The "brake light" is actually an indicator for the ERS system. If the light is blinking, that means the driver is harvesting energy, no light means that they are deploying the energy! They also stay on for wet races, or low visibility. Cool little bit to see when you are watching the broadcasts!!
@@christofferrsnes9508 i highly doubt that f1 uses EV just because they’re not capable of producing a consistent power output long enough for them to be able to race the way F1 does
@@MrGooberZ The battery is used to give the cars more horsepower for brief periods. All drivers can only use a certain amount of energy deployment during a lap. The battery depletes during this, and excessive use will drain the power and leave the driver with little to no energy therefore meaning slower laptimes and vulnerable to cars behind. The car recharges the battery under braking and recycling kinetic energy produced by the cars. So the batteries do in fact reach below 10% and cannot last a race distance. That is why the recharging exists
Are you serious? F1's powertrains have been full on Hybrid since 2014...they've been using KERS since 2009. So F1's have been using EV power for propulsion since 2009. The first iteration 2009-2014 was pretty weak and generated by Kinetic Energy Recovery Systems that also redeployed it back into the drivetrain for some extra boosts. Since 2014 it was more full on with Turbo, ERS and even heat being transferred into electricity. They use the MGU-H (H for heat) to spin up turbo's or keep them spinning when lifting off in order to get boost fast and they use MGU-K (K for Kinetic) to put braking force into electricity and vice versa putting an extra 160hp into the drivetrain. Altogether peak power is ±1000hp from a 1.6 liter V6 Turbo Hybrid.@@MrGooberZ So yeah F1 uses EV.

i went to an f1 exposition and i saw the real deal vs these show cars side by side... honestly, these are not accurate at all, you can definetly spot which one is the real car in an instant,its like a merry go round horse vs a real horse
@@robertocp50 I'm sure most of the differences are proprietary and unique to whatever set up the actual car is running. If it's not on this show car they aren't allowed to replicate it. Also I'm pretty sure a front and rear wing on a real F1 car is the same price as this entire show car so I doubt you'd want it to be any more authentic.
The Number 77 on the car belongs to Valtteri Bottas, who finished the 2022 season in 10th place. His best result that year was P5 at the Imola GP (one of two races held in Italy that season) Valtteri has 10 race wins overall (all with Mercedes) and 67 podiums ( 9x Williams / 58x Mercedes) which is one podium short of the most podiums without a championship-win. Bottas best results in the drivers standings is 2nd (2019 / 2020). BTW: @4:10 - It is not a brake light, but has several functions: In wet conditions it increases visibility and under dry conditions it flashes when the ERS system is used (to recharge the battery) and also in the pit lane to increase the visibility of the vehicle.
To clarify, the show car isn't based on the CAD of the actual cars themselves, but of a default FIA show car that's built to the regulations, but isn't representative of what the teams are actually running. There are too many secrets on each car to do that.
Actually red bull was the only team to use the fia car as a show car. All other teams launched with real designs (albeit from earlier on in the development. The FIA car was based on an older version of the spec and would be illegal under the 2022 regs. You can clearly tell this isn't the fia car by the cooling louvres, the fia car had soap dish side pods like the ferrari with contoured vents, this is clearly alfas own design
@@acesseu4991 yes it obviously wasn't the real thing, you and I just watched the same video. It was more true to design than you might think. The only differences I spotted were non-adjustable front and rear wings, wheel nuts were different, interior was barebones fake exhaust pipe and floor aero was simplified. Other than that it was real carbon, real tires, real wheel and real design.
"Only missing the engine itself" and the computers, the electronics, the gearbox, the fire extinguishers, the batteries, the fluids, the brakes etc etc
Back then cars were simpler with barely any electronic and aerodynamic put into creating them and instead just focus on the engine. Nowadays shape of the cars are more complex, more electronic, safety features and better overall material.
Have you checked how much each F1 car cost to make? The engine alone is $10 millions which is majority of the cost. Pretty sure this is just a show car that was used as promotion events so half the parts are not even to the real one because the wing alone can cost a quarter million to just produced
I love Alfa Romea it's sad to see them struggle. But $250,000 sounds reasonable for a replica made by the team. It has great potential for an amazing sim.
The show car has more differences from the real car rather than just the lack of engine. The show car body/aero is wildly different. The general shape is the same but if you look at the actual details it is a completely different car.
Normally show cars are very different but not this one. It is a genuine C42 that potentially raced. You can tell by the engine cover, suspension and sidepods.
Its not a car its a carbon fibre model. There are no race car parts on it. Its been nowhere near the race team and doesn't share any components. I know where and how its made
@@Hammertime4404That is wrong . Plenty of visible elements are different. The absence of the tiny whole usually located at the tip of the front wing alone would probably make you unable to survive a race distance .

There is a crotch belt, which is fed from underneath the driver, mounted at the same spot as the lap belt.

While your sat in the cockpit, there is one key element not in place which is the headrest. There is a rule in F1 that drivers with all the fire suits, underwear, boots, gloves, Helmet and HANS device have five seconds to undo seatbelts, remove steering wheel and exit the car after an incident
Best sport on earth! Hopefully Las Vegas lives up to the hype when F1 rolls into town at the weekend.

its not a brake light at the end of the car, it is the rain light or ers light, its active if the car charges the batery or when its rainy, it has nothing to do with the brakes
11:03 FIA, the organization thats in charge of the Formula 1 series, makes each driver do a test where they have to exit the car in less than 10 seconds before each race or race weekend. The driver must undo the belts, remove the steering wheel, and exit the car in less than 10 seconds. At least, i think it's 10 seconds. Might be 8.
when you mentioned the paint and competition losing personality, its already happened sorta. the weight saving was so severe this years (2023) most cars got rid of paint to save it. thus more exposed carbon on most of the cars this year.
The Glen is too small for modern F1 cars on top of that the track would have to be updated to Class 1 level to host a race. Its its currently Class 2. US only has two Class 1 circuits, Indy and Austin.
I'm a Brit so Lewis all the way for me!. So awesome you got one in the studio. By the way my S21 Ultra Latercase is STILL going strong after 18 months!
I sat in the 2017 McLaren at Goodwood, it really is so tight. The drivers have to be able to get out within 5 seconds, this isn't a meh if you can, it's an actual rule which they are tested against.
Very interesting! You could have been a little better informed about the differences to the real car though. (e.g. DRS actuator, rim covers , headrest, wheel nuts, etc) The aerodynamic elements look highly simplified overall as well . Understandable but you could have mentioned . The only thing ridiculous is the ride height .
This car and the real race car don't share any components at all. Saying the only difference between that show car and the race car is the lack of an engine is flat out wrong. And if it did, it would cost 8 times that, if not more. And they aren't built by the teams either. Also that's the rain light not the brake light, have you really watched a f1 race? You don't have to lie, you could have just been honest and still presented this fun video.
I wonder how realistic it would be to put a K24 in it with a turbo. Could have your own F1 track car lol. I would imagine though that it's a lot more barebones than what he is saying. Suspension/brakes/etc...
could you imagine getting your hands onto the same screen setup that drivers have onto their cars when they pit during practice and quali. then hook up Multiview F1 app to that and have set of in cars and live timing data on there. and as a icing on the cake put the main tv broadcast onto the screen on the steering wheel. then watch the race while sitting in your own F1 car. Dear Santa! i think if you take a look at your list, you see that i have been REALLY good boy this year. So there is this F1 car showcar...
thats not a break light , raining light for wet race ,and for the light indictor for energy recovery charge the battery and release the energy, usually use for defense when the car behind you in DRS range and try to overtake you .
10:50 A common complaint amongst drivers, so they made it bigger for the 2023 cars 10:59 Drivers have to do a test to be able to get out of the car within a set amount of time to be able to compete
$250k for an F1 car actually doesn’t seem that bad… pretty similar to many other super cars and I’m sure the F1 is more powerful… I’d expect it to be closer to the million mark
i wonder if a show car like this could be modifiable and functional enough to be driven after adding a custom engine and such. surely would be an eye catcher on your local track haha
They say everything is spec except for the engine. I see the DRS in the wing isn't installed. It looks like the wing is fixed and the actuator linkage isn't there. I can assume the internal components aren't there as well.
So boom in terms of getting out of the car the drivers do actually have a way of getting out fast. The reason behind this is because the FIA do a test before each season given the drivers 7 seconds (it’s somewhere in that ballpark) to remove the wheel get out of the car and place the wheel back into the car. This is for safety reasons if the car is on fire after a crash. And or when a crash happens the driver can remove themselves And the Marshalls trackside can then move the car as quickly as possible and as safe as possible
I can't believe Anker had so much pull to have a genuine F1 car for a TH-cam channel. I know it's not running anymore since it's the 2022 but that's still quite a bit of cachet to pull this off.
It should have some kind of engine, because the it could be turned into a car that can be legally driven on a public street. It just needs turn signals and stuff like that.
I don't watch F1 but I I'm noticing some things. First, those cars are massive, much bigger than I thought. They are the same length and width as my family's car. Two, just thinking about how these drivers are going hundreds of miles per hour for many laps at a time with mere seconds to catch a breathe is impressive. Third, going that fast, I imagine the slightest hiccup may result in disaster.
The main difference between a show car and a real F1 car is the floor and the side of the floor. in a showcar its flat carbon on the side, on a real car you all kind a small winglets/shapes shaped in the carbon to increase or decrease airflow and there for create downforce. The modern F1 cars can pull up to 5G under braking or cornering. (that is 5 times your weight). Thats why you laydown in the car for the heavy braking and getting you butt as low as possible the perfect weight balance and center of gravity. if they change the seat position more straight you ll change the position of the mass and therefor you lose corneringspeed. The riders changes every lap 6 tot 10 times the settings on the steeringwheel of brakebalance, enginebraking and differential settings to brake or cornerexit as fast as possible. it s really incredible what these cars and riders can do.
What's your favorite F1 team?
Merc, Mclaren, Aston
Mercedes petronas of course lol
ANYTHING BUT FERRARI

11:03 FIA, the organization thats in charge of the Formula 1 series, makes each driver do a test where they have to exit the car in less than 10 seconds before each race or race weekend. The driver must undo the belts, remove the steering wheel, and exit the car in less than 10 seconds.
At least, i think it's 10 seconds. Might be 8.
It’s 5 seconds to get out, and another 5 to reinstall the steering wheel.
Dude spent literally 15 minutes stating the obvious. He actually said nothing.
when you mentioned the paint and competition losing personality, its already happened sorta. the weight saving was so severe this years (2023) most cars got rid of paint to save it. thus more exposed carbon on most of the cars this year.
Keep up the great unboxing videos!!!
Unboxing an F1 car is truly great!
@@sand.4520Yohane Tsushima also loving these F1 unboxing.
As a long time American F1 fan it makes me happy we have more American fans like back in the 70s and 80s. If only we could get The Glen back!
wouldn't Watkins be too small for the current cars to race at? although I would love to see a show run there
The Glen is too small for modern F1 cars on top of that the track would have to be updated to Class 1 level to host a race. Its its currently Class 2. US only has two Class 1 circuits, Indy and Austin.
@@pandre5458bring Sonoma and Sebring into F1.
I'm a Brit so Lewis all the way for me!.
So awesome you got one in the studio.
By the way my S21 Ultra Latercase is STILL going strong after 18 months!
‘English’ stop using British it’s not real
Lewis is the goat
I sat in the 2017 McLaren at Goodwood, it really is so tight. The drivers have to be able to get out within 5 seconds, this isn't a meh if you can, it's an actual rule which they are tested against.
Very interesting! You could have been a little better informed about the differences to the real car though. (e.g. DRS actuator, rim covers , headrest, wheel nuts, etc) The aerodynamic elements look highly simplified overall as well . Understandable but you could have mentioned .
The only thing ridiculous is the ride height .
Cool to see, as somebody who's just working here for the team in Hinwil, Switzerland. Enjoy.
This car and the real race car don't share any components at all. Saying the only difference between that show car and the race car is the lack of an engine is flat out wrong. And if it did, it would cost 8 times that, if not more. And they aren't built by the teams either. Also that's the rain light not the brake light, have you really watched a f1 race? You don't have to lie, you could have just been honest and still presented this fun video.
The light in the back is not a brake light. It’s used for the rain and for the battery (ers) and more
This is awesome! I don’t even know what I’d do with a full sized replica lmao
Sim rig :)
Have your friends push you down the street while you steer and make vroom! sounds like when you were a kid 😂😂😂
@@fetzie23 TRUE!!!!!!
@@lifeisgood7762 childhood me would love that hahaha
@@fetzie23it would be crazy with that 'Volume' display system from the mandolorian
the "high up cam" is a tcam and usually it will have a diffrent color on each car to tell them apart.
I wonder how realistic it would be to put a K24 in it with a turbo. Could have your own F1 track car lol. I would imagine though that it's a lot more barebones than what he is saying. Suspension/brakes/etc...
could you imagine getting your hands onto the same screen setup that drivers have onto their cars when they pit during practice and quali.
then hook up Multiview F1 app to that and have set of in cars and live timing data on there.
and as a icing on the cake put the main tv broadcast onto the screen on the steering wheel.
then watch the race while sitting in your own F1 car.
Dear Santa! i think if you take a look at your list, you see that i have been REALLY good boy this year.
So there is this F1 car showcar...
Orlen in petrol industrial company form Poland
thats not a break light , raining light for wet race ,and for the light indictor for energy recovery charge the battery and release the energy, usually use for defense when the car behind you in DRS range and try to overtake you .
You watch F1 yet you call it a brake light.
I saw this car last year live and fell in love with this one in particular... its beautiful...
Speechless
The mast is the strongest part of an f1 car, so that's not a bad place to grab onto.

10:50 A common complaint amongst drivers, so they made it bigger for the 2023 cars
10:59 Drivers have to do a test to be able to get out of the car within a set amount of time to be able to compete
$250k for an F1 car actually doesn’t seem that bad… pretty similar to many other super cars and I’m sure the F1 is more powerful… I’d expect it to be closer to the million mark
It's not one of the real F1 cars from Alfa Romeo/Sauber, but a demo/show car (no DRS at the rear wing). No powerunit included.
Hello fellow Jayden, it's not a real f1 car. It's a show piece.
its just a shell. running f1 car will cost you in the tens of millions
this thing does not even have an engine and transmission
That's just for the shell. The full price of a current F1 car is around $15 million.
1:35
Don’t you worry. What looks like a dead fly is actually part of Alfa Romeos aero package 😂
That is not a brake light. It flashes when car slows down due to being recharging the battery of ERS system
That car is not missing just the engine, it’s also missing drs and several other features
When rich people buy formula 1 cars and don’t know a thing about formula 1 cars, for example, thinking the red light at the back is a brake light.
Best place to grab would be the giant black T as that is what the cranes use to lift the vehicles by.
Unbox Therapy went to GOD level , no one is gonna beat him, he is far beyond others reach
i wonder if a show car like this could be modifiable and functional enough to be driven after adding a custom engine and such. surely would be an eye catcher on your local track haha
2022 is sauber group's best season since the start of hybrid era
Wow. Would have never imagined we are not getting a view from perspective of the person to see how much is this much.
You have no idea how big these cars are until you see one in person.. I had the opportunity to see last years Red Bull
Oh yeah and the drivers are also in there helmets and gear and everything and they can really look around that much as Hans does limit head movement.
They say everything is spec except for the engine. I see the DRS in the wing isn't installed. It looks like the wing is fixed and the actuator linkage isn't there. I can assume the internal components aren't there as well.
Pretty sure there are old actual F1 cars on auctions somewhere, not show cars, but probably a lot more expensive
i believe that drivers have their own personalised sit that you have to take it in with your, you are missing that sit.
Before they race, drivers must demonstrate they can get out of the car within five seconds would of been hilarious to seen an attempt of that haha
3:20 why you gotta show my boy Checo crashing out at home :( hahaha
I'm so glad you featured Alfa Romeo. Best livery on the grid.
1:35 well, that fly can fly pretty fast I guess
So boom in terms of getting out of the car the drivers do actually have a way of getting out fast. The reason behind this is because the FIA do a test before each season given the drivers 7 seconds (it’s somewhere in that ballpark) to remove the wheel get out of the car and place the wheel back into the car. This is for safety reasons if the car is on fire after a crash. And or when a crash happens the driver can remove themselves And the Marshalls trackside can then move the car as quickly as possible and as safe as possible
It's 7 seconds.
@@trev3971 coool thanks
1:34 that car "flys" 🤣
fun fact ....prior to each race a driver has to do a time trial getting out of the car.
The placements of the sponsors is also a lot to do with money. The more money, the bigger the logo and more prominent the placement
Alright, it seems like it's reaching Fast & Furious extremes now. The only way to up the ante is to send Lew into space. 😂
I can't believe Anker had so much pull to have a genuine F1 car for a TH-cam channel. I know it's not running anymore since it's the 2022 but that's still quite a bit of cachet to pull this off.
It should have some kind of engine, because the it could be turned into a car that can be legally driven on a public street. It just needs turn signals and stuff like that.
every pro gamer wanting to get their hands on a showcase F1 car to turn into the mother of all simulators^^
Did anybody else notice the dead fly @1:34 .. guess it adds to the aerodynamics :)
1:35 a dead fly just chilling on the car
anyone notice the dead fly lmao
I don't watch F1 but I I'm noticing some things. First, those cars are massive, much bigger than I thought. They are the same length and width as my family's car. Two, just thinking about how these drivers are going hundreds of miles per hour for many laps at a time with mere seconds to catch a breathe is impressive. Third, going that fast, I imagine the slightest hiccup may result in disaster.
And to clarify, that's a 6 point harness, not a 4 point.
This is Unbox Therapy at it's Best
8:20 «There's a button here that says drink!» - F1 Fans: 😏
The main difference between a show car and a real F1 car is the floor and the side of the floor. in a showcar its flat carbon on the side, on a real car you all kind a small winglets/shapes shaped in the carbon to increase or decrease airflow and there for create downforce. The modern F1 cars can pull up to 5G under braking or cornering. (that is 5 times your weight). Thats why you laydown in the car for the heavy braking and getting you butt as low as possible the perfect weight balance and center of gravity. if they change the seat position more straight you ll change the position of the mass and therefor you lose corneringspeed.
The riders changes every lap 6 tot 10 times the settings on the steeringwheel of brakebalance, enginebraking and differential settings to brake or cornerexit as fast as possible. it s really incredible what these cars and riders can do.
This is so rad to see on this channel.
Imagine if somebody bought an F1 car, striped the insides, and built a racing sim setup inside it, complete with curved display and RTX 4090.
