Still pisses me off that Ferrari had 2 of the best drivers of the 2000s in 2014 and gave them a car akin to something they'd make in their 90s era but worse
=BC OF FERRARI'S MANAGEMENS DIDNT SUCK ONLY BC OF HELP OF WHAT MSC BROUGHT .......COME *ON* ,NANDO WAS ANY GOOD ONLY WITH CHEATIN BENETTON.....AND KIMI WASNT EVER FAST ENOUGH
Actually, Alonso was driving the F-14T like that on purpose (on the Abu Dhabi clip) he said so to the spanish media -he was having fun since it was his last race with Ferrari, and Practice 1 in Abu Dhabi does not really matter.
@@ciaronsmith4995 Your point being what exactly? Alonso had two podiums in the season. Furthermore, Räikkönen was absolutely destroyed in every metric across the season and was never even close to winning a race. Anyone who dominates a driver of Räikkönen's calibre like that obviously had an absolutely terrific year.
Nonsense. Raikkonen just joined that year and found the car undriveable - the car suited Alonso far more given the mass understeer on corner entry. Further, Kimi had a rookie race engineer who couldn't speak English (and was fired later). Alonso got lucky, plain and simple. Try to get this through your thick skull: In cars that suit both, Kimi is obviously, and utterly faster as his ballistic stint at McLaren and Lotus showed. Watch F1 before you comment lad.@@whatisabercowich
@@ciaronsmith4995 The amount of excuses necessary to explain the difference in performance is insurmountable. Luck could explain one or two races, not the entirety of the season. Ultimately, Räikkönen's stints at McLaren and Lotus show absolutely nothing. His teammate at Lotus was Grosjean, not exactly a top line driver. His teammates at McLaren were Coulthard, who was also not a top line driver, and Montoya, who had been flattered by some very good machinery. I'm sure Alonso would have performed very well in those cars as well. It is also very convenient of you to ignore both of Räikkönen's stints at Ferrari. In the years following 2014, he was comfortably outperformed by Vettel. As a younger driver, he was also very similar in pace to Felipe Massa, who was also decidedly in Alonso's shadow. There is no question that Räikkönen was a terrific GP driver. His peaks were very high, maybe even comparable to Alonso's, but his dips were much, much lower. Adaptability is a vital part of being a succesful GP driver.
It's not an excuse. It's a hard fact. A rudimentary analysis and basic understanding of driving styles would answer this for you, yet here you are flailing like a fish because you don't know anything about racing.When a car is so fundamentally unsuited to a driver's driving style, as was the case with Kimi, there is almost nothing you can do. It's luck of the draw, especially when you have a pullrod front suspension that makes it impossible to adjust the front end. Everyone and their mother knows there isn't a driver who is more dependent on a massively positive front end than Kimi Raikkonen. If you don't know this, shut down your computer and never ever watch Formula 1 again, your knowledge gap and the subsequent information asymmetry on display here is utterly shambolic. Get. Real. Son.@@whatisabercowich
Again, Alonso has been on record saying he prefers a neutral car. He adapts his driving style based on the characteristics of the car to extract the best lap time.
All drivers do, yet all have a prefered style and prefered car set up. Not a single driver in the history performaned 100% in all different car configurations / set ups
Kimi and Ferrari's conversation would've gone something like this: Kimi: It's terrible. Ferrari: You can't say that. It's a Ferrari! Kimi: It's a sh*tbox. All these facilities and you make a piece of crap like this.
Pretty much every car that year had unstable rears on exists and sometimes on entry. The clips from Silverstone Village corners, Abu Dhabi sector 3, etc that showed their instability aren’t entirely exclusive to Ferrari. A couple of people also had the theory that the F14T had very bad balance at low speed due to the placement and the terrible mapping of the PU, but had much better balance and load than majority of the cars at higher speed. However those comments were quickly rampaged by those who believed otherwise. Such as the result of commenting in Alonso clips.
@@Mani6TheMan9 many months ago i was curious and looked up mercedes pole laps that year, and sometimes they were very sketchy, even they had some understeer during the entry and oversteer on the exit. Weird cars for what was a weird era in f1
Hey Scott! One key factor you mentioned is that Ferrari tried to move the engine as forward as possible. A mass very close to the center of the car might be one of the causes for the car behavior due to the changes in the polar moment of inertia. It is widely known that cars which have the bulk of the mass close to the center of the car between the axles handle better, but if you center it way too much, the car becomes critical and it is very very hard to handle because of how sensible it becomes to steering input. One good example of this was the Lancia Stratos, and other less extreme but yet well known is the Toyota MR2. For whatever reason or design choice, this Ferrari had a tendency to understeer like you explained. But then the polar moment of inertia caused by the bulk of the car weight very close to the center could be the reason why it snapped into oversteer when the drivers tried to correct during a turn. This is no explanation since I lack data, just an assumption which might be worth exploring by people with better knowledge than me.
props to kimi and alonso for driving that ferrari and still not crashing several times.Arguably this has to the one of the best season for fernando alonso for the way he drove and got the car in points near vettel( with probably 2nd best car) justbehind by 6 points .Kimi driving style did not matched the car but still he did great not as great as alonso.
As a Ferrari fan this car and the 2012 one simply are the greatest example to demonstrate how Alonso is the best driver of the post-1995 era. Hungary 2014 he managed to get a second place holding the 2 SECONDS per lap faster mercedes behind. Something out of this world.
5:44 Finally someone has said it. Cars cannot physically understeer and oversteer simultaneously but interchangeably. These are two driving characteristics that explain discrete situations in vehicle dynamics. However, just as you do, I understand their point.
Kimi fans will tell you that car was designed to suit Alonso’s driving style and that’s why he battered Kimi so badly in qualifying and the race. They don’t know that but that’s what they tell themselves and like to tell everyone. Arrivebene even said this car didn’t suit Alonso either, pretty much calling that “cope” theory rubbish.
well, let's talk about who's coping the most. first of all, you know who arrivabene is and what did he do before f1? right, second, in this very video you can see that despite the oversteer to power surge at the exit, that isn't actually oversteer, that is total traction loss, that kimi struggling to hit the apex while alonso had no problem because that suited his driving style more. so the car had understeer, while the oversteer wasn't actually recoverable because it was actually power/torque surge (hence which the author himself noted that the car suited alonso more) because kimi's last time in ferrari, he drove the f2008, which is an improved f2007 in which he won the championship with. he was unfamiliar with everything the new ferrari car resembled, including the unsmooth nature of power delivery, meanwhile alonso had previous experience with renault engines and post 2009 ferrari cars. moreover kimi was on a fresh return absent from f1 and busy with rallying while alonsotardies like you were busy sending literal death threats to petrov and kubica as alonso was busy getting battered by redbull. did that help you to cope with 2010? lmao
I think its also worth investigating cars that finished 6th - 11th in the constructors that year and check the characteristics because from what I remember, many cars were hard to drive that year.
The F-14T seems to be like the F1 22 game in a nutshell, where you have the same issue. Another thing I'd like to say is that this Ferrari had one of the better-sounding hybrid V6s I've heard.
you gave the answer at @2:28 they messed up the weight distribution of the car by making it too far forward. this caused the car to be leary and way too loose on corner entry, and it couldn't also put power down as effectively as a car with a more rearward weight bias, and made it oversteer out of corners.
whatever you give to alonso, he will adapt to the fastest way to drive it. Other drivers need the car to behave and be tuned on a specific way, alonso just needs it to be fast, and he will adapt to whatever the car needs.
What you said later on is actually what the Ferrari drivers have said about this year's car (SF-23) - it's unpredictable so they've dialled in a bit more understeer so that it's not undrivable
When your video started I was like "oh dear, hear we go" This is because you made a video a few months ago stating Kimi likes understeer. Now, it seems you have changed your view and suggest Kimi preferred oversteer, which was always evident and known
I like that this is a question when Perry McCarthy's Andrea Moda had the steering rack fall out of his hand at Eau Rouge because the team wanted him to crash and be injured because they were not allowed to replace him 🤣
Mclaren MP4-29 had a massive PU advantage over Renault and Ferrari motorised teams, still finished 5th in the championship, make a video on that shitbox
The car was decent relative to the field. I think a lot of people forget that the cars in 2014 behaved this way in general, with the understeer on entry and oversteer on exit. Only reason the Ferrari gets dissected is because its Ferrari and Kimi couldn't adapt.
@@ferst262 l said mostly. I’m aware Kimi was decent in Monaco ,until that collision with Magnesseun into Mirabeau, and Belgian. And he did outqualify Alonso 3 times that season
I think you are overlooking a serious design flaw. The angle of the front upper and lower control arms (deviating from horizontal) means that every vertical suspension movement also pushes or pulls the tires laterally. Hit a bump or otherwise generate squat or dive, and the front tires are forced to scrub sideways, robbing available grip and sending the car darting one way or another, depending on which tire has the better grip at the moment.
Eh, the Audi Quattro S2 was worse according to Röhrl. It understeered on entry, oversteered through the apex, then understeered on exit because the engine being that far forward made it stubborn to turn, but once it did, inertia kept rotating the car. I wonder how fast michelle mouton would have been in F1.
It is interesting that they got it so wrong. You would think in an era with full-scale wind tunnels, CFD, and bespoke physics simulators far more advanced than any "game", something like this would not be possible.
Not related to the Ferrari, but the reddit comments about alonso's video: Normally understeer and oversteer in entry and exit, you resolve the US first. The entry understeer reduces the speed too much, and when you apply the throttle, the low speed and high power looses the rear.
Remember when they said the higher and narrower rear wing with the wider front would give more overtaking?.. ....now they made the rear wing lower and wider to give more overtaking? You can't overtake if you have a front wing taking up half the track width and a chassis taking up half the front staight.
No. No. No. No! Please don't add clips of people from some TV program or a man saying "nice" into the videos. We're here for information and education, not someone with a tape measure! 🤬
Mercedes didn't work only on a superbe engine but also on tyres with Pirelli with the famous "secret "tests. Ofc they had no reason to overperform on aereodynamic too since they had already a stronger car than the others
“Enter to drive a Formula 1 car *Only if you have master card*” I’m not knocking this fantastic opportunity but to realise I couldn’t even be within a chance to drive one, was gutting.
Pretty bad for a race car, but not quite as bad as the electric car (named Hammerhead Eagle i-Thrust) built by the UK Top Gear guys in 2010. According to the motor magazine Autocar HQ that got to do a "consumer test" of it it had extreme under-steering when entering a corner without touching the brakes. If the driver applied some braking the front wheels would get a grip and the car would instantly go from under-steer to over-steer!
Video request: Please Compare Leclerc vs Sainz and how Sainz is suddenly able to match and pass leclerc. ALonso preferring Understeer and Kimi preferring oversteer made me instantly think of the 2023 Ferrari.
I've watched Fernando drive a shit car to second in Quali in the wet in Montreal in 2022. He drove that Alpine faster than it was possible to drive it. I was by the wall of Champions and watched him repeatedly - and I mean repeatedly - miss it by millimeters as he did those laps. Stunning driver.
Understeered and oversteered at the same time? Sounds like that car I made in automation for beamng. Your car chronically understeers Your car chronically oversteers.
The car was bad for Ferrari standards but still Fernando Alonso, had the two only podium of the season (3e China, 2e Hungary) there were only three retirement's .And five times outside the points all by Kimi Raikkonen ,in the overal season result Ferrari did end as fourth in the constructor's championship with 216 points.
I always thought the 1981 Ferrari was the most undrivable Ferrari ever. That car apparently had a quarter of the downforce that the Williams and Brabham cars had that year. After seeing this, maybe not?
Imagine calling a car that almost won at Hungaroring undrivable. The car was bad, but all the problems came from the underpowered engine, and everything else was a consequence. Ferrari ran with a low drag config for basically an entire season, except the obvious exceptions, like Monaco and...u get it, Hungaroring, showing that the overall concept would have worked with more power and the possibility to run medium to high drag configurations during the season

I think the 94 Williams was also said to be undrivable? Any similarities?
Mercedes didn't work only on a superbe engine but also on tyres with Pirelli with the famous "secret "tests. Ofc they had no reason to overperform on aereodynamic too since they had already a stronger car than the others
“Enter to drive a Formula 1 car *Only if you have master card*” I’m not knocking this fantastic opportunity but to realise I couldn’t even be within a chance to drive one, was gutting.
Idubz reaction clip really caught me off guard 😅
and yet alonso kept up with seb a bit
2:29 What is this??
_An F1 car for_ ANTS?!
Pretty bad for a race car, but not quite as bad as the electric car (named Hammerhead Eagle i-Thrust) built by the UK Top Gear guys in 2010.
According to the motor magazine Autocar HQ that got to do a "consumer test" of it it had extreme under-steering when entering a corner without touching the brakes. If the driver applied some braking the front wheels would get a grip and the car would instantly go from under-steer to over-steer!
RocketPoweredMohawk has an alternative answer to this question.
Alonso 2010 2012 2014 Goat seasons
Video request: Please Compare Leclerc vs Sainz and how Sainz is suddenly able to match and pass leclerc.
ALonso preferring Understeer and Kimi preferring oversteer made me instantly think of the 2023 Ferrari.
Well Sainz is just driving the car on the limits while Charles isn't. And Charles has always been behind on race pace
@@MuhammadNiz007 thanks but you are definitely not right.
I've watched Fernando drive a shit car to second in Quali in the wet in Montreal in 2022. He drove that Alpine faster than it was possible to drive it. I was by the wall of Champions and watched him repeatedly - and I mean repeatedly - miss it by millimeters as he did those laps.
Stunning driver.
We were all expecting a ferrari civil war between alonso and kimi this season instead we got a civil war between the Mercedes drivers
Why isn't the competition open for residents from Belgium? Is there an insurance issue or something else??
stuff about bad guys is that they think they’re actually the good folks out there
Tbh the turbo v6 doesn't sound bad
Understeered and oversteered at the same time? Sounds like that car I made in automation for beamng.
Your car chronically understeers
Your car chronically oversteers.
This is the only car my Tifosi friend couldn't accept that it was a Ferrari-made F1 car 😂
The car was bad for Ferrari standards but still Fernando Alonso, had the two only podium of the season (3e China, 2e Hungary) there were only three retirement's .And five times outside the points all by Kimi Raikkonen ,in the overal season result Ferrari did end as fourth in the constructor's championship with 216 points.
Sorry Scott, I'm too fat to enter your contest 😂😂
And surely, because it was pre-2022, Ferrari probably blamed the drivers instead of their red tractor.
Quite ironic how a majority of the video is showing an undrivable car being driven.
why the thumbnail is Vettel in Fiorano with the F2012?
I always thought the 1981 Ferrari was the most undrivable Ferrari ever. That car apparently had a quarter of the downforce that the Williams and Brabham cars had that year. After seeing this, maybe not?
"Worst car of the turbo hybrid era"
*gets fourth in the championship*
Imagine that thing at a track like Jeddah. It'd be horrible. It'd probably be like ten seconds off pace of the Mercedes!
This is not the most undriveable Ferrari ever. That was the LIFE Ferrari lmao
Sums up F1 22 😂❤
didn't they have to unload the rear because their PU was weak, in an attempt to recover some straight line speed?
Imagine calling a car that almost won at Hungaroring undrivable. The car was bad, but all the problems came from the underpowered engine, and everything else was a consequence. Ferrari ran with a low drag config for basically an entire season, except the obvious exceptions, like Monaco and...u get it, Hungaroring, showing that the overall concept would have worked with more power and the possibility to run medium to high drag configurations during the season
Also the roll centre is to high at the front suspension, Ferrari admitted this at the time
