@@coconato10 Okay I explained myself wrong so you're actually right, I meant to say cars that were setup with understeer because yes those cars naturally slided since aero and mechanical grip were almost non existent back then but I swear I read somewhere that Senna just put understeery setup into those cars.
i just realised alonso uses front tyre slip angle to go faster while raikkonen uses rear tyre slip angle theyre total opposites 1 talks alot,the other barely talks kimi won his wdc while wearing red,alonso won while wearing blue kimi prefers oversteer,alonso prefers understeer hamilton idolizes kimi while hamilton and alonso have a bad relationship
@WolfeF1Explained I think on the Top Gear (might have a different name now) documentary about him or something else that raised Clark was so quick because he kept momentum of the car through the corners. The Lotus' were extremely light, and any big movements if the steering wheel would destroy your lap times. Someone like Alonso or Raikkonen, who need big movements of the steering wheel wouldn't be as fast as Clark if they drove his Lotus. Another reason why he was so fast was his legendary ability to be easy on the components. His Lotus' were extremely fragile and needed a cautious driver on the components to finish the race. His smooth driving style meant the components of the car would not have as much wear as someone like Rindt or Peterson, who loved to slide the car around aggressively. Clark would probably be a very fast driver in the modern era, since these cars prefer a smooth driving style and the tyres are fragile, whilst he probably wouldn't be quick in the early 2000s since you had to be very aggressive all the time to get the best out of the car.
Well I guess I find out my driving style, I like to brake late and steer early into the corner, it is extremely hard to drive like this and nail it in every corner without drifting the car, driving smooth but aggressive, thanks a lot
Does driving style come naturally or do you need to try out all of them and decide what works best for you? Or, do you practise and sharpen the habits you naturally have and shape them into a 'driving style'?
You practice first to feel what the grip limit is. Then you can determine how you like to reach and stay on the limit of grip. Everyone is different in that way.
@@WolfeF1Explained I play on Assetto Corsa and i still dont feel the grip limit after about a year of playing with a G29. I have quick reflexes so if im lucky enough to visually see the grip going even in the slightest, I can usually correct the oversteering car, but I can never really feel it. Weirdly enough I can almost always feel or atleast predict the car snapping during weight transfer tho. Thats why I almost always have to setup my cars to understeer as to not constantly spin out. Is this just a matter of skill or is there more to it?
Since the G29 is quite light, I would recommend holding the wheel really light and trying to feel as much as possible. You need the information to react to the slides and keep the car on the limit. I would recommend watching Suellio Almeida. He explains this very well. I gained more than 2 seconds a lap after just watching his videos and practicing!
Juan Pablo Montoya had a very similar style. Even me myself loved a Understeery setup when I was kart racing and later in Porsche cup. However the only disadvantage of this style was that you use to much of your rear tires. Look around my lap in Czechia during the Central Eastern European Championship. th-cam.com/video/G2rarUA_fuM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=wjZUccjR8qRjRRGR
@@peterscrimizzi8137 No it’s was clearly understeer that he prefered, that was the reason why he struggled with the MP4/20 back in 2005, when the car suited Raikkonen better
@@Ilkeryiit Montoya was comfortable with a loose car under him. Thats why he is suited to nascar. He was always known as an oversteer driver when he was in indy cars series too. His style is particularly suited to high power cars with oversteer.
a car's dynamics will change under braking, throttle, aero load/balance, track surface. It's more predictable for the car to be biased in one direction than bouncing back and forth between under/oversteer.
This is my favourite driving style of all time. It's a shame that you can't drive like this in a modern F1 car.
king of understeer
100%
Didn't Senna drove with understeery cars as well?, because if so Imma have to disagree
@@KanzaiDoriftoz no senna drove the most oversteery cars of his era
he only used understeery aero for safety reasons

@@KanzaiDoriftoz in sennas era almost everyone drove understeery cars for safety reasons and only had oversteer bias for mechanical grip

theyre total opposites
1 talks alot,the other barely talks
kimi won his wdc while wearing red,alonso won while wearing blue
kimi prefers oversteer,alonso prefers understeer
hamilton idolizes kimi while hamilton and alonso have a bad relationship
Good pickup!
Hamilton and Alonso are actually and always were pretty good buddies, the media attempts to portray them otherwise but it's a good friendship.
This one gonna be a little bit difficult for you: Jim Clark's driving style
It will be difficult.

Sounds good! Another smooth driver in the era of aggression.
Clark was four wheel drift master
Could you do a video on Robert Kubica? He is one of the biggest what ifs
Definitely!

I know I’m late but you would probably do good with a smooth understeer setup

i think it come naturally, some nationality's tend to have more aggressive or passive drivers, with exceptions of course

Yeah that is very true. Nice driving by the way!
It is true, it feels like smooth sailing into the corners but in karting when you steer in early on an low grippy surface you can drift really easily
I gotta disagree. Montoya was an oversteer driver. He always steered cars from the back end.

Is there anything inherently wrong with a perfectly balanced F1 car? Or is it just unattainable? Would it be the fastest?
Unattainable! But cars with the least amount of extreme oversteer or understeer are usually better.
a car's dynamics will change under braking, throttle, aero load/balance, track surface. It's more predictable for the car to be biased in one direction than bouncing back and forth between under/oversteer.
