- The 2023 Formula one season is approaching much faster than you think. The pre season test happens in Bahrain at the end of February and then following Sunday, at the start of March, it will be lights out and away we go for the season opener. 2022 was a season of huge upheaval due to the massive technical regulation changes and in comparison 2023 won’t be quite so dramatic. Don’t let that fool you into thinking nothing is going to change though as there are some big rules changes that will have a massive impact on the sport. Stick with me to find out everything you need to know in the lead up to the 2023 season.

Cool
Thank you mate!
I think the exposed carbon is beautiful on the cars. It's not just slabs of black all over the car. They integrate it into the paint work very cleverly. Williams in particular.
Couldnt agree more, these cars especially are very futuristic looking. Very sleek and organic almost. The use of plain carbon, paint and decals have made for some very cool adaptation in liveries!
So agree
Agreed
+1
That's because they can't afford the paint 🤣🤭
The exposed carbon was cool to see since its a product of this seasons regulation changes, but shouldn't become the norm. F1 Livery is part of the identity of the sport, and the teams should have more freedom to experiment with the look of their cars, being forced to reduce weight by stripping livery hinders the visual identity of the teams.
Agreed. People remember significant cars by their livery. Such as the JPS Lotus, the blue and white ELF Williams and even the Red Bull livery.
Completely agree.
Someone mentions Ferrari, most people think of Marlboro/Shell ones from 98 to 2007, with that specific colour.
Someone mentions McLaren, it's either the Prost/Senna era white and red Marlboro one or the Coulthard/Hakkinen/Raikkonen white, gray and black Mclaren Mercedes West.
Someone mentions Williams, it's either the Rothmans blue, yellow and white from the 90s or the blue and white HP one from the 00s.
Someone mentions Renault, it's the blue and yellow Mild Seven one.
Someone mentions Red Bull, it's that red bull of theirs with some combination of blue, yellow and purple.
Someone mentions Lotus, it's the John Player Special black and yellow one.
Liveries are indeed important to the sport.
so maybe make a new rule that paint job is not to be included in the weight?
Mercedes were told last year that they could fix their porposing issues by raising their ride height but they refused and complained about the problem that they had created
Yeah. They would have been the only one who raised their height to fix the issue. Now everyone on the grid must comply, even those that have already fixed propoising ages ago. Way to go merc. Yay!😕😕😤
yeah, world class engineers and mechanics couldn't possible figure out raising the car was THE solution, and nothing else. you sound like a clown
@@_mark_787 So the FIA and multiple teams all saying the Merc needed to raise their ride hide to avoid damaging their drivers backs is me being a clown? or do you just not know how to have a discussion like an adult?
@qwertyrobbo101 trying going back and reading all the Implementations they did to mitigate the problem, including your simple genius solution.
.
What you enjoy is picking only whats relevant to your truth, instead of the whole scope. Thats why you're a clown
@@_mark_787 I can also go back to the point where they ignored the 'simple solution' and Lewis got out of the car barely able to walk. Given that by this point all of the other teams had resolved the issue, but Merc keep demanding a rule change rather than looking inwardly (a rule change that they've now got). Of course you know that though right, you just keep throwing names and insults out there because you know your argument can stand on its own right?!
Overall, I like the changes. The fixed tyre option for qualifying should prove interesting. If there were more points on the sprint races would make drivers want to go for it, instead of taking the safe option.
I'm not convinced with fixed tyres bc now you have to tailor the setup for the Hard tyre even if it's a bad race tyre, or you won't get to Q2 (unless you're a team with a dominant car, so this widens the gap)
@@SordoBjorn you could be right. On the other hand, some teams will concentrate setup on q2 as they not be sure of getting to q1. I think it's not totally straight forward. We will see.
One rule F1 must change is the points.
They must give points to ALL 20 cars in the race. If a car does not race or finish = 0 points.
That will make the batle for position 11 to 20 worthwhile.
Doesn’t make any difference. As like 12-18th no one really cares. It’s all about the top 3 etc
@@brentt8940 Well they would care if points were being allocated all the way down like Nascar.
Top 15 like motogp would be good.
@@brentt8940 It will matter because finishing 17 vs 19 in the WDC comes with a different payout. I think it's a good idea.
Not a terrible idea. Something like 1point for 20th to 10points for 11th...then 3 bonus points for 10th to 4th (14points for 10th to 20 points for 4th). 6 point bonus for 3rd - 27 points...8 point bonus for 2nd - 30points...12 point bonus for 1st - 35points.
So wait, instead of reducing the number of tires available, you force teams to run hards in Q1 because it’s more cost effective for Pirelli? That literally makes zero sense to me. Maybe it’s just me, someone please explain.
… the Las Vegas isn’t on the 28th November - it’s the 18th
Is it still on a saturday?
@@lxlime8095 yep
@@lxlime8095 what ????? The race is on Saturday???
Fancy seeing you here Graeme.
Better take what this channel says with a grain of salt cuz a lot of stuff they’ve published have been wrong without any sort of edits about it either in the comments, description or other videos. So yeah I’d say prbly check somewhere else also and don’t trust them too much
Horrible that merc controls them. Such a shame.
If Merc controlled them, Masi wouldnt of broke the rules.
@@CristanioPeweyyy please live in reality, the fia and masi handed merc multiple titles.
We are going to add more races and sprint races while expecting the teams to spend less
The new DRS after 1 lap will be very interesting! Also very interested to see how the Q1, Q2, Q3; hard, medium, soft compounds will change quali. Makes it a much more interesting quali, the drivers will have to prove they’re good on all compounds to have a chance of pole!
i had no idea about teh qualoi change it sounds good
@@niampatel9115 it was brought up very briefly close to the end of the season, I like this idea could lead up to a few interesting Grid lineup for race day
DRS after one lap could definitely spice up the race a little more if it is possible to get the tires up to safe operating temperature.
Apart from benefiting the tire manufacturer, deliberately compromising qualifying results by forcing teams to run with tires that are not suited to the car or the track is extremely unfair and could cause major setup / safety problems for the teams while being forced to run on tires not suited to the car or the track.
Now if they take away DRS for P1 it will almost there.
The FIA always caves to pressure. Does anyone think that it is a coincidence that the head of the FIA is a Saudi and the major sponsor is Saudi Aramco.
The head of the FIA isn't a Saudi Arabian national. You are right, the FIA always caves to pressure but that's been the case since the start, Sulayem is a UAE national.
Bin Suleyem is emirati not Saudi 🤣
@@5kaylen same shit
@@stivndini1957the same way someone says they visited England when it was actually Scotland? Or refer to anywhere in the UK as London. Sure..
@@stivndini1957 tell me you're racist without telling me you're racist...
the drs after 1 lap is a massive change ,normally takes a lead driver two or more laps to build the 1 sec barrier
THIS
It penalizes pole sitters but it should make for better racing. To get ahead of that DRS means pole sitter will need to push the tires when they’re still cold impacting their longevity. If not, DRs comes into play right away
Only in sprint races. Maybe to assess it first.
The Sprint's are good as they are, limited and not at every race. 3 was great to introduce, 6 sounds like the perfect spot to keep it, with alternating tracks each season.
Tires: Q1 hard tires - Q2 Medium tires - Q3 Soft. Or switch Q1 and Q3 around…
I think they picked the perfect circuits for sprints. Spa is a really amazing circuit and exiting overtaking opportunity’s. COTA also provide great races. Same with Red Bull Ring and Interlagos. I think these changes to f1 is a good thing.
The DRS activation was favoring some drivers last season, as the stewards would activate it after a couple of laps sometimes while waiting more than 10 laps in some races.
This just in ! New rule changes result in less passing, fewer position changes, and even more boring (if possible) racing. All passing will now be performed at the start, in the first turn, or in the pits. Funny how the more things change the more they stay the same....
NONE of what you said will come to pass with the new rules in any way
@@timothymartin2137 wanna bet ?
It's unbelievable to see the lengths the FIA will go to destroy the most important aspects on F1 racing..... 'fine tuning the car for maximum performance & safety'.
As the pinnacle of global motor sport, the FIA has forced F1 teams to add unnecessary expense and to compromise the essential 'fine tuning' needed to perfect the cars performance for the race by:
1) Introducing 'Sprint races' which does very little to improve the F1 fan experience as the leading teams can't risk having a major accident / mechanical failure just before the race.
2) Introducing compulsory use of tires that do not complement their car's setup for a specific track, just to help the tire manufacture make heaps more money?
3) Regulating the car design to compromise efficiency in order to favor one team's floored design. Porposing was created by each team's car's design engineers and should be left to each team to eliminate the problem. Yes!!! The FIA must address this major 'driver safety' issue but should limit it's control by imposing constructors penalty points & possible race disqualification if problem is not resolved to standards set by team agreement.
As F1 fans, let's appeal to 'Liberty media' to restore the true essence of F1 racing back to our sport.
Are the FIA a bunch of individuals that have actually raced in F1, or are they just people who set rules? If the former, think they need to really see the rules from a holistic view and from a drivers perspective; the latter doesn't take that into account and only sees rules as just that - there to be obeyed/ followed. It's not a regimented sport and there should be fluidity in the execution of rules; some need to stick ( eg cheating ) other require common sense ( eg tyre use/ safety cars, etc ). Just a thought
@@lifeslooker Unfortunately F1 has evolved into a media controlled sport. That brings some excellent features but it also means that they can force our amazing sport to accept pointless add on's (eg Sprint races - let's face it, The cost does not just justify the spectacle or the impact on race day)!
Your thoughts make a lot of sense and could be interpreted in so many ways but my objection was focused on the forced sprint races and the forced tire use which has a major, negative impact on F1 race day performance & setup.
@@midas7394 the sprint races actually benefit the teams as then they know where they need to improve. Ok, I get the social aspects, but there’s loads of money involved in this sport. Fact. Especially the advertising. It’s nuts. But let’s see what happens…
@@lifeslooker I don't believe the leading teams are risking everything to win a sprint race. In addition, Sprint races will effect the F1 race s they lose essential setup before the race. Another very important factor to consider is that, when F1 fans / reporters review the season, most of us ignore the Sprint race results as they are not that important.
Yes! The sprint race cost RBR another potential 1 - 2 finish as the sprint race did not allow them to get the car setup dialed in properly (In that race only, RBR lost 30km in top speed.
@@lifeslooker I don't really care about the rules and changes as the FIA changes rules mid season just to help out a bunch of idiots that don't understand ground effect. The sport is going down the drain...
I really like the new tyre rules for Quali, that will prove extremely interesting i think. Very excited for 2023. Come on McLaren!!!!!
Charles, Max, Lewis, George and Lando will be huge standouts based on just that alone.
I can't be alone when I say that, we DO NOT give a flying fu** about Pirelli and them acting like demand for tires over the course of the weekend is too much all of a sudden. They can give that FIA contract over to somebody else then, they already almost lost it last season. The whole point is to see how each team does their quali or practice VIA THEIR STRATEGY. Now every team does the exact same thing I swear the people running this sport are unreal. Don't even get me started on the pointless sprint races, I get that it's cool to see. Most drivers all agree though that your not going to do anything that could jeopardize the race the next day and your starting position so that leaves 0 interest in it for them. It use to be the drivers are mentally prepared that Sunday is race day, mentally this is a big deal.
You make a good point there. There were times where people sacrificed quali lap times and saved new softs for the race which would benefit them. With this change it’ll be very similar strategies from everyone. However I do like the idea of having to prove you can drive the best on all 3 compounds
you arent getting it..they waste rubber MASSIVELY...and the changes they are making would not hinder racing but spice it up by making tire use mandatory (show you can really drive...manage the shit tires also)
@@Will49. That last part you mentioned I for sure agree with, at least the drivers get a equal chance to shine.
@@jihnfab8957 yeah for sure, will make it interesting!
so basically fia made at least a change to help one team who was underachieving last year... interesting how fia helps a specific team. nice!
I don't mind sprint races, but I kind of think that if a driver gets any grid penalty(during qualifying or changing parts) that it takes effect after the sprint race.
The problem with Saturday sprint races is the television coverage. For normal viewing (non-paid tv subscribers) it’s rarely covered by ABC or ESPN.
drop the sprint races, Boring and greater risk of car damage.
Get rid of the sprint races or boost the financial cap.
I don't understand how people found grid penalties so complicated. You literally just add x number of grid spaces onto their qualifying result; back of the grid puts you behind and number of grid penalties. The more than 15 grid penalty putting you at the back seems unfair and honestly more complicated.
WHat is going to happen to qualy if its raining, do they get to choose betweeen inters and full wets(even though no one wants to use them)?
why is there a reduction in cost cap! we are getting more and more races and sprint races FIA really need to rethink the cost cap maybe 200 or 180 and sprint races anywhere but interlagos is just mid imo
Ya I agree. And with inflation and more races. I could do without the sprint races. They honestly feel unneeded. I don’t want to see them trying to push stuff too many new ideas like nascar did.
Increasing the cap to 180 or 200 will just leave the smaller teams behind again.
At $140 mil, teams can still operate, they just need to work at being as cost effective as they can.
As per the Formula 1 website, the Las Vegas Grand Prix is scheduled for November 16 to 18, 2023.
Yeah why is this guy saying 28 November
Don’t understand why there are more Sprint races and a reduction in budget! At the very least all damage costs from crashes during a race should be excluded from the budget! There is no reason to penalise teams with extra costs when this is random and less likely to be the fault of teams at the front of the grid.
Also more races should result in increase in the budget especially in these inflationary times!! Obviously designed to penalise front running teams again!
Uhm, yeah, penalising front running teams is a good thing. Wouldn't you want to see more than 3 teams with a chance of winning races? Totally agree with the crashes part though, maybe it's hard to regulate what the line would be between damages and upgrades.
I think there should be a crash and damage allowance amount that goes over the cap. So it doesn't penalize for accidents out of your control, but if your driver consistently bins it and is a danger to others, then it'll impact the amount you can spend on the cap after the damage allowance runs out.
@@Reyrocksall they could also make the team at fault for the crash pay for it unless it was deemed as a racing incident
They won’t penalize Mercedes they need their money 💰
@@Reyrocksall works well in theory. However.. Say Max needs a new Power Unit and Checo accidently side swipes him... Boom... New engine, no costs, and best of all.. No grid penalties?
I don’t like sprint races.
Also does the new tyre regs for qualifying just mean that a lower team cannot mix it up by using soft tyres when others are saving them? Therefore we’ll get less surprises during qualifying?
The Las Vegas Gp is on the 18 of November, not the 28
I like the change to the qualifying. However, maybe make it so the teams who go out in Q1 do not have to change tyre compound during the race. Would any team risk starting that far down the grid just to get using the fastest tyre for the whole race?
Brilliant idea with qualifying, some cars really don't like the hard tyre even the top teams can struggle with them so should give the others more hope ,,,HOPEFULLY,,,
The tyre regulations seemed the best of them all. This should bring less tempermentality to the setups in general. Having a rocket on Super Softs now needs to clear Q1 on hards.
the more interesting this is for the bottom teams usually would use there softs up in Q1 just to try and get to Q2. now they will have softs for the race if they want to use them
Don’t think you can use a quali set in the race. The same for free practice session, let’s say you miss one day for whatever reason, the tires for that day are lost, you don’t get to use them on Friday or the race because you didn’t use them
I wish that fueling and old tyres comes back in future
Should have been all 3 compounds during the race, two stops in every race, mix up that tire strategy. All 3 compounds in quali, with everyone on the same tires won't change much, the top teams will still be faster.
Hate the sprint races, too much jeopardy with little reward. Would be better if a mandatory pit stop was implemented
Having set a revised budget cap of $137.4 million, what is missing is a clear understanding of what the penalty will be for exceeding the budget cap. No doubt they are sticking to the current Smörgåsbord menu of possible penalties and leaving it to some horse trading behind closed doors and basing any penalties on who it is and what they have to lose.
What are the chances of Las Vegas being less like Baku and another Monaco Saturday qualifying time trial, followed by a Sunday processional parade?
I hate the rules for proposing it was done because one team was bitching.
It shows the front maker teams have too much pull.
Remember the 107% qualify rule?
That as brought in to get rid of the slower teams, ie backmarkers.
FIA using "Safety Grounds" is a blanket term that they can use to justify a rule change,
Other teams had a handle on it, they FIA could've just said "Fix it" or dont race to that team
The 107% rule made perfect sense as this was from a time where private people were entering races with cars which were far too slow. Remember that the stewards could allow a car > 107% to car .. i.e. if a driver that would normally quality within this time lost out due to a crash / rain etc. I agree with the porposing rule changes .. let Merc fix their car, not break everyone elses
The purposing “issue” was solved by favoring those players who couldn’t figure it out.
precisely and especially because 1 drama queen supposedly suffered from the back.
Sprint races ought to be a different thing to Grand Prix. It's like having T20 and Test matches in the same tournament.
If the tyre options for qualifying are fixed does that mean the teams will have the choice which of tyres to start the race on?
It's obvious that there should have been no interference relating to the porpoising in the first place........ amounts to cheating by Mercedes. Don't like the sprint races at all, it interferes with the whole process of preparation for the GP on Sunday.
Porpoising wasn’t a risk to health and safety at all, it was poor engineering by certain terms. It was easily cured by raising the ride height but, Mercedes didn’t want to do this as it slowed the car. Conversely Red Bull have always run their cars higher than anyone else especially at the rear. So, by managing the raised ride height played more into RB’s hands than anyone else. Yea again Mercedes we’re whining but hurt themselves more.
FIA could have sorted bouncing by banning teams from racing if their cars bounced. Red Bull didn’t and nobody else would have done either, all they had to do was rise the ride height.
I’m split on sprints. I don’t think they should reward points. Maybe they should only shake up the starting order for Sunday. I also don’t like that’s there’s no strategy, pit related. But they are usually pretty good races.
Porpoising did came back to Mercedes like a boomerang, they were one of the cars closest to ground, that’s also where they got their speed from in the last races, now they have to rise the floor, while RB can even go lower.
Can someone explain the spending cap please? More races, more sprints but reduced spending...
Consider/discuss: Grid for the Sprint AND the main race to be determined by Friday qually results. Penalties to be applied on main race grid. Pro: Accidents during sprint race don't ruin Sunday. Con: If you are not in the top 8, you can put-put around or retire your car to save the power train
The sprint races confuse me timewise lol. I like more track drama. i keep forgetting which races have sprints so I sit down to watch quali and its a sprint - d’oh!
here just a idea..why dont they have a small lightweight 4k dashcam put into the halo bar so you can see the back and bothside all you have to do it look up rather that moving your head to look.. like a helmet cam.. that way you dont need wingmirrors at the side and you have less drag at the side that way you have more high speed.. that way you move the same amount of weight above you
My wife and I hate the sprint races it puts far to much strain on all the cars and the teams budgets for the year, practice qualifying and racing is always been the norm so why change it.
The FIA should have finded/banned cars that bounced too much to protect drivers and that about as far as it should have done.
Wherever happens ...Please no more Drama.
(Lewi...cough hamilt..cough)
Sprints are fun, but they could be improved by keeping them in line with the normal Q1-Q3 process. Run Q1, lose the slowest 5. Run Q2, lose the slowest 5. Those 10 start the GP in P11-P20. They don't sprint. The 10 cars that passed Q2 start the sprint in their Q2 order, and the sprint finishing order becomes the GP P1-P10 starting order. The sprint replaces Q3, and performs the same function as Q3, but under race conditions.
I think this change would punish slower teams, because they wouldn't get change to get up in the field in the sprint
This is a silly idea. Do you really think the top teams will want to place the extra stress on their race cars for 6 sprints whilst the slowest teams do not? This is not very well thought out, sorry bud…..
I think F1 should adopt the same as v8 super cars in Australia for qualifying.
Q1,2 are the same. When it comes to Q3 they have a top 10 shootout. 1 lap no other cars on track. And to make it fairer the highest qualifier in Q2 gets to pick where they want place to run in Q3 and so in till the 10th position gets the last slot. This could be tactical due to weather track temp etc.
Much more exciting.
Possible mirrors can twists and increase grip and sterring
I don't get the tyre argument for qualifications. Less Waste? that rings fishy to me, there has to be something else. We're going to see less spectacular Q1/Q2 as a result, it's dumb. Imagine a damp track, drying. How are Q1 drivers supposed to manage that with hards?
As for sprints, I yet don't see the point. Yeah it's nice in the principle to have that 1/3rd of a race, but the lack of action really isn't doing it any favour. If anything make it the same as F2/F3 format, at least: inverted grid for the 10 1st drivers in the sprint, quali order for the rest (of the pack and the week-end)
While the drivers health and safety is the most important thing, the ride height ruling I find to be a bit OTT, I think the ruling should be if the car is considered to be bouncing too much said car will be forced to the pits to make changes in practice or be disqualified if it happens in qualiy or the race
The only thing that caused the bouncing was the teams set-up, every team had the option to prevent it, but some teams cried 'safety' because they didn't want to be penalised for doing a worse job of engineering their car than the rest of the field, when in fact the only people creating a safety issue was themselves! If they were so worried about the effect on their drivers they could have dialed out the bouncing while they learned how to eliminate it completely, but they instead schemes to have EVERYONE ELSE pegged back while they did so.
It's like RedBull demanding a speed limit be applied for safety reasons because they have messed up the design of their brakes and can't slow the car quickly enough, and simply say 'but it's a safety issue, everyone needs to comply' any time anyone suggests they drive more slowly until they fix the issue that only affects them!
@@steveflatman hence why I said the said car(s) should be forced to change the set-up if it happens in practice or be qualified if it happens in qualiy or race,
That way the team(s) that set-up made the bouncing too much get punished I say this as a Merc fan,
But instead the FIA took the easy route
I still think they need to get rid of the DRS system for a push-to-pass system like Indycar uses... At least allows you to use it to be aggressive to pass or defensive if you have saved some up, but have a limited amount of time for the whole race. I hate that there is no way of defending on some tracks once a car is in DRS.
Nice thanks for the breakdown 😁👍🏼
The budget cap needs to go up to 150 mil. That will help a few teams run away from the rest and help the back teams get closer to the middle.
The fia caving to merc. Noooo I don't believe that.
Anyway that makes racing safer and more exciting is a massive bonus,
The mandatory use of hard in Q1, medium in Q2 and soft in Q3 is something that I hopped for for the last 10 years.
So teams will jst do one lap on hard and then switch right back to their prefarred compound. Thats wat i wud do🙄
@@michealoluwafemi4145 More like this :
Q1 : MANDATORY use of ONLY the hard compound. NO other compound allowed.
Q2 : MANDATORY use of ONLY the medium compound. Again, NO other compound allowed.
Q3 : MANDATORY use of the soft compound.
@@Kualinar that would only make it even more boring. Before backmarkers and midfielders could use their softer compound to edge through Q1 and disrupt the order thereby forcing stronger teams to think twice, but now stronger team will always be in front and weaker teams behind. Success will only be determined by drivers skill and machinery. The thrill of seeing a lesser car qualify due to tire strategy has been taken away. U understand?
@@michealoluwafemi4145 As I initially said, I was hopping for that format for around 10 years BEFORE the FIA actually made it mandatory.
Like it or not, that's the rule for the qualification for this season.
What’s the point of qualifying if your just gonna lose it on a sprint race, I feel they should go back to the way they did them in 2018
I like the Idea of the sprint races, but tbh they lack the tactical component. A manditory stop without tyre change could make things more intresting.
Might as well just scrap ground effect in its entirety, cars are slowly going to get slower and slower until they do since they keep raising the skirt edge height
Several years ago there was talk of multiple teams leaving F1 to form their own separate series. What happened to that?
You missed the change for the tyre blankets.
How will the Q1, Q2 and Q3 pan out if one session is wet? This sounds like a stupid idea to me.
If there are fixed tyre compounds for qualifying, does this imply free tyre choice for the race? This looks to likely make qualifying static and predictable; the top teams have cars that pass Q1/Q2 on the harder compounds whilst the rest resort to the softest tyre to keep up, which will no longer be the case.
Mercedes making rules for them. The porpoising was their issue and everyone else solved it. They just needed to be 15mm higher, but that would have made them mid grid all season.
Not sure why they are tightening the budget cap while at the same time increasing the amount of races as well as sprint races.
F1 used to be the apex of engineering, with these caps its soon to be the apex of accounting.
How does the tyre change reduce Waste? They still use the same amount even if they use different compunds? Pretty new to f1 so this is probably a stupid question but gotta learn somehow :)
Nice reaction time! Now that all the teams have fix the bouncing / porpoising, let's make a new rule change to see how that'll pan out
FIA must do anything on water puddle on tracks. Driver can't see anything and so as the audience. All tracks who have possibility of raining must be renovate to ensure water quickly drained off the track.
I loved the carbon. I think Williams had one of the coolest-looking cars because of it.
+1
Surely porpoising would not have been a problem if testing time hadn't been restricted, because it would have become apparent earlier?
I don't like that some teams also use only matte paint to save weight. Especially during night races it looks boring.
Many which I didn't knew, especially that DRS
Love the sprint races
Sprint races should be awarding points for every car finishing with said points going to Teams only.
This would allow teams to try other drivers, if desired, to test under race conditions.
The change of 'mindset' would be refreshing!
Positions of cars at finish would define grid positions, giving teams the option of allocating driver of choice to either car for Sunday's race.
Tactics & driver skills in a new format!
You know it makes sense!!!
If the FIA really wants to make the race exciting, the winner of the sprint would start at the back of the grid but get a points multiplier as a result making their race more about gaining positions and less about running away from the pack and making the race boring as fuck. If first got 2x, 2nd got 1.9x, and so on, and so on, there would be more reason to build a race car and not a just sprint car that only even has to deal with blue flags and quali.
With these changes, I was surprised that the possible changing of engines allocations was not in the works? The words I remember hearing in 2022 was, with the additional races maybe 1 or 2 additional engines would be a wise move, or at least not penalizing the driver because engines were a team thing not a driver thing? hmmmmmm
Please help me understand the revised "more than 15 cumulative grid position penalties..will start behind any other classified driver." How will this look when there are multiple drivers with more than 15 cumulative grid position penalties?
Aren't they also getting rid of the tire warmers? Making driver's have to warm their tire's on track themselves.
I didn’t like the bare look of the cars, when we finally got to the grid. But the teams showed that they could get to the weight limit without the drastic step of reducing their livery. I understand it was an easy weight reduction and why many teams chose to do that. I’m really interested to see what the change to quali and tyres does. Excited to see more sprint races. The drivers seem to be much more fired up for the race after a sprint race.
One element that they still haven't latched onto yet regarding the DRS. Yes, great after just one lap following a restart but also the one that they NEED to add it that all cars get DRS [EXCEPT] the car in the lead.
What this means is that the leader can be catching back markers and as they are within 1 second they also get DRS. This is so stupid!! The Lead Car should NEVER have DRS Available to them.
What doe anyone else think?
Why the mirrors anent use for ballance the bolid and air movments ?
Sprint races are overkill as it adds nothing to a real F1 weekend.
Sprint races need to go. They just take the qualifying order and put the pack into the order of how fast the cars are. Then on Sunday Race you have the cars rotating in their natural position. Making Sundays boring.
Essentially they are the first 20 laps of Sundays race but extra cautious because no one wants to take risks.
I still think that sprintraces would be more intresting if the sprintrace was a reversegrid and doesnt effekt the positions for the real race.
Unpopular opinion: Every driver should get points on sprint races.
It wasn’t mentioned how the porpoising could affect the health of the drivers. The FIA was in a catch 22 situation, if it was ignored and the problem persisted and in time there turned out to be health issues contributed to porpoising then the FIA would have been criticised and potentially held liable.
Why wasn’t this very important fact mentioned. 🤷♂️
I hate sprint weekends
I find the sprint races spoil the weekend, for me.
They should not influence the starting grid. Fastest qualifier should start the race in pole
I reckon super-pole is the best qualifying format.
It's fun, fair and only uses one set of tyres.
It has always been my favourite format.
PMSL sprint race at Spa will that be like 3 laps
To me the sprint races were just confusing. It could be because they still call it "qualifying", when it's not a qualification for the Sunday race grid but the sprint grid. It also seemed hard to find the info on what the actual Sunday grid was, if you missed "qualifying" and the sprint race. Maybe I'm just slow, but I didn't like it.
I wish they would remove tyre warmers already. It would make the start of a race and pit stops much more important
do any of the rules include over spending and not waiting for the cars to get back in position after a collision.
