How McLaren went from Tractor to Challenger!

Looking at the time delta graphs, it's mind-blowing that norris actually gains on verstappen on the low speed corners.

Love the analysis, keep it up. Andrea Stella has confirmed that a low drag rear wing is in the works because they simply cannot go to Monza without one.

If only redbull didn’t exist season would be nuts 💀

I can’t believe how complicated that graph was, but still completely understandable. You’re amazing at visualizing this and explaining this ! Keep it up !

I think People could "see" better if there was a way to know exactingly what say 5kmh difference on the main straight at Spa equated to in feet and/or meters. For instance, on a 200 meter track section, 5kmh difference might only be .661 meters on a straight section, but on a low speed tight corner, that same 5kmh difference might be more like 2 full meters, or almost half a car length. I think this would be very helpful to "the common enthusiast" because this is EXACTLY how a Race Set Up Engineer decides where to focus, and where to allow compromise...... Well except maybe Ferrari...... This would help a lot of people to understand better, especially on Sprint race weekends where track time is so limited.

Random observation here. I had seats in Miami near the start lights. I could see into most of the garages very clearly with binoculars. I noticed Lando running a front wing with a different shape in FP2, compared to the one he ran in FP1, and different from Oscar’s in FP2. It did not appear for the remainder of the weekend. Could it have been a pre-cursor of the new parts to come, in order to collect data? He had a much different FP2 compared to the rest of the weekend.

Love this channel for the best insight and actual data on F1. Discovered the past few months and certainly have been rewarded for subscribing with quality content 👌

Love the heat map! Excited to hear that you have the code to update it over time.

Great Video! Andrea Stella said that for Monza they are going to have a low down force package let’s see if they have it in time, he admitted that they didn’t focus on low down force with these upgrades.

my quez - how many brown paper bags full of money, was slipped to checco - to crash the RB at monaco letting the entire field see the floor. And why did checco, then proceed to rear end that same RB, into the barriers, in first practice, about three or four times thereafter. he seems to have learned to drive the car out of the pits for more than a lap again.... now I'm not going full Briatorie here - but I'm getting close. This floor is the single most reason MCL is now fast enough to podium....and the other teams wont be too far behind sticking that same floor on their tractors.

9:27 at least someone says his name right

This is awesome! I love your content, really great explanations and easily to understand. And Andrea Stella was talking about them doing something for Monza etc. and prodrucing a new rear wing. They just didn't have the time yet. Hopefully it'll help. They have the drivers, this season could get more interesting in the fight for second.

The more you look at the telemetry data, the more you realise that these drivers are robots. The consistency is just insane.

Really glad i found this channel. Your data driven analysis is great, but you're also well informed. You've earned a sub from me. Great job

Loved the way u explained such a complex topic in a simple and effective manner...definitely learned a lot in detail abt f1 today...vud love to see more such videos❤💥

What an awesome analysis, thanks so much Blake!! Toot toot for Albert Fabrega as well :D

Fantastic analysis, gives another dimension instead of just focusing on the cars droning around. keep it up!

I think the 2018 McLaren was up to 16 kph slower than Ferrari on the straights.

Very informative! Keep up the great work 👏

Finally i learned how to read these graphs, great video!
