The biggest technical rule changes in Formula 1 history
Vložit
- čas přidán 24. 01. 2022
- Massive rule changes on the scale we’re seeing in 2022 in Formula 1 are rare. Although they have become a little more frequent in recent times, it’s still unusual for there to be overhauls so widespread that it impacts not just the look of the cars, but even sometimes the style of racing and the competitive order.
In this video, we rank the most game-changing new regulation packages in history. By packages, we mean a raft of changes made between seasons rather than those made during the year - for the best of those, check out our video ‘10 times F1 rules were changed during a season’.
The order is dictated by how far-reaching the rule changes were in terms of the engines, chassis concept and the nature of F1. This means we’re looking at what might be called the modern era of F1 over the past four decades, simply because this is when the regulations have become increasingly far-reaching.

One really important change, that altered look of the cars quite significanly, happened in 1988. From that year the feet of the driver can't extend beyond the front wheels axle. Simple but really effective safety change, because leg injuries were quite common in bigger crashes.
Had no idea that happened, but it totally makes sense
Damn thanks FYI
That also explains why some mid-80's cars looked so unbalanced - big hump, but a very short nose. A 00's F1 driver sat in one of those and said that feeling of having his legs so far forward was impressive, IIRC.
@@laso8608 hi LASO.
@@vaclav_fejt i bet 2022 F1 cars looked worse than 1988 F1 cars from Gran Turismo 3.
1998 - 2008 were my favorite cars of all time. They just looked incredible and amazingly agile. Now they're too big and heavy. Wish they had a rule that each car has to fit inside a standard parking spot
sadly that wont happen due to the increased chassis size for safety etc
Them 2008 cars were wingnuts, they looked like they would take off with those bargeboards
They're my 2nd pick. My favorite are late 80s-early 90s cars. So simple looking, yet so furious! Round wheels and H-Manuals.
@@sidders5023 prior to 2017 they weren't bad
Yeah, I loved the aero on 2008 cars. IMO that season had the best looking cars ever. 2017-2021 period is 2nd best.
Venturi Tunnels are the most underrated thing to come back - not many people realise the *amazing downforce* it produced in the ‘70’s. I’m also glad that the bargeboards are gone, they were massively complex and even the slightest damage could destroy a driver’s race.
Can’t wait for how the new cars *actually* look like once the engineers find all the loopholes and quirks.
mostly cuz the sliding skirts tho right? and we have a min. distance between floor/road with the plank and skid plates... cant wait what they come up with and what we will uncover in the full season.
I'm sure the engineers have already found some *bold* solutions for this season
“not many people realise the amazing downforce it produced...”
I’d say most of us here are aware of the Lotus 79.... Ground Effect is one of F1’s watershed moments after all.
@@-BuddyGuy **nice**
70-80's were gnarly for underbody downforce, until the FIA took a sledgehammer to it. I mean, the Williams FW08 could race functionally, without a front wing.
Imagine how fast a car would be if the designers could choose any rules from the last 50 years!
It would probably look and drive a lot like the SRT Tomahawk VGT. However the cornering g-forces would kill the driver after one lap lol.
@@sevegarza I'm curious, how old are you?
@@sevegarza yes. Tire grips are also decreased by 60 percent as well.
I would love to see what they'd come up with with 2008 regulations. I think that was the last year the cars actually looked futuristic and spaceship-like. I love the look from the 2017-2021 cars but MAN did the 2008 cars looked cool!
@@sevegarza Nah, probably more like the X machines by Red Bull.
They were created with with a complete disregard for rule limitations in motorsport, to exist within the world of Gran Turismo.
I hope the new regs allow us to see different styles of driving and more driver impact.
They won’t.
@@F-Man :(
Me too, we can be hopeful
@@F-Man Ferrari sucks
@@F-Man okok
F1 should return to the car and front wing sizes of 2000-2005. The narrower cars allowed more side-by-side racing and those narrower wings were far less likely to be damaged by collisions. Plus they looked prettier than even the 2022 cars.
A shame side by side racing was prevented by refuelling, 2010-13 had the best overtaking in my opinion. Having said that, I think everyone wants narrower cars
Narrower and lighter. The nimbleness of the late-90's to mid-00's machines was amazing to watch. They had such an awe-inspiring impression of speed that just can't be matched by any current/recent machinery.
@@futbolista24 agreed. Since the cars are getting a little bit smaller i think f1 is making baby steps in the right direction.
On the other hand, the cars are getting heavier, mainly because of safty features and the battery. I think we will have to wait a fair time for cars to get lighter and more nimble again.
I think for the cars to become shorter in length, the engine will need to be completely changed.
@@Xiphactinus The lack of overtaking due to refueling made the few overtakes that occurred from drivers pressuring each other over 20+ laps that much more exciting tbh.
Although I don't mind never bringing back refueling, I kinda feel like the artificial frequent overtaking of DRS isn't really that exciting either.
I was arguing about this the other day, people somehow have a hard time realising that we are witnessing an historic rule change
Nice story bro. Don't forget to take your meds.
@@igisanchez265 You get today's Roast Award.
I know the first one was Turbo related but I would have added in 1981-82 when the FIA increased the minimum weight to favour the manufacturers/Turbos.
They were very heavy on fuel usage so their power advantage was balanced by the increased weight, this change was the beginning of the end for the Cosworth DFV.
It also played an extremely important part in the FISA-FOCA divide and led to the water ballast and DSQ in Brazil 1982 and thus boycott of San Marino 82.
That W08 without the sharkfin is so amazing
I know we all want closer racing and have more than 2 teams/drivers fighting for the championship, but I do love the innovation of teams and their genius engineering solutions.
Which is what I also love about the sport, the engineering behind the machines, but I get not all teams can operate on an equal playing field and this is to limit the scope of the larger teams.
thats why red bull and mercedes got less time than the other teams to use the wind tunnel for testing for this season, so we would see if the bottom teams really used good their time and analysis for this upcoming rules.
Having specifications doesn't mean you can't innovate, just inside a spectre of rules. And don't forget f1 need to balance technicity, sport and cost. And i think the balance is quite good for now.
absolutely, especially when you also studied engineering. the work & details behind the cars are simply amazing.
I personally don't think look at the RB 18/19 they are the best and Fast asf but nothing innovative
2017 changes were such a failure. The smaller cars were so much better. Looked way better and the racing was way better
They over reacted to the drivers saying the 2014/16 cars were unfun to drive and impossible to get the power from the new torque filled v6 hybrid to the ground with the skinny tyres.
The racing was better yes, but looking better is.. debatable. 2017 brought wide bois with low and sleek rear wings.
@@dougconner95 They could've widened the track to 2m, widened the tires, and maintained the restrictive aero rules of 2009-2016 and it would've fared better than the 2017-2021 regulations.
Can we just take a second to appreciate this channel? I love new content produced during winter break, can't wait for 2022 season and those videos ease pain a little :D
3:34 the most creative and funny F1 car sponsorship ad must be Sega with Sonic's feet on the drivers. Such good idea for a videogame company.
Loved your involvement in the viaplay f1 podcast! Please come back for more!
I only hope the current formula will remain for at least ten years - as Aidan Millward said it, the rich teams will likely perfect it quickly, the poorer slowly, thus if you want closer racing, we have to wait until everyone catches up and not change the rules every three years. Also, the new car looks *fire.*
Sink or swim that’s the problem giving everyone who is weak a leg up no let them improve on their own like Mercedes did
The flat bottom regs were BY FAR the biggest rule change in F1 because unlike every other change no one saw them coming. Most had to severely modify their cars by chopping the side pods down to their minimum. Brabham completely trashed their BT51 "pit stop" car in favor of the gorgeous BT52 delta shape championship winner.. Even the McLaren-Porsche's were effected as that engine was designed with up-swept (and restrictive) exhaust ports to keep the headers and turbos above the car under tunnels, that hurt them later as horsepower numbers increased.
Some of these changes really shook things up. I wonder what chance we have of that happening again
In the 50's and 60's they had frequent changes in the engine formula, which technically speaking meant an entire new formula.
Brawn GP gets mentioned without mentioning the double-diffuser challenge (impossible)
Super excited to see how these cars are going to drive and what will happen with the teams!!!
In one of your articles regarding standardized wheels for 2022, you mentioned that they are being made by German brand BBS, but I believe it is actually BBS Japan that is contracted to produce them.
I have to ask, where do you get the BGM for these videos? It sounds nice!
"Williams famously struggled to re-adapt the passive suspension". We know what that cost to the F1 world
Exactly what I was thinking
Very costly indeed
but they won the 1996-1997 title tho, so it's not because of that particular rule change. I'll say the narrowed body rules in 1998 is the culprit
@@naufalkusumah2192 mate he's talking about Senna.
@@renatatostada3318 ah shit, I missunderstood his comment. But wasn't the steering shaft that broke, and not the suspension itself?
The only thing with the 2022 cars that still bothers me is the relatively high up front wing. I can see issues like in the 2000s knocking wings against the rear end of other cars at the start. It also in my opinion dampens the look of the 2022 car. if it was at the 2017-2021 height, it could be a much better looking car. however, it looks more like an RC car or a childs toy, designed not to dig into the grass. If high rake is still a thing (I hope it is, just for the sake of allowing teams be unique) maybe that changes things
Fuel allowance was already in place pre-2014, though. 150 or 160 kg, reducing to 100 for 2014 before two separate 5 kg increases for 2017 & 2019, respectively.
The V6 Turbo Hybrid wasn't a given yet in 2010, so impossible for Mercedes or any manufacturer, for that matter.
Admittedly, I'm slightly surprised 2009 is below 2014, even though the latter was mainly about powertrains rather than aero like the former.
A year on and the dominance I still here and thriving
I think this Era of f1 will be very similar to the 2009 cars which I think will be amazing. Someone will get it right and be pretty far ahead my bet is either ferrari or mclaren, the cars will likely be similar from a ascetic point of view and will have less downforce
LoL sage 🤣🤣 quite pathetic that is lol
I find it funny that for some of these rule changes it lowered lap times but then “eventually f1 designers found a way around it and lap times dropped” nothing stops those inhuman designers
0:53 This makes no sense, these early changes had a huge impact, also the change from alcohol-based fuels in the early to mid 50s, to petrol/gasoline and the race distance dropped from 500km to about 300km for the 1958 season. This meant a loss in power, but fuel tanks could be smaller, so smaller lighter cars were possible and this led the way to the first V6 engined F1 race winner from Ferrari and the rear-engined revolution began. By the end of the decade, Jack Brabham became the first driver to win the F1 title in a rear-engined car.
I still can't quite wrap my head over how grooved tyres that reduces grip is introduced in the name of safety...
0:00 i will forever be cursed by that merc in full dry conditions on full wets
the 1998-2008 cars will always be the best looking ones
Stunningly beautiful photography throughout this video 1:43 2:01 2:14 3:29 3:45 4:02 4:10 4:17 4:53 5:07 5:17 5:25 5:31 5:40 8:29 8:43 8:57 Would they be getting these from iStock and Getty etc?
There are Twitter accounts with some insane pics in insane quality
@@persezyra Are you saying the The Race has a Twitter account that posts these great pictures?
@@mechanicalpants not theirs, but they post great pictures yes
I’m pretty confident the FIA looked at Mercedes and Red Bull’s domination and wanted to change it. When a sport is predictable it takes all of the excitement out of it. I want F1 more like MotoGP.
Wouldn't be the first time. The mass banning of driver aids in 1994 was partly motivated by the dominance of Williams, who had more driver aids (and more effective driver aids) than anyone else. It didn't stop them from winning entirely (the 1998 rule changes did that), but it did pull them back into the pack and generate some actual title fights.
Does Red Bull use a Mercedes engjne?
4:05
"...And suffered from aerodynamic instability " Proceeds to show an upside down Williams 🤣. I love TheRace
I just hope that the constructors will be able to push their designs to the limit and F1 won't turn into a spec or semi-spec series
The mustache wings look great
please bring back team choice of tyre suppliers
I’d love to see how technology has adfected driving styles and racing styles , over under steer etc
Those old tobacco liveries are still free advertisement for the cigarette brands (at least those that still exist today). But they are still fucking gorgeous!
just a quick one about rules, how much is it to fix the outome of a race like last time, and can anyone send in a bribe
at 4:07 I never realized Eddie Irvine was pronounced "aerodynamic instability" :)
FIA rule changes ,,, are usually designed to stop a team continually dominating season after season. Previously, WILLIAMS, FERRARI, RED BULL AND NOW MERCEDES.
That won't happen I can tell you why.
It still triggers me when people say "normally" rather than "naturally" aspirated.
Feels like every time FIA change rules mid season they make things worse
Don't know about the 2022 cars but until know I think the 2017 cars that was made to be the fastest has been the best era so far. I think relatively the racing has been good overall but even great in some races so with this AND the fact that these were the fastest F1 cars yet I think this era has been the best. I want the fastest cars possible and can be good with compromising some "racing" for the sake of having the fastest cars, but that is just me ;) So if they can achieve as fast or even faster cars AND make the racing better then the 2022 regulations will magical.
I think most of us can agree the 2009-2016 cars were the ugliest phase, visually, in F1 history, especially the 2014 season. Some exceptions of course being the '09 Brawn, '09 Ferrari and some others.
Excellent content !!! My only hope for 2022 is good looking cars .... 2014 was the year of the ugliest noses of the entire grid
Will the 2022 cars still make use of drs?
Yes
Really looking forward to 2022, but I'm still very sceptical about the change in the pecking order. Contrary what many believe, I still think Mercedes will be the dominant force this era with perhaps Red Bull and Ferrari closer than ever, but I think the Mercedes Team just works so well as a design bureau it's very hard to eclipse their design efficiency. Given most of the main staff have been relatively unchainged the last few years, I think they are still the big favorites for next season. Still hope I'm 100 % wrong though
This content is easing my severe f1 withdrawals
We'll see.
I think they should bring back refueling in the race with the requirement that every car had to have a tank big enough to hold enough fuel to go the entire race. Your qualifying fuel load is what you start the race with for the top 10. Would increase overtaking and create some truly crazy strategies
That's almost how it use to be and there wasn't much overtaking most done in the pits.
Verstappen and Hamilton tried to avoid each other on track with pit stops so imagine with refuelling...
@@DaVoKanfr at the very least you had some cars who would go for pole on low fuel then get passed in the race. Now the guys in front are in front from beginning to end
I would agree if Refueling come back on a similar principle to the new rules regarding the Wind Tunnel.
that is: The lesser teams are allowed to refuel, thus they can run lighter cars and push harder. As you go up the order, your refueling tolerance decreases until you reach say, the Top 2, where they cannot refuel in any circumstance. Bringing back refueling for the whole grid would be a repeat of the era of Pit Stop Overtakes and the only slew action proper being Lap 1.
@@peixeserra9116 if you did it so that only the top 10 had to start with the fuel they used in qualifying and the rest could do whatever amount they wanted you would get a huge mix of strategies which would guarantee way more passing. Now everyone uses the same strategy etc and it's just follow the leader
EDD STRAW hope that is a nickname or we have some weird parents :P
i bet on weird parents. hence why he's obese. he's not living it well. i honestly hate this dude.
I hope they reduce the size and weight of cars next time round
Dont cut the sidepods
These new regulations are like changing the education system to limit the gap between intelligent, hardworking students and the rest.
I know you just wanted to focus on the modern era, but the rationale for ignoring the 1.5L and 3.0L regs falls flat when the first example you name after that is the ban on turbos. The same factors apply there. The McLaren MP4/4 and MP4/5 are very similar cars, so the turbo ban didn't have that much of an effect on the cars either.
I think they were just trying to find a reason not to mention old rule changes, because there were many back then and people probably aren’t interested in the very old stuff
@@alphonseraynaud976 I suspected as much. But they could have just done that without attaching flimsy logic to it.
Not mentioning DRS seems a bit daft...
It’s really amazing the Lewis hasn’t won all of the 8 driver championships in the turbo hybrid era with Mercedes. Clearly the most dominant car in F1 history. Mercedes and Toto have truly been the story of the past decade
Pressed on your profile and saw all your anti Hamilton comments it’s clear you just don’t like Hamilton
@@Umar-gw6fy you are a Hamilton sycophant and I am an old Seb fan who recently likes George. I do feel that the British fellate Sir Lewis. Also how do you not agree that Sir Lewis should have won 8 championships at Mercedes the greatest team in the history of F1. We shall see how Lewis does in 2023 against George
Rent free
It’s real funny that your life will always be shit compared to Hamilton’s life what have you accomplished again?
@@samfields3086 probably more than Sam Fields but why so sensitive Sammy?
Well...let's hope it works, and makes the grid more level, and hopefully we'llsee some different folk on the podium.....;.)
We won't
We in see a 2022 car hit the tracks up till now,but you telling us,that it's the most dramatic rule change...in f1 history . guess we'll just have to wait an see..
That merc at the start of the video is what I always wanted the previous generation cars to look like. No shark fin, no T wing but wide with the swept rear wing. I get that the halo is necessary for driver protection, but damn that car looks so good without it
O the t wing. Awful
Those 2009 changes to big and ugly cars turned me away in those years
With a cost cap they should drastically open up the regulations and not tighten them
Will make no difference. Even with cost cap.
@@chriscollins550 what won't make a difference?
@@sgsheff cost cap. I'm not sure if you know the in and out of it and what the cost cap covers.
@@chriscollins550 they're only allowed to spend a certain amount of money on the development and manufacturer of the cars and certain employees. If they have the same amount of money to spend then they should open up regulations to allow for more creativity. Previously, it was just the teams with the most money developed more and were faster.
@@sgsheff not kinda true. So they all have the same amount to a degree. But team's can design and redesign part's as much they like and claim the money back from fia. The problem there is the lower team's can't afford to do that as they are already at top their budget already as in the money they have got not the coat cap. Then things like driver's pay team/pit stop crew don't come into it. Team bosses pay and also the designer team pay. The smaller team's are at a disadvantage before the car even completed
I'm just wondering, why don't they allow active suspension again? Or perhaps mass dampers? These ground effect cars might be more sensitive to instability, and allowing those technologies would help with that.
I mean if road cars have it, why can't F1?
Mass damper ok, but active suspension is a driver aids and it really remove a part of the sport.
All driver aids were banned from 1993 onwards (tho Traction Control was allowed for the early 2000s a bit). That included Active Suspension.
The reasons being
Stop Williams's Dominance
Lower costs
Safety. For some reason. (the FIA claimed that if the computers failed, multiple drivers could be in danger)
And that the Sport remained "Exciting", that newer drivers had it too easy and it made people who didn't deserve being on F1 getting there, blah blah, so removing Driver Aids would keep it pure. Yup even back then that bullshit mentality existed
I'll be glad to see the back of the godawful bargeboard & turning vane sidepod clutter!
F1 should change name to GP1 this season...
Isnt it just gonna be more about power engine and less about aero?
For 2022 i think theres a chance we could see a US remake of the Brawn BGP 001 from Haas. Last year they didnt develop their car and funnelled everything into their car for this year. Whos to say this year we dont see Brawn GP USA.
BRAWN GP had World Class drivers for a start
@@chamindujanith6337 Haas have Herr Prince.
Saw what you all did there with the BOP and Toyota 😂
Notice every attempt for "better racing" has failed, why should we expect anything different this time?
i really can't wait for the 2022. hoping that masi and friends don't butcher it like they did with the 2021 season.
If the teams are allowed freedom to develop their programs and cars the racing world been so much better because some teams would go with a slightly heavier larger engine that was possibly NA with a wider powerband while other teams would go for smaller lighter boosted engines that were more powerful with a smaller powerband. Then fuel consumption could be the ultimate equalizer. Regulate the team's budget with a max amount per team, body, size, safety, weight, suspension and tires but not engines transmissions and aerodynamics. The racing would be alot more exciting for the fans to see what the teams could roll out because the cars would be drastically different instead of a slightly different wing shape. The cars would be alot more competitive because the cars would obviously perform differently and the manufacturers would love it because their teams would be able to show their technical abilities.
4:07 Eddie caused that 🙃
The look of 2022 F1 cars looked worse than 1988.
Rule changes that stifle innovation cut the link between F1 competitive engineering and R&D that filters down to road vehicles.
Aerodynamics and turbochargers, the most obvious contributions to car efficiency, developed rapidly during their F1 years.
The justification for Formula One should be in leading the development of synthetic hydrocarbon or hydrogen fuel cell propulsion, because we need fuels with higher energy density and cannot just rely on lithium battery EV.
When there are changes of this magnitude there are usually two reasons.
The first is safety and that's an admirable goal.
The second, however, is due to the dominance of one or two teams as is the case in this instance.
I find this second reason to be an overall negative force on the sport as it punishes success. Mercedes and Red Bull have dominated the racing for over 10 years now and I understand how people want to see a change at the top. It's natural to want variety but, it shouldn't come at the expense of of those who've made the sport great in the first place.
As far as the changes go, the biggest changes that were not introduced by the FIA were the addition of one Michael Schumacher and later the Sebastian Vettel and Lewis Hamilton models. It's yet to be seen if the more recent models will pan out but the Max Verstappen seems to be doing well.
On a different subject: C'mon CZcams! A whole 1 1/2 minutes into this video the commercials started interrupting it! Seriously, is this how you pressure people into paying for content? That's a pretty shitty way to go about it!
I love your coverage during the season, but I feel like half of your most recent videos can be summarized by "F1 CHANGES WOOHOO!"
The only regulation I want is that all cars have shiny liveries.
Oh no pls, not like the rainbow 2022 concept car 🤢
I don't like the V6 turbo hybrid engines. I was really hoping that F1 would bring V8 or V10 engines in 2022
That would be epic!
The big auto makers, who are paying the bills, want the cars to be more relatable to the general public who are buying 4-6 cylinder cars. Billionaires will buy sports cars with V10 engines anyway, regardless of whether it races, as long as you tell them the car will be rare and the value will go up in 10 years.
You'd maybe all laugh but if the cars get less complicated and he gets a competitive car, then Stroll will be right up there with the best. His natural ability is great, his relationship with all the buttons and knobs not so much.
Honorary mention goes to the addition of the Halo - it's saved lives it seems. I guess a video with the safety changes would be where it lives - I'm not sure that fans today realise how insanely dangerous the sport was not that long ago. The turbo era was a strange one - as a kid at the time I was a Carlos Reutemann fan as he battled in his non-turbo car against the turbocharged competition.
Will the 2022 cars be faster on the straight?
Ι suppose in a few years the cars will be 10+m long with 26 inches wheels and the drivers will be required to have visible golden teeth :)
Question, what would happen to the Russian GP if there is war?
the fun fact the cost cap $145 million , but only 3 team can due that cause enermous money they have ,
Mercedes , Redbull , Ferari , the other f1 team cant even do that
estimated mclaren alphine i think just barely $ 100 million spend , the other below them if you ask me william and hass cant even force to use $ 50 million cause william almost bankcrup and hass have no money to spend cause issue same
The 2017 Mercedes without the Shark Fin and T-Wing is so so so beautiful 🤩

Not really. What happened there was a rule change but it wasn't to stop them from winning.

If races are fixed and winners have already been chosen, why waste time changing rules?
I feel like this major change in regulations has been enforced in the hope that mercedes won't dominate again. I'm all for there being an actual title challenge but I think mercedes will nail these new regs and destroy next year
How wrong you were
Really won't make a difference. Its a power sport and while the PU is unchanged then the order will be unchanged.

If over the body aero is anything more effecrive than a 1992 car is, we will still need and see DRS and for sure it is and will be! I assume overcar aero will be on 2000 level, with the rest of laptime being made by difusors, which we all know how it went.
Closer racing means more accidents and I can't wait to see Nikita "The Human Pinata" Mazepin turn any race into a pinball machine this will be epic!!!
