Hi Sim Racers - We have about 32 more seats remaining for our next 4-week Pure Pace MasterClass starting at the end of April.

Thanks to all the drivers that have signed up so far and I'll see you in two weeks.

So those old flat floors are out - and well now we have aero tunnels - and strap in - these are genius. I’m so excited for these aero-tunnels.

These actually lifts the dirty air up and above the car behind - genius!

When you watch Formula 1 now, you will notice that all of the drivers use quite a similar driving style.

Well, let's look back at Senna. Over his time in Formula 1 - he drove a lot of different cars. All of which needed driving differently.

So what was that Rocket Engine about last year?

So how did they do it? And will they be able to do the same thing in 2022?

Thanks so much to Craig Scarborough for joining us, go follow him! @ScarbsTech

So, the next era of F1 is starting - and the cars are changing A LOT.

Oh, and say hi to Craig Scarborough - he's got some mega insights for us.

Let’s get to it! Check it out on the Driver61 Channel! #Driver61 #Formula1 #F12022

Formula 1 has a BRILLIANT history of cheating.

Drivers have literally cut corners to snatch pole, crashed into each other to win championships and even risked massive explosions to score points.

So Formula 1 tyres have changed a lot.

So for this episode of Track Evolution, I’m going to take you from the 50s to today and explain what’s changed and why the tyres have continually caused arguments.

Verstappen has made some bold moves all season. Running Lewis wide at Imola, around the outside at Portimao, down the inside in Spain. There has been a lot of chat saying that Max is TOO aggressive.

Could an F1 car drive upside down? The whole world seems to think so, and in theory, they are correct.

Well, today we are going to dive into the physics behind it.

This is Sidecar racing, and it’s mental. It takes two people to drive this thing. One on the controls, and one manipulating the balance of the bike.

There are 8 points between Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton heading into the final 2 races - things are tight, and things are exciting. So let’s have a look at who the momentum is with, and who I think will win.

This is a clutch from a Land Rover Defender, and this is a clutch from a Formula 1 car - they’re remarkably different.

Check out the YouTube channel for an in-depth explanation of how it all works!

This week on 'The F1 Breakdown' I go over how Mercedes have got so fast on the straights! Their progress has been mighty, we think it's down to a trick with the rear wing - specifically, where they deform the main-plane at high speeds.

Could you drive an F1 car? Say tomorrow we took you to track and presented a modern F1 car to you, could you do a few laps? Would you even be able to pull away?

[Driver61 @realDriver61]

This was a bizarre one! Watching the GP I was so confused why Bottas didn't cover Verstappen off!

Hamilton said that Bottas “left the door open” to Verstappen at the start of the Mexican GP. But was that the case? And why would Bottas do this?
