22 rules that probably not even FIA knows about F1
Wouldn’t put it past them💀😂
@@offthegridF1 🔥🔥🔥
The 107% rule has been pretty chill since 2011. Since that there's only been 4 instance wheree the 107% rule are apploed and that driver aren't allowed to race. 4 of them are all HRT drivers. A totally differenct scenario from what happened from 2000s and earlier
That’s interesting! Yes I think all 20 current drivers have proved that they are capable of driving at the level required in formula 1
I think it was used a while back to stop paid drivers and rich celebs who wanted to drive the cars in the race
Super license is probably good enough now to remove this rule
That rule was introduced when there where at least 12 teams competing. It was actually an anti mobile chicane rule. There where some cars and drivers that where so bad that they finished the races 5 to 10+ laps behind the winner.
and where a constant treat for ALL the other drivers.
Mazepin: 😳
@@Kualinar What really strikes me was the second implementation in 2011, the year where the low 3 teams still around. While some drivers were didn't allowed to race because of the 107% rule, 80% of the time they're allowed to race despite being over 107%.
@@alieffauzanrizky7202 HRT once didn't even take part in qualifying in Monaco, but they were still allowed to race. The current 107% rule is not as strict as in the past, as it applies to Q1 times only, when the top drivers are taking it easy. You have to be really slow to not make it.
Your rule #2 has to deal with drivers doing a burnout from their grid slot to start the formation lap. Drivers used to do that to give themselves a bit of traction advantage off the line. Also, the one about tires and air, teams used to experiment with different gasses in the tires. This was basically just a "stop spending money on stupid stuff" rule.
But they can use the tires, it's to stop things like happen in NASCAR, where some teams spray soda on the pits to give them better grip
@@GabrielLima-ro7zebut the pits can be manipulated I think
And blatant cheating in the good ol’ days, dropping oil or water on track. Also, teams have used storeys etc on grid boxes in the past to help drivers get an advantage on launch.
@@GabrielLima-ro7ze the pits is one thing. Rule 2 deals with the starting grid.
They can use tyres to do it and they do it. For example Red Bull crew always pushes their cars a little bit backwards when they put them on the ground before start, so they can do a little burnout when starting formation lap to increase grip on race start. In Austria 2022 in the practice after sprint qualifying, knewing where he will start, Alonso even waited to get to the slot he would be starting from to get his practice start at the end of the practice session.
3:14 Roscoe has a FIA Pass so he's allowed in the paddock
Haha didn’t know that, he deserves it!
Why does that not surprise me an exception made
@@glennoswald5928 ?? Dude wanted his dog, he made a pass. No exception here.
@@zbraDEVOzbra are you saying it isn't an exception from the rule that only animals used for safety services are allowed? Is Roscoe one of Lewis' bodyguards perhaps 😁
(Also if HE himself made a pass it'd surely be outside rules and regulations...)
..or, am I just being r/whoshed for not getting that you're just joking? 🤦♂😁
@@bennylloyd-willner9667 we know you're a lewis hater. But you got to put that on the side and use a bit of your brain.
The rule is : no animals allowed except the security ones. OK, then he made a pass, FIA said yes, that's it. If tomorrow Max want his cat in the paddock, he can ask for a pass and he will get it.
In case of number 12, qualifying also counts as a practice session (this was evident when Nico Hulkenback stepped in at the Nürnbergring in the pink Mercedes)
In the sporting regulations its even defined as “qualifying practice”
I guess rule n°2 could be applied to Redbull, when they tried to dry up the grid spot of Albon in Hungary 2020.
Yeah good point!
I think drying is OK, you see them use wipers all the time, I think heating up or trying to add stuff to make the surface more sticky is not allowed.
@@RobinDeur1980 yeah I think Aston Martin were doing that at Miami when they had a water leak, probably to do with the actual surface
In NASCAR at some point teams would pour Coca-Cola on their grid slot to increase the grip. I'm guessing this rule covers stuff like that.
This is also for when you know your grid slot and lay rubber down to improve your start. That’s also why practice starts are limited.
Rule 2 covers things like laying down tape in the pit lane for grip or artificially drying the track. Red Bull were accused of breaking this rule in 2020 (except in 2020 it was rule 22.3) when they were they were reported for using the brake duct leaf blowers to dry Albon's grid slot. They purposely left the blowers on and placed them in front of the front tyres.
They "proved" they would have made no difference by "testing" them after the race on a part of the track with different asphalt when the track temperature was a lot cooler...it was laughable.
The grip rule is so teams cant go sweeping the pitlane or putting anything in their gridbox before the race
Makes sense! I’d be putting down griptape
Also for 4:55 The Race director would allow them to race
Rule 7 doesn’t apply to the 2005 USGP. All cars lined up for the formation lap at which point the race is officially deemed to have started
i think the rule about altering grip could be referring to purposfully putting gravel/sand on the track to worsen grip for other drivers - potentially in quali eg if 2 RB had 1st and 2nd in Q3, but ferrari were getting close then the rule stops RB from worsening track conditions for their benefit.
I think the tie for championship should be like lap times in qualifying the driver who got the points first should win
Worst case scenario would take a page out of old regulations and check scores with discarding some amount of races to benefit the most consistent
Rule 2 explanation: It is mean by having a tank of liquid being poured from the car on the circuit, or having a fan, which will dry up the circuit faster on the car or some device which is comparable. Exclusion from rule: Pit Box is allowed by pitcrew to be dried.
Rule 12: If the car is expected to Qualify, they can get a permission. But this rule was not enforced even in year 1997, where being outside 107% meant that you cannot go into qualy, as it is a too slow time to be counted as participant. So this rule is a bit not used in reality. For drivers, if you have a practise 3 injury, you can swap your driver, he can qualy, but if he is outside 107%, he will not get the permission to start as he does not show the required pace.
Rule 13: This is the rule describing the thing from rule 12
Cheers
Rule 2. In the past, specifically 80’s and earlier, some cars would drop oil or water in track during quality to hamper competitors. This was activated by the driver.
I don't consider myself an amazingly F1 knowledgeable fan, but everything here was old news
Must be more knowledgeable than you think!
Explains why Franz Tost refused to appeal Yuki's penalty after Barcelona; didnt want to pay €6000 😭
€6000 for them is about €6 for us normal people I would guess, so that's prob not the reason.
#7 - *Not true* that they could cancel Indy '05, particularly given the way things unfolded. That regulation is worded to refer to the "Competition" - which is described in the sporting regs as the whole event, not just the race session. Cancellation is possible if only 6 cars were *entered* and theoretically possible if *all but* 6 cars were formally withdrawn, but I think 14/16 cars rolling into to the pits and DNS-ing en masse does not reach that bar.
Very well put.
At the time they took up the out lap and the grid formation lap as part of the race.
That was particularly needed after threats to penalize the teams if they did not participate in the event after having their protests denied regarding tire safety on the banked corners.
Eccleston put them against the wall and they played the rules to his face brilliantly
The very first rule in this list is only applicable in this one motorsport. It's allowed in every single other series. In fact, as recently as last weekend as I'm writing this, MotoGP team Pramac ran two different liveries on their two bikes, a heaven livery and a hell livery.
Sorry but you wrong for example BTCC also require all cars from a single team to have the same livery plus quite a few other race series also require it as well
Number 2 is most noticeable during wet races and has been enforced recently. In F2 and investigated in F1, by using blowers to dry a drivers grid slot. There was a 5 second time penalty given for this.
Teams actually use nitrogen because there's little to no water content. So the change in pressure with temp is more consistent.
Do you think rule 7 about 12 cars being available would stop another US 2005? I think maybe not, if it's worded like that. At the US GP 2005 all 20 cars took the formation lap, and the 14 Michelin runners were classified DNS, not DNA, so they were all there and available.
You are absolutely correct on this assessment
Years ago, I read that there was a rule that 'The driver must be seated facing forward in the vehicle at all times.'.
Rule 18 is dumb as originally I believe it was introduced to reduce costs with rare materials and skipping out on safety. But now with safety requirements viewed under a magnifying glass, and the cost cap there’s no need. You can’t spend what you aren’t allowed to have. Unless you’re Redbull:)
What exactly did Red Bull spend on that they werent allowed to have on the car ??, either explain yourself or STFU
I genuinely didn't know most of these! Good job!
Cheers mate! There’s a lot I didn’t have a clue about
in FIA speak Quali is actually ‘Qualifying Practice’ so a driver could compete in the race if they only did quali. the FIA can also give exemptions as with the 107% rule
Rule #2: I don’t know if this applies because I don’t know what they consider the “track surface”, but I once saw a pit crew in Indycar pouring Coca Cola all over their pit box. It was basically polished concrete so they were dumping coke on there so it would get sticky once it dried. That’s the only thing that comes to mind!
It does count to this rule, yes.
Anything that alters grip except the car riding around on normal operating conditions is subject to analysis
Hot air drying grid slots before race start on wet conditions is the most common breach of regulation for this one
1:06 In F2 last year driver was penalised when team pointed the cooling things on track (wet start) because it could help him gain grip
4:54 Qualifying is officially qualifying practice so you could enter that and compete still
Nitrogen in tires make the gas in the tire expand less in high temperature, and makes tyre pressure more consistent.
Rule 7 - Actually no. Because all the cars simply pulled into the pitlane at the end of the formation lap they were deemed to have "entered" and thus the race would have gone ahead since it would be impossible for them to cancel the race at such short notice.
Rule 10 - The FIA seems flexible with this ruling. In 1991 Jordan used 5 drivers (only one change was enforced) and in 1993 they used 6 (no enforced changes), but in 1992 Andrea Moda tried to use 5 but were refused. Either that or they just didn't like Andrea Moda lol
Rule 12 - Qualifying (either sprint or race) actually counts as a "practice session".
I knew nearly all of these, most of them aren’t that obscure and have been heavily covered. (Weight for car and driver for example)
rule 2 probably exists because teams salted the roads in the WRC to make rwd compeditive. It was probably just carried over.
As far as i remember rule 4 did not come into play at Silverstone in 2022 after Zhou’ horrific crash.
They’re probably given an exemption if they’re in hospital 😅
I just knew #4 was because of the Iceman
Red bull is out there trying to break the trophies to get rule 14 broken
😂
i think rule number 2 means drivers are not allowed to do excessive burnouts to lay extra rubber down but i might be wrong
No, because that is driving on the track, it means for example they can’t dry a wet track in front of their car.
Knew 1, 3, 6, 7, 13, 16. The others were very interesting :)
Rule 3, solution D would blow up the comment section on all social media😂😂
Rule 2 happened in other sport, MotoGP. Where they cleaned the dust off Rossi's grid
underrated
Cheers 🙌🏼
Is rule 8 really "...25 mm in its LARGEST dimension..."? That means that it'd be legal to have a name/brand logo with the dimensions 1mm x 25mm, to make room for other labels or something?
I would have thought they'd write "...25 mm in its SMALLEST dimension..." to force them put a readable text/logo on.
Rule 2 was used last race for F2? Or 3 but the team used blowers to fry the starting grid for someone
Quali is deemed as a practice session… PDR in Hungary
I'm curious as to how they'll punish the animals on track. 10 second penalty to the ground hogs
The rule on changing grip on the track is probably in reference to back when they did qualifying one at a time. At one race Schumacher when out before Alonso and on his in lap Schumi went off line and brought some sand onto the track in the racing line. This was some of the douchebaggery that Schumi did to sabotage others.
The sneaky teams would scream for disqualification of your verbal presentation of the first rule 😁.
In a video about precise rules and regulations, you should probably don't omit "...substantially..." when quoting a rule shown on screen.
Rule 9, I bet they deputized Danny's horse and Lewis' dog to be a part of the security😁
Number 2 is to stop teams dumping shit like oil on the track etc etc. not really a modern rule
The guidedogs of the stewards are exempt from the animal rule.
What is the background of rule #15? Why do the teams need to pay a fee?
DSQ and €100000 fine for dog on track during practice 2 in the 2020 Bahrain Grand Prix
Forgot about that😂
I think rule 2 might be for the pitboxes
Yeah I think you're right!
nice vid there was one problem which is there can be a max of 25 races not 24
Nope, it's 24 according to "fia_2023_formula_1_sporting_regulations__-issue_2-__2022-09-30.pdf"
edit: found a later one "fia_2023_formula_1_sporting_regulations__-issue_5-__2023-04-25_0.pdf" but that still says 24
Thx
again, nitpickin' but I can't help myself: the full text should be shown IMO: ..."However, this limit may be amended by the Race Director following a recommendation from the Safety Delegate."
Rule 10: it's actually 32.1 (not 31.1). I know it's nitpickin' but the video is about exact rules after all 😁
Rule 2 probably to forbid teams to pour water or oil on the track
#9 That rule can not be applied to any wild animal. It only apply to domesticated animals.
Yeah, it'd be useless to drag a badger to court for running over the track...
..."don't badger the witness"...
(sorry, have too much time on my hands🤦♂😁)
Rules you probably didnt know about "can speed in pitlane"💀
2:39 what happens if it happens again, i mean like have less then 12 cars at the last minute on the grid like they did back then?
I highly doubt it will ever happen again. this was a one off as tyres couldnt handle the track and the FIA did nothing about it. now the tyres are fine, that track is gone and I doubt the FIA would want to piss off its fans again after putting so much effort into bringing back the US fans by putting 3 gps in the US.
@@adamhawley3596 I know, things like that happened at the last minute, 3 us races is too much
I think there is no rule for pitstop, there is only rule to use 2 diffrent types of tyres.
Imagine the fines for a driver stopping on the track to change tyres😁
I think rule 2 is intended for things like intentionally dumping oil.
Solid video, but the occasional - I'm not even sure what to call it - (voice line, maybe?) really took away from the video, as it sounded out of place, and also overpowered your voice, occasionally.
Why do they need to pay for points earned?
No clue! Thought it was strange
Its some dumb rule to recoup some of the money they lose for handing out the prize money for the drivers and constructor championships, basically the better you did the more you pay towards the winner's prize
So let’s get this straight: F1 awards points for the constructors series for the season and teams have to pay F1 a minimum plus cost per point ? SMFH
About as bad as nascar owning almost all nascar tracks and requiring teams to pay the track for each race
Monaco doesn't care about rule 14.
To be honest, if two drivers finish with the same number of points, 1sts, 2nds, and 3rds, they should either share the championship or have a head to head race.
One lap of Abu Dhabi in Superkarts.
So don’t they look into quali results to see who managed to get a better pole position?
So can we call him dead head now how has died his hair. Maybe he would still be alive if he had just dyed it😂😂
Fun fact: According to the FIA sporting regulations, there is no rule that specifically prevents you shooting your competitor's tyres out with a Glock 19
'intentionally causing damage to other competitors' is a rule
@@ghostrider-be9ek you see, intent is rather hard to prove lol
@@itzshummy101 you cant 'accidentally point aim and shoot' a tire out of a competitors car - the FIA would laugh you out of the room
@@ghostrider-be9ek observe.
Meathead
F1 pisses me off. 7:57
Rule 23 formula one is making too much money
please turn off that infuriatingly repetitive background noise
So if you are fat you can't drive in f1? Damn, and 80kg is not that much
Yep haha, Ocon struggled I think cause he’s so tall
I would not advise driving a F1 racecar on full speed when you're fat. We see (sometimes) G force measurement on the body . They go up to 5G...Also fat will weigh 5 timnes more in those bends.
its not even fat, 80kg is 176 lbs, thats really not a lot of weight at all. anything over 210 i could see being more reasonable
