  A few notes:<br><br>1. The “plank of wood” under the car isn’t actually wood, it’s a plank of resin with titanium blocks (skid blocks) in certain parts of the plank. This is where the sparks come from when they skid across the ground.<br><br>2. “KERS” is a bit dated — it’s just ERS now lol, that’s because while there is kinetic energy recovery from braking; MGU-K (motor generator unit - kinetic), there is also energy recovery from the exhaust gasses; MGU-H (motor generator unit - heat).<br><br>3. DRS was brought in for 2011 because with the newer cars in 2010 it was basically too difficult to overtake so this was an aid. When the driver behind is within 1 second, they gain access to DRS to try and make the pass, the regulations state that the current DRS gap can be maximum of 85mm, so any larger than this = disqualification.<br><br>Awesome video Marques! Thanks for bringing our awesome sport to so many more people 😁

  DRS was never a feature only used by one team which then spread to others. From the start (2011) it was mandated by the FIA in order to counter the negative effects of dirty air (when following another car) and as such promote more overtaking and therefore more exciting races. It could never have been developed by an individual team anyway because it would&apos;ve represented a movable part which affected aerodynamics - something that has been banned in F1 since the 1960s.

  My man just made a 19 minute ad for Bitdefender, but somehow managed to make it another banger video. Truman Show :D

  Welding the manhole covers down has been common practice for years now, what happened in LV was actually a bit more intense. It didn&apos;t just rip up the manhole cover, it ripped the frame it was welded to out of the road itself

  I feel sorry for all the new fans who missed out on the drama / excitement / glory of the 2021 season. It&apos;s still a talking point 2 years later. Regardless of who you supported, it was one of the most exciting seasons we had in a long while
