance of failure. Couple that with the mammoth cost of building a V10 hybrid (yes it would be more expensive than a V6 cos again more moving parts) and it would end with most teams going bankrupt and the manufacturers leaving. Things were not great in the past, they were even worse. So get your head out of the clouds
As a child and Ferrari/Schumi fan back then. The sound of does McLarens was the sound of evil for me. 😂 They where the bad guy‘s trying to stop Schumi. ^^
I was a full gown adult 30 yo back then and I had the same adversity but against Ferrari, lol. Could not stand them. McLaren sounded more like a Stuka bomber btw.
It was a unique combination of making the pistons out of a beryllium alloy and the exhaust running through the rear diffuser. Those two combined created this, the best sounding car in the history of motor racing.

Traction control was a thing in 2001, it was just hidden, you can hear it in a few clips in this video...
@@MVSTNGGT the FIA legalized traction control at the Spanish Grand Prix that year. There was no need to hide it.

I honestly believe this Mercedes v10 makes all the other v10s sound a little boring. It's just orgasmic
true XD
This McLaren Mercedes sounds so much more brutal and wrathful than their successors...
I will never get tired of this ORGASMIC sound!
F1 FAITH01 the other v10s wasn't boring every single v10 has a beautiful gift and this v10 just as much as a beautiful gift as all the other v10s
ZX R-CADE for me:
Williams BMW
Renault

This is the most unique V10 F1 sound
The sound does change from 1998-1999 vs 2000s the reason is beryllium pistons were outlawed...the MP4/13 sounded so destructive
The best sound!
The tobacco sponsorship era of formula 1 had some of the sexiest looking and sounding cars ever.
The best f1 exhaust note ever
