Hate how Mercedes have had a massive advantage for 3-4 years, and as soon as any other team gets anywhere near, they start crying about them using tricks, when nobody has said anything about their PU’s, Aero or chassis
guanwei he I am rooting for basically everyone but Lewis. But that’s just you and the media making a thing out of it and blowing it way out of proportion. He just said they had a few tricks up their sleeve, which is a backhanded compliment to their engineers and mechanics, nothing more or less.
Do you ever feel as if the FIA is biased towards Mercedes I mean Ferrari has had penalties while Mercedes only gets reprimands the only penalty is an engine penalty which if they didn’t give it to Mercedes it would be very obvious that they are biased I swear Ferrari won’t win the championship because of the FIA
If you haven't heard other teams and drivers complain about Mercedes' advantage between 2014 and 2016 you must have been living under a rock. Go watch Daniel Ricciardo's interviews after quali in Australia this year when Hamilton got pole by 7 tenths.
@@Daniel-Ford-Lawther-379 I'm enjoying the title battle too but Horner needs to put down his pint of irony and remember how long he's been wailing about Renault - the supplier who helped him win multiple WCs
He did. Which is why he followed his "tricks up their sleeve" comment with "we need to do better and raise our game." Just as Ferrari did raise their game when they kept going on about Mercedes having a "party mode".
The problem with the Mercedes now is that they're overweight....They have to add extra carbon fiber to the pedal box to sustain Hamilton's kicking and whining when things don't go his way.
They are completely different things, if I may, Hamilton lost fair and square this weekend, and Vettel binned his own home grand prix, they had different reasons to be upset, Hamilton's reason though, a little less mature than Vettel's. That's why people call Hamilton a crybaby.
Naz Adz I don’t think it’s a good thing to have unless the wing somehow bends backwards which provides less drag and thus higher top speed, but it seems pretty impossible because the flexing comes from the end plates wobbling sideways
Naz Adz Bro if you study thermodynamics. Any area that is flexing will cause a disturbance in the air which has no benefit in downforce. If anything it does make is an unstable car. Plus at the low speed cornering it's mechanical grip not aero.
Naz Adz You have to take into account of several factors too such as the material, they way that it is design and many more that could contribute to the wobble so unless you've personally designed for the merc f1 car , you'll know what could cause the wobble. However I can assure you that it is within the rules.
Ferrari should share their fuel with Haas and Sauber at the last race of the season. see if they can lock-out top 6 in qualifying and top 6 in the race. that would make one hell of a statement.
@@matmul4850 The commenter is a dumbass obviously, idk how you interpret "Ferrari had some tricks up their sleeve" as "boo hoo we're losing, let's make up excuses". On my life these fanboys are excruciating to deal with
He clarified that what he meant with tricks was outstanding improvements, not illegal things, and also said *Mercedes also have* their tricks but they need to work harder to outpace Ferrari. He did nothing wrong this time but hate is hate.
@@piyalsinformals9625 Many people here don't speak English as well as Lewis, British people, Canadian people and other native English speakers do. He clearly said that they Mercedes also have, how can you mean that the other is cheating and then say that everyone including yourself is? That doesn't make sense.
He did have the best car overall for 4 straight years though when winning his championships. That's just part of the sport and takes nothing away from his achievments in my eyes.
And what about Mercedes and their tricks with FIA? I mean It's impossible to say that penalties are applied equally to everyone and so far it's seems like Mercs don't get penalized, but other teams (not only Ferrari) do. We need a video about this too.
Crock of shite mate! Ferrari have had there own special rules since day 1 FACT they even get paid more than any other team and how in sports name is that fare??? Its not. Last year Seb attacked lewis by ramming into him and got just 3 points which took him to 11 but the other 8 were spent in just 3 weeks. Any other driver would have had there licence fucking suspended for violently ramming into another car. So your talking absolute bollox mate.
@@kiesesoza what about Germany where Hamilton crossed the pit entry line, all he got was a reprimand when 2 years ago Kimi did the exact same thing in Baku and got a 5 second penalty dropping him off the podium, ever since day 1 the FIA have been busting Ferrari's balls and punishing them just for doing well, look after Schumacher and his 5 year winning streak, rules changed and it took them 3 years to be able to come close to winning a championship, we've had 4 years of Mercedes dominance and no big car changes until 2022
@@ey7290 i agree i was shocked lewis wasnt penalised for that although the confusion was actually down to the guy on the radio. But it turns out no rules were broken mate! And imho ferrari snd big baby vettle do seem to have seperate rules. Just my opinion dude and no offence ever intended.
@@kiesesoza there is a rule in F1 that after a certain line you cannot cross it on the pit entry, Raikkonen crossed the line in Baku in 2016 and got a penalty, Lewis crossed the line in Germany and got no penalty
@@kiesesoza yes Seb di that but only after being brake checked by Hamilton, and drivers have done thinghs worse than that and nobody's licence has ever been suspended. Anyway I was just wondering why they always talk about Ferrari and their tricks/cheats and nobody ever seems to care about Mercedes.
Can Ferrari use multi-fuel engine? It took them long when they brought them in during Q3 so I think it is a good unit and also showing different accelerations so I believe it is using different fuels for different sectors.
LH interview with Jenny Gow was much more loaded. She asked him to explain what he meant with the comments and he replied 'i can't say anymore' . That would have been his opportunity to explain what he meant. If he can't or won't explain he really should have said nothing.
As you see here in the comments, it's no use. Most people don't even watch that part and already have made their mind up. So then it's best to just say nothing.
LOL!! People are desperate to twist Hamilton's word and traduce his motives. In the context that he used the word 'trick' it obviously means 'something new, innovative, clever, interesting and fresh etc'. This is quite old slang, as fluent English speakers should well know.
It's a shame they focus on such rubbish and most must be new to F1 otherwise they'd understand how lucky we are this season and how rarely it occurs in F1 that we currently have 2 of the greatest drivers in opposing teams who both have the machinery to fight for the title on an almost even playing field with the performance of the cars so closely matched and the momentum swinging from race to race and track to track. I've waited years for this very situation but instead the comments are full of people arguing about the personalities of each driver rather than the action on the track which has been the best in years.
It's not what the rules say but what the rules DON'T say. Just think of the many intuitive ways that teams and engineers have used in the past to get ahead of the game. Ground effect cars, under floor fans, double diffusers, blown diffusers, f-ducts. Some where outlawed before they could even be used while others (double diffusers and blown diffusers) were used to great effect. It's just like drug takers in sport: they are always one step ahead.
What's the liquid you keep seeing from the tail end of the Ferrari? Have seen it all year and nobody has explained what it is, why it's spraying out and how it affects the car... would love to know!
So, the FLUFFER (Fake London Urban tuFF guy) doesn’t have an overwhelming car advantage for the first time in literally years and he cries about it. He’s going to pick up his toys and run home now I suppose.
I don't see him crying. He's saying Ferrari have improved and he and Mercedes have got to catch up. What would you expect him to say when he's asked about this again and again? "Ferrari are great! There's no point us even bothering to keep up!"?
I'm glad Ferrari have brought something to the table, this whole era of Mercedes domination was beginning to get seriously boring that being said I find it comical that as soon as Mercedes find themselves on the back foot they start throwing there toys out the pram and accuse the faster team of cheating, this isn't even just from Hamilton; Mercedes senior management have accused Ferrari of this as well this coming from team who had spent millions in developing "trick" suspension. If you look at the stat's this season actually Ferrari would be leading the constructors championship and drivers championship by a significant margin had there not been strategic error and driver errors, I think they need to work on this as Mercedes appear to make the most out of a bad situation where I feel Ferrari don't as of yet. That being said Ferrari are still putting the ice bag over the camera pod whilst the car is on the garage & grid, could it be that they are using the 2 hidden buttons on the steering wheel in order to activate this "electric supercharger" whilst in slow corners at the start of the race and on the straights for extra boost? I noticed that when Vettel was overtaking Hamilton he had his thumb pressed firmly on the section of the steering wheel exactly where these hidden buttons are. Would be interesting to find out.
@@SeanSmith88 No sean, I'm pretty sure I would say something along the lines of "The last 5 years have been boring because Ferrari are dominating" I'm here for the racing and the technical development that's why I'm a formula 1 fan, everything I've said above is fact it's not a hypocracy. I don't want to see ANY team dominating I'd rather it be an equal playing field and let the best drivers race it out but let's face it that's never going to happen is it.
What you fail to understand, is the majority of mercedes senior management were ex ferrari employees. So there're full aware of the 'tricks' ferrari gets up. Amazing what an extra 70m can get you.
"The majority of Mercedes senior management were ex Ferrari employees" No they really aren't. Mercedes AMG F1 employ somewhere in the ballpark of 700 people, and all of about 5 came from Ferrari. "there're full aware of the 'tricks' ferrari gets up." If Mercedes were "full aware" of how Ferrari have overtaken them in development, how the fuck have Ferrari overtaken them in development? Why are Mercedes still saying they don't understand Ferrari's ERS or how they've made such huge steps this season? Just as Whiting said after Spa: The FIA took ages to wrap their heads around the Ferrari ERS system, and no one at Mercedes knows how it works, or they'd be doing the same things. The ex Ferrari guys at Mercedes are mostly aero people. James Allison and Aldo Costa being the two biggest names. Costa retires next year, and Allison is probably the most overrated person in F1, so much so that him leaving Ferrari coincided with a huge performance boost for Ferrari...
F1 fans see a Force India barreling down the straight and they see innocent Princess Peach. They see Ferrari going slightly faster and they see Waluigi laughing maniacally.
I don't quite understand why Ferrari runs a smaller rear wing given the engine power advantage? I thought it was the other way round, so that you can go for more downforce (and equally drag) with the better engine?!
The ferrari car is raked, meaning it makes most of its downforce from ground effects. Like RBR they can run skinny wings without worrying about rear stability. Merc, being low rake doesn't have that ability. The can ferrari has built is revolutionary. The best of both worlds. It's raked and long wheel based, plus they can effectively seal the floor.
How was Lewis quoted out of context, the context was a live interview after the race. The world and its grandma were watching. The only people changing the context are those trying to excuse the biggest pet lip in the paddock.
@L.GH. Djoetma that would be to interpret, not to quote out of context, or indeed misinterpret, which is an opinion. Which from only seeing the live interview I do not share. I agree with @Rima R it was a deliberate insinuation of foul play by Lewis, like the 'interesting tactics' comment. The position that Hamilton thought it was unfair was supported by Hamilton's Mercedes boss, Toto Wolff supported by saying,: "It is human nature that if you are outperformed on track, you look at yourself, and then you look at your competitors. If you can't find an explanation then you imagine all the nasty things. Which would suggest to me that Merc are not convinced of the fairness of the Ferrari. Now there may be an argument that I have quoted Toto out of context to give a false impression but not Lewis. Which is all beside the point to my comment.
Glad you're intelligent and grown up enough to understand that. Most fans get *easily triggered* these days when Vettel, Hamilton and Alonso open their mouth to say anything.
I think he's saying what we all know - Ferrari have found something to give them an edge. I don't think he's saying it's illegal, its just a trick to make the most out of their package.
"quoted massively out of context" What are you talking about? I've seen it in context and I'm convinced that he was implying "illegal" in that sentence. The whole wording is stupid anyway, no one ever uses the word "trick" for "simple" technical development.
Yes they do. Mercs "party mode," was a "trick," that the other manufacturers were late on catching onto and was perfectly legal under the regs as they stood. The wording is often used to mean something extra special like saying "my road car has a trick suspension setup," which just means it's better than standard and has no negative implications at all. You just want to hate on Lewis rather than enjoy the first proper title fight between 2 great drivers for the first time in years in F1. Instead you seem more interested in a personality contest between the 2 when you should really be enjoying the action on track instead.
Not a master psychologist, just basic observations reading between the lines. Look how much you've inferred yourself from the simple use of one word in Lewis' statement. I'm simply suggesting that the use of the word "trick," doesn't give you the insight into Lewis' thinking that you are implying. I'm very open to you setting me straight on how I interpreted your little rant about Lewis and freely admit I'm projecting a lot from the rest of the comment sections general tone and could be totally off the mark.
@Braveheart I appreciate your openness towards the possibility of being wrong. The point where you are wrong is, that I’m not interested in a personality-contest at all and I do appreciate the title fight very much. And you are correct that IF I based my judgement only on that one instance of using the word “trick” it would not be justifiable. However, given that LH has not taken any of the given opportunities of explaining what he meant and given that he’s been back-handly accusing Ferrari of things like “interesting tactics” (to be fair he’s taken that back in a later interview) in the past I feel I have a good case that LH didn’t use the word “trick” in that instance in a neutral way.
Thanks for taking the time to explain your pov more in depth in a civil and friendly manner. I apologise for jumping the gun when it was actually the 3 or 4 preceding comments I read that had got me annoyed given how many years I've been praying for a close fight between the two drivers where they both have as equal and capable machinery as we could hope to see. I really hope to see the title decided at the last race with both guys at their best and without reliability of the cars being a factor. I really have great respect for all the top drivers and think they do pretty well considering the severe scrutiny they are always under these days. Lewis does seem to idolise Senna who had a victim hood mentality also (deservedly so given how the FIA treated him) and maybe that's where Lewis gets his paranoid thinking from. IDK just a little theory I came up with. Have a good day fellow F1 fan.
Lets be honest. Mercedes had been on top for a long time and suddenly for Ferrari to jump to the top of the performance ladder well, it does make one a little suspicious. We normally associate Mercedes with detailed engineering and their performance is to be expected after so much effort. With Ferrari suddenly jumping to top of the grid, we have to ask some questions.
We asked the same with Brawn in 2009... They were the remnants of the EarthDreams Honda and went from the bottom to the top with a stronger engine than the previous year, and a stronger design than the previous year... I see similarities between the BGP car and the SF71H
A thumbnail image for another video is appearing on top of your video for about the last 20 seconds. Just making Autosport aware that its content in this video is obfuscated.
And Shell made that classic ad with all the Ferrari F1 cars from the last 50 years, I especially liked the part with Rubens Barrichello screaming down the beachfront in Sao Paulo.
It's colloquial English, you'll hear things about someone fitting their car with "trick suspension", it just means something good or effective without either knowing why or having to explain why. When someone says they have a few "tricks up their sleeve" they don't mean they've got magic tricks hidden up their sleeves, or that they are intent on deception. It just means they've got some techniques ("tricks") in reserve which they are either keeping to themselves or can't be bothered to explain. So, what anyone who grew up in England, who doesn't have an axe to grind, will understand was that Hamilton was saying Ferrari are quicker so they've found something to develop that Mercedes can't understand. That it was a message to Mercedes, pull your fingers out, we're missing something.
I agree with you that it sounds more like that usage of the word. It's more of a slang usage. like "Trick suspension" it means some unique design etc. I still think he's a whiney bitch tho, after having 4 years of dominance he is a bad loser.
No doubt Hamilton is a sore loser but it's not unusual for highly successful individuals to have that as a personality trait. They often employ the me against the unfair world approach to motivate themselves to push themselves and their teams beyond what others who are just happy to be there making the numbers up ever achieve and in the past guys like Senna and Schumie were no different but just weren't under the same level of scrutiny as the current drivers. The usage of the word trick also doesn't necessarily mean anything more than Ferrari have developed their car in a better way than the Mercs which is beyond the understanding of the Mercs team and engineers just like how Renault could have quite rightly described the Mercs party mode as a trick they failed to pick up on in the past few years without implying there was cheating involved.
Senna always made it clear in the press whenever he had a car disadvantage and, unsurprisingly, didn't ever talk about how unfair it was when he had the best car. I cannot think of a single, top level driver who hasn't spent time pointing out every disadvantage they have had in the past 30-years. Alonso, Vettel and Hamilton have been the top drivers for the best part of the decade and none of them are good losers. Their sulking is different in style, but they are all sore losers. I think a lot of that has to do with the level of safety. Prior to the 1980's drivers had good reason to celebrate if they just made it through a race uninjured. Losing a race in those circumstances has less of a sting, particularly to someone who is sharing those risks.
Was there ever a team dominating more than 4 years? Red Bulls domination went 4 years, Mercedes does seem to last 4 years, McLaren in the 80s went about 4 years etc.
lewis needs to stop beeing so unsportmenlike with calling it tricks, they just didnt do a good job this year, and mercedes calling the kettle black where their "trick" ended up beeing illegal oil burning.
How does tricks automatically mean illegal? They have made significant gains in the engine department, so they obviously found a trick that no-one else knows about. Whether it is legal or not, who knows besides Ferrari?
I'd ignore Marco FD, just a troll like the rest of them, trying to get "likes" because its popular to shit on hamilton. Only one team has been found guilty of tricks which they were forced to change in monaco...
People just love to single out Lewis for criticism and it's for no real reason . He's an emotional guy but to accuse him of sulking and whining is un fair , vettel is far worse and more likely to ram another car out of spite. Comments by Lewis about the Ferrari weren't sulks just observations .
What if Ferrari recovers energy to give to the electric motor instead of letting it out though the gearbox. Or if they have a specially built turbo capable of handling higher temp so they can let some fuel out to the turbo to make it spin all time high, very high. If you haven't noticed these are just speculations I have no idea what I am talking about.
I am a Ferrari and Sebastian fan 100% but Hamilton didn’t mean anything other than there car is good. The problem is that at the British Grand Prix, Hamilton called Kimi making a mistake “interesting tactics”. Couple that with the Mercedes-requested investigations around Monaco/Azerbaijan time done by the FIA and you have have people who think one harmless quip by HAM was a criticism. He meant nothing by it more then “their engine is quite good.”
Teams have been accusing each other for years. Last year RBR accused merc of oil burning. Before that, ferrari got mercedes and RBR's 'trick' suspension banned. As they did with FRIC, minimum tire pressure, etc etc. Ferrari, illegal mirrors were banned, as were their flexy floor and 3rd oil tank.
It's good to see some Sebastian fans who understand reality as it is and speak themselves out when their rival is being unfairly blamed. You're a fantastic man👍
SS Booty thank you! but it really just comes down to the fact that these are the two greatest drivers of the modern age (2010-2020) and they respect each other massively. I mean they joke around with each other in press conferences, they don’t bash each other personally in public, and they don’t relish each others mistakes. If Seb respects Lewis, then his fans should as well and vise versa.
Bahamuttiamat 100% correct and I think that it’s fine; if you were a team principal you’d do the same. But it makes Ferrari fans mad, for some reason. As far as I’m concerned, let them look.
'Quoted out of context?' Do me a favour - he knew damn well that the word 'trick' would be misconstrued by his more knuckle-dragging members of his fan base, and everyone would then start screaming about Ferrari cheating. He's cool with that, and has got 'form' on this approach. After the shit hits the fan, he does his usual tactic, withdraws the comment, or back-pedals - by which time it's too late as whatever untruth it is has entered the F1 ether and cyperspace and people will always believe it. I have never known a champion, let alone a 'normal driver' who wins, or loses, with such little grace and sportsmanship. Given that the car he drives is usually the class of the field, that's pretty shitty.
Hamilton really gave Ferrari a compliment lol. He also highkey praise them by saying he was pushing the whole race but they just had the faster car/pace, which is him basically saying to the guys at the factory we gotta come with something to challenge the ferrari's btw i have vettel winning the championship this year.
Sorry but this is just plain idiocy. What we saw in the lap one was simply a SLIPSTREAM. If the Ferrari was so much faster due to the engine, what the hell was happening with both FORCE INDIAS?!?!
Theblahblahgames this was both. Manu Ngneer a double batteries is very obvious so the fia would have find it easily. Also a batterie is very heavie so it wouldnt even pass the mass measurement
Finally some *techinaly detailed criticism* worthy of this channel, even if people disagree with your comment. As opposed to the childish drivel I'm reading today in the comment section.
It doesn't work like that. It's capacity that matters. in parallel you get higher current for same voltage. So larger current but it would drain the batteries twice as fast. so no real advantage. In series you double your voltage but that would just fry your electrical systems if they are not designed to run at higher voltage. And at higher voltage you reduce current. It's more to do with capacity and it seems they have found a more efficient way to get energy from the MGU-H into the battery pack. so they seem to replenish used capacity quicker. Or they use it in reverse and use the battery pack to spin that motor and create turbo boost at lower speed/rpm when the exhaust is not at full pressure. But again, these cars already have energy harvesting and anti lag so it seems to be that they have found a more efficient way of doing it, better energy recovery, and more battery capacity to deploy more regularly.
The problem is that even if he meant "something effective", I wouldn't trust him, he is prone to say crap to try to shit others like when he accused ferrari and kimi of "interesting tactics", so I don't believe it.. I think given the history of hamilton, he actually meant something fishy..
Last year Hamilton claimed he didnt Go flat out through eau rouge to mess up Vettels run, but this year, using Hamilyon's own words, Vettel, who claimed he tought a lot about It the previous night, "had the perfect Gap" to be able to slipstream by... So... It was not Just Power or wing ajustment diferences... There were also some clever thinking and great driving from Vettel's part too
When Merc adds a so called "party mode" in their car, its totally fair and a wow factor, but when the guys in Maranello does an amazing job to get the better out of their power train, increase the straight line speed and improved the acceleration - it is a trick for Merc and Lewis. Without a doubt Ferrari's SF71H has been the best machine on the grid so far. Its unfortunate that Seb had ill fate in Germany and unlucky in France. But they came back strong. Even in Hungry Seb had the better car. After summer break its definitely Ferrari who has come up with the better engines after tuning it. One statement from Hamilton after Belgium GP says it all "in the first lap, Seb drove past me as if i was not in the race" Forza Ferrari... go get it this time... we have waited for this too long since 2007
Lewis is just surprised by the new developments. If you are used to always been in the front and suddenly you are no longer winning all the races, it becomes a new confusing realisation.
Mercedes were never really operating in any grey areas of the regulations regarding the power unit. Charlie Whiting cast doubt on the legality of the Ferrari power unit during the Monaco Grand Prix. However, he basically said it wouldn't be possible for the FIA to install the necessary devices to monitor their output properly before 2019. Mercedes did the best job in developing for the new 2014 regulations by focussing more effort and attention on the new power units during 2012-13 by sacrificing performance and results for those years. When you see a team achieve massive gains literally from one race to the next it will always raise eyebrows. I'm not saying they're cheating ... but the door is wide open for speculation. That Whiting said they needed "additional monitoring for Canada" but then adding in the same sentence "further sensors could be added to improve monitoring next year" is in its self an admission that they don't fully understand how they are operating or the legality of it.
Hamilton said nothing but there is alots of strong speculation that Ferrari is bending the rule just like last year they used their illegal trick suspension to lower the ride height in straightline
Mercedes F-ed UP when they went for a LOOOOOONG wheel base, they know it but wont ADMIT it (already) And why are Ferrari covering up the onboard cameras.... what could they be hiding in the cockpit???
We’ll put after 5 years hard to keep motivated also the new rules nobody knew were to go still try finding what it all about Mercedes was so much ahead wait &see kind attitude also reduces the cost for big team was a lot unknown Ferrari was trailing for a while time to raise up to look better
Great competitiveness from the teams. As a Mercedes man myself - I’m not gonna cry foul, coz it’s better to see them play underdog for a minute to see where all this ends up. I hate when teams are so good that they have a clear advantage over the rest of the field for too long - poor for the sport in general. I hated the Schumacher years and that period really ruined watching the sport for me.
People think Ham meant "trick" to mean that there was some crafty and possibly illegal stuff going on there because AMG seems to make inquiries to the FIA regarding Ferrari about every 10 minutes. Part of the problem is that AMG is probably cheating and are thinking that how can anyone possibly be faster than them without cheating. Kind of funny to watch.
Vettel violently rammed lewis last year and actually tried to stick it on lewis for brake testing, just a month befire the little german bratt-at his-worst accused valtery of jumping the light just because he timed it better than he could. So stop hating on lewis cause by matter of fact hes already one of the sports legends and still drivin and not to mention how much more dificult his early days were compared to most born into privalage yeah!
Ably time that the Mercedes era is being challenged. To be honest I would like Mercedes more of there wasn’t Hamilton driving. Bottas is a cool dude tho
To be honest, I would like TH-cam comment sections a lot more if people knew how to spell and punctuate correctly. P.S.: I just read a comment where some idiot spelled "though" as "tho"...
Fadezeroo LMAO If Hamilton did not signed that Mercedes contract Mercedes would leave F1 cause the results where poor and shareholders didn't want to pour more money on it. Hamilton is the reason why Mercedes is still in F1 so STFU with your dumb comment you fucking idiot, you don't have a reason to dislike him so STFU
Hussein Ahmed They said that Ferrari could be going around the rules and taking advantage of it. I don't see or hear anything that has to do with Ferrari hate.
There was no taking words out of context, you could tell that Lewis was hinting that Ferrari has some illegal upgrade, because (sarcasm incoming) how dare someone other than Mercedes have the best car! They must be breaking the rules!
vettel fans saying Vettel is better than Hamilton attitude wise im guessing baku, Germany never happened? of course not. everything hamilton says or anything British ppl say on Hamilton is immediately not allowed to talk nor correct by default acording to haters logic.
Here are things people don’t take into consideration when they claim a team is “cheating” or using “tricks” 1). If the rules do not specifically address the modification, then it isn’t cheating, rather coming up with a new technique or device 2). F1 still does not have all the dicks in a row for all aspects of the organization. To my knowledge, all the teams must use the same tire brand, yet in this video the tech explains that Ferrari is using Shell fuel. Again, not breaking a rule if it isn’t stated. Enforcing one brand for the season would make it easier to catch a cheat that adds anything to the fuel in a post race examination 3). A power unit that is designed within the rpm and HP specs can have different characteristics such as more torque on low end, etc. again, advancing the technology on hand to fit the technology mandated by F1 All this has been going on for decades. There are a handful at most of organizations that are very specific on tech and guidelines which reduces any chance of cheating. A great example is The V8 Supercar series out of Australia. All cars have the same gearbox with the same ratios, only being able to adjust one aspect of the drivetrain. Curb weight, displacement and HP limits, tires, fuel, etc are spelled out specifically, making the series a nail biter every event.
I put Shell Premium Diesel Fuel in my Mercedes B200 AMG Sport (2:15) and find it gives me an ExTRA 6mph and 3 mpg increase ☻ I would venture to suggest that Ferrari are adding 'Ethanol' 'Butanol' or 90° proof Straight Whisky and are therefore not playing by the 'rules' of an 'even playing field' After 'Spa' I failed a "Breath Test" purely by following 'Seb' Fortunately dismissed by my good friend agreed 'Charlie' when he had a 'sniff' If you look really carefully at (2:30) you can clearly see a empty bottle of 'Chivas Regal' in the corner. ♚
Hate how Mercedes have had a massive advantage for 3-4 years, and as soon as any other team gets anywhere near, they start crying about them using tricks, when nobody has said anything about their PU’s, Aero or chassis

Just as Ferrari did raise their game when they kept going on about Mercedes having a "party mode".
Hamilton said 'tricks' in a non serious way, more of a backhanded compliment to ferrari's engineering team.
''they completely blitz us, vettel drove an excellent race. we have to do better''
Cletus Spuckler I'm glad somebody finally gets what Lewis is saying thank you
All teams work within the limits/occasionally beyond if they get away with it
The problem with the Mercedes now is that they're overweight....They have to add extra carbon fiber to the pedal box to sustain Hamilton's kicking and whining when things don't go his way.
Brandon lol, best connect I’ve ever seen
Thanks for making me laugh mate
Ferrari too. Did you see Vettel's hissy fit in Germany? I doubt any of the controls in that car survived...
They are completely different things, if I may, Hamilton lost fair and square this weekend, and Vettel binned his own home grand prix, they had different reasons to be upset, Hamilton's reason though, a little less mature than Vettel's.
That's why people call Hamilton a crybaby.
Oliver Watson Vettel was rightfully frustrated with himself for fucking things up. Nothing wrong with that
@@Just_That_Guy910
It's great to see hypocrisy in the Formula 1 community as always...
What about Mercedes rear wing spoken about on Sky Italia?
Naz Adz I don’t think it’s a good thing to have unless the wing somehow bends backwards which provides less drag and thus higher top speed, but it seems pretty impossible because the flexing comes from the end plates wobbling sideways
guanwei he it must have some benefit otherwise it wouldn’t flex like all the other teams
Naz Adz Bro if you study thermodynamics. Any area that is flexing will cause a disturbance in the air which has no benefit in downforce. If anything it does make is an unstable car. Plus at the low speed cornering it's mechanical grip not aero.
Naz Adz You have to take into account of several factors too such as the material, they way that it is design and many more that could contribute to the wobble so unless you've personally designed for the merc f1 car , you'll know what could cause the wobble. However I can assure you that it is within the rules.
if it‘s not red, then why report it ?
*InTeReStInG tACtIcS*
Ferrari should share their fuel with Haas and Sauber at the last race of the season. see if they can lock-out top 6 in qualifying and top 6 in the race. that would make one hell of a statement.
Lewis Hamilton is really the drama queen of F1.....

LW cry too much maybe he want race like others 3 4 years...
nah just you people choosing to be offended
"Interesting Tactics"and now "tricks". We are not fools, we understand what Hamilton meant. He's just the worst personality there in the grid.
He clarified that what he meant with tricks was outstanding improvements, not illegal things, and also said *Mercedes also have* their tricks but they need to work harder to outpace Ferrari. He did nothing wrong this time but hate is hate.
Not understanding whats between the line is just ignoring for the sake of blind defending. Blind fanboism is blind fanboism
@@piyalsinformals9625 Many people here don't speak English as well as Lewis, British people, Canadian people and other native English speakers do. He clearly said that they Mercedes also have, how can you mean that the other is cheating and then say that everyone including yourself is? That doesn't make sense.
yet you piyals are blindly hating with that great logic of yours
He was more likeable during his early years in f1. I think his rude and loud hip hop black friends shaped his personality to the worse.
"Ferrari's F1 "tricks" explained" and yet you guys only add speculation...quality journalism!
In Silverstone he said...'what an interesting tactics' and now...its a trick....but actually its real 'MAGIC'
This is the first time for Vettel to drive in the F1 championship with the most powerful engine since 2008.
He did have the best car overall for 4 straight years though when winning his championships. That's just part of the sport and takes nothing away from his achievments in my eyes.
And what about Mercedes and their tricks with FIA? I mean It's impossible to say that penalties are applied equally to everyone and so far it's seems like Mercs don't get penalized, but other teams (not only Ferrari) do.
We need a video about this too.
Crock of shite mate! Ferrari have had there own special rules since day 1 FACT they even get paid more than any other team and how in sports name is that fare??? Its not. Last year Seb attacked lewis by ramming into him and got just 3 points which took him to 11 but the other 8 were spent in just 3 weeks. Any other driver would have had there licence fucking suspended for violently ramming into another car. So your talking absolute bollox mate.
@@kiesesoza what about Germany where Hamilton crossed the pit entry line, all he got was a reprimand when 2 years ago Kimi did the exact same thing in Baku and got a 5 second penalty dropping him off the podium, ever since day 1 the FIA have been busting Ferrari's balls and punishing them just for doing well, look after Schumacher and his 5 year winning streak, rules changed and it took them 3 years to be able to come close to winning a championship, we've had 4 years of Mercedes dominance and no big car changes until 2022
@@ey7290 i agree i was shocked lewis wasnt penalised for that although the confusion was actually down to the guy on the radio. But it turns out no rules were broken mate! And imho ferrari snd big baby vettle do seem to have seperate rules. Just my opinion dude and no offence ever intended.
@@kiesesoza there is a rule in F1 that after a certain line you cannot cross it on the pit entry, Raikkonen crossed the line in Baku in 2016 and got a penalty, Lewis crossed the line in Germany and got no penalty
@@kiesesoza yes Seb di that but only after being brake checked by Hamilton, and drivers have done thinghs worse than that and nobody's licence has ever been suspended. Anyway I was just wondering why they always talk about Ferrari and their tricks/cheats and nobody ever seems to care about Mercedes.
Can Ferrari use multi-fuel engine? It took them long when they brought them in during Q3 so I think it is a good unit and also showing different accelerations so I believe it is using different fuels for different sectors.
Been waiting on this video since Sunday!
LH interview with Jenny Gow was much more loaded. She asked him to explain what he meant with the comments and he replied 'i can't say anymore' . That would have been his opportunity to explain what he meant. If he can't or won't explain he really should have said nothing.
As you see here in the comments, it's no use. Most people don't even watch that part and already have made their mind up. So then it's best to just say nothing.
Lewis could say water is wet and hater parade would criticize him. It's unbelievable.
LOL!! People are desperate to twist Hamilton's word and traduce his motives. In the context that he used the word 'trick' it obviously means 'something new, innovative, clever, interesting and fresh etc'. This is quite old slang, as fluent English speakers should well know.
They know exactly what he means, but won't pass up an opportunity to degrade his name. Straight hater logic.
It's a shame they focus on such rubbish and most must be new to F1 otherwise they'd understand how lucky we are this season and how rarely it occurs in F1 that we currently have 2 of the greatest drivers in opposing teams who both have the machinery to fight for the title on an almost even playing field with the performance of the cars so closely matched and the momentum swinging from race to race and track to track. I've waited years for this very situation but instead the comments are full of people arguing about the personalities of each driver rather than the action on the track which has been the best in years.
proof that ferrari was better car but hamilton was a far better driver
It's not what the rules say but what the rules DON'T say. Just think of the many intuitive ways that teams and engineers have used in the past to get ahead of the game. Ground effect cars, under floor fans, double diffusers, blown diffusers, f-ducts. Some where outlawed before they could even be used while others (double diffusers and blown diffusers) were used to great effect. It's just like drug takers in sport: they are always one step ahead.
What's the liquid you keep seeing from the tail end of the Ferrari? Have seen it all year and nobody has explained what it is, why it's spraying out and how it affects the car... would love to know!
So, the FLUFFER (Fake London Urban tuFF guy) doesn’t have an overwhelming car advantage for the first time in literally years and he cries about it. He’s going to pick up his toys and run home now I suppose.
You reek of INCEL 😂
Rk20, he does, doesn't he. Lol. Stop hating chads'
I don't see him crying. He's saying Ferrari have improved and he and Mercedes have got to catch up. What would you expect him to say when he's asked about this again and again? "Ferrari are great! There's no point us even bothering to keep up!"?
I'm glad Ferrari have brought something to the table, this whole era of Mercedes domination was beginning to get seriously boring that being said I find it comical that as soon as Mercedes find themselves on the back foot they start throwing there toys out the pram and accuse the faster team of cheating, this isn't even just from Hamilton; Mercedes senior management have accused Ferrari of this as well this coming from team who had spent millions in developing "trick" suspension. If you look at the stat's this season actually Ferrari would be leading the constructors championship and drivers championship by a significant margin had there not been strategic error and driver errors, I think they need to work on this as Mercedes appear to make the most out of a bad situation where I feel Ferrari don't as of yet. That being said Ferrari are still putting the ice bag over the camera pod whilst the car is on the garage & grid, could it be that they are using the 2 hidden buttons on the steering wheel in order to activate this "electric supercharger" whilst in slow corners at the start of the race and on the straights for extra boost? I noticed that when Vettel was overtaking Hamilton he had his thumb pressed firmly on the section of the steering wheel exactly where these hidden buttons are. Would be interesting to find out.
Hyperezil so what will you say after next 5 years when ferrari dominate? You will obviously say nothing you hypocrite
@@SeanSmith88 No sean, I'm pretty sure I would say something along the lines of "The last 5 years have been boring because Ferrari are dominating" I'm here for the racing and the technical development that's why I'm a formula 1 fan, everything I've said above is fact it's not a hypocracy. I don't want to see ANY team dominating I'd rather it be an equal playing field and let the best drivers race it out but let's face it that's never going to happen is it.
This reminds me of Benetton in 1994.
What you fail to understand, is the majority of mercedes senior management were ex ferrari employees. So there're full aware of the 'tricks' ferrari gets up. Amazing what an extra 70m can get you.
"The majority of Mercedes senior management were ex Ferrari employees"
No they really aren't. Mercedes AMG F1 employ somewhere in the ballpark of 700 people, and all of about 5 came from Ferrari.
"there're full aware of the 'tricks' ferrari gets up."
If Mercedes were "full aware" of how Ferrari have overtaken them in development, how the fuck have Ferrari overtaken them in development? Why are Mercedes still saying they don't understand Ferrari's ERS or how they've made such huge steps this season? Just as Whiting said after Spa: The FIA took ages to wrap their heads around the Ferrari ERS system, and no one at Mercedes knows how it works, or they'd be doing the same things.
The ex Ferrari guys at Mercedes are mostly aero people. James Allison and Aldo Costa being the two biggest names. Costa retires next year, and Allison is probably the most overrated person in F1, so much so that him leaving Ferrari coincided with a huge performance boost for Ferrari...
F1 fans see a Force India barreling down the straight and they see innocent Princess Peach. They see Ferrari going slightly faster and they see Waluigi laughing maniacally.
I don't quite understand why Ferrari runs a smaller rear wing given the engine power advantage? I thought it was the other way round, so that you can go for more downforce (and equally drag) with the better engine?!
The ferrari car is raked, meaning it makes most of its downforce from ground effects. Like RBR they can run skinny wings without worrying about rear stability. Merc, being low rake doesn't have that ability. The can ferrari has built is revolutionary. The best of both worlds. It's raked and long wheel based, plus they can effectively seal the floor.
How was Lewis quoted out of context, the context was a live interview after the race. The world and its grandma were watching. The only people changing the context are those trying to excuse the biggest pet lip in the paddock.
The interpretation of his words. They quoted it and then stated that he meant Ferrari did something illegal.
Quoted out of context? like interesting tactics? I sometimes wonder which one is the biggest disgrace in F1's history, Shamilton or her fans!!
@L.GH. Djoetma that would be to interpret, not to quote out of context, or indeed misinterpret, which is an opinion. Which from only seeing the live interview I do not share.
I agree with @Rima R it was a deliberate insinuation of foul play by Lewis, like the 'interesting tactics' comment.
The position that Hamilton thought it was unfair was supported by Hamilton's Mercedes boss, Toto Wolff supported by saying,: "It is human nature that if you are outperformed on track, you look at yourself, and then you look at your competitors. If you can't find an explanation then you imagine all the nasty things.
Which would suggest to me that Merc are not convinced of the fairness of the Ferrari. Now there may be an argument that I have quoted Toto out of context to give a false impression but not Lewis.
Which is all beside the point to my comment.
My grandma missed that interview.
Always love these videos

Glad you're intelligent and grown up enough to understand that.
Most fans get *easily triggered* these days when Vettel, Hamilton and Alonso open their mouth to say anything.
I think he's saying what we all know - Ferrari have found something to give them an edge. I don't think he's saying it's illegal, its just a trick to make the most out of their package.

@@martine8056 If they don't have rage boners against Lewis and keep open minds, it shouldn't. But they do, and now we have to deal with them....
"quoted massively out of context"
What are you talking about? I've seen it in context and I'm convinced that he was implying "illegal" in that sentence. The whole wording is stupid anyway, no one ever uses the word "trick" for "simple" technical development.
Yes they do. Mercs "party mode," was a "trick," that the other manufacturers were late on catching onto and was perfectly legal under the regs as they stood. The wording is often used to mean something extra special like saying "my road car has a trick suspension setup," which just means it's better than standard and has no negative implications at all. You just want to hate on Lewis rather than enjoy the first proper title fight between 2 great drivers for the first time in years in F1. Instead you seem more interested in a personality contest between the 2 when you should really be enjoying the action on track instead.
@Braveheart
wow, you surely know so much about me and what I think based on those 2 sentences I wrote...
You must be some kind of master-psychologist!
Not a master psychologist, just basic observations reading between the lines. Look how much you've inferred yourself from the simple use of one word in Lewis' statement. I'm simply suggesting that the use of the word "trick," doesn't give you the insight into Lewis' thinking that you are implying. I'm very open to you setting me straight on how I interpreted your little rant about Lewis and freely admit I'm projecting a lot from the rest of the comment sections general tone and could be totally off the mark.
@Braveheart
I appreciate your openness towards the possibility of being wrong. The point where you are wrong is, that I’m not interested in a personality-contest at all and I do appreciate the title fight very much.
And you are correct that IF I based my judgement only on that one instance of using the word “trick” it would not be justifiable. However, given that LH has not taken any of the given opportunities of explaining what he meant and given that he’s been back-handly accusing Ferrari of things like “interesting tactics” (to be fair he’s taken that back in a later interview) in the past I feel I have a good case that LH didn’t use the word “trick” in that instance in a neutral way.
Thanks for taking the time to explain your pov more in depth in a civil and friendly manner. I apologise for jumping the gun when it was actually the 3 or 4 preceding comments I read that had got me annoyed given how many years I've been praying for a close fight between the two drivers where they both have as equal and capable machinery as we could hope to see. I really hope to see the title decided at the last race with both guys at their best and without reliability of the cars being a factor. I really have great respect for all the top drivers and think they do pretty well considering the severe scrutiny they are always under these days. Lewis does seem to idolise Senna who had a victim hood mentality also (deservedly so given how the FIA treated him) and maybe that's where Lewis gets his paranoid thinking from. IDK just a little theory I came up with. Have a good day fellow F1 fan.
***LAUNCH CONTROL***
Question ..what specificly makes ferrari faster? Ehhh stronger power unit ...and it whispers in the corner....dude just a I DONT KNOW...will do.
I think this competition between Ferrari and Mercedes is great. This is the way in which the sport advances.
Lets be honest. Mercedes had been on top for a long time and suddenly for Ferrari to jump to the top of the performance ladder well, it does make one a little suspicious. We normally associate Mercedes with detailed engineering and their performance is to be expected after so much effort. With Ferrari suddenly jumping to top of the grid, we have to ask some questions.
We asked the same with Brawn in 2009... They were the remnants of the EarthDreams Honda and went from the bottom to the top with a stronger engine than the previous year, and a stronger design than the previous year... I see similarities between the BGP car and the SF71H
A thumbnail image for another video is appearing on top of your video for about the last 20 seconds. Just making Autosport aware that its content in this video is obfuscated.
I'm surprised there isn't more focus put into the fuels used by each team.
Shell's had a strange brew of fuel for years now and Ferrari has always taken advantage of it.
'Strange' or 'technically advanced'? Use of words my friend, looks like you are taught by Hamilton himself.
All the fuels used by F1 teams are strange brews, your street car probably couldn't run on them, Shell seems to be the most advanced of the fuels.
Shell V-Power is clearly better than Petronas Synthium.
And Shell made that classic ad with all the Ferrari F1 cars from the last 50 years, I especially liked the part with Rubens Barrichello screaming down the beachfront in Sao Paulo.
but so why for Ferrari is difficult to reach the two first pole?
It's colloquial English, you'll hear things about someone fitting their car with "trick suspension", it just means something good or effective without either knowing why or having to explain why. When someone says they have a few "tricks up their sleeve" they don't mean they've got magic tricks hidden up their sleeves, or that they are intent on deception. It just means they've got some techniques ("tricks") in reserve which they are either keeping to themselves or can't be bothered to explain. So, what anyone who grew up in England, who doesn't have an axe to grind, will understand was that Hamilton was saying Ferrari are quicker so they've found something to develop that Mercedes can't understand. That it was a message to Mercedes, pull your fingers out, we're missing something.
I agree with you that it sounds more like that usage of the word. It's more of a slang usage. like "Trick suspension" it means some unique design etc. I still think he's a whiney bitch tho, after having 4 years of dominance he is a bad loser.
No doubt Hamilton is a sore loser but it's not unusual for highly successful individuals to have that as a personality trait. They often employ the me against the unfair world approach to motivate themselves to push themselves and their teams beyond what others who are just happy to be there making the numbers up ever achieve and in the past guys like Senna and Schumie were no different but just weren't under the same level of scrutiny as the current drivers. The usage of the word trick also doesn't necessarily mean anything more than Ferrari have developed their car in a better way than the Mercs which is beyond the understanding of the Mercs team and engineers just like how Renault could have quite rightly described the Mercs party mode as a trick they failed to pick up on in the past few years without implying there was cheating involved.
Senna always made it clear in the press whenever he had a car disadvantage and, unsurprisingly, didn't ever talk about how unfair it was when he had the best car. I cannot think of a single, top level driver who hasn't spent time pointing out every disadvantage they have had in the past 30-years. Alonso, Vettel and Hamilton have been the top drivers for the best part of the decade and none of them are good losers. Their sulking is different in style, but they are all sore losers. I think a lot of that has to do with the level of safety. Prior to the 1980's drivers had good reason to celebrate if they just made it through a race uninjured. Losing a race in those circumstances has less of a sting, particularly to someone who is sharing those risks.
well said....someone with sense instead of haters
Ferrari tricks = better engine. End of discussion
Better reliability
Was there ever a team dominating more than 4 years? Red Bulls domination went 4 years, Mercedes does seem to last 4 years, McLaren in the 80s went about 4 years etc.

How does tricks automatically mean illegal?
They have made significant gains in the engine department, so they obviously found a trick that no-one else knows about. Whether it is legal or not, who knows besides Ferrari?
What the hell was "unsportsmanlike" about what he said??
Jeez, people love to *overreact* to everything these days!
I'd ignore Marco FD, just a troll like the rest of them, trying to get "likes" because its popular to shit on hamilton. Only one team has been found guilty of tricks which they were forced to change in monaco...
you guys need to turn your mics up or something. i always have to turn my volume up way high when you guys talk.....
People just love to single out Lewis for criticism and it's for no real reason . He's an emotional guy but to accuse him of sulking and whining is un fair , vettel is far worse and more likely to ram another car out of spite. Comments by Lewis about the Ferrari weren't sulks just observations .
I just came to read comments complaining that people are complaining about drivers that are complaining.
Anything that you don’t understand is a “trick”
"Tricks" aka. Hamilton not switching to 8th gear for some reason...
He stayed in 7th the whole time.
What if Ferrari recovers energy to give to the electric motor instead of letting it out though the gearbox. Or if they have a specially built turbo capable of handling higher temp so they can let some fuel out to the turbo to make it spin all time high, very high. If you haven't noticed these are just speculations I have no idea what I am talking about.
I am a Ferrari and Sebastian fan 100% but Hamilton didn’t mean anything other than there car is good. The problem is that at the British Grand Prix, Hamilton called Kimi making a mistake “interesting tactics”. Couple that with the Mercedes-requested investigations around Monaco/Azerbaijan time done by the FIA and you have have people who think one harmless quip by HAM was a criticism. He meant nothing by it more then “their engine is quite good.”
Teams have been accusing each other for years. Last year RBR accused merc of oil burning. Before that, ferrari got mercedes and RBR's 'trick' suspension banned. As they did with FRIC, minimum tire pressure, etc etc. Ferrari, illegal mirrors were banned, as were their flexy floor and 3rd oil tank.
It's good to see some Sebastian fans who understand reality as it is and speak themselves out when their rival is being unfairly blamed.
You're a fantastic man👍
SS Booty thank you! but it really just comes down to the fact that these are the two greatest drivers of the modern age (2010-2020) and they respect each other massively. I mean they joke around with each other in press conferences, they don’t bash each other personally in public, and they don’t relish each others mistakes. If Seb respects Lewis, then his fans should as well and vise versa.
Bahamuttiamat 100% correct and I think that it’s fine; if you were a team principal you’d do the same. But it makes Ferrari fans mad, for some reason. As far as I’m concerned, let them look.
They forgot to put that "recently updated Shell fuel" into Kimi's car...
'Quoted out of context?' Do me a favour - he knew damn well that the word 'trick' would be misconstrued by his more knuckle-dragging members of his fan base, and everyone would then start screaming about Ferrari cheating. He's cool with that, and has got 'form' on this approach. After the shit hits the fan, he does his usual tactic, withdraws the comment, or back-pedals - by which time it's too late as whatever untruth it is has entered the F1 ether and cyperspace and people will always believe it. I have never known a champion, let alone a 'normal driver' who wins, or loses, with such little grace and sportsmanship. Given that the car he drives is usually the class of the field, that's pretty shitty.
Hamilton really gave Ferrari a compliment lol. He also highkey praise them by saying he was pushing the whole race but they just had the faster car/pace, which is him basically saying to the guys at the factory we gotta come with something to challenge the ferrari's btw i have vettel winning the championship this year.
😂😂🤣🤣🤣hello douche
Hockenheim... 25 free pts gonna be tough to over come.. 18 now?
It’s pretty obvious that Hamilton meant “little innovations” or “new and clever ideas”, he even clarified that he meant nothing illegal.
end of the day its not what the regulations say, its what they don't say.
Sorry but this is just plain idiocy.
What we saw in the lap one was simply a SLIPSTREAM.
If the Ferrari was so much faster due to the engine, what the hell was happening with both FORCE INDIAS?!?!
With two batteries instead of one, could Ferrari possibly switch them from parallel to serial arrangement for temporary bursts in voltage?
The Ferraris were monitored by the FIA all throughout the weekend in Monaco. 😑 edit (I think it was Monaco or canada)
Theblahblahgames this was both. Manu Ngneer a double batteries is very obvious so the fia would have find it easily. Also a batterie is very heavie so it wouldnt even pass the mass measurement
Finally some *techinaly detailed criticism* worthy of this channel, even if people disagree with your comment.
As opposed to the childish drivel I'm reading today in the comment section.
It doesn't work like that. It's capacity that matters. in parallel you get higher current for same voltage. So larger current but it would drain the batteries twice as fast. so no real advantage. In series you double your voltage but that would just fry your electrical systems if they are not designed to run at higher voltage. And at higher voltage you reduce current. It's more to do with capacity and it seems they have found a more efficient way to get energy from the MGU-H into the battery pack. so they seem to replenish used capacity quicker. Or they use it in reverse and use the battery pack to spin that motor and create turbo boost at lower speed/rpm when the exhaust is not at full pressure. But again, these cars already have energy harvesting and anti lag so it seems to be that they have found a more efficient way of doing it, better energy recovery, and more battery capacity to deploy more regularly.
@Andrew Small true. Thermal management is very important in F1
why couldn't mercedes also run a higher rake and lower wing setup?
Failed the public by no investigation of the fuel use. Peak fuel flow can be increased between FIA measurements.
The problem is that even if he meant "something effective", I wouldn't trust him, he is prone to say crap to try to shit others like when he accused ferrari and kimi of "interesting tactics", so I don't believe it.. I think given the history of hamilton, he actually meant something fishy..
Are you a fanboy ? Hating on Merc !!!
Last year Hamilton claimed he didnt Go flat out through eau rouge to mess up Vettels run, but this year, using Hamilyon's own words, Vettel, who claimed he tought a lot about It the previous night, "had the perfect Gap" to be able to slipstream by... So... It was not Just Power or wing ajustment diferences... There were also some clever thinking and great driving from Vettel's part too
Love how people complain about Lewis and valterri being at Mercedes but they didn’t when Schumacher was there hmm that’s quite a lot of bias
When Merc adds a so called "party mode" in their car, its totally fair and a wow factor, but when the guys in Maranello does an amazing job to get the better out of their power train, increase the straight line speed and improved the acceleration - it is a trick for Merc and Lewis. Without a doubt Ferrari's SF71H has been the best machine on the grid so far. Its unfortunate that Seb had ill fate in Germany and unlucky in France. But they came back strong. Even in Hungry Seb had the better car. After summer break its definitely Ferrari who has come up with the better engines after tuning it. One statement from Hamilton after Belgium GP says it all
"in the first lap, Seb drove past me as if i was not in the race"
Forza Ferrari... go get it this time... we have waited for this too long since 2007
Lewis is just surprised by the new developments. If you are used to always been in the front and suddenly you are no longer winning all the races, it becomes a new confusing realisation.
What do they mean the "factory Ferrari"?
Interesting tactics used here to explain the tricks
This video aged like fine wine.
only to be midfield team 🤣🤣
Mercedes were never really operating in any grey areas of the regulations regarding the power unit. Charlie Whiting cast doubt on the legality of the Ferrari power unit during the Monaco Grand Prix. However, he basically said it wouldn't be possible for the FIA to install the necessary devices to monitor their output properly before 2019. Mercedes did the best job in developing for the new 2014 regulations by focussing more effort and attention on the new power units during 2012-13 by sacrificing performance and results for those years. When you see a team achieve massive gains literally from one race to the next it will always raise eyebrows. I'm not saying they're cheating ... but the door is wide open for speculation. That Whiting said they needed "additional monitoring for Canada" but then adding in the same sentence "further sensors could be added to improve monitoring next year" is in its self an admission that they don't fully understand how they are operating or the legality of it.
Tricks as in “tricks up their sleeves.” It’s a euphemism, nothing more.
Hamilton said nothing but there is alots of strong speculation that Ferrari is bending the rule just like last year they used their illegal trick suspension to lower the ride height in straightline
‘The word trick has been grabbed by a lot of people’.
Including your video title.
Mercedes F-ed UP when they went for a LOOOOOONG wheel base, they know it but wont ADMIT it (already)

Feels like when you overtake a dirty driver in iRacing. "Nice cheats! Reported".
Great competitiveness from the teams. As a Mercedes man myself - I’m not gonna cry foul, coz it’s better to see them play underdog for a minute to see where all this ends up. I hate when teams are so good that they have a clear advantage over the rest of the field for too long - poor for the sport in general. I hated the Schumacher years and that period really ruined watching the sport for me.
Look at the guy in back, from 2:00 to 2:08 total deer in the headlights..
People think Ham meant "trick" to mean that there was some crafty and possibly illegal stuff going on there because AMG seems to make inquiries to the FIA regarding Ferrari about every 10 minutes. Part of the problem is that AMG is probably cheating and are thinking that how can anyone possibly be faster than them without cheating. Kind of funny to watch.
Now, can I quit saying Ferrari has the fastest car... or do I still need to say it to get through all your thick skulls.?
FINALLY someone, anyone, other than Mercedes, has a power advantage. Its been way too long
Vettel violently rammed lewis last year and actually tried to stick it on lewis for brake testing, just a month befire the little german bratt-at his-worst accused valtery of jumping the light just because he timed it better than he could. So stop hating on lewis cause by matter of fact hes already one of the sports legends and still drivin and not to mention how much more dificult his early days were compared to most born into privalage yeah!
Do Not Delete MGU-H pls
Ferrari engineering baby, deal with it.
Looks like he is, +30 points after Monza.
this is what makes f1 ... true racing. run what you brung
Ably time that the Mercedes era is being challenged. To be honest I would like Mercedes more of there wasn’t Hamilton driving. Bottas is a cool dude tho
I only support Mercedes because Hamilton is driving for them
Bottas was a cool dude when he drove for Williams... Now he's a wimp, who only drives to defend Hamilton...
To be honest, I would like TH-cam comment sections a lot more if people knew how to spell and punctuate correctly.
P.S.: I just read a comment where some idiot spelled "though" as "tho"...
Fadezeroo LMAO If Hamilton did not signed that Mercedes contract Mercedes would leave F1 cause the results where poor and shareholders didn't want to pour more money on it. Hamilton is the reason why Mercedes is still in F1 so STFU with your dumb comment you fucking idiot, you don't have a reason to dislike him so STFU
Oliver Watson just saying it’s called slang sorry grandpa
You keep hating on Ferrari, because how good they improved?! You, and the FIA keep bouncing on Mercedes AMG's balls!
Hussein Ahmed They didn't hate Ferrari. They never did lmao.
@@itzthedude971 watch the rest of their videos "lmao"
Hussein Ahmed They said that Ferrari could be going around the rules and taking advantage of it. I don't see or hear anything that has to do with Ferrari hate.
Hussein Ahmed You're the one who can't comprehend their points that they are trying to convey to the audience. So yes, lmao.
Josh Haines Lol nice.
Ferrari keep playing Kimi dirty tho..
the smoke that comes out of my car gives speed cause the engine of my car burns fuel to give speed idk thatsmy thought
There was no taking words out of context, you could tell that Lewis was hinting that Ferrari has some illegal upgrade, because (sarcasm incoming) how dare someone other than Mercedes have the best car! They must be breaking the rules!
Ferrari use 2 batteries, Mercedes didn't think of that and thats why they're complaining
vettel fans saying Vettel is better than Hamilton attitude wise
im guessing baku, Germany never happened? of course not.
everything hamilton says or anything British ppl say on Hamilton is immediately not allowed to talk nor correct by default acording to haters logic.
According to them, both Singapore 17 and Germany 18 never happened.
Whatever you say Hamilton fanboy
So seb is human and allowed to make mistake but god forbid lewis does or says anything. Fuck you.
you brits are getting a little nervous now that you dont have a car that is 1 sec/lap faster than everyone else..
I am just better than christian and toto...end of story. Lets go for a monza 1/2!
Maurizio a questa gente gli comincia a bruciare il culo. Ciao
Here are things people don’t take into consideration when they claim a team is “cheating” or using “tricks”
1). If the rules do not specifically address the modification, then it isn’t cheating, rather coming up with a new technique or device
2). F1 still does not have all the dicks in a row for all aspects of the organization. To my knowledge, all the teams must use the same tire brand, yet in this video the tech explains that Ferrari is using Shell fuel. Again, not breaking a rule if it isn’t stated. Enforcing one brand for the season would make it easier to catch a cheat that adds anything to the fuel in a post race examination
3). A power unit that is designed within the rpm and HP specs can have different characteristics such as more torque on low end, etc. again, advancing the technology on hand to fit the technology mandated by F1
All this has been going on for decades. There are a handful at most of organizations that are very specific on tech and guidelines which reduces any chance of cheating. A great example is The V8 Supercar series out of Australia. All cars have the same gearbox with the same ratios, only being able to adjust one aspect of the drivetrain. Curb weight, displacement and HP limits, tires, fuel, etc are spelled out specifically, making the series a nail biter every event.
Lol, Mercedes doesnt have the power advantage... :) Of course, two british journalists...
I put Shell Premium Diesel Fuel in my Mercedes B200 AMG Sport (2:15) and find it gives me an ExTRA 6mph and 3 mpg increase ☻
I would venture to suggest that Ferrari are adding 'Ethanol' 'Butanol' or 90° proof Straight Whisky and are therefore not playing by the 'rules' of an 'even playing field'
After 'Spa' I failed a "Breath Test" purely by following 'Seb'
Fortunately dismissed by my good friend agreed 'Charlie' when he had a 'sniff'
If you look really carefully at (2:30) you can clearly see a empty bottle of 'Chivas Regal' in the corner. ♚
It was already suspected Ferrari cheated back then and now we know they do lol
I wonder what “tricks” Mercedes used for the last 4 seasons
