@@kenlykkeslett7501 more interesting than today. think of the engineering marvels that would used to create the insane tracks required. im surprised there has not been a no restriction series yet.
The Brabham Fan Car was neer banned. In fact, Gordon Murray has a letter from the FIA saying it was legal. They withdrew it because the other owners told Bernie they would quit F1 if he didn't end the program.
That makes no sense. Brawn won the whole season because of one innovation and people were complaining that it was boring. Now you are seeing the same with Mercedes, Red Bull before and Ferrari before it. This people is the exact reason why fans should never be making the rules. It's just knee jerk reactions.
6:18 “It shouldn’t be illegal, but because we’re not as good as they are we don’t want them racing unless we all get to copy them, but that’s to expensive, so just retire the car”
If the price is prohibitive to the rest of the teams, it creates a monopoly, not good for the sport. I know it's "unfair", but otherwise the sport would be boring with the same team winning everything always.
This video is missing the last 6 years, where it goes like this: - "Mercedes invented it and FIA approved it" - "Some other team invented it, Mercedes complained and FIA banned it"
Yes team can extract as much performance, from set off writen formula of rules. Not just outrageous innovation war which lead to whichever got the most money win and no small teams interested in competing. Loose regulation will just create wacky racing.
@@ardijanuar2036 These are not outrageous and more often than not, poor teams that are desperate get the most out of them. Tyrrell and Brawn for example.
@Yt_User#911 umm do you know how F1 works everyone but the big three are poor by comparison. So in my opinion these sneaky advantages leveled the playing field between rich and poor teams
The double diffuser and the mass damper were absolutely GENIUS innovations by small teams, and look at the results. Either the FIA or bigger teams' protests made it illegal.
As a novice to F1 I learned from this video that the governing body of F1 is primarily interested in limiting competition between the top tier teams and the mid tier teams. As soon as a mid tier team comes up with an innovation to get an edge on the top tier teams the governing body steps in due to influence by the top tier teams to outlaw these new innovations. As an engineer this practice seems competitively counterintuitive to the spirit of motorsports

@@ialexleb7245 he staunchly followed the engineers number one rule...if it loks right, it probably is...if it looks fast...ditto...the winglets didnt look fast to him...or me...he was right though
The FIA seems to think the way to revolutionize the sport and shake up the grid is to just redo the whole chassis every few years rather than letting teams just invent new things to keep things fresh. I guess it's because the FIA's interest is close racing but the constructors' interest is in constructor points. Those two things work against each other when it comes to establishing rules that allow inventive solutions but promotes wheel-to-wheel action.
Love it. Just imagine what we could have, had a few these developments and innovations been kept in the sport and given time to develop If we had today's F1 leadership in 1968 they probably would have banned downforce-generating wings altogether when Lotus first used downforce to gain an advantage
@@skyscall It's sad about the majority of the developments being banned, although I am happy to not have 6 or 8 wheeler F1 cars, that'd be way too bizarre.
@@MyFamilyFoodGarden lol I was thinking the same, but in the end I'd be like "ahhh hell, let's allow it to see what they come up with next". I mean they can always split the racing category in 2, normal and 20 wheelers lol

"The risk of ground effect causing cars to take off was high..." *shows a low speed wheel to wheel contact caused flight that ground effect would have nothing to do with*
With the Lotus 88 they had the right to ban it, since the outside chassis did move to adjust its height. As for why the original Team Lotus died, they just stopped being a competitive team. They lost the Honda engines for 1989, and from there, the team just became less and less competitive, despite having a young Mika Hakkinen in their line up for 1991 and 92. Hell in their last season in 94 they scored no points despite getting engines from Mugen-Honda.
Hugh Jass Hate Ferrari much?! Ferrari only complained about the 1 innovation (#6), bud(?). Other teams did their fair share of whining over other ideas too. Changing weight with water was flat-out cheating, while Alonso's driving ability was pure genius!?

@@jeokagem8002 Sooo if someone innovates and creates something nice. For their time, effort, money and genius the FIA just ban it so other teams don't spend time, effort and money? Makes sense...

I suggest that you should try to UNDERSTAND the comment/s better before you say something(?). I didn't mention ANYTHING about not innovating; of course, innovation is important - EXCEPT when it comes to flat-out cheating (like changing the weight of the car with water). My point was why is Hugh Jass singling out Ferrari when they are only guilty of complaining about 1 of the 10 items? He sounds like a Ferrari-hater. They are ALL guilty of complaining when they think another team has an unfair advantage, or if they think they can't catch up in time for that season. Finally, try to remember this in the future: "It is better to be quiet and be THOUGHT a fool than to speak out and dispell all doubt"
@@NicholasStrand If I recall Gran Turismo/Red Bull did the same with their X2014 fan car. Theoretically it was possible to build but would be almost impossible to drive due to the g-forces it was capable of.
@GamerFrancis TV I agree the halo is safe (albeit ugly), I just don't think the side wings were unsafe. heck, they banned bmw sauber's twin towers for the same 'obstructed visibility' reason, even though drivers didn't mind them any more than they mind the halo. just feels hypocritical of them, like visibility is the excuse they pull out of their hat when they don't like a creative solution.
Except most of these innovations were dangerous and/or impractical. For example, the skirts contributed to the down force so much that if it were to break the cars will suddenly lose a lot of grip & downfoce with the high probability of causing a crash. Another example is the weighted front wing. Weight is so important that eventually the teams would have probably removed it even if it wasn't banned
@@Akniy What are you even saying? The front wing is the most important aero element in the car because it is what dictates the flow of the rest of the whole car aerodynamics. If by dampening the vibrations you get a more stable front wing, you can tune it more precisely to move airflow and vortices to wherever you want, hence improving the performance of the car as a whole. More so when you have less downforce because you're running on a kerb at mid speed while cornering.
The 6 wheel cars are for sure some of my favorite outside of the box designs in motorsports. It's up there with the stuff they were doing in can-am and group b.
A random team: (creates an innovation that greatly enhances the car's performance) FiA: "It is... acceptable" That random team: (wins once with the car) FiA: *Excuse me what the fu-"*
@@KnockKnockNeo except the rulebook didnt say no. Remember the part of the video that said "WITH FIA PERMISSION they fitted the system to the rear of the car aswell".
It would, quite simply, not be as fun. Have a look at the Can-Am cup in its early years. Eventually they started having to ban the innovations that Jim Hall from Chaparral Cars was coming up with, since his cars were consistently winning by entire laps. Chief among them included Fan-Cars and Active Aerodynamics, both of which are banned in most forms of racing.
Nowhere near as far as we are now tbh. Half of these innovations were only made because other things which were easier were banned. You'd never have the F-duct if active aero was still legal. Things like X-wings wouldn't be put on cars if ground effect skirts were still legal. Renault's tuned mass damper wouldn't be necessary if you could just have active suspension. Mclaren's 2nd brake pedal is also unnecessary if you have electronic stability control that can brake each wheel individually without driver input. Most of the time an innovation gives you one year of dominance and then it's either banned or copied by everyone else. The point is to force teams to continuously invent new things, not coast off one successful innovation for years.
@@jitendragarg what about the mass dampers? The double diffuser? The mass damper reduces the vibration of the car and makes it easier and safer to drive. The double diffuser increases the downforce. I don't see anything bad about it
The f-duct may have been banned, but its effect of stalling airflow over the rear wing to reduce drag was the inspiration behind the DRS system added the following year.
"It's been a whole less than a year since you've won a championship, and we aspire to parity. We only want you winning the championship no less than 6 times in a row."
I could understand if any other team than redbull or ferrari complained and they banned it. but it was those two, with equivalent budget, that complained first, and they knew what merc was doing beforehand, and did not bother to create a similar contraption.
@@bluevayero7269 well with or without das Mercedes wouldve still won.Maybe max would have second place in the WDC but they would've still won the constructors
This could be said of any motorsport series, really. Any innovation that might upset the inverted pyramid of rich teams staying on top while spending as little as possible usually dies on the vine before it can be fully developed.
@@nasseralkhelaifi1853 nah first reason why mirror attached on halo because driver comfort first then everybody complaining it because winglet and mirror instead installed at the halo so yeah, that also counted as taking aero advantage too from winglet at halo
To say “they called it a tuned mass damper” is somewhat misleading. TMDs has been used in ships, skyscrapers, and other structures for decades before they developed for F1
@@Skorpychan Because you do, just not to the extent of damping the entire suspension. You just can't have one in an F1 car, because tech that's been used in regular family sedans isn't allowed on race cars!
Long story short: Technical advances were always the one thing that helped small budget teams against the big ones. The last time this happened was with Brawn GP. It happened again after that with RedBull but they never had a small budget so I don't count that. But after that, the FIA began to over-regulate and so I never looked a race again because it was boring. I really wish the FIA wouldn't regulate so much and give the teams more freedom. I also wish there would be once again more than one tire company to make the competition even more interesting once again as it was with Pirelli and Bridgestone. Booth had positive and negative aspects in corners, long straights, rain, dry etc. The same goes for the different motors. Maybe one day the FIA and F1 will learn that over-regulating and commercialization did indeed destroyed everything racing stands for.
Basically, everytime a designer or engineer came up with a fantastic design, FIA banned it. Supposedly the pinnacle of motorsport denies innovation....because of politics
IDK why people would still think of F1 as the pinnacle of motorsports anymore it was back in the day. But now its just the racing league with the most money.

The double diffuser and the mass damper were absolutely GENIUS innovations by small teams, and look at the results. Either the FIA or bigger teams' protests made it illegal.
As a novice to F1 I learned from this video that the governing body of F1 is primarily interested in limiting competition between the top tier teams and the mid tier teams. As soon as a mid tier team comes up with an innovation to get an edge on the top tier teams the governing body steps in due to influence by the top tier teams to outlaw these new innovations. As an engineer this practice seems competitively counterintuitive to the spirit of motorsports

Actual title: "How the FIA actively, regularly and consistently keeps innovation down in F1"
The FIA seems to think the way to revolutionize the sport and shake up the grid is to just redo the whole chassis every few years rather than letting teams just invent new things to keep things fresh.
I guess it's because the FIA's interest is close racing but the constructors' interest is in constructor points. Those two things work against each other when it comes to establishing rules that allow inventive solutions but promotes wheel-to-wheel action.
FIAs tagline.
"F1: Where Innovation comes to die."
Love it. Just imagine what we could have, had a few these developments and innovations been kept in the sport and given time to develop
If we had today's F1 leadership in 1968 they probably would have banned downforce-generating wings altogether when Lotus first used downforce to gain an advantage

Back then FIA was super stupid to change rules even before the car had chance to race. I think thats what ruined Classic Team Lotus
With the Lotus 88 they had the right to ban it, since the outside chassis did move to adjust its height. As for why the original Team Lotus died, they just stopped being a competitive team. They lost the Honda engines for 1989, and from there, the team just became less and less competitive, despite having a young Mika Hakkinen in their line up for 1991 and 92. Hell in their last season in 94 they scored no points despite getting engines from Mugen-Honda.
Say it with me.
"After Ferrari complained, the FIA banned the innovation."

@@Benlucky13 And there was a clip of one of the wings being ripped off in the pit lane. Not exactly very safe.
So there was reason to ban it
The end
For now....
The FiA is why Formula 1 is struggling to be interesting anymore
Except most of these innovations were dangerous and/or impractical.
For example, the skirts contributed to the down force so much that if it were to break the cars will suddenly lose a lot of grip & downfoce with the high probability of causing a crash.
Another example is the weighted front wing. Weight is so important that eventually the teams would have probably removed it even if it wasn't banned
@@Akniy What are you even saying? The front wing is the most important aero element in the car because it is what dictates the flow of the rest of the whole car aerodynamics. If by dampening the vibrations you get a more stable front wing, you can tune it more precisely to move airflow and vortices to wherever you want, hence improving the performance of the car as a whole. More so when you have less downforce because you're running on a kerb at mid speed while cornering.

Imagine how far we could have come with racing and car technology had the FIA not banned anything...
It would, quite simply, not be as fun.
Have a look at the Can-Am cup in its early years. Eventually they started having to ban the innovations that Jim Hall from Chaparral Cars was coming up with, since his cars were consistently winning by entire laps. Chief among them included Fan-Cars and Active Aerodynamics, both of which are banned in most forms of racing.
Nowhere near as far as we are now tbh. Half of these innovations were only made because other things which were easier were banned. You'd never have the F-duct if active aero was still legal. Things like X-wings wouldn't be put on cars if ground effect skirts were still legal.
Renault's tuned mass damper wouldn't be necessary if you could just have active suspension. Mclaren's 2nd brake pedal is also unnecessary if you have electronic stability control that can brake each wheel individually without driver input. Most of the time an innovation gives you one year of dominance and then it's either banned or copied by everyone else. The point is to force teams to continuously invent new things, not coast off one successful innovation for years.
@@jitendragarg what about the mass dampers? The double diffuser? The mass damper reduces the vibration of the car and makes it easier and safer to drive. The double diffuser increases the downforce. I don't see anything bad about it
@@limdaoyuan7218 to much downforce can cause a huge problem

@@Skorpychan Because you do, just not to the extent of damping the entire suspension. You just can't have one in an F1 car, because tech that's been used in regular family sedans isn't allowed on race cars!
Long story short: Technical advances were always the one thing that helped small budget teams against the big ones. The last time this happened was with Brawn GP. It happened again after that with RedBull but they never had a small budget so I don't count that. But after that, the FIA began to over-regulate and so I never looked a race again because it was boring.
I really wish the FIA wouldn't regulate so much and give the teams more freedom. I also wish there would be once again more than one tire company to make the competition even more interesting once again as it was with Pirelli and Bridgestone. Booth had positive and negative aspects in corners, long straights, rain, dry etc. The same goes for the different motors.
Maybe one day the FIA and F1 will learn that over-regulating and commercialization did indeed destroyed everything racing stands for.
