I guess the reason many rookies struggling in F1 now is because they carry an aggressive style from the F3
That makes a lot of sense
Agreed! F3 and F2 need aggression to get the most out of the car
Bro, what happened today? Everyone spun.
@@Apollo101-r6r it was raining and they had slick tires?
Yes also today rookies dont get enough time to test F1 cars. Back then they could test for unlimited time this cars. FIA is making many constantly mistakes for years in F1 junior program.
This is exactly what Button explains in his book "How to become a formula 1 driver". He says that he tries to carry a lot of speed through the corner as a karting habit because it had low power. To do so, he used (and still uses) the brake and throttle a lot mid corner. He said he was impressed by Hamilton's style, i.e. heavy braking in the entry and using only the steering wheel through the corner.
An important thing he added, is that despite those opposite styles, their lap times were really close. As you said, there is no best driving style.
That's true, I should read that book. Sounds interesting, would you recommend it?
@@WolfeF1Explained The first few pages are written like a teenage book so it's a bit annoying but the rest of the book is funny and has some cool info. He speaks about Super GT, the Baja, the responsibilities as a driver, so yeah, I'd recommend it
hamilton likes V type of trajectory in a corner, while jenson would be U shape.
5:05 obviously the Smooth operator is smooth while driving too
Yeah lol
@@WolfeF1Explained The sainz onboard is the video game assetto corsa?
@@WolfeF1Explained the max onboard too
Schumacher came from quite humble origins where his dad had a second job at the local go kart track fixing up the karts for a bit of extra money (his mum would also work in the cafe IIRC). But given the prohibitive costs of karting (and motorsport), Schumacher often used discarded parts on his own kart. He famously used to fish out old, thrown away tyres from bins and use them on his own kart when beating other junior racers with better equipment. He cited these formative experiences as a big reason on why he was able to have such an insane sense of control and understanding of the limits of his cars because he had to maximise his performances using subpar equipment.
Similarly, a great benchmark for driving talent is always how well a driver performs in wet conditions. Rain takes away many advantages and forces the driver to rely on supreme car control and driving instincts and Schumacher was often in his element in the wet and had the nickname of 'Rainmaster'. For anyone who hasn't seen it, watch his win at Spain in 1996. Driving an absolute cement truck of a Ferrari, he almost lapped the entire field. You can even see the different driving lines he took compared to everyone else because of his confidence and understanding of both the car and the conditions.
Barrichello has said once that Schumacher didn't like tires that bent too much. It's all because of his more agressive style
Hamilton at the 2008 British GP comes to mind as well
On Sky F1 this weekend, Jenson Button was talking about the difference between him and Lewis Hamilton's driving styles when they were at Mclaren together. Jenson said he was very smooth in his steering inputs, he liked to control the rotation by modulating balancing throttle and brake application in the entry, mid corner and exit. While Hamilton would be very analogue in his braking points, and would battle the car through the corner with the steering wheel, reacting to what he could feel.
Perhaps that might be a reason why he seems to have lost his edge in raw pace quali laps in these modern cars compared to his teammate. The old cars were light and nimble, they could be chucked into a corner and a driver could wrestle any under or oversteer as it comes, without losing too much laptime, these days, while you can still wrestle the under or oversteer, it seems the effects of those small moments have a large impact on lap time, the cars really need to be driven smooth
Yeah, I think Jenson was the ultimate example of a smooth driver. Hamilton was more aggressive back in the day, but now he has adapted to be smoother.
That's true. But if I'm not mistaken, one of the biggest shortcomings of a smooth driving style is it can be hard to increase the tire temp, no? This is especially true for an incredibly smooth driver like Jenson Button. His tires lasted a long time, but he struggled to warm them up, which was one of the reasons why Barrichello managed to snatch a few wins from him during their Brawn GP era. So I guess being able to adapt your driving style according to the track condition is also a crucial skill to have.
@@SneakyCat808 Yes, he said in the Brawn GP's documentary that at Silverstone, he couldn't heat his tyres on the wet track and had a terrible race because of that
@@SneakyCat808 The one year Brawn GP ERA. But yes I do agree.
@@ouilson7936 It wasn't wet in 2009. Was just not the summer weather which is abnormal in the UK compared to places like Istanbul and Bahrain.
Just to add, Alonso ditched the really agressive understeer in 2006.
In 2007 had to change his driving almost completly to adapt to the bridgestone tyre
Setsuna Yuki and Yuu Takasaki all used aggressive understeer driving style since 2020.
That’s the reason Checo struggles with Max. A lot of the upgrades benefit one style of driving and while yes you can adapt you definitely are better on the style that you grew up with
The problem is, you can only adapt to a certain extent
Driving a car with a sharp front end is very very difficult for someone who doesnt feel comfortoable having to deal with the oversteer on turn in
Perez just like gasly and albon is no different in that regard
I mean partly this is true but I think it's being used as an excuse too much.
Albon has made it clear that upgrades don’t benefit one driver or a style, outside of the red bull organization
@@ApratisAlbon said he drives like Max demanding a lot from the front end or the "Smooth Oversteer" the difference is Max's front end sensitivity is like 3x the other drivers. Its especially bad for drivers who are good on tires smooth understeer guys like Perez and Gasly. Albon was max best teammate and they threw him under the bus. He was on a podcast and said this.
this exposes the problem with modern f1 cars, they are too heavy and sensative, forcing drivers to be less agressive and more smooth, which is reducing the overtaking abilities of drivers, this is why the 2010 to 2013 cars were so entertaining, they where so light and nimble and so agressive overtakes and fakes could be done, now a simple touch or offset can upset or even damage the car and so people are stuck behing drivers for 10 laps with a 0.4 second gap
Agreed, they are very sensitive and soft nowadays. Needing to be smooth
The sensitivity comes from how stiff these cars are, not how big they are.
This stiffness includes both suspension & tires.
This stiffness is irreplaceable for cars getting high downforce from ground effect.
This stiffness also benefits the grip overall, marginally increasing grip from inside-corner sided tires.
But, without having the benefit of downforce, drivers would prefer a softer platform and these softer cars would be also be faster.
Another thing to factor in for alonso and schumi is traction control. Of course it doesn't make the cars "easier" to drive, but TC definetly had a roll with their driving style and how much they can get away with
Your channel has so much potential
Thanks :)
I felt so smart watching this video, well done, you’ve earned yourself a subscriber
Thanks!
meanwhile me in my car trying to turn the car like some folk who playing f1 with keyboard not steering wheel
I play f1 in AC with keyboard.
It's a fun experience and then after 2/3 hrs the fingers starts to get cramps😂
hi there, since you're still growing your channel, here's a little tip for your videos man: the subtitles are way too quick (which I get it, you need to get on with the video!), but because of this, most of the times we have to pause the video, and with the video paused, the youtube interface comes on and it gets in the way of your subtitle text! So, maybe place your subs on the upper part of the screen, or change the color to like yellow, to make it even more visible within the youtube interface or just make them last longer ! cheers
Oh I didn't realise that! Thank you so much for the feedback. I'll leave the subtitles on for longer next time :)) Sorry about the inconvienience
I agree completely. I don’t read that fast and often have to rewind to catch the whole content. It would be much better narrated.
Just tap on the screen one more time to hide elements
@@aopyy that only works on phones, not computers
@@WolfeF1Explained no prob man !
Actually you're wrong about Button, he explained it back in his McLaren days alongside Hamilton that he sets his car up for slight mid corner oversteer with a slower polar moment. He has a very smooth style that followed the classic racing line because his setup is inherently unstable at the rear. At the time Hamilton was the opposite needing a stable understeer setup because he broke late with a shallow corner entrance, then would flick the car around the apex for a straighter exit than allowed him to use more throttle than Button could.
WOW! this video was very informative, it made me realise that my personal driving style is a mix between smooth and aggressive understeer, this really opened my mind on how i drive and how ive been wrong about my driving style for years. This is one of the best informative f1 videos ive watched in ages.
Thanks a lot! glad you found your driving style
I think it's really more the car that dictates the driving style, of course there are always slight preferences but these guys can adapt and change their technique, that is exactly why they are the best of the best
completely agree, the way the cars drive and the characteristics of the tyres dictate what style will be the fastest. There is always the factor that you can directly ask the driver what their favourite way to drive was, but if it is bad for the shitty overly soft tyres that f1 uses now they would probably drive differently to the way they prefer.
For sure, the car generally has a "preferred" way of being driven, but if the car can be set up to match the driver's own preferred style, they can get a handle on it a lot better. A driver who likes a bit of understeer is going to feel very uncomfortable if their car has a bunch of oversteer, and vice versa.
Schumi and Mika, what a rivalry!!
This was interesting to watch! I had this on silent so having the subtitles helped a ton. I know reading speed differs from person to person but for me it was perfect, thanks for posting this!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Aaah finally somebody who looked at it like me, I remember seeing on a F1 website years ago that driving an F1 is about either understeering or oversteering because of the aerodynamics. Basically to make the car go fast you either have to rely more on the downforce at the front or at the back (and I know it's not really logic to say it like that since the rear will always have more downforce) but that's how it is. Great video 🤙🏿
When you start comparing drivers between different eras, it becomes a comparison of "Cars preferred driving style", not "Drivers preferred driving style".
The aggressive Oversteer style of the old cars does not come from the setup being front-biased, but from the immense power these cars carried, compared to the tires tech they had.
They were certainly setup to be rear (not front) biased, to permit more of the power to be transferred to the ground.
Also, the "twitchy setup" that seems to be correlated with shaky inputs, comes from the older cars having no steering assist / power steering. Modern cars do have power steering, which also dampen bigger forces significantly.
Yeah definitely, drivers have to adapt to the car behaviour to be fast. But they all differ in how they reach the grip limit and get quicker in the car. That's roughly what their driving style is. For example, Schumacher was aggressive in the same car as Hakkinen was smooth in. Both were fast, but they had different ways of going fast (their driving style)
Smooth oversteer seems to be the best driving style to have out of the 4
Agreed, especially with the modern F1 cars.
I would argue that smooth oversteer suits front limited tracks such as Barcelona and Spa, while smooth understeer rear limited tracks, such as Bahrain or Singapore, at least in race trim because of tyre-degradation. Also smooth understeer seems to be strong in slippery conditions and that is why Button was so good on the wet and Sainz is too.
good aggresive oversteer drivers (raikkonen,senna & schumacher) are usually the fastest because they can reach the optimum slip angle and stay there using micro steering corrections.
it was easier in older cars as the tyres were not so thin and grippy as compared to the tyres 2013 onwards
@@coconato10 true but it doesn't work anymore. In dirt bike racing in the US this is what they all do to get so fast.
@@frankdobs in doesnt work in 2024 f1 cars yes
but it still works in classes like gt3 and gt4
I just love the driving style of Alain Prost until now
this might be ur best video yet mr wolfie!
Thank you, the driving styles are shown very clearly.
My thoughts:
When oversteering, car creates problems, and the driver solves them.
Studying this style is more clear. You trying to get more speed, less time, and if you can handle it, you've mastered it. you control the car.
This is not my way. I want oposite. I want to do brave things. And I want to be troublemaker for my car. And I need be sure that the car can handle absolute everything.
And I want to do this smoothly, but push overlimit in absolutely anywhere where I can to neutralize underlimit that I have.
And you can go smooth, but push harder and accelerate more.
Perhaps drivers are a little afraid to use understeer at maximum. Because they way to stable with it. It much comfortable to drive this way.
I think understeer is discovered, but not fully implemented
Damn, that's a really great job, lot of dedication and passion from you, i love it! Subscribed!
Thanks!
Very well made video. You earned a sub
Much appreciated!
Aggresive understeer worked with michelin tyres, especially well with renualt car. Kubica drove similiarly in bmw in 2006
An interesting way to put it and shines a light on why i struggle to drive modern F1 cars in games well besides my brain sometimes not being able to keep up i must have picked up a bit of Micheal Schumacher in my style which is mostly a NASCAR/GT background and well i do great in older cars but when i jump into a modern car i have issues
Relatable, except I started off in Euro Truck Simulator 2 so my style is smooth lol. Iracing loves smooth driving and the tyres behave like ETS2 as well :)
@@WolfeF1Explained fair enough and i did watch a bit during Schumachers hayday being autistic i just couldn't stop watching motorsports as a whole
Bro you forgot to add the goat.
Ayumu Uehara and Shioriko Mifune both adopted "Strong Oversteer" driving styles like Fernando Alonso and 2015 Max Verstappen.
Great video, thank you!
Great Video !
Congrats on 1k (1.24k currently) dude! 🎉 Keep up on good work dude 💪😎
Thanks! Will do!
aggressive oversteer is a guilty pleasure, so fun to watch but not viable anymore
Smooth understeer for a smooth operator 🔥
This is an amazing content, thanks!
f1 drivers be like : "i don't know what styles is this, i get this driving style naturaly since academy"
i disagree with the ending, smooth oversteer is by far the best driving style, it is faster and rewards the tires, it just needs a very very good driver to make it work
Driving style really doesn't matter, it's how well the driver can use that style to stay on the limit.
Verstappen has always had a oversteer style, Lewis has had a understeer style, but when they were fighting for the championship and their cars were around even, their pace was extremely similar. And they've both won championships with their opposite styles of driving.
In the 80's and early 90's when the cars favored agressive oversteer, Prost was still one of the fastest drivers on the grid driving with smooth understeer.
The driver who can stay on the limit of the tires the most over a lap will be the fastest. The driver who can compromise driving at the limit with conserving their tires will be the fastest over a race distance. Doesn't matter how you get there as long as you are there.
Agreed, Smooth oversteer is often seen as the 'best' style because all the good drivers have it. But the best drivers are the ones with the best feel for the grip limit and can adapt their style to suit the cars. Today, smooth oversteer is fast because it is what the cars require to stay on the grip limit.
@@ieurobeatkids9378 but Prost in the 80s and especially the 90s was never know for having blinding speed, that was always Senna, but that's what made Prost the perfect match for him, he was extremely smooth and consistent despite not being the clear fastest
i, and the drivers, agree that an oversteer based driving style is better because for starters, it's faster due to the higher rotation of the rear, and is more challenging to consistently do on the limit, , while a understeer based driving style requires the car to be setup that way and therefore is slower, and a lot easier to do
Max and Lewis were so evenly matched because both had cars that were setup to their preference, the Mercedes had a strong rear end, and the Red Bull had an extremely sharp front end, but i agree, a great driver will make any style work
@@detectivepayne3773 Yes, Senna had blinding speed, but who was always 2nd or 3rd right behind him? A majority of the grid was using a similar style to senna, yet prost would beat all of them.
Senna was one of the only exceptions, being arguably the best over 1 lap in the sport's history.
So it's about choosing between using simple steering inputs with modulated pedal inputs or using modulated steering inputs with simple pedal inputs and also choosing between a setup between oversteer or understeer. Giving us 2x2=4 different styles.
Man keyboard players are seriously cracked if they can compete with controller players even with both steering and pedals being simple binary inputs.
Would have liked a VO video, it’s hard to look at the visual comparison content and read the details at the same time.
Kimi is aggresive oversteer right ? Martin Brundle said that Kimi and Schumi have the same driving style
Yep
He'll have to adapt a lot to today's f1 cars
Kimi has very smooth delicate inputs which stems from having naturally very soft hands and wants as light a steering rack as possible where as soon as he gives minimal steering input the front end shoots to the apex.
He likes more turn in oversteer than anyone in f1 history, even more than Michael or Max
Montoya claimed the rear of MP4-20 was broken when driving it
And another thing: kimi was NOT a V-lline driver. He didnt have sharp dips in his apex speed due to his mind boggling natural ability to floor the throttle hard and early when the front end gripped up in the way he wanted on corner entry
The greatest talent in the history of Formula One. No one even comes close as far as I'm concerned
Great video. This chanel has potential. Droping comment here for algorithm. :)
Thanks so much!
3:06 why does it look real but it's not
Think you just made me realize I'm a bit of an understeer driver weird I always thought I was oversteer but I do a lot of things on the under steer portions
I love this content
I did always prefer Jensen's style of driving. And he used it to great success too!
im aggressive oversteer sadly, prob bc i started my motorsports journey in DIRT Rally
You're categorization is fairly sound, but Hamilton in aggressive understeer is wide of the mark.
His desire for his post-22 Mercedes to have some form of consistent rear grip has lead some to believe he's a driver that prefers understeer - this is not the case. The W13/14 lineage not only had shockingly poor rear grip, but wildly inconsistent. No driver, whether they like a car on the nose or not, is going to be comfortable with that.
Take Max's infamously "pointy" Red Bulls. Yes, they have extremely sharp front ends, but they also ran high rake designs that held prodigious downforce in most conditions, which allowed them to dial in a sharper front.
This is much closer to the car Hamilton prefers himself. Much of the pushing he did on car direction through the Mercedes dominance was about dialing *out* midcorner understeer, not inducing it.
And before Mercedes, he wore out his rear tyres far more than his fronts on all but the most front limited tracks.
Overall great video, but had to nitpick slightly 😅
Yeah :) I think Hamilton is much smoother now. He used to be aggressive in his early days at Mclaren and such
I disagree with you, but you bring up a good point. I believe what most people get confused about is that drivers do not have preferred balances, they have preferred driving styles. Hamilton's style is late braking into the corner to grip up the front and v-ing the apex to get a good exit. If you "solve the equation" of car balance for a set style, what hamilton usually wants is a car that is very stable under braking (this means lots of rear grip) and doesnt induce even more understeer mid-corner so that he can v the apex and get on power as soon as possible. This kind of driving requires an overall stronger rear than front, as long as you dont get even more understeer in the mid corner. Since he uses the rear to initially trail brake under rotation and then get on power early after the apex, its usually the rear that he uses more than the front. A stable and pointy bull would not give him anywhere near enough stability on entry and he would get a snap of oversteer by braking late and be slow through the corner. Max on the other hand is very slow in the corner, very easy on the brakes in order not to upset a very pointy car, and then turns it in like a madman at the limit of its grip, until he gets it straight enough to go on throttle. Basically it may sound like they both v the corner and hate mid-corner understeer but the way they approach the corner and how they start rotating the car are massively different and require very different balances. Having said all that i think hamilton opts for a ''moderate' amount of understeer since trail braking and brake migration help the late braking style as needed, whereas verstappen opts for a high amount of oversteer since trail braking doesnt help with pointy cars that tend to be unstable. Unfortunately for them, nowadays cars are very sensitive to 'hustling' so lewis cant really v corners how he wants, and the '24 red bull gets mid corner understeer no matter the brake bias, which max despises, so he has to approach corners with higher entry speeds and u them less than he would like.
the video is very good congratulation
Thank you very much!
alright cool. also you could also technically induce rotation by using the throttle if you have understeer by dapping a little bit of throttle to make the rear end step out
You could theoretically but trying it on sim I just understeer more and go off track
On throttle rotation isn't usually good because it scrubs the rears. Dabbing the throttle to induce understeer is better to stay on the grip limit.
it scrubs the rears and wastes your foward momentum coming out of the corner
Superb video, I enjoyed it a lot. Thanks :D
Glad to hear that!
Aggressive understeer>aggressive oversteer>smooth understeer>smooth oversteer
Just for that for me Alonso is the best racing driver in the last 20 years.
He always was competitive.
I mean, yeah, there are other drivers like Hamilton, Verstappen, Shumacher, Leclerc, etc .... awesome drivers, they could be faster than the spaniard sometimes, but, Alonso was always competitive, with diferent cars is not easy for any driver be in the top with differents styles and cars.
Dude the verstappen onboard is from assetto corsa
What style does Senna fit in? I imagine it’s an aggressive oversteer style, but his aggression is with both steering and throttle, with his blipping technique. From your analyses, with each style it’s more or less either steering or pedal inputs are being tampered with, not both at once
Aggressive with the pedals and the steering a bit.. so most likely Aggressive Oversteer/Understeer
Senna’s footwork is devilish stuff
I would give senna the style of
agressive
not specifically understeer or oversteer, he just sends that shit
@@houseking9211 LMAO, just Aggressive. Still curious if there’s evidence that he prefers understeer or oversteer. But yeah, no matter what he just sends it! 🏎️
I find this to be a fascinating study in driving styles. I still think much of the driver success depends on the cars. McLaren, Ferrari, Mercedes, and Red Bull I’ve all been at the leading edge in quality for the past 30 years. It’s both surprising and disappointing when one of them gains an edge for several years.
Was Rosberg aggressive oversteer?
I remember the 2014 Canadian GP where both Mercedes had overheating rear brakes. Rosberg could handle the issue and still finished P2, while Hamilton couldn't. Rosberg outqualified Hamilton overall in 2014, but Hamilton had the upper hand over the race distance.
Hmm not sure about that. I'll do some research in the future
Mate, I'd need you to help me. My driving style is more oversteery (I can't stand understeer) but I noticed I take corners with a mostly U-shaped line. I even brake earlier then others to maximize minimum speed and the exit (like I told you some days ago my driving style is aggressive and I'm trying to make it smoother), but I don't understand why the line is U-shaped...
Hi mate, oversteer with a U shaped line is completely fine! It doesnt matter if you prefer understeer or oversteer. You can take a U shape line either way.
@@WolfeF1Explained oh, amazing... another question: do you know any driver who has/had the same driving style as me (so oversteery, U-shaped line, brake earlier and maximize minimum speed and exit)?
Me :) And Daniel Ricciardo sorta
@@WolfeF1Explained thank you! I thought also about Verstappen, because sometimes (more rarely than him) I take V-shaped lines too. Can you advise me about what tracks are best to understand your driving style (so how much oversteer you want or the lines you take)?
Suzuka is a good track to learn. The esses and first corner are very good to test handling... Once you learn how to drive on the grip limit, you can apply it to any track :)
max's clip is from assetto corsa
Yep, its so realistic I had to use it.
Geeat video thank you 😎
I neither prefer oversteer nor understeer, I prefer a perfectly balanced car, a car that turns exactly where I want (after all, having to wait for the car to turn is just slow and annoying to deal with) and that the rear is perfectly tameable with throttle modulation (after all, having to deal with an uncontrollable rear end is annoying, slow and unpredictable)
I think agressive understeer is actually really fun to drive, if you have ever driven the f2004 in ac1, chucking it into corners and mashing throttle super early is probably my favourite way to drive any era of f1 car, the weight of the older cars of course helps
Tbh tho no car is perfectly balanced so it is really down to what you can deal with better . Nobody really wants either . But personally I can deal with oversteer better than understeer.
The hairpin at Nurburgring GP is a bad corner to demonstrate line choice because its a V shaped line for everyone, even GT3 cars do that line because its the fastest line through that corner.
Yeah, but I think its good for demonstration purposes. It exaggerates the U vs V shape line. Not actually the fastest way around lol. I've never driven a fast laptime with a U-shape line there :)
Have you ever looked at the short corner - long corner styles way of analyzing a driver's style?
I have, short corners are like V-shaped lines and long corners are U-shaped lines from what I understand
@@WolfeF1ExplainedYup long corners are more the classical geometric line or even like a long U for late apexes whereas short corners is more V’ing off a corner as you’re trying to get on the throttle faster
You could see it a little with F1 video of Russell and Lewis laps with the former using more V corners and the latter U corners
Verstappen is literally the definition of aggressive 🤣
When other cars are involved then yeah! But not his driving style...
@WolfeF1Explained It really is though. He is maximum attack, all the time. That's literally what he's known for
can u do a video showing what style is better on a specific circuit.
Good idea, thanks for that
@@WolfeF1Explained hope to see that when u can.
Just a tip, the subject is super intresting but i would love to be able to pay attention to your analysis and the driving at the same time. The video is good, i like your vibe, but it would be cool if it were more practical. Cheers!
Thanks for the tip!
So basically my driving style at sim racing is aggressive oversteer
Is it possible to notice the styles from the onboard camera? I just can't see it.
I look at onboards, interviews with the driver and other places. I would recommend Ross Bentley's Speed secrets series. It teaches you a lot about driving on the limit
I wonder how this applies to other racing series.
do you think you could put the 20 drivers of today in a rought grouping for more of an understanding of how the 20 of them drive? (if not thats okay as i get they’re all basically the same 2 styles today)
Thats a good idea! I'll work on that
Since you don't do commentary, I suggest you atleast make the words slightly bigger, and position them more near the center of the screen, cuz am trying to look at the footage and also read but can't, it's tiring to look at your videos
Thanks for the feedback!
how is hamilton known as degradation master with a style not suitable for current tires? has he changed his style?
Yes he has, hes smoother now :)
i didnt quite understand the dif between the agressive and smooth oversteer, can someone clarify that for me? But great video btw
Aggressive is aggressive steering movements. Smooth is smooth steering movements. Both styles prefer a strong front end and oversteery car setup. The way they manage the oversteer is either aggressively or smoothly :)
The problem is that by only looking at onboard, you don't see the oncoming dynamic.
For example, you didn't talked about the weight transfer and how efficient some driver are with it (Hamilton and Verstappen above all in the current grid).
I need to know why style my favorite driver, Kimi Raikkonen used! Thanks

Those are on f1 23, but i can drive a lap around Assetto if u prefer that
You're quite smooth! In most corners you keep the minimum speed up high, so thats good for the 2023 f1 car. Do you prefer a stronger front or rear end? I would assume Smooth Understeer but what do you think?
@@WolfeF1Explained to be honest, i feel like i dont really like a strong front end and a strong back end doesnt sound that appealing, i think im more in the middle, but also i love oversteer a tiny bit more than understeer so idk
Would Jim Clark be smooth understeer?
Perhaps, he was smooth....
Which driving style did Seb fit into?
Aggressive understeer/oversteer I reckon
@@WolfeF1Explained ah cool thanks!
Just out of curiosity, which style category does Charles Leclerc belong to?
agressive oversteer, he prefers oversteery cars and in qualifying he is super agressive, manhandling the car a lot, sometimes you can even see him using the brakes and accelerator at the same time to keep the rear stable during qualifying (doing this over a race distance would overheat the brakes), in races he has to be smooth to make the tires last
@@detectivepayne3773 Thank you
That's why he's so inconsistent. When he gets it right, I would argue that no one is faster in raw speed.
Vettel is smooth understeer?
I think he is a bit aggressive, but needs a strong rear end to complement his style. So aggressive understeer/oversteer...
@@WolfeF1Explained Can you have a strong rear end and still have an oversteery car?
No, they are the opposite things. Oversteer = Strong Front ....... Understeer = Strong Rear
@@WolfeF1Explained ok thnx. so if vettel preferred a strong rear, he liked understeer right?
which style is leclerc's?
Aggressive oversteer
Smooth Oversteer probably
you overlooked the 5th driving style: Senna
He doesn't fit in those categories for sure, but closer to smooth oversteer I reckon
@@WolfeF1Explained well, actually no because he was an extremly aggressive driver, especially in cornering. He literally punched his car through corners
What 😮
I can't tell the difference.
Can you … redo this video? 😬
The explanations are SO good and the footage is SO good but the production is bad because you’re asking the viewer to do too much at once… it’s difficult to read and fully appreciate the video content examples. A voiceover instead of reading OR separating text screens from video screens would be much better.
Excellent work but I think if you made this again with that tweak you’d get millions of views. I had to stop 1/3 of the way through :(
Working on it!
But then theres tiff needell from fifth gear who knows very well about the art of drifting!!!
He can drift a whole lot better than me :)
@@WolfeF1Explainedshow me a clip of tiff needell drifting please!!!
If alonso has million number of fans I am one of them. If alonso has ten fans I am one of them If alonso has no fans, that means I am no more on the earth, If world is against alonso I am against the world. I love alonso till my last breath
Hope Aston starts giving him a good car...
@@Carlos-ln8fd If the lil birdy I heard the other day is reliable, perhaps Newey can help make it happen 😬🫣
Admire your dedication, but please don't say Vettel, Raikkonen and Hamilton are a league below him. I'm tired of this narrative.
I'm just 1 min in and I've had to stop this video like 20 times already. I'm a slow reader and on top of that your subtitle placement is not the most pleasant... An almost 10 mins video, with no narration and only reading seems like not the greatest idea... There are plenty of AI text-to-speech tools out there, that would have been a million times preferable to this. I really wanted to watch this, because the information seems interesting, but there are thousands of videos way better made that don't require me to put this level of work to enjoy them. Bye!
In the description you can read the full transcript. Sorry about this :( I am working on making subtitles last longer to its better to read.
We're in 2024, stop these subtitle video crap
I'll just get chatgpt to do the whole video then :) but where's the fun in that
@@WolfeF1ExplainedI meant voice over, with a mic
