The 2026 F1 cars have 30% less downforce. But they're the fastest ever in a straight line. George Russell watched from trackside at Barcelona. He said the main straight speeds were faster than anything he's ever seen. How? The new power units produce 350kW (470hp) from the electric motor alone. And without the MGU-H, all that energy goes straight to the rear wheels. Less downforce. More speed. That's 2026. #F1 #Formula1 #2026 #Engineering | Driver 61

What If Formula 1 Had No Rules? How fast could the cars go? What would the engineers change? And could the drivers actually survive? F1 or motorsport with no rules, is something that engineers dream about, and the questions have been asked before. But there must be SOME rules… there must be somewhere for the driver to sit, there must be four wheels, the laws of physics must be followed, and the car must be optimised for lap time around a Formula One circuit - like Silverstone or Spa. #Formula1 #

F1 has a new loophole. And it's more complex than you think. Mercedes and Red Bull found a way to run higher compression ratios than the regulations allow - by designing pistons that expand in exactly the right way when the engine heats up. The FIA checks at 20°C. But at 12,000 RPM? The metal grows. The other teams aren't angry because it's cheating. They're angry because they didn't think of it first. #F1 #Formula1 #Engineering #Motorsport | Driver 61

Someone Designed The Perfect F1 Car (No Rules) This car could lap 15 seconds faster than a modern F1 car. The numbers behind it are wild: 4.5 tonnes of downforce, 1,600 horsepower, and 7G in lateral forces. More remarkable still - it can be built today, using existing technology. Meet Sébastien Lamour, a former F1 conceptual design engineer who spent 15 years on this design, and asked one question: What if we built an F1 car with no rules? #Formula1 #LePinacle #Aerodynamics | Driver 61

How fast would an F1 car need to go before it's simply too fast for a human to drive? It's a fascinating question, and one that keeps coming up in the comments of our videos about cars that are quicker than F1. So, I decided to find out. I've spoken with a G-force specialist to understand the absolute limits of what the human body can handle in a corner, whether our reaction times would still work at insane speeds, and if our brains could even process what's happening at 400 mph through Eau Roug

I drove the world's fastest electric race car I’ve been lucky enough to drive both Formula 1 and Formula E cars. I’ve driven F1 cars all the way from the early 80s, all the way up to the mid-2010s. And a few weeks ago, I drove a Formula E car for the first time. But, how are they different? And which one would be the most challenging to race? Well, my answer might surprise you. #Ad #FormulaE #ABBFormulaE | Driver 61

The evolution of F1 pit stops is engineering brilliance at its finest. In the 1930s, mechanics poured fuel from open containers while cars raced past just meters away! Gordon Murray's Brabham team changed everything in 1982 with pressurized refueling, leading to Jos Verstappen's spectacular fire in 1994 after Benetton illegally modified their fuel rig. Now, 20 team members change four wheels in perfect synchronization. #F1Technology #RacingEvolution #PitStopMagic Want to break into motorsport? T

A new race car got launched today, and it’s quicker than F1. It can accelerate from 0 to 60 in 1.79 seconds - that’s almost a second quicker than F1. And it’s got a top speed of over 200 mph. It’s the new Formula E Gen3 EVO car - and I just got back from its launch. It also has four-wheel drive, which is very cool and obviously helps that 0 to 60 time. And look, the Formula E Gen3 EVO is still not going to beat an F1 lap time at Spa - it doesn’t have the aerodynamics and grip for that - but it s

Why F1 Drivers Steer the Wrong Way If you watch an F1 driver's steering into a fast corner, you'll notice something strange. Just before they turn into the corner, they actually turn away from it. Take a look at somewhere like Copse at Silverstone - a really fast right-hander. The driver will make a tiny steering input to the left, then immediately turn right into the corner. And it's not just one corner, or one driver. You'll see this in fast corners all over the calendar. It's a technique that

The F1 Car That Shouldn’t Have Existed This is a jet-powered Formula 1 car. It’s one of the most outrageous race cars ever built—it didn’t have a normal engine; it used a jet. So when I heard it was at the Silverstone Museum, I had to go and see it. The Lotus 56 wasn’t just an experiment; it challenged the limits of what race cars could be, powered by a jet engine that nearly won the Indy 500, and shook up Formula 1. But how did they end up using a jet engine, how did it all work, and why was th
