F1 Pit Stop In 2-Seconds: An In-Depth Analysis

แชร์
ฝัง
  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 31 ต.ค. 2017
  • Formula One pit crews are now completing pit stops in just over 2-seconds with the record being 2.02 seconds in 2017, a little slower than the 2016 record of 1.92 seconds thanks to the larger tyres.
    In this video, I take an in-depth look at how 23 people come together in perfect harmony to complete the perfect F1 pit stop.
    F1 is competitive on all fronts with teams developing strategies and techniques to gain time wherever they can. The F1 pit stop is an area teams focus on training pit crew and developing bespoke tools to optimise their time in the pits.

    @cemb1979 4 ปีที่แล้ว +137

    Nice video! Well done. However, I think you forgot to mention that the wheel guns and the front jack send signals to the light traffic, therefore they have this twisted cables. It is supposed that the wheel gun as soon as it looses contact with the wheel nut it sends a signal of "ready" to the light traffic and the front jack. Also the jackman will see the green light in his jack and he will just press the release button. This button sends the signal as well to the traffic light. So the chief mechanic who supervises the operation won't need to wait until all wheel guns raise their hands. Though, he can override the light if something goes wrong. I saw this in an interview in Sky Sports. This system was an improvement of the Ferrari's who was the first team to introduce the traffic light in pit stops (Remember Singapore 2007 when Massa was leading and the chief mechanic pressed the release button while they were refueling the car and Felipe started and broke the fuel hose).

      Amazing! I'm absolutely fascinated by the person with the crucial job of assessing the green light release and it seems that one man visually checking 4 tire installs just doesn't wash, so that makes more sense to hear your explanation. However it also seems flawed to assume that once the wheel gun is removed the car is good to go-- I'm writing 4 years after your comment having seen the Netflix S01 E01 in 2019 where Haas sends off BOTH cars leaving pit with the front right wheel not tightened properly and poor Haas (having the rare top positions of 5th & 6th in that qualifying) having to quickly forfeit BOTH of their cars because the wheel wasn't on properly. That poor gun man; he likely is still kicking himself although honestly it's far too easy to make a mistake- we're humans not robots. In awe of the whole thing really-- drivers, engineers, data assessment & strategy & crew.

  • @215dagby
    @215dagby 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    These guys are impressive. Pit crews remind me so much of cannon crewmembers. Speed and precision are absolutely paramount and trying to couple both of them requires a lot of training. One without the other is useless. There’s so many things that can go wrong and each of those can create a cumulative effect on the other portions of the process. So far as the guy eyeing the tire as it rolls in, that’s almost like a tunnel vision focus. On an M119 howitzer, if you want to shoot fast, your assistant gunner will be focusing in on the breech handle and when the cannon fires they will immediately hit the breech handle to eject the canister before the cannon has even finished recovering and returning forward from the recoil. It’s a split second but it clears the cannon tube (barrel) so that the cannoneer #1 can begin loading the next round in the gun as quickly as possible. The guys standing around seemingly doing nothing also have their equivalents in artillery. On every cannon there will be one: a section chief. They observe the crew drills for safety, verify that the rounds, shell fuse combinations, powder increments, sight picture, leveling bubbles and firing data are all correct, and they ensure all the crew are safe before firing. Stuff like looking to see if the troops have cleared themselves away from the path of recoil. They give the command to fire once all of their checks have been done. This position is held by a Staff Sergeant.
    I have had insane firing times myself. From radar detecting rocket fire to the time that rounds were impacting on the point of origin was around 45 seconds. All of that includes a massive process beginning with radar establishing the point of origin (POO) ,to verifying no aviation elements are present in the path of flight, to ensuring the rounds will not produce collateral damage, to calculating the firing data with the AFATDS computer, to double checking it with a map and range deflection protractor, to establishing an azimuth of lay and relaying it to the guns to shift to, to the guns receiving the firing data, manually cranking the cannon tube by way of handwheels, loading the gun and shooting. I do love it when speed and precision are pushed to their absolute limits and these pit crews definitely deserve some respect because I know it’s not easy at all. A lot of work goes into it.

      @@JasonSmith-cz8yj yup. Can't confirm the team (I thought it was Williams, but I could be wrong) but I had heard that (whoever it was) helped by reorganizing the orders of kit, making certain things easier to get hold of in a hurry, etc. At least that's my understanding of it.

    Thank You for super detailed 2 sec pit stop -

    The fuel stop I suspect - for safety reasons - probably best not to get involved during tire changes.
    Being there's always raw fuel exposed.
    Has to be the most dangerous mission.

  • @insensibile1145
    @insensibile1145 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    1. There are 25 team members in a crew.
    2. As you approach the pit area you should decelerate or slow down slightly more than 80 kilometers an hour speed limit.
    3. The driver should get the car stopped in exactly the right area so the pit crew had the easiest job to change the tires.
    4. The jacks are now getting more and more simple in order to pick the car up and drop it very quickly.
    5. The machinery and tools that the pit crew actually use are completely different to those that you’d use to change a tire on your road car.
    6. There are 14 pit crew members who are changing four tires on the race car.
    7. A few years ago F1 changed the rules whereby you can’t release your car into the pit lane if there’s another car coming along the pit lane.

    I recently subbed this channel and this came up as a recommended video. In the early 90s when the CART Grand Prix came to town, I was a firefighter and CART put out a call to area fire departments for volunteers to work the practices & races. I was able to work as the firefighter in the pit for Rick Mears three years in a row. I did get to help extinguish a fire but it wasn’t the Mears team affected.

    It's almost like peering into the human body and looking at what happens as nutrition is passed through your veins by your blood as you eat. So many processes work together to move something along... we take so much for granted at so many levels.

    Great job on this, I learned a lot. I’m left with one question though. You explained very well the change in the wheel nut from the old hexagonal design. I assume that the socket on the wheel gun grabs, and holds, the wheel nut so that as the new tire is placed, the wheel gun man just has to drive the captured nut back on the spindle. The question then is, does the socket capture and hold the wheel nut?

    • @Danspy501st
      @Danspy501st 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      From what I know, for each race weekend, the team chooses who of their mechanics that gonna be the pit crew on the race day. As their is normally abit more mechanics to work on both cars. I remember that teams like Haas had talked about choosing some of the mechanics to be the pit crew, meanwhile I think some teams uses the same guys again. Either way, all the mechanics is having the same training and practice, like teams like Williams. I think, depending on where or what you had paid for, you can see the chaotic scrambel of the pit crew in practice runs for the drivers, if the pit crew is doing something else. Like repairing a damaged car of that team, or in a race if the drive comes in too late in the pit lane. Watch the video(s) from Guy Martin where he was invivated to try to be a part of the pit crew for Williams, where we follow him training with the others, and trying each position, and then during a race weekend. It give a really good inside of how it works

IF someone get's something wrong, there'll be headlines and lawsuits and heads rolling.

    • @Sheehanjacobks96
      @Sheehanjacobks96 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Doug Owens Not sure if F1 uses this, but when I was working at a machine shop I learned about multi-start threads. And as the name implies it allows the bolt/nut to start in multiple places. The most “starts” I’ve seen on a nut was a triple start, but the F1 wheel nuts are a lot bigger that what I was working with. So it might be possible that they could add more starts with the bigger surface area. The most common application for multi-start threads is actually on plastic water bottles!
