How a Formula 1 team builds a f1 car around its driver

  • A behind the scenes video shot at McLaren. Design engineer Scott Bain is in charge of everything the driver comes into contact with in the cockpit. Here he shows us the chassis mock up and, as Lewis Hamilton tries it for size, explains how important it is to get the driver comfortable before you build the first chassis for real

    "So how does this process goes?"
    "Well we put the driver on the driving position, then we pour a ton of foam on top of him, let it dry and when it´s hard we sculpt around him, if he survives it means it´s meant to be, if not we get another driver".

  • @edwardharris9810

    It's amazing how meticulous they are, as in the car is literally built around the driver, it's not like "here we've built a car get in and drive it" I always remember David Couthard when he was at McLaren they changed something in the car and it bottomed out and he pulled out the race because the heat from the friction was literally burning his balls, bum and legs!!

    • @The_Curious_Cat
      @The_Curious_Cat 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I remember when Coulthard was at RB and he complained about the mirrors, that they shake so much he couldn´t see anything on them. He asked Newey if they could change them, which Newey replied "it´s easier to replace the driver".

    • @LudeMoovie
      @LudeMoovie 9 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I think first they make a mold of the body of the driver (the seat area), then they build a rough seat out of it. After that comes this part, trimming off parts the driver bumps with his arms or feel uncomfortable. After that they make the final mold and cast the carbon-fiber seat.

So its my dream to get into the formula 1 but. I don't know how to get into it, or where to star and also it requires a lot of money to get into it. And I'm really looking hard for at least one shot for it since summer is coming up I'm gonna start to work so I can see if I can get enough money for it.

The GT series has nothing to do with the ps game)I'm probably going to have to forget my F1 dream. And settle for 24 hr races.. what if I race the nurburgring 24? That's for amateur and experienced drivers. I only have to get my AI licence and go to europe pay 24 euros and hopefully have an FR car.
