    Mercedes behind the scenes is probably the best. Their youtube technical content is second to none.

    Then there is Ferrari who continue to ride on the backbone of their historic name and are completely boring and display none of the passion they are supposedly known for. Red Bull drives an F1 car at different points across the USA and even in snow, and Ferrari drives around the block and pretends its equally as exciting.
    Yes. Very boring. They only upload 4-5 videos per week.... https://www.youtube.com/c/Ferrari/videos

    Recently they rebuilt a 375 F1 from scratch just for a few laps around Silverstone. Definitely they don't show any passion for the sport..

    Red Bull have always done stupid stuff. I wouldn't say its passion, just marketing. When we have such a rich history, we don't need to do such things to grab attention.

    The more boring the better for me, keeps away the fair weathers :)

    Seriously, look at their videos. We get cooking videos and what the new paint of their helmets are. That is weak content.

    They have zero technical video's on F1 which is half of what F1 is all about. They have zero features on their F1 cars. It's 90% highlights from their Ferrari Challenge races.

    The sad part is, they have the F1 Clienti program which means they could bring some incredible content, but they don't. I would think a team passionate about their F1 program would want to show some actual F1 content, especially from their winning cars. Instead, nothing.

    Exactly what I am saying. It's always marketing. Red Bull drives their F1 cars outside of F1 tracks, Mercedes shows the unseen technical side of their F1 cars, past and present. And Ferrari slaps a Ferrari emblem on a closed door and calls it good enough. The question was who does more for F1, and Red Bull and Mercedes absolutely do more than Ferrari.

    I sure will. I'll keep watching Mercedes videos on interesting details of an F1 car too. Porsche does some really exciting stuff too. I love when car companies and motorsport teams show motorsport content. I'll refrain from subscribing to Ferrari's channel to avoid the next string of commercials showing off their latest road car.

    You should support your passion for Red Bull and Merc all day long, maybe even join their social media pages etc and praise them, next step buying their merch and support them on track as you do off it

    I've subscribed to their channels because they put out better content. I'm not ashamed to afraid to be honest about that. Maybe if people stopped pretending to speak the truth about Ferrari being so perfect, they would have had more success in the last 12-15 years.

    Yup ignore what's really being said.

    Why are you so triggered by this? The question was who does more for F1 and Red Bull and Mercedes do more than Ferrari. If you believe Ferrari does more, and therefore the most, please tell me what they do to promote the sport.

    Ferrari don't need to do squat to promote Formula 1.....ferrari is the most successful brand and the most ICONIC team in F1 and has been in F1 since day ONE.....enough said

    red fool is just a FIZZY drinks company....and Merc....well don't think we'll see them in F1 fo much longer.....the big boss will prolly pull the plug in a few years time

    You illustrate my point.

    You have just said that Ferrari does nothing for Formula 1, that they are riding the coattails of what they did in the past... the distant past. - who has been the most successful in the last 15 years?

    A company that makes energy drinks apparently can build a better race car than Ferrari who have been #1 since 1950 - that's pretty embarrassing for Ferrari don't you think?

    It's kind of like the Maple Leafs. People will talk about what they did in the past, but they haven't won anything in decades.

    I believe that every driver in F-1 wishes they could drive for Ferrari before they retire. After 4 WDCs with R Bull; Sebs dream was to get that Ferrari seat.

    LOL yeah Horner etc all make energy drinks in between races not like they have spent any money on a F1 team at all.....being in a sport a long time does not mean you win everything, being in F1 in 1950 has no relation performance wise to being in F1 in 2021. Mind you Ferrari used to do videos in the snow when they were winning...maybe that is the secret after all.

    Ferrari are certainly the wrong F1 team to support if you want cool marketing videos and win after win as they have never been able to do that in all the years in the sport, but that is your own choice to make.
    Forza Ferrari

    I guess you didn't understand.

    FerrariF60 said Red Bull is just a Fizzy drink company. If that was the case, that'd be awfully embarrassing for Ferrari. Red Bull is the title sponsor and financial backing of one piece of their empire. People seem to forget they bought out Jaguar in 2004 and their motorsport impact goes far beyond Formula 1. They deserve a hell of a lot more credit that just being a "Fizzy drink company"

    Thank you for agreeing with me that the success Ferrari had has nothing to do with their performance now.

    Somewhat true. Seb's pirouettes started at Hockenheim 2018 and followed from there. When Seb joined Ferrari, Ferrari have'nt had a winner car for over a decade......and currently in 2021, Ferrari have yet to produce a winning car.

    Actually our aero is very good. We 're crawling back on our engine.

    Hey man!

    IF Ferrari turns out to be uncompetitive in 2022 (engine-wise/aero), do you think Ferrari should do away with Binnoto?
    Or, would it be best to keep him for the remainder of 2026?

    Honestly, we should've won 2010, '12, '17, and '18.

    IF Ferrari got rid of Binotto, do you know how many team principles Ferrari would have gone thru since the start of this hybrid era??

    Better yet, how many team principles have Mercedes have gone thru??? Or RedBull???

    Binotto stays IMO.
    It's not how start but how you finish.
