With F1 pre-season in full swing, Damon and Johnny return with another episode of Stay On Track, and this time they’re discussing car launches and testing from a driver’s perspective. They share some weird and wacky stories from their own careers, including the time Damon was almost sacked during a car launch and the time Johnny inadvertently found himself part of a space opera! They also discuss how testing has changed over the years, and debate whether the current restrictions on testing have limited opportunities for drivers to experiment with new driving techniques - something that could be a big factor this year, with the new regulations…

Tire
"Entonces, necesitas tener el más estrés en el Tire, pero eres el más rápido equipo de ahí."
Tires are the rubber parts of a car that touch the road. In racing, the right tires are very important because they help the car grip the track and go fast.
In motorsport, tires are crucial components that affect a car's performance, handling, and speed. Different types of tires are designed for various conditions and racing strategies, impacting how a car performs on the track.
Term
end plate
"...you've got the end plate and it's just literally a square little end plate, rectangular end plate and these little bits on it..."
An end plate is a flat piece attached to the end of a car's wing that helps control the air moving around it. It makes the car more stable and helps it stick to the track better.
An end plate is a component often found on the wings of race cars, designed to improve aerodynamic efficiency by reducing drag and increasing downforce. It helps to stabilize airflow around the wing and the car's body.
Term
understeer
"...a bit of a Porsche, a bit of a understeer or maybe there's a little bit of an oversteer on the exit, whatever it may be. But you turned in and it literally went down..."
Understeer happens when the front of the car doesn't turn as much as you want it to, making it feel like the car is sliding forward instead of turning. It's like when you try to steer but the car just keeps going straight.
Understeer is a handling characteristic of a vehicle where the front tires lose grip before the rear tires, causing the car to turn less than intended. This often results in the car continuing straight instead of following the desired path during a turn.
Term
oversteer
"...a bit of a Porsche, a bit of a understeer or maybe there's a little bit of an oversteer on the exit, whatever it may be. But you turned in and it literally went down..."
Oversteer is when the back of the car starts to slide out during a turn, making it feel like the car is trying to spin around. It's the opposite of understeer and can be tricky to handle.
Oversteer is a handling characteristic where the rear tires lose grip before the front tires, causing the rear of the car to swing out during a turn. This can lead to a loss of control if not managed properly.
Term
mid-corner
"...it literally went down, it went through the mid-corner, it got to the exit and it was unbelievable..."
Mid-corner is the part of a turn when the car is fully turned and is trying to go through the bend. It's important for keeping speed and control while turning.
Mid-corner refers to the phase of a turn when a vehicle is at its apex, or the point where it is most turned in. This is a critical moment for maintaining speed and control during a corner.
Term
wake
"...when you put lock on the car going under the car and disturbing the downfall."
Wake is the messy air that swirls behind a car as it moves. This can make it harder for the car to stay stable and grip the road.
In aerodynamics, 'wake' refers to the turbulent air that is created behind a moving object, such as a car. This turbulence can negatively affect the performance of the vehicle by disrupting airflow and reducing downforce.
Term
downforce
"...you suddenly got clean air going under the car and the car stuck."
Downforce is what keeps a car glued to the road, especially when going fast. It helps the tires grip better, so the car doesn't slide around in turns.
Downforce is the aerodynamic force that pushes a car down onto the track, increasing traction and stability at high speeds. It is crucial for performance in racing, as it helps maintain control during cornering.
Term
aerodynamicist
"...because I was the only racing driver, not an aerodynamicist. But you know, I've long held the view that if they carried on with those things..."
An aerodynamicist is a person who studies how air moves around things like cars. They help make cars faster and more stable by improving their shape.
An aerodynamicist is an engineer who specializes in the study of how air interacts with moving objects, particularly vehicles. Their work is crucial in optimizing car designs for better performance and stability.
Term
front wings
"But as I said, I don't have the maths to prove it. I don't have the maths, but I would take the front wings off."
Front wings are parts on the front of a race car that help it stick to the ground when going fast. Changing them can change how the car handles turns.
Front wings are aerodynamic components on a race car that help generate downforce, improving grip and stability during high-speed cornering. Adjusting or removing them can significantly affect a car's handling characteristics.
Term
traction control
"But one other thing we discovered, which was talking to Paddy Lowe because I did the development of traction control. And what the traction control does is when you put your foot down, it cuts some of the engine."
Traction control is a feature in cars that helps keep the wheels from spinning too much when you accelerate. It makes driving safer by helping the car maintain grip on the road.
Traction control is a system that helps prevent wheel spin during acceleration by adjusting engine power or applying brakes to specific wheels. This technology enhances vehicle stability and control, especially in slippery conditions.
Term
wheel speed
"Well, it sees wheel speed. So if the wheel starts to overspeed, in other words, you're losing grip with power going through the rear wheels."
Wheel speed is how fast the wheels of a car are turning. It's important for systems that help the car stay stable and not skid when accelerating.
Wheel speed refers to the rotational speed of a vehicle's wheels, which is crucial for systems like traction control to monitor and adjust power delivery. It helps determine if the wheels are slipping or losing grip.
Part
Moog valve
"we basically had a little Moog valve."
A Moog valve is a part used in cars to help control how fluids move, which can be important for systems like traction control that help the car maintain grip on the road.
A Moog valve is a type of control valve often used in automotive applications for managing fluid flow and pressure. In this context, it likely relates to the vehicle's traction control system.
Term
throttle
"No, it was cutting the throttle."
The throttle is a part of the car that controls how much air goes into the engine. When you press the gas pedal, it opens the throttle to let in more air and make the car go faster.
The throttle is a component in an engine that controls the amount of air entering the engine, which in turn regulates engine power and speed. It is typically operated by the accelerator pedal.
Car
Honda That Honda
"...rly a kind of technical challenge. I've just seen that Honda, Watanabe, is saying that maybe we'll struggle. S..."
The Honda That's is a small car that was made by Honda in the 1990s. It's designed to be practical and easy to drive in cities, with a shape that helps it fit into tight spaces. People might talk about it because of its quirky design and how it makes good use of space inside.
The Honda That's is a compact multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) that was produced by Honda in the 1990s. It is known for its unique design and versatility, making it a popular choice in urban environments where space is limited. The car's significance lies in its innovative approach to maximizing interior space while maintaining a small footprint.
Term
flappy wings
"...but having to make this work and learning to drive the car with flappy wings and approaching the strategy of racing per lap..."
'Flappy wings' are parts of a race car that can move up and down to help the car go faster or have better grip on the track. Drivers can adjust them while racing to match the track conditions.
'Flappy wings' refer to adjustable aerodynamic wings on a race car that can change their angle to optimize downforce and drag. This technology allows drivers to adapt their car's performance to different racing conditions.
Concept
racing strategy
"...and approaching the strategy of racing per lap, how you utilize these options that you have..."
Racing strategy is the plan drivers and teams use during a race to decide when to change tires, when to refuel, and how to drive to get the best results. It's like a game plan for winning the race.
Racing strategy involves planning how to approach a race, including decisions on tire selection, pit stops, and how to manage speed and fuel throughout the race. It is crucial for maximizing performance and achieving the best possible finish.
Term
lift and coasting
"...if that safety car doesn't come out, they have to ease off and do a bit of lift and coasting to save the fuel."
Lift and coasting means letting off the gas pedal and letting the car roll instead of speeding up. Drivers do this to save fuel, especially during races when they need to be careful about how much fuel they have left.
Lift and coasting is a driving technique used to save fuel by easing off the throttle and allowing the car to coast instead of accelerating. This method is often employed during races when fuel conservation is critical, especially when the strategy involves a safety car.
Car
Williams FW18
"No, the championship car, the FW18. I jumped in, I just knew that was a great car. It was just immediately fantastic."
The Williams FW18 is a famous racing car from Formula 1, used in the 1996 season. It was very successful and helped its driver win the championship.
The Williams FW18 is a Formula 1 car that competed in the 1996 season. It was known for its strong performance and was driven by notable drivers like Damon Hill, who won the World Championship that year.
Term
wet races
"The logic was wet races are exciting. And that's because there's less grip. So if we made the tyres have less grip, the cars will be more exciting because the drivers would slide around a bit more."
Wet races happen when it rains during a race, making the track slippery. This can change how cars handle and how drivers need to drive.
Wet races refer to motorsport events that take place on a wet track, typically due to rain. These conditions can significantly affect tire performance and grip, making the race more challenging for drivers.
Term
grip
"And that's because there's less grip. So if we made the tyres have less grip, the cars will be more exciting because the drivers would slide around a bit more."
Grip is how well the tires stick to the road. More grip means the car can go faster and turn better without sliding.
Grip refers to the friction between the tires and the road surface, which affects a car's ability to accelerate, brake, and corner effectively. Higher grip means better control and stability, especially in racing.
Term
slip angle
"the way that you can have more slip angle on the tyre"
Slip angle is how much a tire is turned compared to where it's actually going. It helps explain how cars can slide when they turn too fast.
Slip angle is the angle between the direction a tire is pointing and the direction it is actually moving. It is crucial for understanding how a car behaves during cornering, especially at the limit of grip.

¡Oh!
Eso fue realmente una buena trabajo rápido.
Un día más rápido para todo el fitness de las cosas.
Es en primer lugar.
La Athletic.
Voy a hacer una mitad de chocolate chip, solo para crear controversia.
En este episodio de Stay On Track, Frank no explodió exactamente
nada que hacer con marketing.
Él no era ese tipo.
Frank Williams fue famosa por ver cada peli en el carro.
Y era como un machine gun.
Cuando empezó a leer el espíritu,
fue así.
Se took the opportunity of claiming that I had breached the contract.
Y no he tenido que empezar driving for him.
Yo he breached the contract before I even had the launch.
Hemos hecho todo el test en Hereth, creo que fue.
Y me recuerda que tomamos todo el fuel, porque no fuimos muy rápido.
Hemos tenido muchos problemas.
¿No fuimos tan rápido?
En el fuel.
¡Solo fuel!
Sí, sí.
¿Puede que no lo fuiste?
Sí, sí.
¡Puede que fuiste mal!
¡Puede que fuiste mal!
¡No, no!
¿Puede que fuiste mal?
¿Puede que fuiste mal?
¿Sabes esa expresión?
Sí.
El tren se destró alNO, el ESO se destró.
Bueno, el tren no lo destró.
No, no, no.
Ya estamos hasta el año de launcher.
Testar el año de la guerra deperada, se puede llamar.
¿Sabes?
Sí.
¿Tienes antes que?
Todavía se ha ocurrido y todo el mundo está hablando.
Si, intentando trabajar, como ha hecho,
como fue el Quick One, como no,
y todos han aparecido y anunciado todo lo positivo.
¿Sólo tiene que ser el right thing?
Sí, pero no tiene nada positivo.
Así que hemos hecho eso, ¿no?
Hemos estado ahí en esa experiencia como colegio de racistas,
cuando realmente quieres salir de ahí y empezar a racar,
tienes que hacer el test y tienes que hacer estas lanzas.
Sí, y se ve desde nuestra perspectiva,
porque yo creo que nunca veas la construcción a una lanza,
solo veas la construcción, pero veas todo desde nuestra perspectiva
de cómo esa construcción sorta de suceder.
Así que podemos discutir un par de lanzas,
hay algunos buenos y hay algunos malos.
Este es el sponsor.
Ellos quieren su párrafo, ellos quieren los de media coverage
y ellos te van a hacer...
El departamento de marketing va a ir a overdrive
y ellos te van a venir con las ideas creciosas
que pueden venir con, para intentar grabar la atención de los personas.
Bueno, ellos lo hacen, pero hay ciertas lanzas.
Yo no creo que haya grabado ninguna de ellas.
Yo creo que ha convertido más, ha convertido más.
Y yo he hecho un lanzamiento digital.
¿Has hecho un lanzamiento digital?
Yo creo que he parado antes de tener un lanzamiento digital.
Yo creo que no había parado.
¿De qué manera? ¿Cómo se puede hacer un lanzamiento digital?
Digital, es una sala, la mitad de esto.
Hacía una escena con una cámara,
y yo y Nicolay Larini,
creo que era mi equipo cuando estaba en Salba,
y tuvimos una persona que iba a entrar a la escena
y luego hicimos una entrevista sobre el lanzamiento de la carrera de Salba.
De hecho, debe ser un lanzamiento digital.
El lanzamiento de la carrera de Salba,
fue la peor cosa que he tenido.
Era la cosa más rara de intentar hablar de una carrera
cuando no hay nada en el backgrounds.
No hay personas en la escena,
no hay un avalamiento de una carrera,
no hay nada.
¿Y tú prefieres eso?
¿El gran showbiz reveló?
Bueno, creo que había un poco más de interacción con las personas.
No había interacción con nadie.
Era solo una bala blanca.
Es todo lo que estaba viendo en la pantalla.
Era solo un odio.
¿Eso fue Salba?
Sí, fue Salba.
Ellos son muy divertidos, ¿no?
Ellos no existen más.
Ellos son interesantes.
Ellos no existen más.
Ellos no existen más.
Estás bien.
Bueno, creo que era el otro extremo,
porque el lanzamiento de E.J.
Frank no había explotado exactamente
nada que hacer con marketing.
No, no.
Él no era ese tipo.
Frank Williams,
fue famosa por gastar todos los pesos en la carrera,
y no quería perder tiempo.
Hacemos cosas como los días de filmar,
para que podamos ir a todo el material que necesitabas,
que no hubiera sido cubierto por el coverage,
de la forma de la que te permitiera filmar las caras
y usarla durante el año.
Entonces, cada vez que veas una carrera
que parece que está siguiendo un seat
o algo,
vamos de izquierda a izquierda a izquierda.
Y hay dos caras mirando como si estuvieran en la carrera,
pero ahora están viajando por 40 metros.
Eso fue desde el día de filmar.
Sí.
Entonces, tienen todo su material en la caja,
pero como un conductor
se va a ir a entrar en la carrera,
pero no puedes, tienes que hacer esto,
pintando los fotográficos.
Sí.
Entonces, lo hicimos.
Porque estás bien.
Se va a ir a entrar en la carrera.
No estoy muy seguro de que es lo mismo.
Creo que llegamos a eso un poco más tarde.
Pero las lanzas, sí.
Dime,
creo que hiciste una verdadera flasca.
Con Jordan.
Con Jordan.
Entonces, Eddi,
empezó a escalar,
creo que las personas como Eddi
empezaron a realizar
que esta era una oportunidad
de jugar drum en el escenario o algo.
Y entonces,
empezó a la paladina de Londres.
La paladina de Londres.
Sí.
Y eso fue un poco más tarde.
Pero eso era más de una...
No me recuerdo
porque he estado haciendo some PR
para algo.
Sí.
Para el equipo.
Sí.
Para ti mismo.
Sí.
Entonces,
yo estaba haciendo mi trabajo
en la carrera de la carrera
y eso empezó el siglo XXX.
Y, y, y...
Y eso fue un poco tarde
para su evento de lanzamiento.
No que se ha matado.
Todo el mundo estaba ahí de all.
Pero,
él took the opportunity
of claiming I'd breach the contract.
Y yo no tenía que empezar
a llevarlo a Jordan.
¡Eso es clácido!
¡Solo estaba en el contrato!
Yo no tenía que tener el lanzamiento.
¡Eso es clácido!
Pero eso fue lo que
estaba haciendo con Eddi.
Sí.
Entonces, un poco más
embarazo.
Sí.
Y se hizo un tono,
realmente,
para lo que iba a ser como
para el resto de los dos años.
Yo lo llevó para él.
No, no.
Pero, entonces,
él fue un paso más allá.
El próximo año,
íbamos,
íbamos a Alba Hall.
¡Oh!
Y a Cirque du Soleil
una colaboración.
¡Oh, bien!
Sí.
Sí.
Ok.
Sí.
Yo tenía algo similar.
Sólo,
yo creo que estaba en
Baden,
Baden,
Baden,
Baden,
Baden,
Baden,
Baden,
Baden,
No.
No, no.
C verme,
Cicação delronics.

I think it was cool.
And we were then part of the production,
Y eso es una cosa que no me acuerdo.
¿Pero que es eso?
No.
¿Tiene un problema?
No.
No.
Yo creo que es cierto.
Porque nosotros, no, no.
¿Pero que es eso?
No.
No.
No.
¿Pero que es eso?
No.
No, no.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
Sí, así que estoy bailando a las personas que están volando a la ronda, sí, oye.
Así que, como un conductor, te sientes que a veces es un poco self-conscious de hacer estas cosas.
Porque no quieres ser un tipo de asesino, pero al mismo tiempo, no quieres hacerse un idiota.
No, no, no, no.
Estás ahí para viajar, pero sabes que los departamentos de marketing quieren que te bailes y cantas también.
Sí, sí, pero yo hice High Park, cuando estaba en Lotus.
Me acuerdo que hicimos una en el medio de High Park, que es, de nuevo, bastante raro.
Me acuerdo que he visto una foto, que era solo yo y un par de mujeres...
Ducs.
...de atrás de Ducs.
Un par de mujeres alrededor de la ronda con los Ducs en el fondo.
Oh, no, no, no, no.
Y entonces, eso fue, eso fue, eso fue el final de ese avión.
Así que, eso fue un interés.
Hace Clarages.
Hace Clarages también.
Bueno, eso fue bien.
93.
¿Qué hiciste ahí?
Hace un par de cocteles o algo.
Antes.
Hace eso, sí, antes en el área.
En Clarages.
Hace Clarages.
Eso fue muy, muy parche, sí.
Eso fue muy bien, me acuerdo.
Me acuerdo que hiciste.
Sí, sí, sí.
Pero, así, eso fue todo lo que puedo hablar con mi experiencia de carnaval.
Porque no creo que haya uno cuando empezé con Williams.
Y Brabham no tenía mucho dinero, así que eso no sucedió.
No, no.
Así que no, no.
Así que sólo ha hecho Jordan, pero...
Se ha hecho un avión, a punto en el que...
Sí.
Se ha hecho una competición, ¿no?
Entonces, quién es el más grande avión?
Pero, no se ha controlado, ¿no?
Mi Claren.
¿Qué pasó ahí?
¿Puedes recordar?
Spice Girls.
Oh, sí.
Spice Girls.
Así que eso no fue Rebel, no.
No, eso fue mi Claren.
Así que eso fue Mica.
Mica, DC.
Eso fue 98, 99.
¿Eso fue Albert Hall?
No sé dónde fue.
No, creo que fue en un hotel en Londres.
En El Hilton o algo así.
No estoy seguro de qué fue.
Sí, pero eso fue...
Bueno, si alguien puede recordar,
si hay intereses,
sus favoritos aviones,
sus aviones,
sus caras de Formula One,
de pasado,
tenemos que recordar.
Tenemos que verlos también.
Sí, tenemos que verlos también.
Pero, sí,
hemos still got to see a few more,
I mean,
the liveries that are coming out at the moment,
there's people,
the fans are responding,
you know,
the Ferrari one got a little bit of a kickback,
didn't it,
because it's too much blue
with the Hewlett-Packard on it.
Sí.
I would say for your Hewlett-Packard,
he was delighted,
because everyone's talking about Hewlett-Packard.
Exactamente.
Well, it's worked.
That's the whole point.
Yes, exactly.
So, it's going to be interesting,
you know,
how the whole build up,
do you remember the build up to a certain event?
I remember doing one with Michael,
actually,
when we were at Benetton.
And we spent almost like a competition
who could stretch the most
prior to it.
It was, yeah.
Well, Michael was into his fitness.
He was very flexible.
Very flexible.
So, I thought,
well, I'll do a little bit of flexing
while we're doing it as well.
I think it pissed him off.
When you say flexing,
what do you do?
Stretching,
giving it all the touching.
Touching your toes.
How exciting.
How exciting.
Doing everything.
Yes,
but that was classic,
what Michael,
Michael was always about.
He was like...
So,
you outstretched Michael Schumacher.
No, I think he outstretched me.
No, I'd never outstretched him.
I just annoyed him.
I think it was.
You should have taken him on.
You should have known better.
So,
whatever you do,
he's going to beat you.
That was it.
Yeah,
waiting just for the thing.
So, you're waiting.
Yeah, exactly.
Just loading and waiting around.
And you can see as well,
because the race team
and the test team,
they're all itching to get going,
getting the car on the track.
And they can't,
because they're going to take
more photographs of the car.
And the drivers have to pose
with that overalls
and the helmet
and endless stuff
that you have to do.
It's not what you signed up for
when you wanted to be a racing driver.
But anyway, it's part of the deal.
It's part of the deal.
The sponsors are paying for that.
The best ones,
I think were the ones
that were done at launched
in a garage
about two minutes
before the car
actually went on track.
That was a William Lewis.
That was a William Lewis.
Exactly.
You got two minutes.
Get your cameras out.
Yeah, exactly.
Click, click, click.
And off we go.
But anyway,
I like the
I like the
Haas one.
It's quite racy.
I thought it's got
it's very strong graphics on it.
Simple.
But this is where you get
people starting to get,
you know,
they remember the
John player Lotus,
you know,
and then you get into this discussion about
how good they look,
how good the livery looks
and whether they like
the look of the car.
And that's
really not on your mind
it's a racing driver, is it?
I mean, you come out.
I mean,
Nikkie Lauda was asked,
you know,
what's the most beautiful
F1 car?
And he said the one that wins
is the one
I don't care
what car it is
and what it looks like.
And what it looks like.
So you're on a slightly
different agenda
as a driver.
No, but then manufacturers
have a different agenda,
you know,
but the one that I thought
was just out of control
was when I was at Jaguar.
So we did all the testing
in Hereth, I think it was.
And I do remember
we took all the fuel out
because we weren't very quick.
We had a lot of problems.
We weren't going quick
with no fuel in it.
In the, in the, in the oil.
Ha, ha, ha.
Yes.
Low fuel.
I just thought of pointing that out.
Yes, I know.
Maybe that's why
you were going wrong.
That's why I kept stopping.
That's why we had problems
with the oil
with the baffles in the,
in the bumper.
Anyway,
so to get it,
we ended up one and two
at the end of that test.
Wonderful Jaguar
coming in first race in Melbourne.
I think I was only able to do
one and a half laps
before the thing cut out
because it run out of fuel.
Ha, ha, ha.
And we arrived
and some people say
this is a bit odd,
but they sprayed the grass
green all the way through Melbourne.
Yes, grass is green.
I know, but in Melbourne
it's not all green.
It's not green enough.
It'll be brown sometime.
So they sprayed everything.
I think the trams were green
as well.
What?
Yeah, it was mad.
Oh, isn't that their color,
isn't that Victoria's,
in Melbourne,
it's their color, isn't it?
Isn't it the,
aren't they,
I better be careful about this.
I don't know.
But it was a Jaguar green.
Okay.
And a member at night.
A member of the old bat light.
Oh, Batman used to put
sort of a bat up into the sky.
Oh yeah, so I just projected
onto the clouds.
I don't know.
Well, it was a cat.
Oh, right.
And it went all the way through the night.
Just sort of going around it.
It was, yes.
That's spectacular.
Spectacular, spectacular.
And to make it more spectacular,
I never actually got to the grid
for the race on the Sunday.
So they did this whole
Good thing they did the launch.
Bigging it all up.
Oh, bigging it up.
This is like you were saying,
make it all flash
and everybody's going,
yeah, this is it.
This is it.
And then it's falling flat
on its face
in a big way.
So you've got to be very careful
sometimes as well,
that you don't,
hoist yourself by your own patar.
Yes.
Exacto.
We are going to win races.
We are going to beat everybody else.
Do you know what that means?
I think this is what it means.
The patar is the thing
that protects your dagger.
Right.
And when you go to pull it out,
the sword doesn't come out.
So you pull the whole thing
when you're kind of hoisting.
That's what it means.
Okay.
It makes you look very silly.
What has this got to do
with hoisting?
Well, I just used the phrase
hoisting by your own patar.
So I just thought it would be
a bit of educational stuff there.
Thank you very much.
I appreciate that.
I wouldn't count on that explanation.
I'd look it up on Wikipedia
just to be sure.
I'm not going to bother.
I'm not going to bother.
So there is a lot of falling flat
on your face
because you've made a big noise
and a big, you know,
yeah, hoohar
about the bubble four,
the build up.
Yes.
And what matters is
whether the bloody thing's
quick or not.
Yes.
That's all.
And also, so you know,
testing what happens
after all the testing is done.
Yeah.
When I say all the testing,
it's such limited testing
compared to what we used to do.
Because we'd be testing
before Christmas.
Yes.
And we'd be testing throughout
the winter.
Well, the season ended
in October.
I think, isn't it?
Yeah, it did October
and we, as you say,
we were literally finishing
the last race
and then two days later
could have been at Silverstone
or Spain or something
doing the testing
all the way up to Christmas.
Yeah.
And then so the point I'm
making is that
the testing results,
what they do is they cover
the days
and then you know
who's quickest
and all the rest of it
and then sometimes you get
unexpected people are very quick
and with the possible
exception of Ross Braun,
you know, the Braun team
that year,
it's nearly always wrong.
I mean, by miles, isn't it?
I mean, you suddenly see
teams you don't expect
to be looking really competitive
in winter testing
get to the first race.
We were one and two
but we weren't.
Anyway, near it.
So,
viewers,
listeners,
beware,
do not
at the first
race
you'll seen
because if you're quick,
which is what we used
to do with Williams,
we knew he had advantage.
We'd always run with 60 kilos
of fuel in the car
to slow us down to me.
Because we were on fumes.
Well, we figured
it was because we had
pitchers.
We thought they're
right.
No, no, no,
no, but you're right.
But certain people I remember
Tom walking show that used
en la testa también. Sí, se puso en Joss Verstappen, para hacer una lera requalificada.
¡Es absoluto!
Sí, bien, pero no fue.
Los culprits de esto fueron, como dices, Tom Walker...
Tom Walker...
Tom Walker...
...con arroz.
Con arroz.
Con Jordan también.
Hemos de poner un tiempo para el show.
¡No lo haces!
Porque estás mirando a un idiota.
Cuando llegas a la ruta y no estás rápido.
Sí.
Pero lo hacen porque los sponsoros quieren un arp-lift.
Ellos quieren tener algo que ellos puedan llorar.
Y Ferraria también está bien haciendo esto.
Parece que me parece.
Se siente la presión de...
...tener un tiempo de lap.
O sea, creo que Red Bull es muy bueno...
...para mantener el arp-lift correcto.
Y no mostrar la mano.
Una cosa interesante.
Hemos hablado sobre...
Hemos terminado nuestro año en octubre.
Hemos estado testando todo el camino hasta diciembre.
Pero ahora mismo,
Hemos, ¿qué?
150 lapos a día.
Algunas.
Algunas caras.
Es increíble.
Es increíble lo que hacen.
Hemos tenido la frecuencia para hacer lo que queremos.
Pero era entre 40 y 80.
80 fue bastante.
Y entonces 100.
Bueno, eso fue un gran...
Es un gran día.
Es un gran día, sí.
Y Linnette se veía en el final de eso.
Sí, sí, sí.
Pero hicimos...
Y hicimos 10 días en trot.
En Barcelona.
Sí.
En Estrella.
Yo creo que 4.
Hemos tenido algo que llamamos la Tienes de la Guerra.
Hemos tenido que tener nuevas acciones.
Y entonces las personas que ya estuvieron,
habrían medias.
Porque hicieron toda la semana testando.
Sí.
Y era dorado hasta el dusc.
Y yo literalmente significa dusc.
No era dorado hasta el tiempo de la noche.
Porque con Renault,
tenían el circuito por recarga.
Bueno, tenían el circuito.
Sí.
Y tenían un garage en el sur de atrás.
Así que tenían una testa exclusiva
con desarrollar el vehículo.
Y pudieron testar a cualquier momento.
Así que, incluso cuando estuvo muy oscuro,
ellos me enviaban y decían,
¿puedo hacer un poco de lápiz?
¡Es oscuro!
¡No tengo ni lápizes!
Y ellos me dijeron,
bueno, solo necesitamos un poco de data para el vehículo.
Y yo iba.
Y sería increíble.
Porque tuvimos skid plates.
En los brazos de la frontera.
Sí.
Titanium skid plates.
Y ellos creían estos espacios.
Y todo empezó a acelerar.
Muy bien.
Con estos oscuros blocos.
¡Es increíble!
Sí.
Era como si estuviera en un metro.
Era extraordinario.
Inacăzados despas tiempo.
Donde tenía que capturar.
¡Uni!
àyn.
A partir de este momento,
yo fue muy�심ado tribal.
Y entonces estaba bien.
Ya se sinusorio.
Lo ha nasal hecho muy bien.
Y esperé que la injera saliera de atrás de donde estaba.
glutenado col April,
oado alón,
porque la on salad lo Liang.
Lo salí degraph.
Y esto se edifico,
al final.
Me gustó muy Psal variant.
¡Oh, Dios mío! ¿Qué ha ocurrido?
Sí.
Pero es solo el oil, el enjuño, que no ha roto.
Es espectacular.

Peace of mind for parents.
La razón por la que solo hicimos no tan many laps,
40, 50 laps, 60 laps, probablemente
más de la hora, fue porque de eso,
porque no fueron relajables.
No fueron relajables.
No fueron relajables.
Cuando ahora, ellos justifican...
Entonces, te vas a estar encendiendo por horas.
¿No te gustas como estos?
Exactamente, sí.
Pero creo que esto es una fecha jaffa.
Es una fecha jaffa.
Una alternativa.
Pero, el hecho de que estés encendido,
no sabía cuándo irás.
Tienes que estar ahí.
Estás tirando la caja.
Estás listo de tener un problema,
etcétera.
Puedes esperar un poco,
y luego vas a hacer un lap.
Tuve un problema.
Tuve que parar.
Y entonces, no sabes qué están haciendo.
Están enfriando por horas.
Estás enfriando por los dedos de la cabeza,
¿no?
Estás cansado.
Y luego vas a ir y tener otra biscuita
en la caja de tí.
Hablas con el truque.
Sí.
Sí, todo eso.
¿Habas hecho un test
en el que hiciste absolutamente nada?
Sí.
Hací.
Hace mucho tiempo, ¿no?
Fue en el hotel.
Sí, los arrozes no eran muy relajables.
Sí.
Y...
Hemos perdido mucho tiempo,
no irse a nadie.
Y se arruinó.
Creo que se arruinó todos los días
durante un poco.
Y al punto en el que pensé,
estoy perdiendo mucho tiempo.
Hací en Barcelona.
Hací en Granola,
que es la ciudad de la ronda.
Hací una guitarra en la caja de guitarra.
Cuando volví a la moto,
pensé que...
¡Puedo jugar un poco!
Bueno, mi guitarra me ha mejorado,
pero los lap-times no lo hicieron.
¿Una cosa popular en la caja?
Bueno, no lo hice.
No, lo hice en la moto.
¿Qué hiciste ahí con el equipo?
Creo que se sentía mal.
Probablemente hubiera hecho eso.
Pero de alguna manera.
No me perdí tiempo.
No, no.
Hací visitar y hacer un 9-hole golf
y un 1-test también.
Se me dijo,
no iba a pasar el resto del día.
Yo pensé, bien, estoy listo.
Sí.
¿Qué es eso?
O sea, siendo en un rastro,
pero nada está pasando.
Tocando es lo peor.
En el carro, es genial,
porque puedes...
puedes mejorar tu técnica,
o lo que sea,
no, no, no.
Yo siempre intenté mejorar.
Sí.
Experimentar.
Sí, exactamente.
Y eso, creo, es una gran diferencia
entre ahora y después.
Porque creo que ahora,
es un ambiente completamente controlado
y es un test de data colección
en el final del día.
¿Tienes que irme ahí
y tener un poco de divertimiento?
¡Oh, claro!
Sí.
Y a veces yo...
No puedo tener eso más.
A veces yo...
No, eso no existe.
Tengo que irme al 9-hole.
¡Jajaja!
¡Jajaja!
¡Jajaja!
¡Jajaja!
¿No te humumes sonriminoco?
No me sucho.
¡No puedo irme al 9-holeLike alguien masih!
продo un чиike,
oding el Ximena better que el 9-hole.
¡Ten Landing Island!
Sí.
O sea, a veces aquí me dicen
entonces es como blanco
Y era muy burco.
A veces,
yo soy el benchmark,
pero he intentado diferentes estilos,
y creo que ahora,
es lo que 때문에
cada una de las cosas que estás haciendo.
Probablemente estaría mirando mis días y diciéndole,
¿qué estás haciendo?
¿Puedes dejar de hacer eso?
Totalmente, sí.
No.
Quiero intentar hacer diferentes cosas diferentes.
Pero eso es donde es diferente.
Porque creo que están tolidos en un cierto camino,
porque es la forma en que se acuerdan los carros y las aerodinámicas
y los aerodinámicos y el balance del carro.
Así que creo que es muy diferente,
pero tuvimos esa frecuencia para hacer eso.
Pero estuvimos muy importantes en ese test,
así que no, porque éramos el computador.
La data, después, fue muy pequeña en muchos aspectos.
Hubo similatos, trotos,
estiros, brazos, presión,
pgp, etc.
Exacto.
Y eso fue todo.
Entonces, ¿cuál era el...
No tuviste temperatura tie-up.
No tuviste temperatura tie-up dinámica, ¿no?
No.
No hay sim.
Entonces, no hay data de volver a las facturas.
Me interesa.
Es muy diferente.
Creo que no sé si hay carros de F1,
o carros de reserva,
o si les escuchan a nosotros, Johnny,
pero si les gustaría desafiarnos
en la impresión de lo que están haciendo
y lo que están haciendo cuando están testando,
entonces me gustaría escuchar de ellos.
Sí.
Porque creo que tuvimos la frecuencia para jugar.
Y lo aprendí mucho de eso cuando estaba dirigiendo.
Agree.
Y ahora, no sé si...
No sé qué posición hay.
Me parece que Fernando
probablemente puede hacer lo que le gusta.
Pero los carros más jóvenes
probablemente están siguiendo
las instrucciones del equipo.
No sé.
Sí, sí.
Pero, como dije, creo que es un programa.
Es un programa que tienen que extender
para asegurar que llegan el día correcto
para que puedan analizar,
para que then improve el carro.
Si pueden, antes van a la primera fase.
¿Tenían que, a veces,
cuando estuvieras haciendo un largo ron
y te estuvieras exhalado
y te estás cansado porque has estado testando mucho?
¿Estás muy contenta cuando se rompió?
Sí.
Es una admisión.
Bueno, no.
Bueno, yo estaba contenta.
Se rompió, porque se rompió muy lentamente.
Así que era casi como...
No sé el punto de ir a la ronda
y de ir a la ronda,
porque somos un hombre que no lo sé.
Y yo hago una cosa.
Y fue durante un año.
Pero cuando estaba en Lotus
y estaba muy sabroso,
a la final del año,
que llegó hasta el final,
a la final del 94.
Hemos hecho Portugal.
Y entonces hay un test de cuatro días.
Creo que dos días después de la tercera.
Entonces, a la tercera de la frontera.
Y nosotros fuimos a la ronda
tres y medio días en el lugar no hay lugar.
Absolutamente no hay lugar.
Y te vas a enfadar.
Porque estás más bajo que lo que hiciste
en la ronda de la ronda.
Que ya se ha ido.
Te han mejorado.
Y te dices, esto es maravilloso.
Y yo lo dije a la mitad de la ronda.
Vamos, pues,
porque nos fuimos muy bien en Monza.
Como se recuerda,
la ronda de la ronda.
No me lembro.
No me lembro.
Pero gracias por la ronda.
Yo estoy justo detrás de ti.
No, en realidad,
yo creo que te voy a pasar.
Si me recuerda,
ya me he hecho.
No me lembro de esas cosas.
No, no lo hiciste.
Porque es clásico.
Exactamente.
Bueno,
déjame mirar.
Porque lo hice.
Voy a mirar.
Yo lo hice.
Me tomé muchos años para hacer esto,
pero solo lastió 200 metros.
Bueno,
vamos a volver a ese test.
Entonces dije,
vamos a poner los dedos en la ronda.
Y si no me pensé,
te estaría muy bien.
Loopi,
es un medio,
un medio de la ronda.
Un medio de la ronda en Portugal.
Entonces, lo hicimos.
Lo hicimos 1,5 segundos más rápido
que lo hicimos todo los tres días.
Y esa era tu idea.
Bueno, era mi idea,
pero era una idea muy estúpida,
porque la más desgraciada
nos daba más velocidad,
pero no,
porque era tan dragosa.
Yo no hubiera
cambiado por la ronda,
pero era como una roca absoluta,
en la ronda.
Entonces,
hicimos asumptuos erroneos
sobre su carro.
Bueno, no era como un carro.
Bueno,
eso es lo importante.
Bueno, eso es lo importante.
Ahí está.
Sí.
Eso es lo que siempre debería ser.
Pero,
no, es fascinante
tener la oportunidad de testar.
O sea,
pero entonces,
como yo tenía más experiencia
y yo hice un montón de testar
hacia el final,
yo pensé,
¿qué es el punto?
Porque, como dices,
muchos de ellos
fueron justos en la ronda.
Sí, justos en la ronda.
Con un rubro.
Sí.
Y el fuel.
Sí.
Y no realmente irse de alguna manera,
porque tú estuviste allí antes
con algunas de las cosas.
Y eso fue cuando me empezó
a testar con William.
Nigel no quería hacer el testar.
Él ha hecho muchos testar.
Él sabía lo que era.
Entonces,
Él tendría que ir a la ronda.
Él tendría que ir a la ronda.
Sí.
Y
y entonces,
él tendría que ir a la ronda
por medio día.
Sí.
Y hay muchas presas
y él estaría haciendo un gran show
y él viene y va a tirar el carro,
completamente arreglar el carro
hasta que fue,
sabes,
en sus las puertas.
Y él iría a la ronda
y va,
sabes,
es bien,
sabes,
pero,
sabes,
y él habló de la bierna.
Desgraciada de la bierna.
Era una impresión muy mala.
Yo pensé que era muy malo.
Pero,
de todas maneras,
él vino y justo
justo salió y salió.
Dice,
sí,
es ok.
Porque él sabía que
lo que hacen
es probar el tiempo de la ronda.
Sí.
Es ok.
Es interesante para los ingenieros.
El tiempo de la ronda.
Sí.
Pero...
Es raro.
Bueno,
yo creo,
yo creo que la ronda
es,
lo que hacen,
mucho tiempo,
es justo testar los sistemas.
Sí.
Entonces,
verán si la temperatura de el oil
y la bierna es buena
y pueden,
monitorar
cosas que van a
hacer.
Hay techs,
lo hicimos.
Hay techs.
Y,
lo que el conductor hace,
es realmente justo,
fiddling
con
cosas en las puertas,
como,
sabes,
la ronda de la ronda,
y,
sabes,
en la ronda de la ronda de la ronda de la ronda.
Ellos son justos de la ronda de la ronda de la ronda.
Y...
Sí.
Pero,
porque yo me acuerdo que
hicimos un día
un día오�
ர.
Sí.
Se dirigieron
dos meses
det corporations
==
es de
mucho tiempo.
E laboratory.
Eso es muy interesantísimo.
Es muy basso.
Te les dices?
Ther...
¿Qué hiciste?
Te sternamos
bien.
Sí.
Estaba pasando todo el día, todo el día, para la última semana.
La traca está en un estado diferente de cuando regresas en julio o algo así.
¿Te recuerdas su rato cuando fuimos testinando su rato en el winter?
Y el mañana estaba muy rápido, muy rápido.
Todo lo que llamaba, la traca estaba vivo y los niveles de gripe fueron masivos.
Y en el medio del día, fue un gran cajón y...
Un sonido.
Un sonido, exactamente.
Y fue un problema, un gran problema.
Y luego, sobre 3.30, algo así.
3.30, está bien y chile.
¡Es mega rápido!
¡Es mega rápido!
Pero luego regresas a la traca, y hay una diferencia de 25 grados de rato.
Así que estás correcto.
El cambio fue enorme y fue como poder mantener el cambio.
Era muy diferente.
Así que puedes jugar con la traca, realmente, en testinamiento.
No era realmente una medida muy buena.
¿Qué aprendiste como un conductor, el tipo de cosas que puedes jugar con?
Y las cosas que pudieras aprender sobre el toolbox que tuvieras, cuando fuiste a un rato,
y que pudieras entonces ajustar cosas y obtener una respuesta de una manera o de otra,
para que pudieras poner el rato.
Y eso fue una buena educación.
Pero cuando aprendiste mucho de eso, fue muy precioso, justamente.
Voy a decir, testinamiento de rato.
Ahora, lo hiciste.
Cuídame sobre testinamiento de rato en Japón.
¡Oh, testinamiento de rato en Japón!
Bueno, sí, cuando yo fué en Fulu, en Nippo.
Y yo hice un poco con el tipo de Tire de Bridgestone, antes de que llegue a F1.
Pero el tipo de Nippo fue todo sobre la performance del Tire.
Y lo que realmente cambió casi todos los sesiones que fuiste.
Fue siempre una nueva Tire, con una nueva construcción,
pero con una nueva, suave Tire que sería muy buena, muy buena, muy buena.
Muy bueno, muy blanco en ese rato.
Y sería esto, una cantidad increíble de Tire de desarrollo, que fue lanzada en cada rato.
Y el rato, solo rato.
Pero no se fitó con el set de Tire.
No, se lo pusieron solo en el rato, solo en el rato, solo en el rato.
En el rato, para hacerlo mejor.
Completely diferente de lo que estaba diciendo.
Sí, completamente diferente de lo que estaba haciendo.
Y lo que me interesó muy, cuando hicimos el F1,
fue donde era, ¿qué?
McLaren, Williams, Ferrari, y ahí es Bobbi Throw Benetton en los años 90,
donde tú eras el equipo que, buen año,
trabajó en desarrollar el carro, porque tú tenías la mayor fuerza.
Entonces, necesitas tener el más estrés en el Tire,
pero eres el más rápido equipo de ahí.
Sí, y eso fue el problema para todos, más allá del rato.
Entonces, se desarrolló el Tire, obviamente,
para los equipos que puso el más alto y trabajó el Tire.
Entonces, el Tire fue diseñado para los chicos en la frontera.
Sí, lo sé.
Y los chicos en el rato, pero a más de eso,
intenté llevar el Tire a trabajo.
Sí, intenté trabajar, sí.
Y lo más grande de eso, para mí,
cuando era más alto, lo recuerdo,
fue donde qualificado,
nunca habría podido usar el Tire,
porque no lo pusimos en el rato,
para llevar el Tire a la frontera,
que tú fuiste capaz de hacer.
¿Puedes intentar más alto?
¡Ah!
No, esto es donde cambió.
¡No!
Yo estaba esperando.
Yo estaba esperando para que el sábado llegue.
Porque no fuimos abusando el Tire.
Así que, en realidad, el Tire estaría más largo,
realmente, que tú lo hicieras,
para que pudieras hacer más alto para más tiempo.
Pero, entonces, fuimos más cerca.
Entonces, era como, no sé,
un segundo y medio, dos segundos más alto,
en qualificaciones,
no sabía qué diferencia que hubo en los días.
Pero tuviste más tiempo,
así como tener el Tire más alto.
Sí, así que sí.
Pero tuvimos dos segundos,
y luego terminamos siendo,
así como, seis décimas más alto,
porque pudimos, así como,
llevar el Tire más cuidadosamente,
solo porque el Tire no pusiera el Tire de alguna manera.
Pero, pura velocidad,
nunca hubiéramos podido competir conmigo,
porque nunca tuvimos la fuerza que estaba ahí.
Entonces, de nuevo, era muy, muy diferente,
porque yo recuerdo una sesión de qualificaciones,
no era ahí,
era en los años ocho,
en la época del turbo.
Y yo creo que era en Hockenheim.
Y hubo 12 segundos,
desde la frontera,
o el gris,
a la parte de la gris.
Era una maldición.
¿Sabes?
¡Estamos completamente en el mundo!
Bueno, es ahora,
es ahora, un segundo,
un segundo,
desde arriba a abajo.
¡No creo que sea diferente!
Bueno, era el último año.
¡Sí!
No sabemos dónde va a ser.
¡No!
Bueno, ok,
hay un reto.
¿Qué es el spread?
¡Oh!
Desde arriba a abajo.
Así que, el primer,
el primer, el primer.
Entonces, no es el cualificado
el top 10,
porque tienes que llevarlo
desde la primera sesión.
¡Sí!
¡Sí!
No todo el mundo está muerto,
pero vamos a decir,
Q1.
1.3
¡1.3!
¡Sí!
¡Me gusta!
¡Tiene una gran diferencia desde arriba a abajo!
1.3
¡1.2!
Bueno, voy a decir,
1.8
¡Jajajaja!
Ok?
Creo que va a ser bastante...
¡Muchas gracias!
¿Tienes una penita?
Bueno, no importa,
es recordar.
Entonces, vamos,
vamos a volver a eso.
1.3
Australia
Q1
¿Qué es el reto frontal?
Q1
Delta
¡Hasta la hora!
¡Perfecto!
Bueno,
espero que nos haya dado
nuestros escuchadores
alguna idea de lo que
el test está haciendo
y lo que puede ser.
¡Sí!
Y
no sé,
los colegios no les gusta el test anymore,
les gusta o no les gusta.
Bueno,
una cosa que es diferente,
nuevas regulaciones.
Entonces,
eso hace una gran diferencia...
Se han hecho mucho a lo largo.
Se han hecho mucho a lo largo.
Entonces, la base va a ser
jugar
con las opciones.
¡Sí!
Y intentando...
¿Leerle como lo dices sobre el toolbox?
¡Sí!
Este es el nuevo toolbox
que tienen que trabajar
lo que necesitan usar.
¡Sí!
Es realmente going to be
interesting,
esta nueva regulación,
creo.
Creo que va a ser
vamos a estar grabando sus caballos también.
Entonces, alguien va a
trabajar más tarde que los demás.
¡De supuesto!
Es lo que son los trick,
lo que son las opciones.
¡Sí!
Con estos,
actores activos.
Actores activos que tienen.
¿Habéis visto la aceleración?
¡Sí!
La aceleración versus el año pasado.
¡Sí!
¡Es increíble!
¡Sí!
Porque van a salir de las calles.
¡Es como si tuvieran un cajón de hockonheim!
¡Sí!
Para todo el éxito de cada corner.
¡Sí!
Y me gusta eso, personalmente.
Creo que eso es lo bueno.
Todo el mundo está en el mismo cajón.
Y creo que el cajón
es probablemente un poco más vivo.
¿Dónde vemos la aceleración?
Probablemente no mucho.
Pero en el cajón,
va a ser muy bonito.
¿Vas a sentir la aceleración?
Porque no vas a...
Sí.
Pero,
va a ser un poco más de motocicleta,
porque se aceleran muy rápido.
No tienen ningún cajón.
¡No!
Nuestra comparación.
¡Sí!
Entonces, cuando se aceleran el cajón,
todos los caballos
acelerarán muy rápido.
¡Sí!
¡Sí!
¿Me recuerda cuando íbamos
de hockonheim a Hungry?
¡ street alone!
¡Sí!
¡Sí!
¡No, no!
Es muy increíble.
Nos íbamos la otra theta Patient.
Hockonheim fina el orden y
de combustión de combustión y batería.
Eso va a ser algo para el descuelso de la batería,
la desplazamiento de la batería también.
Eso va a ser algo para el desplazamiento de la batería.
Charging it up and deploying it.
Yes, and it's how the driver does it.
How hot is those things going to get?
Because they're dumping a lot of energy.
Yeah, massive.
And then absorbing a lot of energy.
Yeah.
It's going to be quite a engineering test, for sure.
Kilowatts going around the place.
Well, hopefully it doesn't feed into the cockpit.
No, no.
It will be hell on earth.
That would be the case.
That would be very, very, very bad.
But they're going to have to try and work out a way of keeping that.
What is coolness now?
You know they've got sort of fluids in there
that will keep the batches cool,
but that sometimes is not quite enough.
You've got to get it out.
There's a heavy old lump.
I mean, you've got two heavy lumps now.
You've got the engine, then you've got the battery.
Yeah, and a huge battery pack.
So there's a huge battery pack.
So the chassis is going to have to be very strong around
to keep that in a safe.
It's the integrity of that.
And accident's going to be...
I think nowadays that's...
It's so advanced now, yeah, so advanced.
It's compared to our day, compared to our day, for sure.
So, yeah, it's going to be interesting to see what, you know,
what we see when we get to the first race.
We'll learn a lot.
We'll have a lot of information to digest and...
And what's the word?
Digest.
And learn and understand and deconstruct.
And anyway, we've got...
Our brain's going to be fried.
And social media is a major driver.

You were telling me, Johnny,
when we were having a biscuit about things
that made an amazing difference
that you could do in testing
that completely surprised everyone
and was a shocking, you know,
massive step forward.
Yeah, and I remember in 1988
it was the test in the Lotus at Mons,
on the week before I had my crescent brand
and the old one.
And it was amazing.
I had a very good experience
in the test at Mons.
y Aja knew he had come up with what they were called the Curly Whirlies, so lying a modern day for one car now you've got the end plate and it's just literally a square little end plate, rectangular end plate and these little bits on it, but then it went from that and it was one meter that this thing came out at the end of the end plate, it went in between the chassis under the, through the suspension on the inside of the wheel and it sort of twisted and it ended at the end of the end plate.
The back end of the tyre, everyone would have been looking at it, Aja knew it, obviously done it in the march and we put it on, it went one and a half seconds faster and it's one of those feelings.
Just a front winning end plate mod.
Yes, that's all it was and it was one and a half seconds, one of those things you turned in, you know, it's like you turn in some time and you get a little bit of a Porsche, a bit of a understeer or maybe there's a little bit of an oversteer on the exit, whatever it may be.
But you turned in and it literally went down, it went through the mid-corner, it got to the exit and it was unbelievable, but that was the period where changes were, you could do anything you wanted.
Yeah.
You were free to do anything you wanted and that's where the times were big.
Now we're talking about what, thousands of a second improvement.
Yeah, the regs have made it more difficult for someone to come up with something like that.
Yeah, but I found that so interesting.
Well, I have the other end of that story, which is after Imla, when they decided to slow the cars down, they cut them off.
They did.
And so we had to do the test where I drove with those curly whirlies.
What they did was they stopped the wake from the front wheels when you put lock on the car going under the car and disturbing the downfall.
So basically you suddenly got clean air going under the car and the car stuck.
Anyway, they cut them off.
We're suddenly now understeering all over the place.
And also one thing I noted was I couldn't get close to a car in front.
I realized that with any bit of disturbance from a car just down the road, suddenly now I'm getting more understeer.
And so I brought this up with some people who were on the F1 committee, designing committee and stuff.
Anyway, they didn't think what I was saying was particularly valid because I was the only racing driver, not an aerodynamicist.
But you know, I've long held the view that if they carried on with those things, you would be able to race a car much more closely through the corners.
But as I said, I don't have the maths to prove it.
I don't have the maths, but I would take the front wings off.
We have the evidence. We have the evidence of what you just told me the first after it, which is you've immediately made a difference the way the car fell.
And you go the other way.
And I was on the receiving end of the other end where they took them off and it made it worse.
And ever since then they've been trying to get it back.
But that's another story.
But one other thing we discovered, which was talking to Paddy Lowe because I did the development of traction control.
And what the traction control does is when you put your foot down, it cuts some of the engine.
So you don't get the power.
Has it cut the engine?
Well, it sees wheel speed.
So if the wheel starts to overspeed, in other words, you're losing grip with power going through the rear wheels.
It would cut the engine.
So it reduced the power.
Yeah, through the cylinders.
So it sounds like the engine's misfiring, which it is.
And so I tried this.
I mean, oh, that doesn't feel very good because I like to spin the wheels and drive the car.
And that didn't feel very good.
And Paddy said, yeah, well, you're a second lap quicker.
Just like that, traction control.
And my response to it was worse.
But the data says different.
So yeah.
I've got a good story on that as well, then, when I had Lotus, when we had traction control,
we basically had a little Moog valve.
And then it was all little sort of connectors that went then to the throttle, let's say.
And it was like a machine gun.
So when it started to read the speed, it would go...
What, cutting the engine?
No, it was cutting the throttle.
It was doing the throttle.
We didn't have the budget to cut the engines.
Ford were a little bit more in those days because we were not cutting it because it damaged it as well.
So we had to find another way.
So we did it through a little Moog valve.
And did the pedal actually move?
No, it was all sort of happening behind.
Yes, it was awful.
It just never ever worked.
We switched it off for qualifying.
And we sort of turned it on a little bit for the race because it was a little bit more consistent from that point of view.
The way you were saying, with cutting it within the cylinders and having a misfire, effectively,
is a much smoother way of doing it.
And as you say, it felt worse.
But it was fun that you get from it.
Playing with those extreme options, always fun.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You can go on.
Because I remember the active cars.
I thoroughly enjoyed that.
There were just thousands of different setups that you could come with.
So we can go on, but maybe bring this up another time.
Talking about good old days.
Yeah, well, yeah, it's a big subject.
What you can do with a racing car.
But they're going to be playing with a new set of regulations.
They're 26 regulations now.
So good luck to them for that.
And we'll be learning what they get up to throughout the season.
New Rex, I always thought it gave some teams an opportunity
to get themselves at the front of the pack.
Do you think this is an opportunity this year
for some teams to be able to be more competitive?
There's two ways, I think, that you can break this down.
One is that there's clearly a kind of technical challenge.
I've just seen that Honda, Watanabe, is saying that maybe we'll struggle.
So he's already hedging.
Building this power unit and getting it to work is going to be a problem.
Everyone's talking up.
I saw Helmut Marcos saying something to the effect of,
I think a Mercedes is going to win.
So they're very quiet and they seem quite confident.
But that's the technical side of it.
Well, then it's the racing.
And there's a good quote from Esteban saying that they're going to have to forget everything
they've learned as racing drivers since karting.
In other words, this is a completely different discipline.
Obviously, the driving the car is one thing,
but having to make this work and learning to drive the car with flappy wings
and approaching the strategy of racing per lap,
how you utilize these options that you have,
is going to be a head scratcher.
And the person that works that out is going to be,
presumably, the cleverest drivers
who can see that there's a way to make this work.
Yeah, because the only thing that they've been having to do during a race sometimes,
because the way the strategy works
and there's always a safety car that sort of comes into that strategy
and they sort of are right on the border of the fuel.
And sometimes if that safety car doesn't come out,
they have to ease off and do a bit of lift and coasting to save the fuel.
But that's not going to be the case
because the battery depletion is going to be a really huge test for the drivers.
The engineers as well, but for the drivers.
B, as you say, a big shift.
Yeah, and also I'm a bit worried about how they manage this
when they're having to recharge the infrastructure.
Because if you're slip dreaming a car and it suddenly starts to load up,
they used to have the flashing light when they were charging.
But now they kind of have this,
the thing where actually they'll all be doing it.
So we can get some disparity of speed at towards the end of the straight
between people because they have to charge their batteries.
You wonder whether they're going to do something like
make the engine almost literally just a charging device for the battery.
Yeah, so it's going to shift.
So that's where it's going to be where, as you say,
some teams are alluding to having a few issues trying to get the whole package.
So the energy output from the ice will be just literally laboring
to charge up the battery.
So they've got the battery.
Enough options and not enough charge left in this.
It's going to be so interesting and very confusing.
I think from us outside to watch it.
I know that F1 will be giving us all the graphics
and we'll be able to see what state the car is in.
But it is going to be interesting trying to get to learn this
from the outside watching.
I think the drivers as well, it's slightly different again
because our testing sort of went on for so long.
But they've got what, nine days testing
so they've probably got almost four days each,
more or less, where that's all they've got
before they go to the first race.
They've got to be switched on straight away, now.
So they've only got one car.
So for a lot of the time one drive drives
so the drivers themselves aren't getting two weeks of testing.
They may, and if they have problems,
they might not get any testing.
Any testing, absolutely, which has happened in the past.
So you go straight in completely cold.
That was sort of what it was like with arrows.
They just hardly got any lapsing at all before I went to Melbourne.
The first part of this season is going to be,
there's going to be a few people that have tripped up
and are going in completely blind.
But then we've seen it before where teams have had
a dreadful winter testing.
Then going to the first race and it all worked
and held together.
There's a question.
When you did your first laps in a new car, new Rawls,
did you know if it was good or not?
Did you go, oh, this feels awful.
Or, wow, there's something about this one.
Do you ever remember that happening?
No, the championship car, the FW18.
I jumped in, I just knew that was a great car.
It was just immediately fantastic.
It was so, it responded to everything you did.
And you knew you were going to love driving this car.
Another two cars you get in, particularly I'm thinking about
when they went to the groove tyre regulations.
It wasn't the car, it was the bloody regulations.
You know, these groove tyres that they came up with,
which was Max's idea, Max's most least idea.
Terrible idea, awful idea.
It was the worst mistake, I think, that they made.
It made driving so unpleasant that I wanted to go home.
And I often did.
It was horrible, yes.
The logic was wet races are exciting.
And that's because there's less grip.
So if we made the tyres have less grip,
the cars will be more exciting
because the drivers would slide around a bit more.
But it just didn't work like that
because driving in the wet is very different.
The way that you can have more slip angle on the tyre
and it doesn't root the tyres when it's wet
because the water is cooling the tyre and all the rest of it.
And you can slide around more.
You can keep sliding all over the place in the wet
and it's fun and it does create opportunities for racing.
But when you do it on a dry tyre,
they just were like made of cheese or something, weren't they?
It was like getting a cheese grater on a piece of cheddar.
Yeah, pretty much, awful.
And they looked awful as well.
They looked wrong.
Yeah, totally wrong.
An F1 car on a single-seater should be slick, full stop.
Yeah, put the wet tyres on to the story.
But yeah, they were nasty, nasty things.
You had to adapt,
again your style to how that tyre was working as well,
which was a test in one regard,
but overall it's not about,
it should be about just throwing that car around the circuit.
It was like trying to play the piano with gloves on.
This one I'm interested in.
When they brought in those groove tyres,
or play the guitar, it doesn't matter.
Anything.
It's like you were given a pair of mittens
and told to make a sandwich.
The car you couldn't feel.
No, it was horrible.
You couldn't get any feedback through the tyre.
And it just went to balls of rubber and just slid around
and you spent a whole time just going,
you could do anything.
They didn't respond to anything.
But yes, going back to,
there is definitely going to be a driver in a particular car.
I think who will go, this feels very good.
The one I always remember you said about your Williams
was the Braun, Jensen and the team.
They didn't actually believe the speed that the thing was going.
It literally did an installation lap
and it did the fastest lap of the day type thing.
It was just out of this world.
It's very, very rare that it does happen,
there is a good chance that someone might be able to get that win.
So what we need to do is,
what will be interesting will be the very first laps
of these cars.
Early laps, I agree.
Yes.
Do.
That could be the sign.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And that's what they should be looking for.
So I reckon you'll know who's going to win the championship.
Yes.
In the first hour.
Exactly.
That could happen many a time.
Could be.
You're right.
Coming straight out of the box.
It'll be on the faces.
I'd watch.
Those are there at the tests.
I would be watching the people on the pit wall
and in the garage very carefully.
Yes.
Because they'll either be.
Those first couple of runs.
They'll be sniggering like Motley.
I can't keep using these wacky races references.
You do.
A lot.
I know you get yourself in trouble for using those as well.
It's very influential to me when I was growing up.
Yeah, I know.
Yes, exactly.
Do get yourself into trouble.
Yeah.
But those test days are going to be so valuable for the drivers
to learn about.
As I said.
That's what they've got.
So it's going to be something.
You always hear about like the Olympics.
Peaking at the right time.
These guys are going to be on it straight away.
The peaking Olympics.
Well, no.
They have to peak physically.
Oh, I see.
You mean.
Peaking.
Reaching.
Reaching.
Reaching.
Reaching.
Reaching.
Reaching.
Reaching.
Reaching.
Reaching.
Reaching.
Reaching.
Reaching.
Reaching.
Reaching.
Reaching.
Reaching.
You going to have to do more.
And then, and then they will have to pass.
They have to do more.
And there will be a lot of people getting caught out.
But they going have to learn about.
The first race there are going to be people getting
caught out by these regulations.
I predict, you predict.
I predict it's going to be.
Yeah.
Coming out of, you know, on the first lap,
you won't know whether the person's
que van a venir a jugar en el rato, pero se hacen todo eso antes de que lleguen ahí.
Se han hecho eso, incluso antes de que lleguen en la caja.
Es increíble cómo preparados todos.
Así que es muy, muy diferente.
Todavía tienes que jugar...
Estoy buscando jugar el juego.
Sí, sí, creo que es un desafío masivo y el exámenes debe estar ahí.
Espero que el rato se siente más cercano
y que el rato sea más rato también.
Es un rato muy puro.
Es un rato muy puro.
Lo deberíamos ver.
Sí, lo deberíamos ver, definitivamente.
Bueno, hemos tenido una buena chata.
Sí, hemos tenido una buena chata.
Creo que se va a traer esto a un rato.
Sí.
Johnny, hemos estado hablando...
Hemos estado predicando.
Hemos estado buscando para lanzar y probar.
Y como dije desde el principio,
es la guerra telefónica, ¿no?
