  1. I realize F1 is probably new to a lot of Americans, but when you talk about the sound and it being loud, I really hope you'll hear a V10, V12 or V8 go around a track (best to worst). The howl of a V10 is a thing to behold (but bring ear protection).

  2. It's nice that Formula 1 is gaining popularity among new people, but at the same time this is quite alarming to the long-standing community. And I am totally not saying this to boast about knowing it before, or being better for that reason, but because Liberty Media, the corporation which owns F1, has been making many changes over the recent years, which are progressively saddening the older, core fanbase. The whole racing weekend is gradually becoming more of a show for the sake of the show, than a motorsport event. A lot of intrusive marketing, commercials, additional side events which are both tiring and distracting or the drivers. The drivers themself have been vocal about (just see what Max Verstappen had to say about all events surrounding Las Vegas GP) as well as some major personalities for the sport.

    If You are a newcomer to the sport that's great, and I hope You will have a lot of fun, but please be wary of older fanbase, that honestly would love to integrate with you, rather than see their favourite sport being transformed from hardcore motor event, to childish, show less oriented on what this sport actually is.
    I really like to share excitement with new people, I am just worried, that showbiz and commercialization are gonna ruin it in the long run.

  3. Genuinely did not know too much about this but now I am going to look for that Netflix Doc, Cause most things I have learnt about this sport is literally from this video.

  4. only issue i have with the video is the colors used for the tire compounds. would have been easier to understand if you just used imaging and colors from the actual "soft – red", medium – yellow", hard – white.

  5. F1 is about to have a crazy jump in viewers! I am have only made it 5 minutes into the video and I have joined the people jumping into F1 ๐Ÿ˜…

  6. This is a joy to see. I've been watching F1 on and off since the Schumacher days. Then the Netflix series brought a ton more attention to it. I thoroughly enjoy the attention it's getting. F1 cars are technological and engineering marvels. I even got into Sim Racing because of F1.

  7. these cars are the fattest and heaviest in F1 ever. These so called ground effect cars are using tech from the 80s. peak innovation was 2020

  8. And its not just the engineering the car faster but as well the strategy. As an example I created an app for a F1 team that connects to their servers, streams all the live radio communications between engineers and drivers and transcribes it using AI. All the messages get categorised based on what they are saying and the keywords they are using. Then the strategy engineers use this information to take live decisions on their strategy. Theres are other nice features like feeding the data to an AI to give you automatic summaries after each session for each driver which works extremely well, dashboards and things like that

    The best thing for is that I can watch now F1 during the weekends and my wife cannot say me anything because I am working ๐Ÿ˜‚
