Once I saved the f1 sporting regulations to my computer at school, and in a couple boring computing lessons, I learned that you can’t do what Schumacher did at Austria 2002 when he let Barrichello on the top step.
Regulations also change between and even during seasons. Confusing, but it does make for funny gotcha's on folks who still apply the letter of the rules from 5 years ago.
1:40 - It is possible to get special dispensation to break this one; Coulthard's last race at Red Bull (Brazil 2008) springs to mind as he had the Wings for Life special livery but Webber ran the usual livery.
@@kazisamir3411 Not sure 'bout that because what BAR did in 1999 was already illegal. (That's why they had the car with half of each sponsor divided by the horrendous zipper)
If it's a one-off, then the FIA may approve it (Fernando's 2018 final McLaren livery at Abu Dhabi, and the aforementioned Wings for Life livery), but if the intention is to use it for more than a race or two then it's denied (BAR's attempted dual liveries that led to the half/half scheme during the actual season).
Pretty much the only difference the two cars are allowed to have is the numbers, and that's largely because no two drivers can use the same number at the same time
The rule about 12 cars being available was in place at US 2005, that’s *why* they all turned up to the grid and then retired because the cars were deemed “available” by taking the formation lap.
@@thomass.7836 Not to take the formation lap, would have been a breach of commercial contracts like the concorde agreement..

Am I the only one who thought all of these rules seem normal and sensible? Even if I had to pick just one rule that seems strange out of these, I'd be hard pressed. Maybe the podium color limitation?
@@cole2999 its probably there to make sure everyone has enough time, the driver conferance stuff for example, they need to get well rested and knowing it will be Xh if very very helpful
The podium carpet is probably to make sure things show well on camera. If someone used neon yellow or something it would look bad. A lot of that is just standardizing details similar to a football pitch or hockey rink. Bit of room for custom bits but largely the same.
I really hope to see 26 again, many many drivers should be on the grid. But there aren't enough places... Most teams don't like the idea of 3 car teams, new teams have to spend 200million just to participate. Good luck finding new teams. F2 teams should need to have the possibility to intergrate into F1, without spending the full jackpot.
I wonder if the 'no branded drinks' rule came in after Fernando Alonso was seen with a can of Coca-Cola after he won in Bahrain in 2005. The energy drinks - Red Bull, Monster, etc. - probably care about that rule quite a lot. Remember it's not champagne anymore, it's sparkling wine! And The Toreador Song is iconic now, but until 1997 it was Ode to Joy, which I didn't know until watching the archive races on F1TV.
@@americanpride9733 Stefano Domenicali: Asked why the sport had decided on the switch, he said: "The answer is very simple: it is the quality of the product and the quality of the company. This is the reason why our relationship has developed."
@@americanpride9733 Because it’s (presumably, given the brand name) Italian, which therefore cannot legally be call champagne because it does not come from the champagne region of France
@@americanpride9733 They sell the rights to be the official champagne sponsor. This year the supplier spot was bought by Ferrari Trento (hence why you see those "FERRARI" logos on the digital screens under every podium, even when Ferrari aren't on the podium). Ferrari Trento are an Italian company, not French. In the European Union you can only call sparkling wine 'Champagne' if it comes from the Champagne region of France, so it's technically an Italian sparkling wine, not a champagne.
Actually I think you mean the 1982 race, where all the British teams bar a few exceptions (Tyrrell for one) withdrew in protest of FISA disqualifying Nelson Piquet & Keke Rosberg from the Brazilian GP on the account of their "water cooled" brakes tactic.
I’ve always known it’s as March of the Toreadors from Carmen. The prelude is made up of songs/music in the rest of the opera. This music doesn’t appear till Act 2.
Well if you wanna be super pedantic and super cheeky you could say the Gorila trophy from Paul Ricard holds some liquid in its mouth (4:38) therefore it's a cup.
Very interesting rules about the drinks. In NASCAR, it is customary for drivers sponsored by a drinks brand to consume their sponsor's products in post race interviews and in victory lane should they win. Also applies to event sponsors, so if you win the Coca Cola 600 you will be provided a Coke to drink in victory lane, regardless of whether you are personally sponsored by them.
There are no strange rules in this whole video. These are 100% normal rules that even if you hear for the first time you'll never say like "oh man, that's a strange one".
Mandatory attendance at the end of season piss up is a bit weird. I won some club MX championships but couldn't be bothered going to the presentation nights. Why should someone be penalised for that?
@alan mac Those events are organized by the FIA and there are sponsors related reasons why if some big name doesn't attend, the event might get less notoriety and interest from investors and public too. Imagine an event like that one where there are no athletes. Just a bunch of old mans from FIA. It wouldn't be appealing.
The four drivers per team per season rule almost got the team of Spyker into trouble. They started their only season, 2007, with Christijan Albers and Adrian Sutil as drivers. Albers was fired after the British Grand Prix. For the next Grand Prix he was replaced by Markus Winkelhock who made the most of it and led a part of his only ever Grand Prix. Winkelhock was in turn replaced by Sakon Yamamoto for the remainder of the season. As Yamamoto was the fourth driver and Albers was fired, if Yamamoto and/or Sutil were unable to start, Winkelhock was the only possible substitute. As he was competing in DTM that year and wasn't always available for Spyker, the team ran half a season under threat of having to start the race with either one or none of their cars, which eventually wouldn't happen though.
The 12 car rule wasn't introduced after the US GP in 2005. There was a time in the early eighties (I think) where FOTA tried to prevent a race being a championship race by pulling out and leaving only the FISA teams. Might have been late seventies as it feels like the disagreement was over ground effect. The other part of this is that all the cars were available to race at Indy 2005, they technically chose not to.
Fun fast about the 4 drivers rule, Alpha Tauri (Toro Rosso at the time) actually hit 4 drivers in the 2017 season, with Gasly, Hartley, Sainz and Kvyat all driving the car during the season
When you think about it, they're putting these cars into official f1 video games, etc. So the liveries probably have requirements related to this so we can drive the same car in the video game we see on TV, and they have advanced notice so they can prepare.
3:15 I'm assuming such an episode would feature the Schumacher/Barichello podium "incident" at the 2002 Austrian Grand Prix when race winner Michael lifted 2nd place Rubens to the top spot. (That was the "Let Michael pass for the championship" race)
There's stuff in the ISC about the Stewards being about to publish a new timetable it's not the rules that are the problem it's next to impossible to put into practice at short notice there are various national officials appointed by the ASN plus marshals, medical and rescue crews that all have full-time jobs to go back to. There are so many marshals at F1 events so they could probably have enough of those for adequate coverage but all the others are in much shorter supply.
After a quick search, it seems pit lane speed limits were introduced In the wake of an incident at the 1994 race at Imola, where four mechanics were injured by a flying loose wheel in pit lane. Entirely unrelated to the two other incidents on that weekend that cost the lives of Ayrton Senna and Roland Ratzenberger.
@@McPlayer8t interesting. I read somewhere (not trustworthy, tho) that it was because in some track, can't recall what, the pit lane is shorter than the actual pit straight. So some pilot took the shorter path to overtake, but I guess the safety reason makes SO MUCH MORE sense.
@@carlosbarzottowirti1895 Imola would be a fair bet for that too, there used to be a chicane before the main straight and the pit entry kinda cut that a bit.
You did something wrong wtf1: The rule is, that 12 cars must ENTER the event (the Event starts on the friday), not starting the race. So a repeat of Indy 2005 is still possible.
Fun fact: the meme of the “surprised guy” you used at the end of the video is Drew Scanlon and had an F1 podcast and used to be a part of video game news website Giant Bomb
One interesting rule is that F1 drivers have to attend the media events when called. All of them. If they don't go to a single one, they're fined. There's no indication to how much that fine is, but when Ricciardo asked how much was it when he didn't want to do media last season, the response given was only "very high."
Learnt during Canada GP 2019. If you finish in the top three and don't go to the podium, you get disqualified. Seb didn't want to go, but his team convinced him to go to the podium
Just what I needed after this day to make it a bit better. Formula video + listening to the music I like (Delta Parole, Metallica and other) make me feel the speed and excitement!
I would love to see the livery rule changed. Still very recognisable team livery, but also a livery that you can see instantly which driver you're watching
Yeah I can never tell the difference between two cars of the same team - there should at least be a rule about, say, a driver identifier such that any camera angle can allow you to know who you're watching, unless theres another car between that car and the driver, of course.
What F1 should do about their passing rules. 1 - The car that is not ahead is deemed to alongside once the front wheel makes it past the rear wheel of the lead car. The leading car going into a corner must give a car width from the end point of the corner, or is considered at fault. The width applies to both the inside and outside of an apex, meaning once the rear car is ahead of the front cars rear wheel, the rear car also must apply to the same width when driving off the apex out of the corner. Once the car that is not ahead is in this position, the lead car must not take that width away until safety past the car in back. 2. The car in the rear must be ahead prior to the apex in order for that vehicle to now be able to switch as the lead car. Same rules as above now apply with apex car widths. If the car in the rear does not get past prior to the apex, then rule 1 still applies to them and they are the lead car only needs to give a car width. This way, if you want to make a dive on the inside, you better know you will have to lead as well as be able to be at a slow enough speed as to not push the other off the track. Same with overtaking vehicles making dangerous maneuvers. Have all these be penalties and drivers will be much safer.
Has anyone noticed that we don't have the cool room cameras anymore? Always enjoyed that after the race especially the Hamilton and rosberg cap throwing moment
@@theahamedirshath it's unfortunate, it was nice to see the comments of the drivers after the race, as well as the reactions to incidents and passes etc
@@dorducky7679 yeah, there were a lot of cool moments from there (no pun intended) Seb's torpedo comment Clash between Fernando and massa The infamous Rosberg Lewis cap incident Verstappen given a penalty and being sent out of the room cause he lost the podium position (TWICE!!)

FIA: We need a special room with specific water bottles and specifics times for the ceremony. IMSA: Just drive that racecar up here with your father riding on the side waving a flag like a drunk lottery winner down pit road.
@4:57 "a suitable sound system" and then all hell breaks loose with laughter when matt mentions "and not a bluetooth speaker" now my dining table is cover with coca-cola and my spit!!!! very funny!! thanks for the great gag.
The strangest rule was when Schuhmacher got to be pushed out of the gravel because - at least that's what they stated - the position he got stuck was unsave and pushing him out would be faster than removing the car in a different way. IDK which GP that was, but I recall that several other drivers got stuck on other GPs and those weren't pushed out of the gravel, but had to retire the car.
if you watch the podiums for years (like I have) and then watch Nascar and Indy celes in Victory Lane (whatever goes is fine), you see the planning/choreography in the F1 podiums; so although did not know they were "rules" on paper, was obvious each podium was scripted precisely in F1.
One of the funniest things about the podium in my opinion is that every track has combinations of national anthems for every driver, so they just select the audio file called 'Max Verstappen' and the anthems of Netherlands and Austria play. But in Monaco the anthems are played live by the band of the Princes Guard, this means that the band has to learn and practice to play every single anthem combination possible. For example in 2022 they have to practice the chinese anthem in combination with the swiss one just in case Zhou Guanyu wins the race. Same goes for the anthems of Poland if Kubica is a substitute that might race if somebody else fails or Japan and Canada for Tsunoda, Latifi and Stroll. Edit: if I got the math right it's a total of 18 national anthems to be learned for the same day for only two of them to be played at the end.
You also can't stop in the pit lane holding up everyone behind you (because, for example, your teammate is in the pits and you don't want everyone overtaking you while you wait).
The trophies must resemble traditional cup trophies, eh? That must be news to Australian GP organisers, one of the instances of the mentioned "bending" of that rule -- their trophies were steering wheels for years on end, basically all the time the event was at Albert Park and sponsored by an airline.

Still does (although not at Giant Bomb). Check out Shift F1
Already knew the 4 driver rule, HRT used this in 2010 having Chandok, senna, yannamoto and klien
One interesting rule is that F1 drivers have to attend the media events when called. All of them. If they don't go to a single one, they're fined. There's no indication to how much that fine is, but when Ricciardo asked how much was it when he didn't want to do media last season, the response given was only "very high."
4:47" thanks for placing us at the top spot of the podium 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🔥🔥🔥
Fun fact slash promotion - the guy from The Blinking Guy Meme, used here at 05:08, Drew Scanlon, is a host of an F1 podcast as well, called Shift F1
The Champaign spray being part of the schedule is funny to me. It’s basically saying “your spontaneous fun may now commence”.
this already needs a part 2
Yeah its so weird you need a half decent sound system at tracks for a sport where the slow teams have an 80mil budget
3:07
It's 24 now in 2024 which is quite interesting
Learnt during Canada GP 2019. If you finish in the top three and don't go to the podium, you get disqualified. Seb didn't want to go, but his team convinced him to go to the podium
Well, now I need to see a comprehensive video about the podium rules.
Just what I needed after this day to make it a bit better. Formula video + listening to the music I like (Delta Parole, Metallica and other) make me feel the speed and excitement!
would be cool to have a rundown of next years car rules to see what loopholes we can find
You should do interesting rules from the 50s-70s
This should become a series. "Weird and whacky f1 rules ep 23"
2005 US Grand Prix would be legal because all cars started the formation lap but retired before start
I am a sucker for protocol, so I have to say the podium segment made me happy and comfortable.
This honestly could become a series.
Master of ceremonies is such a cool title!
I would love to see the livery rule changed. Still very recognisable team livery, but also a livery that you can see instantly which driver you're watching
Yeah I can never tell the difference between two cars of the same team - there should at least be a rule about, say, a driver identifier such that any camera angle can allow you to know who you're watching, unless theres another car between that car and the driver, of course.
Congratulations with your 3rd place in the championship Matt! 🥳
What F1 should do about their passing rules.
1 - The car that is not ahead is deemed to alongside once the front wheel makes it past the rear wheel of the lead car.
The leading car going into a corner must give a car width from the end point of the corner, or is considered at fault. The width applies to both the inside and outside of an apex, meaning once the rear car is ahead of the front cars rear wheel, the rear car also must apply to the same width when driving off the apex out of the corner.
Once the car that is not ahead is in this position, the lead car must not take that width away until safety past the car in back.
2. The car in the rear must be ahead prior to the apex in order for that vehicle to now be able to switch as the lead car.
Same rules as above now apply with apex car widths.
If the car in the rear does not get past prior to the apex, then rule 1 still applies to them and they are the lead car only needs to give a car width.
This way, if you want to make a dive on the inside, you better know you will have to lead as well as be able to be at a slow enough speed as to not push the other off the track.
Same with overtaking vehicles making dangerous maneuvers.
Have all these be penalties and drivers will be much safer.
The podiums rulee are more clear and precise than racing rules
This could be a series with several episodes!
Has anyone noticed that we don't have the cool room cameras anymore? Always enjoyed that after the race especially the Hamilton and rosberg cap throwing moment
I Think cool down rooms are not a thing anymore, we don't see the drivers go anywhere from the parc ferme.
@@theahamedirshath it's unfortunate, it was nice to see the comments of the drivers after the race, as well as the reactions to incidents and passes etc
@@dorducky7679 yeah, there were a lot of cool moments from there (no pun intended)
Seb's torpedo comment
Clash between Fernando and massa
The infamous Rosberg Lewis cap incident
Verstappen given a penalty and being sent out of the room cause he lost the podium position (TWICE!!)
Cool down room was a vibe man. You were right
Now it's just drivers fist bumping eachother 🥲
@@theahamedirshath they weren't allowed to do it because of covid. And for whatever reason they've not brought it back.
@@joeogle7729 Yeah I know that. I chose not to address the pandemic because it wasn't there in the 2019 season too. Correct me if I am wrong.
Lewis didn’t even show up to the prize giving ceremony
1:21 Hamilton doesn’t follow that one
More of these please 😊
FIA: We need a special room with specific water bottles and specifics times for the ceremony.
IMSA: Just drive that racecar up here with your father riding on the side waving a flag like a drunk lottery winner down pit road.
please make another video on this topic !
4:14 "Mark's on the floor" was a genuine touch of comedy genius.
4:59 *Putin flashbacks*
Benjamin Daly!!!!!! Congrats mate 😀
More videos about rules please!
reading the title of this video, I didn't expect so many obvious rules
I bet Matt and Ben drive for Aarava Archer Racing, which explains why they weren’t the top drivers
The rules are only confusing because they are different bases on who the driver is and who is winning the driver championship at the time.
@4:57 "a suitable sound system" and then all hell breaks loose with laughter when matt mentions "and not a bluetooth speaker" now my dining table is cover with coca-cola and my spit!!!! very funny!! thanks for the great gag.
The strangest rule was when Schuhmacher got to be pushed out of the gravel because - at least that's what they stated - the position he got stuck was unsave and pushing him out would be faster than removing the car in a different way. IDK which GP that was, but I recall that several other drivers got stuck on other GPs and those weren't pushed out of the gravel, but had to retire the car.
I was surprised by all of the aforementioned rules.
if you watch the podiums for years (like I have) and then watch Nascar and Indy celes in Victory Lane (whatever goes is fine), you see the planning/choreography in the F1 podiums; so although did not know they were "rules" on paper, was obvious each podium was scripted precisely in F1.
At the 2005 USA GP all cars started the race. They retired at the formation lap so the 12 car rule was not infringed.
1:25 ahem " RAMILTON"
One of the funniest things about the podium in my opinion is that every track has combinations of national anthems for every driver, so they just select the audio file called 'Max Verstappen' and the anthems of Netherlands and Austria play. But in Monaco the anthems are played live by the band of the Princes Guard, this means that the band has to learn and practice to play every single anthem combination possible. For example in 2022 they have to practice the chinese anthem in combination with the swiss one just in case Zhou Guanyu wins the race. Same goes for the anthems of Poland if Kubica is a substitute that might race if somebody else fails or Japan and Canada for Tsunoda, Latifi and Stroll.
Edit: if I got the math right it's a total of 18 national anthems to be learned for the same day for only two of them to be played at the end.
I’m sure the band of the princes guard has no problem preparing 18 national anthems.
They were probably praying for Norris or Ocon to win. One anthem, job done.
Strange that Hamilton has not been to the FIA ceremony although being second 🧐
You also can't stop in the pit lane holding up everyone behind you (because, for example, your teammate is in the pits and you don't want everyone overtaking you while you wait).
I don't think Hamilton accepted the "mandatory invitation" 😂
He payed the fine with a smile😅
The trophies must resemble traditional cup trophies, eh? That must be news to Australian GP organisers, one of the instances of the mentioned "bending" of that rule -- their trophies were steering wheels for years on end, basically all the time the event was at Albert Park and sponsored by an airline.
Attendance at the Gala is mandatory, you say?
it almost feels like somebody said wait f1 is too simple we need useless rules
cant beleive matt didnt put leclerc in the top 6
The Big Monke trophy is literally the best thing about the french gp at Paul Ricard
1 set of rules for Monaco and another for the rest 😜😜
