James is not even joining the team at the race weekend to stay at the factory because they are already working on next season's car. These guys don't mess around
Nope, they finished updates on next year´s car which is based in this years...and are fully into the 2022 car. That´s two years...
@@f1master973 Imagine if you could say this about your college preparation. Ouch!
when he was at "lotus", kimi was on the podium pretty much every race. then he went to ferrari & they thought they had it made... toto saw an opening & hired James on the spot!
@@f1master973 Unlikely. They're not allowed to develop the 2022 car until 2021, but if they perfect the 2021 car by the start of the season, they can immediately go full power on 2022's car.
@@avada0 That´s false, many teams have started dev on 2022 car on 2019, and Renault is one of them. They can´t work on 2022 aero, not thew rest of the car´s conceptual work and mechanical parts...
lol, james mentioned power unit team was having a rough time for not being fast last season so they pushed even harder. Man, the irony is almost poetic.
its actually hilarious that they developed that engine to compete with a cheating ferrari..
@@deezelkane and you know what? They probably could beat it fair and square, it's insane
That’s more than one thousand hard working people plough through the years!
Even though it turns out he's been competing with an illegal engine (well most likely at least) the whole time 😂
James is a legend. You know people will be talking about him 50years from now.
Worked on the cars for Michael at Ferrari and Lewis for a bit at Mercedes. Legend
Well, maybe alongside adrian newey
If Ferrari had him in 2017 he could have made a car which could have won the championship. sBinotto spoiled those dreams
@@fogerrederer7601 that's not true. Thats a wish
For sure i agree but i dont credit him only i think the Mercedes technical team is the one we should be talking about because they keeo elevating the bar that's insane
Guess what, they’re doing it again. Merc has already stopped working on the 2020 W11 and has been developing the 2021 car for a month already.
Lewis 8 WDCs *confirmed*
Did they even make any upgrades this year?
@@Alumnikiid maybe a few slight ones but not any big ones. Very minimal
And they're forced to take DAS off so a benefit in weight
Most teams will have been developing their 2021 car for a few months now
@@TomBaldwin2483 bruh. They said in the video. They saved weight in other parts of the car just so the could KEEP DAS.
Btw, how difficult 2021 is gonna be for some drivers, eh. Lewis having it so hard that we should count this and 2021 WDC for two each. Lewis 10 WDC in 2021 confirmed
YT is getting mad comfortable with these double ads
They're here to stay sadly...
Ublock: "Nay thee"
I just don't pick an adblock because I'm kinda paying the content creators with the ads when I watch them with no ad block. You know, Google shares the ad money with them.
@@lukewood2662 you know how little they get right? It’s only going to channels TH-cam are pals with. Mainstream sports and TV outlets can choose their ads on their content, yet creators solely based on the platform are second fiddle.. Ad block isn’t as unfair as it used to be, especially when most of the content we’re receiving is rehashed from a paywall, especially with Sky Sports etc
4 months free yt premium go brrrrrr
I like Will Buxton but I think they should’ve let Sam Collins do this interview...
I thought this exact sentence word for word and scrolled down to comment it lol
Will seems out of his element with the technical side of things which is okay cause he is a presenter and shouldn't be expected to have this knowledge
Will Buxton is one of the few decent F1 pundits. He stays away from the petty Hamilton sniping politics the rest of the pundits indulge in and he seems to be a really nice genuine bloke.
He doesn't get the recognition he deserves.
Surely you mean MOSS from The I.T Crowd?
@@ewokYT117 you mean Dean Leaner from Darkplace and or from Man to Man with Dean Learner.... Surely...?
Where's the legend Sam Collins at?
Probably covering SuperGT or Super Formula and doing politics or...
He’ll probably come after FP, since that’s when we can see the aero components they use for this race.
Edit: typo
Hulkenberg will take his place this weekend
he got rona
@@shantanurawat1599 No he doesn't!
Ah, James at his: Race Debrif-Setup :)
Vn
Look behind at his books, and Adrian newey's biography is there. Legends appreciate legends
James is one of the best engineers in F1. He worked at Ferrari from 2000 to 2004 with Michael Schumacher and then at Renault from 2005 with Fernando Alonso.
and also Benetton, i think, in the mid 90s
@@Enra000 yes with Rory Byrne
3:05 James trying so hard not to smile smugly here when talking about his rivals having to cheat to have the best PU
Mate we didn’t cheat xdddd we found a loop whole, just like Mercedes have done this year with das
@@jakefinch8997 Pretty sure this is a joke but Merc went to the FIA with DAS before implementing it to make sure it was within the current rules. Ferarri got caught breaking the rules and reached a 'settlement' behind closed doors
@@whochairs Agreed, its disgusting that some F1 fans have such double standards. If Merc ever did something like that, they would be jumping for blood and calling Hamiltons and Bottas success based entirely on the car. Ferrari always seem to be exempt
@@whochairs Ferrari didn't break the rules. Otherwise it would have been penalized. They just saw a grey area in the rules, and they used it. Plain and simple.
@@mandricus ferrari did nothing else but breaking the rules at the fuel flow, and the mgu-k. But they are ferrari, they are allowed to do such things and not getting cent of penalty, and if it wouldnt be enough, they bring home at least twice as much money from f1 than mercedes. Pathetic
I hope we still get Sam Collins and this is just a one off
He'll be back, but this was an important moment of the season, wrapping up 7th consecutive double and potentially even 8.
Just because no Friday.
So basically the merc engineers were annoyed when the media said their car wasn't the best anymore and decided to do something about it...cheers media
You know the run of poles by Ferrari after mid season break. And spa where even with drs merc Hamilton couldn’t catch Ferrari Leclerc. That would have annoyed toto. Which would have led to Andy cowell being annoyed. And here we are.
What’s so annoying is that whenever there is something new and innovative developed in F1 like the blown diffuser, das, the f duct it always gets banned in the next season it’s so frustrating seeing these designs and innovations just scrapped the next season.
Sometimes it can be worth it and provide you with a easy win you have to find that balance
@@betherz6858 yeah that’s fair but sometimes it would be great to see other teams attempt these innovations like with das but again it’s understandable but frustrating at times to why they ban it
And then they want to implement cost cap lol
@@desting45 I agree with you, like they could even incentive it. If say 3 teams don't invent their own in 2 seasons it gets banned.
So teams can either work on it to catch up, or work on something else. If 10 manufactures put out 10 different innovations one season, the balance of what to adopt, adjust, or scrap would be amazing and make each fortnight gap between races actually matter.
@@Karlmcewan imagine if a team got a green light putting a loophole parts and then invested heavily on that almost reaching cost cap and then suddenly FIA ban that parts towards middle or end of season, that would really fk the team up. Maybe gamblers, I mean f1 fans would love to see that
James Allison made that Lotus go brrrr
Wheres the legend, the one and the only, SAM COLLINS???
Maybe commentating on super gt or super formula
He'll be back, but this was an important moment of the season, wrapping up 7th consecutive double and potentially even 8.

Looking back it this video, it cries me when 2022 comes up 😭
Arguably the greatest F1 car ever produced
Yes would love to see it go around Nordschleife
@@Alumnikiid it would probably fall to bits due to the ride height
Nah it couldn't beat the MP4/4's record of only losing 1 race.
@@Nicks62999 correct me if I’m wrong...but so far the W11 has only lost one GP This year, 70th anniversary. Soooo idk chief?
@@Emyay01 and monza
0:53 that actually looks like a nice Paint...
I sometimes wish manufacturers use the FloViz dye to help them with their designs; the areas where the aerodynamic capabilities show can help manufacturers know where to put paint to make the car look fast
@@s_d_1200 i know what the FloViz is ... i watch F1 for quiet some time ... i just like the small green dots giving it a three dimensional look
I think those paint came from other car, am i right?
@@s_d_1200 The teams certainly dont want to show everyone on the grid how their aerodynamics work with permanent paint. Theyre trying their best to hide the post-FloViz-run from photographers already :D
@@Chuckiele True enough mate, would be a cool concept but yes, you're right
Will, you just interviewed a world-renowned successful F1 designer who happens to keep a copy of *your* book on his shelf behind him! Congrats on achieving super power hyper-flex status!
I would absolutely LOVE to meet and have a conversation with James Allison!
Hey, where's Sam?
Tied in a Ferrari basement being questioned due the knowledge and insight, he has of other team's technology.
Merc are just repeating their regular procedure of "done with this year, onto next year," and it's always worked out for them. If no other team catches onto them, Mercedes are winning again.
Simple ha?If that is easy why RB for example just not skip a year and here it is, championship
They've won 2021 anyway because development for next year is heavily limited, the new 2022 regulations are what you'd have to hope for if you want a realistic chance for Merc not dominating
Ferrari is doing the same. Usually proclaiming in may/june, that they're focusing on next year's car. But it's funny with them, because they never seem to accomplish anything with it.
Fun fact, Ferrari instead of trying to keep him in the team by any means possible they just let him leave
He left because his wife died and moved back to England for his children's benefit. It just happens that he lives near Brackley
He didn't want to live away from England after his wife passed away.İt is not Ferrari's fault.
Didn't know that. 🥺
The problem isn’t that we knew Mercedes is gonna win this season from the beginning, the problem is that we already know that they’re gonna win next season
Its not a problem, its a target. Other teams need to step up their game.
@@PartisanGamer other teams needs money 😀
@@ferrari458italy1995, money is there. Ferrari and Red Bull have it in bucket loads.
If Ferrari wasn’t cheating and Red Bull weren’t ditching their drivers like candy maybe we’d have a close competition. Not even a Merc or Hamilton/Bottas fan but credit where credit is due.
@@arjunatreya3343 exactly... Merc is the the pure definition of what a a composed F1 team should look like..
Love James, he's one of my favourite people in f1. I don't think he has any idea how brilliant he is, deserves to be mentioned up with Brawn, Chapman, Murray and newey.
Revolutionary enough to gift a man knighthood
do you have a problem with that?
Hes more then a knight in the eyes of all Hamilton fans so its really not a big deal from now on as hes on the top of the world .
This opinion is so pathetic 😂 armchair whining at it’s finest
The clarity of thought and speech is humbling.
Although many are tired of the Mercedes dominance, you have to admire Mercedes' incredebly efficient way of working and groundbreaking inovations they have brought to them. Hats of to them and nothing more than massive respect. Hopefully 2022 will bring the field closer to.each other than they are know, but don't get your wishes up that Mercedes won't be a domminant force in the new era
Need to post a classic
Ferrari: Write that down! Write that down!
Class 👌,that got me 😂😂😂
This man deserves more credit
Love this car so much, brought so much joy to fans!
Yeah, to the Mercedes fans... the rest just want‘s a different car to win...
@@Mickduke1 if you r a real f1 fan you would appreciate the car and tell the other teams to catch up instead of complaining
James saying it was painful for their engine guys to watch the races and being told that they are not the best engine anymore. 😂
And then saying the gains HPP made were ‘DECENT’.
That Ferrari cheating engine is the culprit. 😅 it made Mercedes push to compete with it. And now Ferrari don’t have that engine. The poetic irony.
Read the title too fast, thought it was "James Allison on Mercedes' Rotary W11"
that would sound awesome
@peter pan 😂😂ok smart guy where is felix wankel from😂😂
@peter pan you’re an idiot...used*...go drive your Chevy spark😂
@peter pan Im sure that car suits your style perfectly :)
Really starting to get the picture Mercedes are still going to be the number one team in 2022
@Samanthaflower I think there would be no more salty haters, because they would not bother watching anymore 😆
Only starting? It became quite obvious that 2021 was fixed for Mercedes as soon as they announced the development freeze and the new reg delay.
So on the book shelves we have: A Ferrari book right be James head and a book on Sir Stirling Moss. By Lewis lid there's Adrian Neweys book plus Moto GP 2019 highlights book. And we also have books on Jackie Stewart, Fangio, Andretti and another just behind James head which is called DAS OFFIZIELLE. Fascinating!
Is it me or does it seem like the talk with James was recorded before the questions were asked.
Almost certainly. It is a very common way to do remote interviews and has been for many years especially on radio.
Happy to see that Will’s well again and can get back to being the reporter we all love!
These guys are so dominant that they can just tell everyone what they are going to do next and still win
“Keeps us all in a job.”
I’m glad even he has a sense of humor (he even chuckled), since he’s probably guaranteed a job on the grid for as long as he wants. (Him and Adrian Newey)
Love how Will's book is in the background behind James.
Mercedes is a perfect team ,they have made a beast car....they will make beast cars in future too..they are not stopping till next 5 years ...love it or hate it.MARK MY WORDS☝️☝️☝️
Best part: me being a fan of F1 enjoying tech talk. 👍
His comments about the PU basically say that Ferrari's (illegal) engine actually has made this W11 even more unbeatable.
Will interviewing James whilst Will's book sits on the shelf. Nice product placement :0
Where is his book?
@@diamondgecko_7127 On the left, third book from above.
James out loud: we found quite a bit more performance under unchanged regulations.
James actual thought: Renault/Ferrari/Honda, do better!
Why didn't Sam get to interview James Allison.... he seems to have a much better handle on technical details :(
I love WIll but Sam is great and he deserves more screen time, this is HIS segment after all.
Thank you, very cool.
Red bull gives you wings.....
Mercedes gives you wins....😂💜
If you have OCD, enjoy the arrow on the bookshelf on the bottom of the screen.
Ah yes my favorite series.
Wen you look at the seasons from the start of these PU's the FIA started with the high rear wing and skinny car, they then changes to slightly wider and lower rear wing, followed by the low slung wide beast of today with more power. Then they said a complete new front wing with all the barge boards, Then they banned Qualifying modes.. Oh and the halo was added at one point yet each time who came out fighting.
The single greatest man-made land vehicle ever created❤️
Even his eyebrows are aerodynamic...!!
This looks like an interview with Tim Apple
Will is really taking over the entire media coverage this weekend eh
Making up for lost time
As he should. He is the most charismatic of all of the team.
It's this teams humble nature that got them this far.
The legend himself we all known for 50 years with the memes of him
I’m sure they already started on the 2021 car, and it will again be the car to beat and again people will cry about that.
Don't have my glasses on and thought that said Allison on the Wii
I think James Allison is a really likeable guy. A true racing fan. He even said in a Q&A on the Mercedes channel that he would love to see the blue flag gone in F1, which just shows you that he cares more about exciting racing than he does about winning.
Oh, I'm sure that at least 80% of the Mercedes engineers are actually true racing fans, which include Toto Wolff. (In fact, Toto Wolff was a racing driver) From what I've seen at Mercedes is that the employees, mechanics and engineers are pretty passionate about their job.
Racing point are watching this back at base with their notebooks and pens out
That's some assortment of books on the shelves behind. Ferrari, Mercedes-Benz, Fangio, Andretti - would love to have such a collection for my study someday....
Are we not gonna talk about the fact James has a book that says "Ferrari" on the shelf?
didnt he use to work there?
@@TheJGJR9 he used to yes
He also has Adrain Newey's book behind him too, safe to say he's probably a pretty big F1 fan.
It’s the master plan. He reads it to make himself laugh when he’s sad.
He's the mastermind behind the SF70h and SF71h, the only Ferrari cars arguably on par with those years' Mercedes car.
Read some comments,.. its basically fundamentally not formula one "1" anymore is it, a pinnacle sport that gets penalised for development, innovation,design, read somewhere that the engineering side is so much held back because of rules regulations?? Then yes it's not a pinnacle sport because it seems to be held back by rules....?
Absolutely brilliant engineering and Lewis and Vialteri push the car to the limits every race
Best f1 car of all time
"Well it keeps us all in a job, you know..." 😄
Sooo nobody’s gonna mention how quite stunning the production quality is? Okay ...moving along. great interview tho!
Am I the only one who looked forward to Sam Collins talking about every car on the grid and would have rather watched this on the Mercedes TH-cam Channel?
Incoming valterri it's James comments even though it's the wrong James
It’s not James Allison it’s James Allen
Next year, I expect to see tracing point have a pink w11
@Samanthaflower yep! Forgot about that part. Might be a W11 in green :D
they developed anti sbinattuimus prime technology
Never clicked so fast
Mercedes 🔥😍🙌
The video ends in 8:13
You're welcome
amazing thank you so much
I didn't know that thanks m8
No one asked though
helped alot.
Thanks, this helped my family relations, my 401k, my marriage, political stances, and life philosophy
@@croatiaboy11 yeah, you're welcome bro
Mercedes AMG Petronas W11, I hereby grant you the title of Sir.
*Knights him
"Valterri it's james, we are making a new car for next season"
Valterri "copy"
edit: it's a joke ik there is another james
This isn’t James Volwes you know that right?
These are THE best cars I’ve ever seen in F1(performance wise and nature of dominance). I know it makes for extremely boring racing but we are witnessing history in front of our eyes. We could tell our children we watched this happen from day 1.
I swear Merc has a dream team from top to bottom
(That's his excited voice)
nice one but we want sam back!
Where's Sam?
Thought that flow-vis was a sick new one-off livery for this weekend for a second. Should have just left it on there it looks sick and if you just told Hamilton its to promote green energy, he'll probably sign quicker for next year
i noticed mercedes has a copy of will's book on the left shelf!
Is nobody noticing the Ferrai book above the head of James?
Nothing against Will but I think this interview would have been even better if it was Sam Collins instead!
Isn't there a race this weekend? Says so on the F1 calendar..
there is, practice tomorrow, then qualy and race sunday, 2 day event rather than 3
Genius.
I love Buxton, but for a tech talk someone presenting a little bit of a calmer, methodical style like Sam would be much appreciated.
I hope they keep the black livery
Who is the best Allison or Newey ?
Allison is amazing, but don't underestimate Aldo Costa. Aldo Costa made the dominant W05-W10.
Sam Collins please!
They removed das in Portimao,and their race pace is even better...no hope
@Chris it was removed for the whole weekend.
Where Sam?
Every other formula one team : takes notes and dislikes the video
Kudos for the FERRARI book on the shelve
F1, it’s James
Wrong james
shhhhh
