Q2 tire rules described in this video has changed for 2022 season.
us.motorsport.com/f1/news/f1-rules-update-confirms-removal-of-q2-tyre-rule/8313004/
So what's the position for all the 20 drivers in q1
Yes, noticed that in the comments.
Will see the page for more info. Thanks!
This is a more complicated and interesting process than I thought it was. Being new to the sport, I assumed that each driver got to drive a few laps on an empty circuit and the best lap time would determine the grid position of all 20 drivers (sort of like on Top Gear).
legit same exact thought
yeah its quite complex. They need to manage the tires and fuel.
so glad I wasn't the only one who thought this. Of course that little Netflix series got me interested in this, but now I actually want to know the rules.
Just got into F1, wonderful Video man, very helpful, I appreciate it
Thanks for the comment Rory. Look out for more videos coming out soon.
Grid positions for the Grand Prix are based on the Qualifying sessions. How are the grid positions set for the qualifying then?
Exactly what i wanted to know
Thank you for this video. This is my first full season as an F1 fan. Found this super helpful!
Thanks for the comment. Really means a lot. Look out for more great F1 content coming out soon
Yayyy. Same
On the pre-2006 qualifying, drivers would take turns in qualifying based on the reversed order of the previous race result instead of elimination system. This is called "one-shot qualifying", where drivers have ONLY one lap to set a quali time. And for the fuel, you use the same fuel load from qualifying in the race.
Thanks for sharing this insight.
I just watched qualifiers for this season and your video helped me learn something new. Thank you for your content!
Thanks for the message. Means a lot. Look out for more great content coming out soon!

How's the positions for q1 is determined 🤔
Excellent video, thanks for explaining!
Thanks for the comment. Mean a lot. Look out for more great F1 content coming out soon!
How are grid positions set in qualifying session
In Quali drivers will drive out of their "pit boxes/garages" and will start a lap time the moment they cross the start/finish line.
In Q1 all 20 drivers will set a time. The slowest 5 drivers will end up being P16-P20 in the order of their fastest lap.
In Q2 the 15 drivers remaining will set a time. The slowest 5 drivers will end up being P11-P15 in the order of their fastest lap.
In Q3 the 10 drivers remaining will set a time. The order of P1-P10 will be determined by their fastest lap.
Nice 👍 thank you for your video
Is there a minimum/maximum number of laps each driver has to do in each session?
Thanks for the question. I do not believe there is a minimum / maximum on how many laps a driver can complete during each session.
The outlap when the driver leaves the pitstop is not counted, but all others are counted and best time is taken .
Very well explained! 😊
Thanks for the comment. Look our for great videos coming out soon!
In the qualifying sessions, are the cars "spread out" amongst each other so they can fly down a wide open road without having to worry about colliding with each other? I'm new to F1 and I'm trying to figure why is it always the same drivers in the top 5 and bottom 5. Are elite drivers like Hamilton and Verstappen simply just "better" than everyone else, or is there more to it that gives them the top qualifying positions for every race?
i’m new too but ik that the top drivers do so much better bc of their cars
Thanks for the comment Mark. I would say 75% car performance and 25% driver skill. Good example is George Russell - when he got a chance to drive Mercedes last year he qualified P2 and at Williams there is only a very small chance of starting in the top 10.
I still don't understand why they send everybody out on the track at one time, to me it seems like all that does is put slower cars in the way of faster cars and invites the chance for people screwing up their qualifying laps or crashes. How many times have we seen someone almost hit another driver or have to swerve off the racing line.
Can you please explain sectors? (I'm new to f1)

What is the difference between qualifying and free practice
Free practice, just like the name is a practice session to get to know the track. There is no need to set a specific time. Just need to get used to the tracks and cars before qualifying. Qualifying is just like this video explained, the session to decide the orders/start position based on whose time are the fastest (only qualifying time, not practice time)
Thanks man
Thank you
Nicely explained
This is highly unfair. Those who start behind face traffic ahead and thus are less likely to register good lap times and get a pole position. what they should do is standardize the car and only allow 1 or 2 drivers at a time. This will ensure good drivers dont suffer from crappy cars and the starting position
wait i got one question, from q2 to q3 can car companies use new tires of the same quality or do they use the same tires from q2?
Thanks for the comment. In Q3 teams can any tire they want. Typically they go with a new soft tire as that is the fastest. If the weekend follows a sprint qualifying format only soft tires can be used in all the sessions.
@@F1Education Hi, why did you mention in the video that they had to use the same set of tires they did in Q2? What was that referring to?
@@hiyoryan3901 Yes, I was like wtf? He contradicted himself within a small span of 10 seconds
which tire has most speed the ultrasoft or hard?
In current rules teams have three tires to choose from: Hard, medium and soft. Soft is fastest (most speed) - downside is it wears out the quickest. Hard is typically the slowest, but lasts longer.
So if a driver uses medium tyres in q2 he has to use a new pair of medium tyres in q3?
You said there's a rule that you have to use the same tires in Q3 of you qualify from Q2, but literally 5 seconds later you say in Q3 they get a new set of tires? what?
SOrry but you don't explain how the order is settled. What about a driver making the 1st time at Q1 and the 14th time at Q3, which position will he have in the end ?
Thanks for the comment. Drivers get eliminated in each session so in Q3 there would only be 10 drivers and they will be ranked based on their time (positions 1 - 10).
How are positions determined by f1 for the drivers don’t go to q2
Thanks for the question. It is based on the lap time in Q1. Slowest is 20th, second slowest is 19th and so on
@@F1Education thank you
They race individually or together?
In Qualifying all drivers race for themselves. In the race there is two champions going on at once - constructors championship (sometimes team strategy plays a factor to maximize points) and drivers championship (points awarded based only on individual performance)
why dont good cars use soft tires in q2?
What qualifying determines the positions of the bottom 10 drivers? Or is that decided by the overall fastest qualifying lap from each of those drivers in Q1 and Q2.
That’s a good question. It is determined by the overall fastest lap in the session. As an example in Q1 the 5 that are eliminated will take grid positions 16-20 based on their best lap time in the session (slowest will be 20th and the quickest will be 16th).
Does Q1 , Q2 & Q3 results add-up for pole grid or they just take the Q3 result?
Thanks for the question. Q1 determines positions 15-20, Q2 determines 10-15 and Q3 determines 1-10
It was clear on your video as well , my mistake thanks 🙏
If you said they are suppose to use tyres from q2 for q3 , why at the end you said they use new soft tyres. Made absolutely no sense , dafuq
Appreciate the comment. Tires used in Q2 are the tires that are used to start the race. I must have made a mistake - thanks for pointing out.
@@F1Education no you got it right
I notice the same but you should take it literally, q2 tires to start the race (!), not to start q3
So do they run together on the track to set the best lap or do they run one by one?
Yes - they run together. Q1 - 20 cars, Q2 - 15 cars, and Q3 10 cars. Cars can come out at any point during the sessions so not all cars might be on track at once. Cars space themselves out and cars which are going slow have to stay away from the racing line.
@@F1Education ohh thanks for the info. So what happens if you are going for your fastest lap and someone comes in between?
By what I understand - there slower driver will be given a penalty or warning.
Are all the drivers on the track at the same during qualifying? Are the spread out?
Thanks for the question .Q1 all 20 drivers are on track, q2 15 drivers on track, q3 10 drivers on track. cars come in and out of the pits during the session, but it is possible that all cars are on track at once.
@@F1Education thanks for answering so quickly!
After qualifying where does the remaining 10 that didn't make it through qualifying still get to race on the Sunday?
Thanks for the question. Those who do not move on to Q2 start 15-20, those who do not move on to Q3 start 11-15 and Q3 determines order of top 10
when do they start logging for best lap? after 1 lap of warming up? or the driver will notify someone that they are going for lap record? im always confused cars going around but no timer showing
Thanks for the question. The lap when the drivers leave the pit is called outlap - this is not counted towards the time. All full laps they complete after this are timed and the best lap is taken to determine their place in the grid / to see if they will move on to next session.
@@F1Education Thank you! liked and subscribed, keep it up
what happens when there's a yellow or a red flag. won't it ruin the the lap for some?
Yes - exactly. This situation happened in the last 2 races and a lot of drivers lost position due red flag. My understanding is that Yellow flag only impacts the sector in which there is a yellow flag, but red flag mean the lap has to be abandoned.
a few times I have seen drivers who have no qual time get put into 10th position ahead of people who do have a time. How does this work?
Thanks for the question. This might be because this driver qualified for Q3 so they are getting worst spot in Q3 which is 10th
Here is the sad truth.
Qualifying in F1 really doesn't matter. Every team that shows up gets a guaranteed spot, and even if the 3 top teams end up in last place they'll quickly overtake the slow crappy cars.
Sorry if it's a silly question but do they use the exact same tires used in Q2 in the race or you mean a new set of the same type?
It used to until last season that they used the exact tire that was used in Q2, but since 2022, rule has has changed to have free tire choice for the race
@@F1Education Ah I didnt know they abolished it altogether.
Btw I want to thank you for your vids because they're very informative, well explained, and above all allow a new fan to enjoy and appreciate this amazing sport.
Thank you so much for your kind words and for supporting the channel.
u said they have to use q2 tyres ...then u said 2:58 cars in q3 fitted with new tyres...wht does that mean? by the way, it was a very good vdo
Thanks for the comment. There was a rule which stated that that the tires used to set the lap time in Q2 had to be used to start the race. This rule was removed for 2022.
@@F1Education thanks man! appreciate that
how do they start the laps in qualifying
When the drivers comes out of the pits it is referred to as an 'out lap'. When the driver comes back into the pits it is referred as the 'in lap'. All laps other than the in lap and the out lap are timed laps.
@@F1Education what about when the driver backs out of a lap they started maybe after a mistake. When or where do they restart the lap time of the new lap
@Ndivhuwo Nefale all laps outside the in lap and out lap are timed so they can choose to do a fast lap anytime. Say for example driver makes a mistake on lap 1 he can go fast on lap 2 or take lap 2 easy and try a fast lap on the following lap
But how come there’s 20 cars in the racing day ?
That’s a good question. Each Qualifying session determines the order of the drivers, not the number of drivers who can race.
1:25 what website is this? it’s good to see the tire they use
These images are from formula1.com, but I can’t find similar one showing the tire selection m for recent Grand Prix’s
You might want to check your spelling. The video is loaded with typos.
'Minutes' & ' Summary'
Are you indian?
Yes I am. Currently live in the US
@@F1Education yup your voice is similar to mine ,,well are u there to study?
I think there’s a way to make F1 far more exciting than it is now. Eliminate qualifying. Whoever has the lowest total points so far in the season starts at the front, those with the most points start from the rear. It would eliminate the ‘rich getting richer’ system we have now, with the wealthiest teams always winning. And the best drivers would excel, despite not necessarily being in the most expensive cars. They’d have to consistently win from the back. This could actually make F1 exciting to watch.

fake accent
question, who gets pole position on quali? like who goes in P2,P3 etc? how do they decide the position of the drivers in qualifying?
Thanks for the question. The top ten driving order is determined in the last qualifying session where 10 drivers compete. The driver with the fastest time in the last qualifying session is on Pole, 2nd fastest in P2 and so on.
@@F1Education okay. But hiw is the pole positiin determined in Q1
Can some pls explain me what is pole position in a bit detail
Can someone explain in what formation the cars are during fp1?
There's no formation during free practice sessions.
If Q2 tires have to be used in Q3, how can they use soft tires? Got a bit confused there..
Hi Chiro - thanks for the comment. In 2021 the tires used to set the lap time in Q2 had to used to start the race. In 2022 this rule has been removed. Drivers have free tire choice to start the race.
@@F1Education Thanks.. Now it make sense.
Also thanks for making such nice videos, especially amazing because it’s short and very informative..
