Why F1 cars are SLOWER than Supercars? Engineer Explains!

Here are 6 major misconceptions about why an F1 car ISN'T faster than some supercars.
I wasn't even going to make this video until I posted a Short about Formula 1 cars and their top speeds. But I had so many comments with some very fundamental misconceptions about how power, drag, weight, and gearing are all related.

I'm a graduate engineer, with some FS experience and a massive F1 fan. I have been watching your channel since the beggining and I want to offer you massive congratulations for the fine balance between simple explanations and deep dives you make, Blake, you are awesome man, keep it up!

That external combustion engine joke caught me off guard lmao
-
I’m a dancer with a Mechanical Engineering degree who’s been following Formula 1 for about three years now and i must say, your videos are beautifully done! It’s refreshing to hear someone with actual engineering knowledge breaking down the beauty of math and physics in F1! Reminds me of how much of a nerd I am and why I love motor sport! Bravo sir! Bravo👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

You are the F1 Mark Rober and I hope you will soon be enjoying the same level of success! Thank you for the great content!
-
That external combustion engine joke had me finished. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
-
Excellent video Blake. One of your best. Informative, concise and easy-to-understand. Good job homie!
-
As someone who works in the Automotive industry as an engineer, I could not think of an easier way to explain those concepts than you did in the video. Also, your insights on the external combustion engines developed by ferrari is amazing.
-
Been on F1 yt for a long time now. I already had a very good understanding of these concepts, yet still this video got me hooked. I think I've never seen anyone explain this subject so well. Great video
-
What a great channel to get into F1 and keep learning about it. Keep it up mate!!!
-
agree with that ending, I feel waaaaaaaaaaay more smarter watching this video HAHAHA. Another great one Blake, makes me wanna re-visit my undergrad thesis. I remember it took me quite a while to write the "background" part on how aerodynamics in race car works. Wish this video was uploaded 2 years ago, not an hour ago 😂😂😂
-
great video bud, you have a thing for these explanations, keep up the good work
-
How about a "what if" video of if F1 had a drag race at the end of every season, where they removed all regulations and let teams go absolutely berserk. Some questions: 1. What sort of regulations are hindering the ability to max out a car's straight line speed? 2. Which generation of f1 car is the best to try a top speed record on? 3. Which team's chassis/aero design/ power unit is already best equipped for the job? Thanks! This video made me sub today!
-
Brilliant video. The way you broke down the drag coefficient and it's relation to top speed for F1 cars is amazing.
-
This was a good watch, love the information🔥
-
Great. The final part tells why an f1 car can be driven only by people that are well prepared physically
-
Your content is always fascinating.
-
Keep up the great work Blake!
-
I'd loved too see all the equations in one frame so you can follow allong and pause to understand it. Otherwise very nice video. I came into f1 because I was interested in the physics of cars and racing. Love this kind of content.
-
I randomly ended up here and i love the knowledge you gave through this video. I don't usually comment, but great video!
-
I have enjoyed it and thank you for making it
