Ironically, the smartest student in the class is also the one who is the most willing to share stuff with the public. Well done, Mercedes. You guys deserve all the glory.
They aren't sharing anything that everyone else doesn't already do or know. Some of you people are really easily impressed, to a hilarious level. I wonder how you'd react if they actually started talking about real engineering, and not this superficial stuff meant to impress 8 year olds, he's literally only showing you buttons on a steering wheel, there's absolutely nothing even remotely special about it.
They really said nothing in this video, most of this can be applied to every team on the grid. The true secrets are to do with the development of the car.
They are the team to beat, the overpowered big bad villain that the underdog teams needed to overcome in their hero journey, the reason why races are boring according to many people. I think this is an effort by the Mercedes to build up a more fan friendly image.
@BeyerT1 Wow, I don’t know what happens to you haters these days. Apparently, everyone knows they’re just showing and explaining the buttons on a god damn steering wheel, but do you really think that we, the normal audience, already knew about every detail of the car and the equipment of every team??? Yeah, there’s no secret technology being exposed here, but at least the majority of F1 fans get to take a closer look at what they usually can’t see clearly during live races. People’s curiosity got somewhat satisfied. Isn’t it entertaining? Isn’t it why you choose to watch races rather than take a damn nap? If people are glad to see this kind of “easy” videos being uploaded on TH-cam, then why the bloody hell are other teams not trying to do such an “easy” marketing? Oh..., I forgot that they’re all busy building a midfield car. Don’t pretend like you’re the only one with a brilliant brain.
Imagine in the middle of race, you press all that cheat button, and suddenly wings came out from left and right side and has turbo jet engine and you begin fly out of race track
Just a little secret, they never tell you: the driver actually receives audio feedback when clicking some buttons. For example, when changing the brake balance there is an audio sound to tell them the setting it is in. Stuff like the gear they are in they get that audio feedback from the engine sound directly, but for other stuff this is how it avoids them having to look at the steering wheel all the time. Now you know!

@@zippofire8550 all teams have probably catched up by now so I guess it doesn't matter that much. They didn't share any important info either, they know what to show and what not to.
I can barely take my eyes off the road to change temperature on the climate control or change the radio station! Its mind blowing how these guys can fiddle with brake balance, strat modes, diff settings when everything is moving so fast around you. Amazing.
If you have your car for like a year then you should be able to adjust the radio or AC without looking. Just by feel and knowing how the layout of the dash is. Most modern cars have all these controls in the steering wheel.
I'm not an automobile or a mechanical engineer but I love to hear all the great things from experts like you Mercedes team is doing an absolutely amazing job to teach their fans about F1.
Probably near the end of the season since it will be outlawed next year. They don't want to give other teams insight in case they're developing their own version.
Check Chainbear's channel. I'm pretty certain he's done it. He's got a phenomenal channel explaining virtually everything. Highly recommended for F1 fans.
Ferrari actually has an even more complex steering wheel compared to everyone else on the grid! Just have a look at the number of dials & buttons they have on that wheel!
The more I learn about F1, the more amazed I am with the talent, technology, difficulty, and danger involved in racing. And I thought setting the cruise control and adjusting the radio while driving was dangerous. These guys are freaks of nature. Thanks for a really fun video from a new fan.
Almost never. And that’s why I’m slowly becoming more and more of a Mercedes fan. I used to be so bored of their dominance (still am), but their human rights activism and open education to fans is really cool. I hope Toto doesn’t leave at the end of the year like it’s rumored.
I swear when I was just getting into F1, I was told the bottom of the car and the steering wheel setup were the two biggest things teams try to hide from each other. Therefore this feels like Merc is saying to the other teams: "Just take our secrets! Then maybe you guys will become real competition.". . .I am just saying that this is a top class flex and is another reason why I love this team.
In the past this was certainly true. Today the electronics are all regulated so there isn't much physical trickery going on. That doesn't completely stop programming trucks like Renault (was that last year?).
How can you not love Mercedes after these sort of educational fun videos. It gives me feeling that Mercedes care about their fans around the world and wanted to educate us about technological advancement of our beloved sport. Thank you Mercedes.

Regarding suspension systems, how does a modern F1 system work and what are some aspects of it that are bleeding edge for translation from racing-to-road technologies?
He is so professional and passionate about his work It is not only about the driver it is the whole team that makes it possible. Like the engineering is very important.🔥 Good work guys 👍❤️
As a fan I can say that the steering wheel is the most fascinating aspect of the F1 car. Its small compared to the chassis itself but the steering wheel has to be perfectly made because the driver uses it for so many functions. Its amazing what Mercedes continue to do
I don't they will let out too much details about those things... It will differ from team to team and it really gets so technical that it is hard to grasp it all , even for F1 enthusiast who is having technical background....

i find this so interesting to learn about because the wheels are actually so complicated and I think it’s amazing how easily the drivers use these throughout the race
Well, they're essentially the same on all steering wheels in that all of them have two shift-paddles, and two clutch-paddles, although RP has separate paddles above the shifters for adjusting brake balance, and some other drivers on the left-hand side for operating DRS.
They 3D print the clutch pedals to fit the fingers of each driver perfectly, you can see Hamilton and Bottas have slightly different levers when they use the camera behind the steering wheel during races.

"To get them up to speed on everything they need to know about the wheel" sounds familiar..
Thank you Mercedes, for yet another brilliant video 👌 Top notch stuff on the track and off it as well.
Is it just me or has there been no coverage of the DAS System during the races?
I am asking myself that too haha..
Surly theoretical they will use it at monza ..more neutral toe..more top speed
You hear it on the commentary every now and then. But I'm not sure it has ever been shown.
CableTelcontar Yea that’s what I’m saying they’ve never shown it which is a pity
I think you should do a explanatory video about everything that goes on in a race and all the telemetry and who does who because I am very intrigued on everything that happens in a race
Are you a Racing Point spy?
Lmaoooooo, they already exposing the wheel....
*racing point boutta copy that*
😂😂😂😂
Bro they already have it 😂
Wow! Thank you so much for the explanations. I saw it many times on the family days or Xmas parties and never know what all the buttons for.
Fun fact: Russell really watched this video.
Hand down one of the only team put this much of positive videos for thir fans - Hats off Mercedes - Hats off - Anyways can you do a video on how your pits stop work ? and how you manage do do it so quickly ?
You guys are doing this video every year, do you even change the steering wheel design? 😂😂
No, it's stayed the same since 2014.
Really nice video seems extremely open about everything even DAS very impressive. Mercedes is the best team on the whole spectrum.
