Cleo actually put out another Formula 1 video about a month ago, it mainly focuses on the cars and it also includes the two Red Bull drivers, Max Verstappen and Sergio Pérez. Highly recommend watching it!
I read somewhere that Ferrari doesn't have a marketing budget. No commercials, no adverts. Nothing. Just the Formula One racing team. That is their marketing. But that is maybe because of where they come from. The founder, Enzo Ferrari, was a race driver, and then a race team owner, and a race car builder. And he needed money to be able to keep racing. So he started selling road cars, fast road cars, to people who could afford them. But he wasn't really interested in that part of the business, the road cars. That was just to bring money in for the racing. And rich people wanted to buy his road cars because of how successful his race cars were on the track.
For many years, Ferrari reported $10M profit back to Fiat each year, then spent on their racing programs the rest of whatever they had earned from sales of road cars.
The cars used to cost 400 to 500 million before, but FIA put a limit on spending to help lower placed teams to compete with the big dogs. Another astonishing fact for Americans, the pit stop is about 2 seconds when they change all 4 wheels.
Hey guys. The Miami race is on the 3rd may. I doubt you'll (ya'll) get tickets now but you can watch it on TV. I've been watching F1 since the 60s and will never stop. Big hugs from sunny England. ✌❤🇬🇧
No thanks. I'm only here because I like dirt bikes and youtube thinks I want to see rich people play. Nope sportscar racing was taken away from us average Americans a long time ago. So I'll pass. No I don't watch NASCAR either. D thing ain't even real cars anymore.

Cleo's channel in general is a breath of fresh air. She's so good at explaining complex things in a simple way. I used to be very into F1, but it just got too boring somewhere in the early 2000s, I started dozing off mid-race on Sunday, even worse when timezones made it so that some races were on at 5am or something in Europe.

Formula 1 is really amazing, and it's a lot of engineering works that goes on behind the scenes. F1 companies like Mercedes,Red Bull and Mclaren helped developed quickly a lot of the machines in the fight against Covid. The wind screen in Indi racing cars were developed by Red Bull racing. These engineers can solve any problem very easily.
As a real F1-Fan i still love to watch the vids from Cleo. And if you want to dive in deeper you should take a look at her vid as she was invited to the Red Bull factory where all that magic is created. For her it was an absolut privileg to get there. Even the best and veteran reporters have not been there now. And in this video i love at most as she talks to one of the engineers and in the background you can hear a F1 engine screeming in the test stand. Because this was the first time the new self engineered Red Bull engine could be heared in a video outside Red Bull videos.
I never thought I'd see ya'll checking this out! F1 is such a great sport, I became an addict about 5 years ago and now I look forward to every race weekend. Also Cleo Abram that does these has a ton of interesting videos in all kinds of avenues. Perfectly dumbing it down without making you feel dumb about it!
I have to admit I haven't been to an F1 race for ages, but when we lived near Brans' here in the UK, I never missed a race from the late 1970's until they stopped F1 races there. They were great
Cleo’s latest video with red bull is an awesome deep dive into more of F1. It offers a lot of insight into the human collaboration behind an F1 team. Its a must-see for anyone who are into the sport.
I’ve been into F1 since 2015 and got F1 tv when it came out in America so I could actually watch every race. Def worth the purchase. Love this sport so much fun other than the Verstappen Domination that’s going on currently lol. Gotta get into it.
The "nerd" explanation is funny and spot on. It basically started with some enthusiastic carmechanics trying to out-mechanic each other. And now it is incredibly high tech and all of these teams have some super smart people working for them. Also they don't just need the smart people to make the car, but also to make the machines they need to make the car. Since they make almost everything themselves and it has to be cutting edge they can't just buy parts from a parts dealer. So in fact this really is like NASA trying to build a spaceship.
I am a Sports Car Club of America member. Used to be one of those folks (yes, we had women too) waving flags on the turns. Before and even *after* the half a minute I actually got to drive in the 1990s. I'm an older guy..if I had a dollar for every time I've said, "..no not like NASCAR..", I could buy a new BMW. F1 is 'the point of the spear' for my sport, but IMO, it's the greatest sport on the face of the Earth. Competition is a human desire, even though we're a social species. Making better tools when you can is *also* a human desire. Like the old TV ads for the candy said, "Two great tastes that taste great together." I love Cleo's video. My first F1 race (not as a driver, I was *never* that good! 🤣) was in Dallas, TX, 1984. I was just as stoked as Cleo in Miami. Made me smile the first time a friend sent me the link to it. I'm a Hamilton fan, too. His first Championship (he's won 7!) was for McLaren. As a perk, they let him drive an antique that was driven by one of our legends. For more info about the legend, search "Ayrton Senna". th-cam.com/video/Zc2fs1LJLDg/w-d-xo.html
What she didn't say in the video is that one F1 team has actually more doctors than in an average hospital. F1 is the test ground for new technologies. How many people? This can vary a bit but in general there can be 400 engineers per driver at the track and a supporting team of 400 people per driver at the factory, for real time monitoring where information flow between a car and supporting team is as fast as 3 milliseconds. What was left unsaid was that the cars are built not for the next season, but for the season after that.
when i finished school i was lost. then a revival from a old team brought me back to F1. I loved it so much i chose to do a Mechanical Engineering Degree...and spend on average 1 hour a day, everyday for the last 30 years...studying the sport, following the news, latest tech, new updates, changes in designs...etc I also race in karting and simulators ...F1 is not just a sport, its a mindset! to be the most creative and innovative, as far as the human mind can go, to harness the laws of the universe...to make a car go the fastest! to be methodical, calculated, precise, focused... its a quest for the extreme, the ultimate, the absolute edge, the quest for perfection...the pushing of my limits to become a better version of me!
Hi friends, in Hamburg´s Warehouse District (Speicherstadt) is the Miniatur Wunderland. They just opened their version of Monaco and the F1 race there. Also looking forward, there is already a Formula E. As with combustions engines this will be a giant experiment for security and efficience. Keep your family safe. Your Elmar from Germany
F1 was the F1 till the era of the v8 NA now the experience is not wild. The sound wave was so loud and intense to make vibrates the bones from kilometers.
I went to the phx Grand Prix in 1990. 1 day tickets were $200 a day. No idea what they are now BUT if you volunteer they give you a race day ticket free. It was lots of fun to volunteer
Just to let you know, the Red Bull team has the record for changing all four tiers on the car. 2 SECONDS. That's from when the car stops in the pit lane, to when it starts leaving. A quick time in the pit lane can be the difference between winning the race or coming in lower down the field. Peter B from the UK 🇬🇧
As another thing, the logos on the livery of F1 cars is painted on, they are not stickers. It was found that the tiny edge of the sticker was a drag! F1 cars are at the enth degree of engineering. Despite what you may think when watching them crash. The bits that fly off are the springs, shocks, front wing and wheels and tyres etc, all designed to be part of the slowing down process to help keep the driver safe. Safety nowadays is paramount in F1 cars. They are built with a shell around the driver made from carbon fibre and kevlar to protect in a crash or roll over. Years back when there was hardly any safety, cars were a petrol bomb on wheels. Jackie Stewart (a famed F1 driver of Scottish descent) became the leader of the drivers when they refused to drive any of the cars! Safety was slowly instated and now is very strict. Drivers have to wear fireproof suits (watch Romain Grosjeans fire ball accident) to see why. There is a lot more in F1 than just driving around an oval track. Every track, in every country around the world that F1 races is different, so testing both the car and driver. The numbers watching F1 is equivalent to the super bowl every day!
What I like about F1 is the sheer speed! A F1 car acceleration from 0 to 186 mph is 8 seconds only - top speed is 235 mph! And they are flying around corners ... epic! The pit stops for changing 4 tires takes 2 seconds only! And: Formula 1 is extremly safe! Watch / React to "Grosjean's Insane Fireball Crash" by "Drive To Survive".
Cleo is absolutely right! It's one huge science project with engineers working against other engineers to create the fastest, best handling, most efficient cars in the world. I don't follow F1 too much anymore since they got rid of the hallowed V10's. They just don't sound as good, even though they're quite a bit faster these days. Glad you guys got to see this. Like others have mentioned, her later video at Red Bull Racing should not be missed!!!😍👍👍👍
So… F1 is an intercontinental automotive arms race that benefits *all* vehicles in the end? Got it👍 I saw an electric Grand Prix recently. It was riveting! The heads-up list not only had the place-positions and “seconds behind” but also included the charge left on each car’s battery pack. The drivers had to carefully plan passes and their push to the finish. The winner had 0.1% battery left😳
You should look up John Surtees, the only man to win world championships on two and four wheels. F1 champion in 1964, 7x m/c world champion, and 5x Isle of Man TT winner.
Hi guys. There are three F1 races in the US - Miami, next weekend, COTA in Austin (Oct)and a night race in Las Vegas (Nov) and 24 in a whole year. Chloe has followed up this video with another, much more detailed one where she visits the Red Bull factory in England and sees behind the scenes what goes on. Red Bull is currently the leading team and its drivers Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez are 1 and 2 in the drivers' championship. Thoroughly recommend it.
You need to watch a pit stop during a formula 1 race , the fastest pit stop I've seen is four wheels changed in 1.9 seconds. 3 seconds is classed as a slow pit stop.
The aspect of f1 that blew my mind is how every year the FIA gives the teams regulations on how big something can be, how much the car must weight, and a 📖 stack of other things the teams have to design within. BUT, some of these regulations are to screw with the teams and the car’s speed. Like the tyres. There is one supplier for everyone. And every driver must pit a minimum of once a race to change tyres. To make life even more difficult for the drivers, the tyres are manufactured purposefully to degrade within 10-30 laps. They could make the tyres last longer, but what fun would that be? 🤣 you will never max out on speed because regulations will change in order for teams to be forced to remake their cars every year.
If you havent already watched it, I'd highly recommend you watch the coverage of Romain Grosjean's accident at the Bahrain Grand Prix in 2020. (You saw a quick snippet of it during this coverage).
Huge F1 fan here , family friend works at the Mercedes AMG F1 factory in Brackley and the levels are just ridiculous they even X-ray the parts to checks it’s construction , it’s just levels above any other motorsport the closest is probably moto gp rather than Indy car either though moto gp is bikes it’s also levels above anything else
An engineer and huge F1 fan for years. One thing to know and accept is that the on-track racing isn’t always the greatest because of the disparity between the relative performance of the cars. Often one team is noticeably better than the others and they’ll dominate the drivers and constructors championship for a year or two; or more. We’re on the third year of a Red Bull dominance - only now are the other teams finally getting to the point of challenging Red Bull. You have to understand this ebbs and flows among the 3 or 4 bigger teams. Mercedes dominated for about 6-7 years before that; Red Bull for 4 year; Ferrari dominated in the early 2000’s; Williams dominated in the early 1990’s; McLaren dominated before that. The years of 2 or 3 teams and drivers truly battling for tie championships are limited - making them incredibly rare and exciting when they happen.
I don't recall channel names but a while back I watched a couple of good ones just focusing on the transportation logistics of moving these teams all over the world... worth searching for a good one to react to.✌🏼🇨🇦
There's a Netflix show called F1 that is amazing. It's a documentary following the teams and the drivers and you get to know everything about it. It draws you in almost instantly.
The Netflix show is an annual documentary called Drive to Survive. While it emphasizes the drama and sometimes bends the facts for a more satisfying story, it's still a great way to become familiar with the sport and everyone involved. One of the great things about F1 is that, compared to other sports, there aren't that many key people (drivers & managers) at a time to keep track of. Watching the show will introduce you to all of them, their stories and personalities. (If you want the full back story, watch the episodes in order starting with season 1.) It's very entertaining too.
If you enjoyed this i'd recommend Wendover's video on the logistics of F1. Its amazing to see how these teams and cars transport themselves all over the planet during race season.
In Hamburg, Germany in the Miniatur Wunder Land (Miniature Wonder Land) they have recreated the Monaco F1 Grand Prix race track in the scale of 1:87 where 14 race cars compeat in races which are computer controlled... they needed 14 years to build it with costs of more than 4 million euros. It was officialy opened in April 2024.
The aero is so weird, because you might think it's all about slick airflows i.e. laminar flows without those drag-inducing turbulences and pushing the air upwards with wings and then you hear they're putting air under the car for Venturi effect i.e. ground effect and intentionally creating vortices at many places in order to separate airflows and use those to guide air where it's needed and block it from flowing in undesirable ways.
On costs, unlike other races, F1 travels the world. That means, the whole teams, workshops, offices and hundreds of people working for one team ALL have to be moved to the next race 1/2 way across the world.The logistics are almost insuperable. Everything has to arrive 3 days before the race, has to be erected, wired up connected electronically etc and get the cars ready. All this costs a fortune, thats where the costs come in..
Take a look at " This is Bathurst " by Mark Larkham. It's Australia' s and arguably the world's greatest motor race . The way the vid is produced is next level adrenaline rush.
If you seen an F1 movie but don't know which one I would like to offer the following suggestions as possible candidates: Rush (2013) With Chris Hemsworth and Daniel Bruhl as James Hunt and Niki Lauda. Grand Prix (1966) with James Garner and Yves Montand There are a few other "movies" but those are mainly documentaries and biopics. The above two are the only ones considered as "real movie" even though Rush depicts real life events. If these are not the one you saw, I highly recommend both. 1:43 I didn't know we even had Formula tracks here. - This year, three US based races are being held (well, two left) We just had the Miami GP, the US GP (Oct 20th) on COTA (Circuit of the Americas) in Austin and Las Vegas (Nov 24th). In the past races have been held in Indianapolis, a Las Vegas parking lot, Detroit, Long Beach, Phoenix, Riverside (Moreno Valley), Sebring and Watkins Glen. Speajing of the miami GP is was the one everybody got superhappy about because Max Verstappen only came second instead of the traditional first and it was Lando Norris his first win. As a Max Verstappen fan (Dutchman here) I was not even mad about it, I was so happy for Lando, one of the nicest kids on the grid. A tip, find him on twitch (landonorris) or youtube (Lando Norris and Quadrant) for some fun content. He and his team (online that would be Quadrant) do a lot of sim racing. Same goes for Max and his "Team Redline". tbh, despite Miami being a banger this year, most European based fans do not like Miami or Las Vegas as far as it comes to F1 (no shade on the actual cities intended) as they are way to "American" with the WWE Announcements and the whole circus around it. On a positive note though, Las Vegas first race last year after the parking lot debacle in the 80's was not as "bad" as we feared. It is funny she uses the Mercedes as example which has been horrible the past 3 years since the cost cap was introduced. Don't get me wrong, they are still one of the biggest teams and their drivers are big names. Especially Lewis, a 7 times World Drivers Champion, absolute icon and legend of the sports. If you want to know who to keep an eye on when watching it would be Lewis Hamilton (currently fairly easy to keep an eye on in his soapbox Merc), Fernando Alonsothe eternal rookie and gigachad. Two times world champion and on the grid for over 20 years. And of course Max Verstappen, current raigning 3 times WDC who has been smashing 20, 40 and 50 year old standing records the past three years. Fun to watch is also Ferrari with it's drivers Sainz and Leclerc. Ferrari has been a bit of a meme the past few years. Horrible strategies, horrible pitcrew and to the point the drivers themselves actually started making their own strategies that proved to be better than those from the pitwll. You see a Ferrari fan/driver and they ask you something just tell them "we are checking". They either will be actually lauging out loud (fun fact, lol is the actual Dutch word for fun) or they will be traumatised for at least a week. I should stop writing, I have all this and we are only 7 minutes in..... IF I see anything I will make a reply comment to this one.
Love the video, and welcome to the world of Formula 1. It's the greatest sport in the world. 140 million is a lot, but back in the mid 00s, some teams were spending upwards of 600 million pounds per year. If you really get the F1 bug, it's worth looking at the history of the sport. It's fascinating, sometimes shocking, and extremely interesting. Enjoy ❤
I love formula 1. Besides Ferrari being a founding titan of motor sport and making cool(est?) cars, legendary driver Lewis Hamilton is said to be leaving Mercedes Benz for Ferrari partly because the new management at Mercedes severely cut Hamilton's interface and input to design tweaks and improvements from one car to the next. When he left for Ferrari, he took his engineer with him.
my first video of yours - but you seem to be very open minded, i subbed :) please more F1, MotoGp, rally, european soccer - I would love to see your reactions to that :)
F1 budgets in the early 2000s were getting so out of control, that to this day the fastest car ever produced in F1, is the Ferrari F2004 from... 2004. When put on the same tires as the modern cars, it laps between 1.0 to 2.5 seconds a lap FASTER than the modern cars, depending on the track. In that year alone Ferrari (who never denied nor confirmed the rumor) allegedly spent over $1.1 BILLION (*$1 100 000 000*) developing this absolute masterpiece of a machine over the entire season.
140m is a cost cap per team per year not one car cost 140m. This means one team can’t spend more than 140m in one season (of course there’re some exceptions but that’s the main idea)
I have been watching since about 1980 but in recent years I have watched less races (first is that I only got Sky Sports about 3 years ago, secondly in the last 10-12 seasons only 2 have been competitive). Much more entertaining back in the 80s & probably even more so before I was watching.
Excellent video from Cleo, but sadly she didn't mention that it is also research for tyre manufacturers to "test" new varieties of tyres for ordinary use.
After this video she actually got invited to visit the Red Bull F1 factory. I highly recommend to what that video as well... She will REALLY freak out there. (and it's more indepth)

Also looking forward, there is already a Formula E. As with combustions engines this will be a giant experiment for security and efficience.
Keep your family safe.

Cleo is just absolutely gorgeous, a natural beauty. Im just here to see her... 🙄
F1 was the F1 till the era of the v8 NA now the experience is not wild. The sound wave was so loud and intense to make vibrates the bones from kilometers.
I went to the phx Grand Prix in 1990. 1 day tickets were $200 a day. No idea what they are now BUT if you volunteer they give you a race day ticket free. It was lots of fun to volunteer

To someone who's been following F1 closely for a quarter-century, these reactions are so adorable. Bless ignorant Americans 🙏

So aerodynamic that JUST LIFTING OFF THE ACCELERATOR will slam you into the seatbelts with 2 g's of force.
Just to let you know, the Red Bull team has the record for changing all four tiers on the car. 2 SECONDS. That's from when the car stops in the pit lane, to when it starts leaving. A quick time in the pit lane can be the difference between winning the race or coming in lower down the field. Peter B from the UK 🇬🇧
McLaren beat that at Qatar 2023. Lando's pitstop was 1.80 seconds,
As another thing, the logos on the livery of F1 cars is painted on, they are not stickers. It was found that the tiny edge of the sticker was a drag! F1 cars are at the enth degree of engineering.
Despite what you may think when watching them crash. The bits that fly off are the springs, shocks, front wing and wheels and tyres etc, all designed to be part of the slowing down process to help keep the driver safe. Safety nowadays is paramount in F1 cars. They are built with a shell around the driver made from carbon fibre and kevlar to protect in a crash or roll over. Years back when there was hardly any safety, cars were a petrol bomb on wheels. Jackie Stewart (a famed F1 driver of Scottish descent) became the leader of the drivers when they refused to drive any of the cars! Safety was slowly instated and now is very strict. Drivers have to wear fireproof suits (watch Romain Grosjeans fire ball accident) to see why. There is a lot more in F1 than just driving around an oval track. Every track, in every country around the world that F1 races is different, so testing both the car and driver. The numbers watching F1 is equivalent to the super bowl every day!
What I like about F1 is the sheer speed! A F1 car acceleration from 0 to 186 mph is 8 seconds only - top speed is 235 mph! And they are flying around corners ... epic!
The pit stops for changing 4 tires takes 2 seconds only!
And: Formula 1 is extremly safe! Watch / React to "Grosjean's Insane Fireball Crash" by "Drive To Survive".
...and to think the acceleration is a distant second to the deceleration and the G forces they're pulling there.
Fun Fact , Ferrari was a racing team FIRST and THEN a car company.
Cleo is absolutely right! It's one huge science project with engineers working against other engineers to create the fastest, best handling, most efficient cars in the world. I don't follow F1 too much anymore since they got rid of the hallowed V10's. They just don't sound as good, even though they're quite a bit faster these days. Glad you guys got to see this. Like others have mentioned, her later video at Red Bull Racing should not be missed!!!😍👍👍👍
What a great presenter Abram is.
true fan, right?💞
So… F1 is an intercontinental automotive arms race that benefits *all* vehicles in the end?
Got it👍
I saw an electric Grand Prix recently. It was riveting! The heads-up list not only had the place-positions and “seconds behind” but also included the charge left on each car’s battery pack.
The drivers had to carefully plan passes and their push to the finish. The winner had 0.1% battery left😳
Williamsracing invented the flywheel which is used in almost all busses today
Funny how she explained the scientific growth as flywheel
You should look up John Surtees, the only man to win world championships on two and four wheels. F1 champion in 1964, 7x m/c world champion, and 5x Isle of Man TT winner.
Hi guys. There are three F1 races in the US - Miami, next weekend, COTA in Austin (Oct)and a night race in Las Vegas (Nov) and 24 in a whole year. Chloe has followed up this video with another, much more detailed one where she visits the Red Bull factory in England and sees behind the scenes what goes on. Red Bull is currently the leading team and its drivers Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez are 1 and 2 in the drivers' championship. Thoroughly recommend it.
Try Bathurst 1000. Annual race on Mnt Panarama, Australia
You need to watch a pit stop during a formula 1 race , the fastest pit stop I've seen is four wheels changed in 1.9 seconds. 3 seconds is classed as a slow pit stop.
McLaren hold the record, 1.80 seconds, Qatar 2023
Fun fact. Many safety solutions what F1 had discovered is in our civilian cars today to make our driving mor safe.
Formula 1 cars, explained for rookies (with Max Verstappen).... even more behind the scenes detail, a must see
Things that are exclusively found in F1 cars today, will be fitted as standard in family cars in 10 years time.
Its an actual professional car race
Watch a race.i love f1 and watched over 40 years
she released also a video with her visiting red bull racings factory in UK.
The aspect of f1 that blew my mind is how every year the FIA gives the teams regulations on how big something can be, how much the car must weight, and a 📖 stack of other things the teams have to design within. BUT, some of these regulations are to screw with the teams and the car’s speed. Like the tyres. There is one supplier for everyone. And every driver must pit a minimum of once a race to change tyres. To make life even more difficult for the drivers, the tyres are manufactured purposefully to degrade within 10-30 laps. They could make the tyres last longer, but what fun would that be? 🤣 you will never max out on speed because regulations will change in order for teams to be forced to remake their cars every year.
Highly recommend watching Drive to survive Netflix series on f1 . Really is some good stuff
If you havent already watched it, I'd highly recommend you watch the coverage of Romain Grosjean's accident at the Bahrain Grand Prix in 2020. (You saw a quick snippet of it during this coverage).
Huge F1 fan here , family friend works at the Mercedes AMG F1 factory in Brackley and the levels are just ridiculous they even X-ray the parts to checks it’s construction , it’s just levels above any other motorsport the closest is probably moto gp rather than Indy car either though moto gp is bikes it’s also levels above anything else
Years ago the US grand prix was run at Watkins Glen. If you drive a modern car you have F1 to thank for some of the technology you have onboard.
An engineer and huge F1 fan for years. One thing to know and accept is that the on-track racing isn’t always the greatest because of the disparity between the relative performance of the cars. Often one team is noticeably better than the others and they’ll dominate the drivers and constructors championship for a year or two; or more. We’re on the third year of a Red Bull dominance - only now are the other teams finally getting to the point of challenging Red Bull. You have to understand this ebbs and flows among the 3 or 4 bigger teams. Mercedes dominated for about 6-7 years before that; Red Bull for 4 year; Ferrari dominated in the early 2000’s; Williams dominated in the early 1990’s; McLaren dominated before that. The years of 2 or 3 teams and drivers truly battling for tie championships are limited - making them incredibly rare and exciting when they happen.
I don't recall channel names but a while back I watched a couple of good ones just focusing on the transportation logistics of moving these teams all over the world... worth searching for a good one to react to.✌🏼🇨🇦
She is something like me😅😅😅😅😅,i watching formula 1 since 2000
Look at grosjean fireball crash an actual miracle recorded on camera I watched it live
There's a Netflix show called F1 that is amazing. It's a documentary following the teams and the drivers and you get to know everything about it. It draws you in almost instantly.
The Netflix show is an annual documentary called Drive to Survive. While it emphasizes the drama and sometimes bends the facts for a more satisfying story, it's still a great way to become familiar with the sport and everyone involved. One of the great things about F1 is that, compared to other sports, there aren't that many key people (drivers & managers) at a time to keep track of. Watching the show will introduce you to all of them, their stories and personalities. (If you want the full back story, watch the episodes in order starting with season 1.) It's very entertaining too.
If you enjoyed this i'd recommend Wendover's video on the logistics of F1. Its amazing to see how these teams and cars transport themselves all over the planet during race season.
you should react to the formula E video she also made. kind of the followup video to this
Michael Jordan also is a part owner of a Nascar raceing team
In Hamburg, Germany in the Miniatur Wunder Land (Miniature Wonder Land) they have recreated the Monaco F1 Grand Prix race track in the scale of 1:87 where 14 race cars compeat in races which are computer controlled... they needed 14 years to build it with costs of more than 4 million euros. It was officialy opened in April 2024.
As for the cost, there are at least three individual sportsmen who make more annually than the $140,000,000.00 that a complete F1 team gets to spend.
F1 is awsome
I live in Cannes France and frome pass 5 years . except covvid period I am in Monaco for F1 race
bloody awsome
I'm an F1 fan and a fan of your channel.
to summit up every race weekend every body try’s the best and at the end we here the dutch national anthem
The aero is so weird, because you might think it's all about slick airflows i.e. laminar flows without those drag-inducing turbulences and pushing the air upwards with wings and then you hear they're putting air under the car for Venturi effect i.e. ground effect and intentionally creating vortices at many places in order to separate airflows and use those to guide air where it's needed and block it from flowing in undesirable ways.
Thank you for your very entertaining review, very nice
On costs, unlike other races, F1 travels the world. That means, the whole teams, workshops, offices and hundreds of people working for one team ALL have to be moved to the next race 1/2 way across the world.The logistics are almost insuperable. Everything has to arrive 3 days before the race, has to be erected, wired up connected electronically etc and get the cars ready. All this costs a fortune, thats where the costs come in..
I would highly recommend checking the another/latest video Cleo did bout F1 with Max Verstappen
Take a look at " This is Bathurst " by Mark Larkham. It's Australia' s and arguably the world's greatest motor race . The way the vid is produced is next level adrenaline rush.
Mercedes, Ferrari and red bull used to spend about 440-470 million a year before the cost cap 😂 140 is a pretty huge cut back!
I love The Warning and i love F1. So.....well, i am here for this :)
If you seen an F1 movie but don't know which one I would like to offer the following suggestions as possible candidates:
Rush (2013) With Chris Hemsworth and Daniel Bruhl as James Hunt and Niki Lauda.
Grand Prix (1966) with James Garner and Yves Montand
There are a few other "movies" but those are mainly documentaries and biopics. The above two are the only ones considered as "real movie" even though Rush depicts real life events. If these are not the one you saw, I highly recommend both.
1:43 I didn't know we even had Formula tracks here. - This year, three US based races are being held (well, two left) We just had the Miami GP, the US GP (Oct 20th) on COTA (Circuit of the Americas) in Austin and Las Vegas (Nov 24th). In the past races have been held in Indianapolis, a Las Vegas parking lot, Detroit, Long Beach, Phoenix, Riverside (Moreno Valley), Sebring and Watkins Glen.
Speajing of the miami GP is was the one everybody got superhappy about because Max Verstappen only came second instead of the traditional first and it was Lando Norris his first win. As a Max Verstappen fan (Dutchman here) I was not even mad about it, I was so happy for Lando, one of the nicest kids on the grid. A tip, find him on twitch (landonorris) or youtube (Lando Norris and Quadrant) for some fun content. He and his team (online that would be Quadrant) do a lot of sim racing. Same goes for Max and his "Team Redline".
tbh, despite Miami being a banger this year, most European based fans do not like Miami or Las Vegas as far as it comes to F1 (no shade on the actual cities intended) as they are way to "American" with the WWE Announcements and the whole circus around it. On a positive note though, Las Vegas first race last year after the parking lot debacle in the 80's was not as "bad" as we feared.
It is funny she uses the Mercedes as example which has been horrible the past 3 years since the cost cap was introduced. Don't get me wrong, they are still one of the biggest teams and their drivers are big names. Especially Lewis, a 7 times World Drivers Champion, absolute icon and legend of the sports. If you want to know who to keep an eye on when watching it would be Lewis Hamilton (currently fairly easy to keep an eye on in his soapbox Merc), Fernando Alonsothe eternal rookie and gigachad. Two times world champion and on the grid for over 20 years. And of course Max Verstappen, current raigning 3 times WDC who has been smashing 20, 40 and 50 year old standing records the past three years.
Fun to watch is also Ferrari with it's drivers Sainz and Leclerc. Ferrari has been a bit of a meme the past few years. Horrible strategies, horrible pitcrew and to the point the drivers themselves actually started making their own strategies that proved to be better than those from the pitwll. You see a Ferrari fan/driver and they ask you something just tell them "we are checking". They either will be actually lauging out loud (fun fact, lol is the actual Dutch word for fun) or they will be traumatised for at least a week.
I should stop writing, I have all this and we are only 7 minutes in..... IF I see anything I will make a reply comment to this one.
F1 from 2026 will be 100% biofuels
Love the video, and welcome to the world of Formula 1. It's the greatest sport in the world. 140 million is a lot, but back in the mid 00s, some teams were spending upwards of 600 million pounds per year. If you really get the F1 bug, it's worth looking at the history of the sport. It's fascinating, sometimes shocking, and extremely interesting. Enjoy ❤
Monaco grand prix is not on a track it`s round the streets , amazing
I have been watching f1 since 1993
I love formula 1. Besides Ferrari being a founding titan of motor sport and making cool(est?) cars, legendary driver Lewis Hamilton is said to be leaving Mercedes Benz for Ferrari partly because the new management at Mercedes severely cut Hamilton's interface and input to design tweaks and improvements from one car to the next. When he left for Ferrari, he took his engineer with him.
hello família ❤🇧🇷Brasil ❣ ❤ 💕 please react documentário do fenômeno da fórmula 1 Airton sena
my first video of yours - but you seem to be very open minded, i subbed :) please more F1, MotoGp, rally, european soccer - I would love to see your reactions to that :)
The series on Netflix (?) is really great. Thanks for your reaction 👍
F1 budgets in the early 2000s were getting so out of control, that to this day the fastest car ever produced in F1, is the Ferrari F2004 from... 2004. When put on the same tires as the modern cars, it laps between 1.0 to 2.5 seconds a lap FASTER than the modern cars, depending on the track. In that year alone Ferrari (who never denied nor confirmed the rumor) allegedly spent over $1.1 BILLION (*$1 100 000 000*) developing this absolute masterpiece of a machine over the entire season.
140m is a cost cap per team per year not one car cost 140m. This means one team can’t spend more than 140m in one season (of course there’re some exceptions but that’s the main idea)
I have been watching since about 1980 but in recent years I have watched less races (first is that I only got Sky Sports about 3 years ago, secondly in the last 10-12 seasons only 2 have been competitive).
Much more entertaining back in the 80s & probably even more so before I was watching.
Between 5 and 6 g's while turning and under braking.
Excellent video from Cleo, but sadly she didn't mention that it is also research for tyre manufacturers to "test" new varieties of tyres for ordinary use.
Salaries are not included in cost cap
Already got the electric thing going on. Formula-E. Its like a big scalectrix. sounds like it as well.
After this video she actually got invited to visit the Red Bull F1 factory. I highly recommend to what that video as well...
She will REALLY freak out there. (and it's more indepth)
React to "Harry Mack x Beardyman When pigs fly" especially if you havent heard of either Harry Mack or Beardyman yet.
This is nasa on wheels.
Awesome
You guys are great, new sub God bless you :D
Thanks so much! Same to you friend 💚💜
Hi guys! Really love your channel. If you want to dig in more about Formula 1, this has a series in Netflix called "Formula 1: Drive to survive" and it's a documentary. Btw, am your subs from the Philippines ❤
