Top Comments of this video!! :3
DRS was never a feature only used by one team which then spread to others. From the start (2011) it was mandated by the FIA in order to counter the negative effects of dirty air (when following another car) and as such promote more overtaking and therefore more exciting races. It could never have been developed by an individual team anyway because it would've represented a movable part which affected aerodynamics - something that has been banned in F1 since the 1960s.

As someone who works for an F1 team, This video is only the tip of the iceberg! The science, Technology R&D behind the scenes is none stop. Our build seasons are insanely busy and people spend most of their time at work for months, we do this because of our love and passion for the sports and our team!

Fantastic treat! My only add is while technically KERS is correct
Because you can still harness kinetic waste energy, KERS nomenclature as many refer from the 09 era was done away with. instead we opt for the MGU-K/H system to account for the additional waste energy now available to be harnessed and deployed. Deployment of said âKERSâ might instead in 2024 really be deployment of energy recovery or the ERS. Energy recovery systems are both the MGU systems: H is for âheatâ and K is for âKineticâ. It uses waste energy to top up energy recovery systems through different methods so a driver can boost performance. KERS and MGUK have in common that itâs mainly fed under brake load. But now you also have the heat recovery to add on top for a total boost of ERS. So not even a correction just layering potentially useful info on top.
While the nuance added may sound at first pedantic, itâs actually a testament to the habitual advancement of the sport. No sport can innovate quite as quickly as F1 youâd be right at home falling deeper down the rabbit hole and I hope the bug bites you after seeing it first hand!

I love seeing you get excited about something new that is tangentially related to your love of tech! It's one thing to watch you get excited about a computer, tablet, phone, camera, etc - but it's something totally different to see someone whose opinion you respect open up the door to something new for themselves, and ultimately get me excited about it too. Thanks for opening me up to something new!

4:07. Also a quick note to new F1 fans: The halo was designed by Mercedes for the FIA and was built using titanium encased within carbon fibre, not iron.
It can withstand the weight of a double-decker bus (or the equivalent of around 12000kg).

A few notes: 1. The âplank of woodâ under the car isnât actually wood, itâs a plank of resin with titanium blocks (skid blocks) in certain parts of the plank. This is where the sparks come from when they skid across the ground. 2. âKERSâ is a bit dated â itâs just ERS now lol, thatâs because while there is kinetic energy recovery from braking; MGU-K (motor generator unit - kinetic), there is also energy recovery from the exhaust gasses; MGU-H (motor generator unit - heat). 3. DRS was brought in for 2011 because with the newer cars in 2010 it was basically too difficult to overtake so this was an aid. When the driver behind is within 1 second, they gain access to DRS to try and make the pass, the regulations state that the current DRS gap can be maximum of 85mm, so any larger than this = disqualification. Awesome video Marques! Thanks for bringing our awesome sport to so many more people đ
