  1. The difference is between static and dynamic pressure and I think that is his source of confusion. Static pressure will be constant all the way around the vehicle when it is standing still and dynamic pressure will vary with speed. As dynamic pressure increases, static pressure will go down. This is the basis of the Bernoulli Effect and the reason why lift varies with speed.

  2. Really blub Yeah, I understood you quite well. I was just referring to the previous poster's complaint about density. He was referring to lift in general terms so the details of that were not really central to the video. I was just pointing out the practical differences between pressure and density in this case.

  3. Really blub Exactly and we are not dealing with compressible flow in F1.
