F1's major rule changes for the cars have been pushed back to 2022, and the current cars are being carried over for 2021... right? Sort of. Rule changes are still being made for next year, and in this video Edd Straw explains what they are, and why the FIA has felt the need to try to curb the performance of the fastest F1 cars ever. We also round up the other minor changes on and off-track that are being made for next season.

Two simple changes to make F1 exciting. Kill DRS it only creates fake passes and takes the thrill out of a massive wheel to wheel hunt. Allow refuelling so more strategy goes into the race
am i missing something? why are they always changing the rules and in this case reducing the cars performance? aren't these things made to have the limits pushed?
Budget cap is on. Is this applied to the new 2022 car ? Cause no one in the right mind will spend on 2021 car any money !
The increase of engine & car weight means more batteries and more power.
🖤
Awesome
What the fuck is wrong with the FIA? Do they seriously want more drivers to spin out and create more drama?
Soo....are da F1 cars gonna be pretty much overall keeping with same aesthetics with a few canards here, n there, minor aero alterations, almost undistinguishable...if not talked about. Or are they genuinely overhauling da whole car, loox, engine, dadada... Anyways F1 needs to update there look. Getting a tad mmm...old, worn with a sprinkling of moth-balls . A new styling of the F1 logo would be a gr8 start!
Do a video on how to pitch a new idea to f1 teams' engineers.
Not allowing innovation smh
If the tires are not capable of keeping up with the other technological advancements in F1 racing, F1 should switch tire companies rather than hobbling the cars. "Will result in less down force and therefore less performance." That's why I watch F1... less performance. "limiting research and development" Why bother having a constructor's cup. sigh
So have they took DAS off the merc
it's the characteristic they just admitted that they are changing
Wont make a difference. Just going to ruin the midfiel.
Another predictable season ahead unfortunately
My predictions 2021... LH 1st, Ver 2nd, Bot 3rd, Per 4th, Ric 5th, Alo 6th (MER 1st constructers, 2nd Red Bull, 3rd McLaren) and F*ing God damn it Alonso still doesn't have a car to fight at the front.
This 0.5mm bolt is outlawed for 2021. f1 teams: *Panik*
ANY increase of the minimum weight is bad. Instead, they should limit the maximum power available.
05:22 it was McLaren who finished 2020 in 3rd place in the constructors not Racing Point. You're welcome fellow viewer, no more need to rush to Wikipedia like I did
I believe their engineers will find the way to overtake the cut of downforce. Just sick to watch everytime when someone have great idea and next year FiA rule out it. Just make a special class free for all & their limit is only the budget for cars & experiments. Just let those crazy engineer rack their brain so the fastest driver will win the races. IMHO.
Bummed about the DAS outlaw. I was very interested to see where that would go.
another snooze fest........
5:23 you swapped McLaren and Racing Point! :-D
This will impact Red Bull for sure
Why does F1 hate speed?
this is bullshit -_-
Already most teams have countered the -10% deficit.., hell they even have the 2022 cars getting tested..! To be honest, FIA isn't setting barriers.., is creating opportunities..!
Get rid of DRS, Tyre warmers and limit pit crew over the wall to 10. And the big one. limit straight aways to 40 % of the track.
If McLaren can get everything correct I think they can make a charge to the front.
5:59 there's a mistake, McLaren finished 3rd, not racing point
@5:12 exemptions doesn't seem to be the minor point you say in passing here.. how about you elaborate on that???
But why? This will result in crashes
I despise how the top racing sport in the world (it's called formula ONE, come on) has so many rules made to slow down the cars I think i speak for most fans when i say to hell with it all and let the engineers go wild. There is so much technology to explore, we have come so far just to be held back by rules, i wanna see fighter jets sliding through the track, not a rule book Change the tracks to make them safer, not the cars. Tracks are just tarmac, the cars are the sport
so in other words, they are changing the floor which is the only downforce part of the car that is least affected by dirty air. so even less following and less overtakes next season. yay.
i dont understand why they keep trying to slow the cars down??? F1 is supposed to be the pinnacle of racing this is why they keep losing fans. F1 needs a group B division.
F1 is the only association that attains revolutionary engineering achievements, only to then limit those achievements by removing them from the sport. I understand the appetite for exciting racing, but that desire should not show up in the form of a downgraded design.
Cosmetic changes will grant another double crown to Mercedes.
So instead of going forward we are going backwards.
so maybe too much competition for lewis and more fun for the viewers
The V6 should be Cast iron
God Hamilton looks like such a clown with that hair.
The title is such click bait.
2022: lets go to more ground effect downforce: 2021: less ground effect downforce?
Challenge for some... opportunities for others (Mercedes) 😂🤣😂
750kg? Since when did F1 cars get so massively heavy.
Seems like a massive step back to me, i thought f1 was ment to be the pinnacle of racing performance instead we're neutering cars to the point that they're deliberately making the cars perform worse for the sake of preservation of tyres, if every team was using mercedes cooling fin style alloy wheels then why would need to reduce the down force if they can cope with it... 🤦♂️
I'm no aerodynamicist, but I'd have thought the floor changes would affect high-rake cars (nearly everyone) more than low-rake ones (Mercedes, whether black, silver or pink - or presumably green next year?).
outlawed outlawed why at this point even have different cars
Does anyone else wish there was a racing series that had no rules at all? No rules to keep cars speed down!
No. Too many drivers would die.
6:26 finally teams wont be allowed to check the QR code on other teams diffusers
This is just going to help the bigger teams who spend more time and money in the wind tunnel. Who is going to actually follow wind tunnel allocation time? It is impossible to enforce.
If they can copy, no one should prevent them, that is really a bad idea, it will make faster teams even more untouchable.
There as so many rules it's ridiculous, are there any races where the engineers really get to be creative or have different ideas?
Next rule: no engine for 100% efficiency
What's the point always restrict. They might as well race on trash buckets.
i hope it's not 2005 again in term of safety
Mercedes are still gonna win and other teams will have problems tail happy
Will Ferrari be Fast again?
This is why I hate racing protocols. The cars are geting faster and faster. Pre-1960, larger and wider tracks were built, so that drivers were less likely to kill themselves. Post-1960 It's cheaper to keep the track the way it is. Gimp the cars. ...thus impeding the initiative to make nimbler and faster cars.
fans: lets gooo no more merc and lewis toto and lewis: "i don't f****** care we winnin anyways"
F1 has become a joke. Almost everything they do is just downright ridiculous.
ever heard of a secret wind tunnel ?
Aero is literally the future of car design. With things like computer modelling getting more powerful, you get access to immense performance benefits without extreme costs. It levels the playing field and stops Mercedes from spending $1.4 billion on an engine. I don't understand why FIA is so determined on keeping F1 stuck in the past.
WHY IS THE FIA SO AFRAID OF AERO
Red Bull have the car let’s see Max and Lewis race in equal cars they killed Mercedes in Abu Dhabi no excuses next year 🤷🏻♂️
Won't that make cars slower and unstable?
Is the cost cap going to really change anything for next year? Surely the money for next years car is being spent now. I would think a cost cap next year would effect the 2022 car more.
Sounds more and more like spec racing. F1 should learn from NASCAR. NASCAR has seen its market share decrease.....
"emergency cost savings" in probably one of the most expensive racing series.
Looking forward to a level playing field where its about the drivers and not the cars.
F1 the only sport which goes backwards
Turns out only Mercedes nailed it while all of the other teams botched it... 😂😂😂 1000 constructor points incoming except they botched pitstop or the drivers crash each other...
The fia the uci are all twats the uci ban anything that doesn’t look like a generic bike and all the fia do is ban anything that is better than the competition or even slightly dominant it’s not about who has the best car it’s about who can get away with having better technology for the longest time before the fia stick their little noses in and ban everything pretty pathetic if you ask me
Except Mercedes they can have whatever they want. Because FIA was and always be Mercedes bitch. Question: Why safety car is always Mercedes?
Instead of making the cars faster they are making them slower🤦🏿
I don't see all these changes mixing up the order for next year. As long as there is such a big delta in budgets of teams I think you can't seriously expect the smaller teams compete with the bigger ones. Mercedes has like 1200 people working for the F1 team. 1200!! That is insane. Other teams have to do with less than half that amount. 1200 people can be very creative and everytime they come up with something brilliant the FIA takes action.. If you want the sport to be progressive you should give the teams more space to be innovative
Half?!!! Mercedes says they've already gained ALL the lost downforce back in their wind tunnel tests.
Mercedes will eat the competition alive.
i don't think that it will be any difference. They took all the power of red bull's car out so i believe it will be even easire for mercedes andi red bull might lose a place in the constructor or somehting like that, other than that nothign more
Aussie Gp 2021 (Hopefully) Finally, some good fucking racing
Hope dies last. No way good racing it will be more of the same Mercedes and LH get in there Lewis.
Knowing Mercedes they've pretty much seen this coming especially the DAS part and by 2022 they'll have much better car as well.
Mercedes wins F1 in 2021... still im going to buy myself a Toyota.
I'm unaware of why is DAS a problem, can somebody explain? it seems like nobody else was capable of making it so they voted to kick that system out just because others can't do it properly... or what am I missing?
So they've made sure the cars have less downforce and grip...
anywy it returns the success to the drivers is great. Less tech, more driver skills. Seeing George Russell drive the Merc speaks volumes of what t agreat ar can do for a driver with skill. Imagine Max in a Merc!
He would destroyed the whole competition.
Hehehhee thats what i said bigger then u think hehehe she didnt think so tho😞
so, how will the cars be named? eg for mercedes, will it be W11 again, W11b, or straight away W12?
It seems like 2021 F1 cars should be built to be as long as possible then to maximise the underfloor area and claw back some of these losses? 🤔
FIA in 2024: ok this year we try go karts
Are they doing this just so teams with less imagination and talent with how they design their cars get better winning chances? That’s what it sounds like.
yup, lets not make them share their innovations, better ban them. because fu progress and fu whale
I think if all cars had to tow a trailer with their spare parts on board, it would make the sport more interesting. 😏
Make F1 great again
Can anyone say the background music
5:23 this idea of allowing the lower teams more aero analysis will help.
If you want cost saving then stop changing the regs every season to develop more technical engines for a start. The old naturally aspirated V8 are simpler in design and cost, this is a racing series not a developer series. Simplify the sport and concentrate on the racing and drivers championships. Becoming a joke these new regs every season and it's getting in the way of what we've come to see, racing.
Hello, F1 noob (returning noob). Why would they want to make changes that cut performance?
Soooo the worst team on the grid get rewarded with more testing?😂 wack
interesting video
Redbull wont care about the downforce part while haas are furious rn
This won't change a thing for the cars themselves, 2022 is where we will see real change.
Biggest impact on MB made by corona they can not spend as much as before. Second is cost cap it will force them to reduce number of their staff. Third if new rules change force them to shorten car they are doomed.
