  • This actually made F1 sound boring....and Engineering....This has ruined my intake into Mechanical/Aerodynamic Engineering.

  • you should do ne for sebastian vettel

  • I luv F1 § 4Ever it will be !§

    Until death do us part ! §

  • The title is misleading. Where exactly did you show how Lewis does it?

  • no its Carbon Fibre. Fiberglass is used as a reinforcing agent not to make race cars

  • @RebelliousLeader1995

    ...And pooey bodykits for cars

  • You say that the cars go to 18,000 revs, maybe a little more. But whats amazing is that at 6,000, all the engine is doing is running

  • the cars are limited to 18,000. they were doing 20,000 in 2005.. without regulation they would this year be doing at least 22,000.. imagine the sound.. FUCKING MAX ! GOOD RIDDANCE!

  • the guy talking sounds like Alan Davies

  • Actually Lewis Hamilton secret is that he can outbrake most people, and also he has the talent of sensing where on the track has the best grip. This comes from his years of karting experience.

    Watch his pass last year in brazil, in the wet, he did a pass that was supposed to be impossible.

  • Every formula 1 driver will know where the best grip is it isnt just lewis

  • well all drivers know where the grip is but it takes some balls and great understanding of the car to attempt these "impossible" overtakes :D . Lewis is one of the best brakers in the grid today :D

  • you ruined his secret! i hope no f1 drivers find this video!!!!

  • hahahaha

  • hamilton does it with Ron Dennis (does the love)

  • science may be fun, but its hard to understand the speed these things go when you refer to that dodgy european KM per Hour thingy

    miles per hour please, thanks very much and forza minardi

  • lol..

  • what is the song at the start

  • Is that f1 challenge 2007??? thanks,you probably don't know it but thanks to you i got an A from physics ( Teacher likes f1)So THANKS!!!!

  • It's rFactor

  • I already knew most of this stuff.

    But what does this have to do with Hamilton in personally?

    You just said some facts and numbers.

    I was expecting some secrets to his drivingstyle.

  • the g-force part is mistaken. the aerodynamic pressure being applied to the pilot is not the same as the on to the car's body, therefore, the real g-force concerns are about acceleration and de-acceleration

  • Actually he's not. He's referring to the forces applied to the driver under breaking and hard cornering, which do regularly reach 5g; he could have clarified that, but he is correct.

  • right, but thats not the incorrect part. Its when he says that it affects the drivers weight that hes mistaken. That would require 5'g through the vertical axis (like jet pilots) whereas cornering forces are through the horizontal axis and thus dont affect his weight.

  • @thelawenforcer001 You're confusing the perception of weight vs. force—get thrown sideways, and you will feel the weight of your body against whatever you're braced on (ie. the shoulder-bolsters in an F1 seat.)

  • Ah - yes, that is true. However, if we are to take that law and apply it to everything, it means 'weight' would only be true in a vertical sense. We know this is not the case, as, if you lay sideways, you weigh just as much as if you stood up and can still feel that weight. Do you see how I've qualified "weight"?

  • Kovelainen is not very good at all, McLaren need to get rid of him and get vettel or kubica...thats the truth.

  • vettel is a future ferrari not Mclaren sorry!

  • Wouldnt be so sure. McLaren has shares owned by MercedesBenz, so Mercedes will be very keen to get a German driver into the McLaren team.

  • I dont see you going out there and beating kovalainen!Kovalainen is a great F1 driver he was just in Hamiltons shadow. And sometimes they do make 1 car better than the other coz it all costs shitloads of money!Hamilton is a great driver tho

  • Who is this idiot and why is he lecturing about F1 basics instead of talking about Lewis Hamilton?

  • Nothing at all to do with Lewis Hamilton, Which is what I hate most about you tube when people wrongly heading their vids to rake in the veiwers, good video none the less but come on man, Title your vids properly in future or I personally will Flg them myself, It drives me crazy cliking on vids im excited to watch to find something totally different.

  • ditto

  • He said " inspired by Lewis Hamilton" because of lewis hamilton this guy decided to look deeper into formula 1 and do a little research and hes showing you what Lewis and the field would experience. Its not a big ddeal.

  • noo

  • dburford9 that is true. kovalainen fucked up this s eason at mclaren. he was like 8th every race. with one lucky victory.I like to believe he is better but I don't see it in him  :\

  • LOL!! Nice!

  • You know I am right douchebag. Suckith upon thy cocketh ;)

  • Agreed. At least Ham has some serious competition. If Massa's engine didn't blow or if his team didn't fail him at let him leave the pits with the hose attached... he would have won the championship my a mile.

  • lol yarful, you suck and you speak nonsense, e.g masa is 27 with a win ratio of 9% hamilton is 23 with a win ratio of 25% speaks for itself really( i mention masa as he is by far the closest to hamilton on the track this season)

  • R U Fucking kidding me? Hello!? Did Massa drive for a good team when he started driving? Um.. no. LH is on the best team

  • HELLO!! Do you think that McLaren would let anyone loose in their car who didn't earn the right drive it, by proving they are good enough?

    As for McLaren having the best car or team, if so, then not by much, and you still have to give some credit to Hamilton for that, both in testing and on race days.

    At the end of the day F1 is a team sport, and without a good team, you win nothing.

  • Come on... you know that most guys have to start at the bottom and work up. Alonso was on the WORST team. Massa and Kimi both on shit team Sauber. They had to EARN it. Hamilton... not so much.

  • how does hamilton do what ?

  • WTF does this video has to do with Hamilton?!

    "How Lewis Hamilton Does It"?? :))

  • What a stupid comment. Hamilton is not cool and calm, thats why he can't conserve tyres. as for him being in a league of his own, put piquet or vettel or rosberg or webber in his car and watch his results seem like they are on par with everyone elses. McLaren have spoilt hamilton with a brilliant car. truth is he should have walked away with the championship by now.

  • u silly cunt its not hamiltons car otherwise kovalining would be up there aswell hamilton is the best driver in the world by a mile , u sad prick

  • if it wasnt for a massas engine blowing and the pit crew in singapoor massa would have won the championship by now

  • stupid comment if I ever read one. Perhaps don't comment on F1 until you learn something.

  • LOL!!! Um.. sure. Put that punk in a Minardi to start his career like Alonso did. Not start with the top team. Give me a break.

  • Hamilton and Alonso was in the same team last season, and finished equal on points.

    So what if Hamilton started his F1 career with a top team? Oh, I know what he should do, go and drive for Force India until YOU think he has spent enough time in a lesser car....Get fucking real!!!

  • HELLO! Did you not know that at McClaren they treat one guy like gold and the other like shit?! They are treating Kov like shit in favor if ham. Just like they treated Montoya like shit for Kimi. They certainly treated Alonso like shit. That's why he 'turned' on them. He may have been sleezy but McClaren needed to get fucked for the way they treated him. Kov is not happy for playing number 2 on the team and rightly so. They always put one guy as main man and put most resources to him.

  • Yeah! McLaren are really going to spend millions to bring the world champion to their team and make him play second fiddle to a 1st year rookie.

  • In theory, you are right. BUT.. some times theory is only that. Reality is he true test and it was clear from day one that LH was Ron's baby. Always has been. He was groomed like a little Nazi Hitler-Youth by Ron to be his little baby.

  • It was clear from day one that Hamilton is a top driver. Infact it was clear before he went into F1, when he won the GP2 series at the first attempt, and a string of other open wheel championships right back to karting from the age of 10.

    The reality is that Alonso got upstaged by a 1st year rookie, and he couldn't handle it, so he stamped his feet, spat his dummy out, and had a tantrum by blackmailing his employers for something he was also up to his neck in.

  • Not so much

  • Nah, Hamilton is a good driver... great? don't know yet. time will tell. atleast next season is looking to be more competitive than just ferrari and mcClaren. the last thing F1 needs right now is another schumacher which hamilton has the potential of doing with nearly a billion dollars crammed into development. it will kill the sport. and everyone knows f1 cars are never the same in the same teams set up's are to suit the driver not the manufacturer.

  • Rated 1 star because Lewis is a tosser. Video is otherwise well done.

  • alonso only won one race this season!!!

    JAJAJAJAJA!

  • Me contestas a un comentario que hice hace tres semanas???

    Debes de ser tonto...

  • 2 Douchebag.. in a shit car might I add

  • umm..Honda is a shit team..not Renault..but i remember seeing Barrichello coming in 2nd in Silverstone in the downpour and where was Alonso?

    and there's no need to be a bitch and call me a douchebag..PMS much?

  • My bad for name calling dickhead.. LOL! Just kidding! :) Anyway... no.. If you recall.. Alonso started with MINARDI the shittiest team in F1 history. Rubens is great in the rain.

  • wrong

    hamilton is a lewser

  • spelt like a true 'winnar'

    dickhead

  • sorry jamesbitch

  • fantastic. nice job.

  • thanks this was a very nice video.

  • it uses fuel faster then your tap runs!

  • I wish this is included into school programme :))

  • NO, they arent V10's anymore there is now a restriction so all f1 cars only have v8's. He says the faster you change your position not how fast you change your speed. Now who is ignorant.

  • Formula 1 regulation brought in 2.4 litre V8 engines in 2006. Prior to this they were 3 litre V10s.

    Before becoming pointlessly aggressive about facts, educate yourself about the thing you're blurting and perhaps take a Ritalin.

    You may be deliberately trying to be obtuse, in which case, it worked.

  • yes im sorry i thought he was saying the rate at which you change speed for some reason..and i did not realize the f1 cars now how v8's...and i do have ADHD really bad and forgot to take my pill yesterday...just kidding haha

  • You're the ignorant elephant ass - they used to be 3.0l v10's however they are now 2.4l V8s. Typical american - stick to nascar you twat!

  • why are you so dumb sciencemadefun!!!!!!! ive watched 37 seconds and already hate you...how fast you change your speed is called ACCELERATION!!!!!

  • I misheard and almost made the same idiotic mistake that you made; but he said, "Speed is a measure of how fast your position is changing."

    That's 'position' and not as you said: 'speed'.

    If your speed changes, it is acceleration. If your position changes, the qualities of change are distance; direction; and speed (distance over time).

    If you can't listen to or understand technical information properly, be wary of making yourself look pompous and stupid by admonishing people wrongly.

  • this is a cool clip very informative cud do with mo info about the cars,the expences and whos who i mean the ceos and stuff like that.

  • not bad a bit of science, the person who,s talking is wrong about the engine in the F1 cars, its a 2L engine not a 4L.

  • He says 2.4L engine. It's right.

  • 2007 was one of the most exciting seasons in F1 history. This video proves ANYTHING can be made to sound boring. Thanks sciencemadefun!

  • The only thing im getting into is your mum and yer girlfriend.. if yu have 1.

    Wanker

  • noob f1 fan let me guess how long you have been watching it hmmmm last year? fucking twat Lewis is an arrogant cunt great driver but complete cunt oh and also you give out the oldest insults ever

  • fuck sake u make f1 sound so boring

  • that was amazing

  • science is fun!!!

  • holy shit :from 0 to 160km/h to 0 in 5 sec.

  • boring science is

  • dude who did this vid is one cheesy fcuk with too much time on his hands!!

  • very nice video but the total could have been better. this is has nothing to do with hamilton it's has to do with f1. so if u change the title u might attract more viewers since hamilton has done nothing for now until he wins his first championship then we say how he does it. nows he's got zero !

  • Wow, what a stunning retard.

    I suppose he won every formula he was in prior to F1 because he was always in the best car as well then?

  • In fact in GP2 in 2006 all teams race with the exact same car as each other. And Hamilton pretty much dominated, getting on the podium 14 times.

  • They echnically race with the same cars but trust me... there are better and worse team in GP2. Hamilton won the GP2 title with the same team as Nico Rosberg did with in the previous year. That team was undoubtedly the best team in those 2 years and the GP2 paddock would agree with that

  • Well he must better than Raikkonen and Alonso,,,both drove  Mclarens and never achieved what he has, in practically the same car. Thats 2 world champions,,,well 1 world champion, as I dont count Raikkonen.

  • Are you ragged edge from itv f1 forums?At least you seem to be as stupid...

  • Wow the fuel pumps fluid faster than a kitchen tap,,,,,,thats amazing

  • Can I just say first that Spyker don't exist anymore, so that shows how much u know about F1.

    Also Michael Schumacher himself said these exact words about Lewis Hamilton:

    "He's a quality driver, very strong and only 16. If he keeps this up I'm sure he will reach F1. He's clearly got the right racing mentality."

    Mind u, u were bound 2 say that, cause ur a Schumacher fan.

    Don't be so bitter, just cause Hamilton is better than Schuey!

    Oh, and it's not Lewish Hamilton.

  • u obviously dont know about cars what more racin,cuz u should know that cars dont make pple good,pple make cars good i wonder why f1 teams spend soo much money on drivers if they can make a fast car and put any1 inside it to win races

  • You could at least credit the game you used to create these scenes - Rfactor.

  • This is quite a nice insight into Formula 1. Nice work.

  • who do u mean by "we"?

  • Ferrari, the fans and FIA and the motor sports assess, that's my opinion.

  • McLarren chief engg and Hami both suck horse manure and they should put them both in prison for sabotage and stealing.

  • Hamilton never had anything to do with Spygate I or II.

  • I don't care, the whole team did and they are totally disqualified in 2007.

  • You have to be one of the most stupid people in YouTube. You have made almost no knowledge go avery long way. Are you a ferrari fan blinded by your love of the red car by any chance. If you knew anything about this you would know that McLaren gained no advantage in this episode.

  • McLaren sucks horse manure, Mclaren doesn't even have an engine, bunch of cheats, and Mercedes should drop their ass for 2008, if anyone is stupid its you loser, haha, I'll never forget when those two red rockets wiped your butts in Brazil. Unforgettable.

  • mercedes own most of mclaren you fucking screaming pillock. and the only reason they didnt win the championship was because of a transmission control error... so it wasnt really the ferrari's that won it, it was mclaren/merc who lost it. why don't you just shut the fuck up until you actually know something except the colour of the car. but yea go ferrari!

  • yah u dont know shit cuz if u did u wud know that mercedes pratically owns vodafone mclaren f1 team,its impossible to drop them bcuz they arent just engine providers but they are owners of the team as well,get ur facts before u start rantin away

  • Hami is a loser; he is inexperienced and needs 7 more years before he can win a F1 race

  • he already won like 4 races... and is obviously therefore a winner. he also consistently outqualified and outraced far more experienced drivers than himself. definately a future great. originalrock! you can't see your own dick! oh no!

  • Shut up you pillock he's already won 4! Do you even watch Formula 1?

  • what freakin f1 are u watchin dumb ass,thats if u watch f1 at all,hamilton is already on his 5th career victory if u didnt realize

  • formula cars can only generate 4 g's in corners and thats when there goin fast not slow like in a hairpin corner

  • 4.7 is the most one has ever reached

  • a f1 car cannot generate 5G's on a hairpin... twat. Only on fast corners where the downforce actually has an effect..... check your facts mate. and all those twatish alonso fans winging about foul play, shutup and we'll see whoes right at the end of next season.

  • no he's not :P

  • LEWIS HAMILTON IS 2007 CHAMPION!!!

  • Really? And how that could be possible? Kimi is the Champ.

  • spot on lewis is champ!

  • nah again i have to say it to you he screwd up 2 times in row first was litlebit about team but still he didint make it in pit way :P

  • bcuz the freakin car was impossible to drive...do u understand when they say u are a passenger of ur own vehicle? he cudnt control the car for shit

  • hate coultard hes retarded f1 is fun science  i dunno

  • MCLAREN are cheaters

    they snick on other cars which is embarresing to GB

  • JuzziZ im with you, hamilton noob, how didnt he won in china?? oh my god over 12 point over alonso and 15 over raikkonen.. oh my god..

  • Hamilton's gear box broke the last race. The only other driver who could go from 17th to 7th with a broken car was Schumacher. A hollow victory for Kimi.

  • Haha, if youre mean 2006, Schumacher was about 70 seconds behind after the pit stop. He was about 35-40 seconds faster than Massa, when Hamilton even lost time to Alonso, who the team didnt support.

    And Schumacher was fourth so there was nothing same with the performances

  • he also had a far more dominant car

  • He wouldn't have had the "gearbox" problem if he hadn't of tried that stupid move trying to pass Alonso needlessly on the first lap. Besides, the McLaren were convicted of cheating so if they were to have won the championship I fail to see how it would have been any less hollow than Raikkonens (who won twice as many races at Hamilton, BTW)

  • what has that got to do with his gearbox failing....christ u pple are too damn ignorant and what do u mean kimi won twice as many races,do u know math? twice as much as hamilton is 8 wins,kimi had 6wins,very very big difference my friend

  • a hollow race victory sure... but ferrari had their problems at the start of the season - definately not a hollow championship win. i'm for lewis all the way but that's unfair to a great team and an amazing driver.

  • 17 over kimi

  • I can`t respect a driver who doesn`t play fair,and gets away from everything he does by racejudges/Fia/bernie.What a ridicilous favoritism for hamilton.He is a good driver though,but hes getting away with Everything.What a JOKE

  • lickaz and justin stop chatting shit. if you did ur homework and looked at what he did to get where he is, and his determination and will to win you'd see he deserves the title more than anyone else. and winning at tracks he's never been to before, let alone in an f1 car is ridiculous. good luck today lewis!

  • do u post this on every hamilton video? get a life man

  • ALONSO WILL WIN THE CHAMPIONSHIP!

  • ha ha

  • Hamilton hasn't done ANYthing special this year - just driven at a moderate speed, and mainly been slower than everyone else the whole year!

  • Jealousy and he is driving for your country Britian, RACIST PIG !!!!!!

  • Well actualy I also have nationality of South Africa - Im not fucking racist! I just dont like the lad, I cant help it if i think Kimi and Massa deserve the title more - its beacuse they have worked so hard for it!

  • ohh south african why am i not surprised that u hate hamilton,massa deserves the title more? he cant even drive without drivers aids,u south africans need to stop being racist and wake up to the new world,i never seen pple that love only themselves like south africans,yes am not just sayin that,i have been to south africa thousands of times and i know how u all act

  • 6 pole positions - equalled by only massa. 4 race wins. on the podium most of the year. not a bad start... you don't outperform a 2 time world champion in an identical machine by driving moderately well.

  • Hamilton didnt outperform Alonso - they tied on points remember? Duh!

  • yeah and if that is true then alonso was super slow,the rest of the field werent even racing,once the light goes off they all stand and let kimi and hami and alonso race,dumb retard,u pple should just shut up cuz that way u dont show how stupid u are

  • Hamilton has only won 4 of his first 16 races. Jaques Villeneuve did that in 96 and ended up a nobody. Hamilton has done nothing yet to be called a great. Had he started at Red Bull or Renault or Williams like all other rookies - he wouldn't have attracted any attention. It's just the car, not him! (Though admittedly he has made less mistakes than Alonso)

  • jacques villeneuve a nobody??? he is a world champion buddy... you might think of him as a nobody but i hope no-one who loves f1 does... that would be really fucked up. an amazing driver.

  • Yeah JV was a nobody - he should never have got a gig - he was crap for years in F3 and only held his jobs coz of his old man's name - after zillions of miles of driving he finally developed a bit competence - but so would have anyone given the same surname.

    Nope - he is a thumbs down as far as the experts are concerned. His Dad was fantastic - but he was a dickhead!

  • dumb ass,its just the car,what the car makes itself fast? cars dont make pple fast,pple make cars fast,and villeneuve didnt have as much podiums as hamilton did and dont tell me cuz he didnt have a good car cuz at that time his car was really good,hamilton so far is the most successful rookie in f1 history surpassing whatever villenueve did

  • alonso N1. hamilton (FIA + MCLAREN + ENGLISH MEDIA), no cheaters plz :), alonso f1 2007 champion :)

  • alonso blackmailed and lied so that he could compromise his team mate's championship without anyone questioning him. that sounds like cheating to me.

  • Yup... it's a very low down dirty form of cheating too... makes me sick to think Alonso is still in F1, after dropping so low.

    Just hope politics don't slow up Hamilton again in 2008... who in my opinion was the rightful/moral WDC winner in 2007...

  • "moral winner"? he choked under pressure in China, did it again in Brazil Yes he SHOULD have been WDC but he threw it away.

    [He also cheated in qualifying in Hungary and when Alonso retaliated he was penalised 5 grid spots so thats a few more points Alonso should have been up on Hami at the end of the season - so Hami deserved 3rd, not =2 and certainly not 1st, as you claim.]

  • your a cock

  • devastating retort there - yes my argument is in a shambles - decimated by your in-depth insight.

    BWAHAHAHAHAH

  • How did Hamilton cheat in qualifying in Hungary?

    It was Alonso that cheated you idiot.

    Plainly, you know nothing about Formula One.

  • Its you that plainly knows nothing - Hami went out a head of Alonso to fuck up his quali session (which worked) and was reprimanded by McLaren (but not punished by FIA, as Alonso was when he retaliated by blocking Hami in the pits). It's like the school kid thumping another kid and then getting decked back, and only the second kid gets busted. This was when i decided i hoped Hami lost the WDC - which he did (thanks also to some choking in China and Brazil)

    You have been owned!

  • Hamilton go go go go!!!! brazil

  • idiot the tyre pressure issue happens all the time to all drivers,am sure it has happened to hamilton too just alonso fans like to make a big deal out of everythin,even alonso said it that it always happens in f1,they pple that check the guage are human beings ofcourse sometimes they wud miscalculate

  • lewis hamiltion no1 best driver i have ever seen. and will be around for a long time. alonso is a bad loser and a cry baby.

  • colin we know all u r teaching us

  • Ha, the funny thing is that some "global warming due to CO2" idiot believer sees this and say that formula 1 is also a global warming contributor. And as how stupid and credulous people are, i'm not surprised.

  • Excellent video, explaining the physics of F1. I've already had college physics well beyond this video, but it's great for everyone, and it's a fun facts video. Thanks for making this!

  • Alonso is magic, he's the number one...

  • Was he the guy who crashed today? I thought he was number 2...

  • The punishment does NOT fit the crime.McLIARen.If Lewis or Alonso wins,its a victory with a cheat.And thats all to it.I used to like mclaren,not anymore...no,no,no.SHAME u bastards.
