In recent years, Formula 1 has started going in a different direction, one that has alienated old fans, whilst also bringing in a lot of new ones. The sport’s image is rapidly changing, and upper management has brought in increasingly controversial policy decisions. Anyone who follows me on Twitter will know full well that I enjoy a good rant, and when it comes to modern Formula 1, there is a lot to rant about. Here, I want to lay my cards on the table, and outline how I would change Formula 1 if I had the power, i.e., as FIA President. We’re talking everything from the calendar to technical regulations, safety standards, and even broadcasting and hospitality. No stone will be left unturned, and so here, allow me to declare my manifesto for a vision of Formula 1 that remains at the forefront of progress and innovation, while also being deeply in touch with its heritage and past.

Will do Mr Brook!
Because because Miami and Las Vegas are cringe
Oh that was fun to listen to. There is real logic in your thinking and clearing the bs of F1 away.
No budget as stated by other comments will be abused but bring in the ideas ,but they have to be presented to all the other teams at the end of the season. Otherwise the likes of Audi will bring in 4WD diesel cars like before etc.
Honestly the coolest idea was the 13th team for F2 champions etc. Subscribed,liked and shared. Thank you.
No budget limit with all these design options will reduce the formula 1 to big manufactures. I'd say either cost cap with free design choices or strict designs by no cost cap.
Worse - it restricts the sport to big manufacturers.....who have no reason to be in there anymore by scrapping any hybrid systems. You might as well institute a cost cap at this point since every road car manufacturer is making statements about ceasing development of combustion engines. He brings up the 70s bit forgets that most of the teams back then had barely any support from factory teams while every team on the grid wants to be paired up with a road car factory these days to develop the powertrain. Despite making their own road cars, there are reasons why McLaren wanted to aprtner up with Honda again. Or why Red Bull is partnering with Ford.
But overall, this was just one big nothingburger of a manifesto - basically every internet talking point from the past 10 years. Like come on, he wants to bring back the tire war as if the FIA themselves aren't the ones demanding shitty tires? Anyone who actually takes a look back and remembers the 2005 "One set of tires for the whole race" thing wasn't from the manufacturers, that was the FIA.
@@themanwithsauce yeah the whole point about "bringing in car manufacturers interested in developing combustion engines for CO2 neutral fuels" makes no sense since by now most manufacturers have realized it's a dead end technology for road cars, if anything F1 needs more electrification... also if you really want the peak of technology let them built turbocharged inline 4s like they did in the 80s and would do now if they could
neutral fuels is a dead end for road cars? excuse me what? most of the world uses combustion, and will continue to do so as it is much better alternative for daily use than electric and comes with less problems than electric currently does and that electric will come with for years to come. Hell once neutral fuels become a thing no one would even think of owning a electric bar from if they became dirt cheap...@@johannesgutsmiedl366
@@johannesgutsmiedl366The reality is both are booming. Co2-neutral biofuels as well as electric cars will both be part of the future and will contribute to that co2 goal.
@@Rocky712_ biofuels have a place in aviation where the energy density trumps all other issues but for everthing else the fact that 80% of the primary electrical energy used to make the fuel in the first place goes to waste makes it a non starter. Here in germany our liberal party are for some reason still trying to hold on to funding its development but by now the big car manufacturers are pretty much begging them to stop so they can focus on battery electric vehicles instead. I'm not aware of any major manufacturer that still honestly pushes biofuels as the future for cars.
I am not sure if abolishing the cost cap is a good idea. F1 is already so expensive and hard to get into, I feel like removing the cost cap will just kill smaller teams and incentivize team owners to take on shady sponsors and drivers with rich fathers.
I think at least part of the motivation is that the cost-cap is something of a double-edged sword, particularly in combination with the current technical regulations. Rather than create closer championships, we're seeing teams have to push back their potential gains to next season because to try and implement this season would violate the cost-cap.
Not only that but under this vision 1st gets 10x the prize money of 11th. So there is no practical way a team could move up the grid without discover holy grail tech, research of which requires money.
@@BlaizeV Like the normal race, the development race has track limits now. It requires a certain skill to get the most out of the budget, and it requires a lot of critical thinking.
It's much better than spending 400 million to build potential upgrades you might not use.
The uprising of McLaren and Aston Martin proves that budget cap works.
It would've been brilliant if Red Bull had done their job a little less well. The vibe would be different if Hamilton, Leclerc and Alonso had won a race this season instead of 2nd places.
It wont.
Most stupid idea ever.
Crying about the cap, while not giving it time to even start really working.
Thank god these people on the net dont have a say about anything 😅
One thing about Adelaide: The old F1 layout doesn't exist anymore, they built a different road alignment there. The role of FIA president gives you a lot of powers, but I don't think you get city planning powers in Adelaide, so it's gonna be pretty hard to bring that layout back. And the shortened version other racing series use to this day is shorter than Monaco, so that might not be the best track for F1 either.
Not to mention that as a street circuit, it would have to align with Supercars as well, which would make the alternating between Albert Park and Adelaide difficult, and probably impossible
its not a G1 circuit, so f1 literally cannot run there anyway
I would replace It with a G1 version of the Surfers' Paradise street track, if possibile
The biggest problem with Adelaide is that we don't have the hotel means to host the race.
@@mattiasgarbi9470Nah, just go to Bathurst. And make it to be run with GT cars but making it count to the F1 championship.
I literally did my master’s dissertation on fixing the F1 calendar to cut the travel and be more sustainable 😅
A whole dissertation on it? Wow! What grade did you get?
@@alwaysinverted1224well 66/100. Not that great, I know!😂
your professors have no wheel knowledge! hhaaha @@vatsaldvora
They just host too many races in my opinion
There's little benefit in a more lineair calendar as teams, their vehicles, materials, staff, all fly back every three weeks to a month to their European home base. So, as long as the European races are concentrated together (which they already are) the question is, if it makes sense to fly from one point in the world to another via your European home base. Flying from Melbourne, with a turnover in Britain before flying to somewhere in America, all of a sudden doesn't sound that unlogical anymore.
Good schedule, but I’d put Monaco on the weekend of the Indy 500. The crossover of the two races on the same weekend is considered to be “The Greatest Day in Motorsport” alongside NASCAR’s Coca-Cola 600.
In the broader historical view, Monaco and Indy being on the same day is a thing that happens often but not always. In fact, not only has Monaco's date fluctuated quite a bit, but even the Indy 500 was not specifically pegged to the Sunday adjacent to the last Monday in May until 1974 (for many years it was on May 30, the "original" Memorial Day, regardless of the day. When Memorial Day became a Monday holiday, it first moved to the Saturday of the three-day weekend, then to the Monday, and finally in 1974 to the Sunday).
Yeah, but it prevents F1 drivers from doing the 500 or I guess the 600 if they want to it.
Honestly, outside the US almost nobody cares about indy or nascar.
And that's sad. I'm not a NASCAR Fan but, Indycar has a lot of good attributes. also, saying that nobody outside of the US cares about Indy or NASCAR is kinda insulting to the people that do care. whether it's Indy, F1, or Formula E, we should respect people's passion for the sport and treat the fan base with respect.@@AFox-qc4kh
@@AFox-qc4khfactually wrong, look at the non US drivers who have competed in Nascar and Indy, look at their fans who in turn watch their favorite driver race. Don't forget Europe has a stock car championship too along with Australia's supercar.
Wouldn't your open regulations cause the cars not to be able to follow eachother though? The dirty air effect, no refuelling and no tyre wear would make for insanely boring races.
The 2022 regulations were made to prevent just that, and they didn’t helped with it at all. There isn’t any more action in 2022 and 2023 than in 2021, neither in the front, middle or back of the field
@@aspi7850 you can literally Google the amount of overtakes made in 21 and 22, and surprise surprise 22 takes it by a mile.
@@ihavewaited90daystochangem51 depends on the source of what is considered “an overtake”. I think F1 counts undercuts as an overtake even if it’s not done in the track. Or if you overtake a car with a mechanical failure on the side of the track that’s also counted as an overtake. As wheel to wheel action goes, I don’t see a reasonable increase in the action on track. I enjoy F1 either way, but I don’t think they’ve made such a difference. Also overtakes are not everything, as the 2005 San Marino GP is remembered by the exact opposite: The lack of an overtake (Schumacher couldn’t overtake Alonso)
@@aspi7850 Nono they did help alot, but FIA went in and did floor changes to prevent bouncing, which caused the floor to not work fully as originally intended so it made the dirty air worse. The cars are still better to follow than 2021 but not by alot
@@aspi7850they did help a lot you just cant see that because all you do is look at redbull winning instead of appreciating racing. Watch 2021 2020 2019 2018.... Races racing in the start and then enormous gaps between cars and race over. We saw at austria last year how well regs work. We saw the same in bahrain, jeddah and almost every single race that happened in 2022
Honestly, I think scrapping the cost cap is a bad idea. It will just result in big teams trowing money at everything and dominating. If there is one thing that works currently, its the cost cap giving smaller teams a chance to catch up. It also promotes having good ideas and gambling on unconventional stuff for small teams because getting it right means a larger advantage.
I also think that removing DRS wouldn‘t work as developing cars that can‘t be followed would be a top priority with that much development freedom.
Unfortunately, the big teams don't have a reason to race because they want to make hybrids and EVs not screaming V10s. You can't run from the truth.
well smaller teams are still where they were and cant really compete with bigger ones bc they dont have nearly the infastructure
@@alistairwright3464 Thats not true at all. Of course RB is clear, but even deciding wich car is 2nd is realy difficult between Merc, Ferrari, Aston and McLaren and its shifting all the time. 6 out of 10 teams got a podium this season. Even the backmarkers often manage to get into Q3. There is no team that is clear last. And its only the 2nd season under the cost cap with a lot of advantages still carrieing over from before.
@@Fizechef no im talking about the historical backmarkers like haas sauber, williams , all of them protested against the cost cap for this expressed reason. im not saying the cost cap isnt a good thing it is but if it wants all teams on an equal playing field its not there yet
The cost cap keeping teams from the back on the grid IN THE BACK OF THE GRID
Running for Fia president 🎉🎉🎉🎉
He really does need to be Fia president! BRING BACK THE V10’S😎🤣
He can't. He's too competent for that
Biggest clown engines in sports history.
I think the rules could be expanded separate rules for separate fuels no lithium battery’s for electrics and can’t be over 1000kg I don’t know much about hydrogen and steam cars can’t run at more than 1000psi
I've never heard of Running. Who's that?😋
As a South African who dreams of having a Grand-Prix at home, it PAINED me to admit how correct you were about my country's situation 🤣 but anyway.
You have a very good base of rules here but I would like to change/add a couple of things:
1) Scrapping the cost-cap isn't a good idea because it makes what is already an expensive sport to teams and manufacturers unappetising once again. Also I feel opening the aero regulations in hopes to encourage innovation would only be aided by the cost cap. Forcing teams to find competitive solutions without breaking the bank. This I feel will bring back (for techy fans) the interest in genius designers like a Colin Chapman, John Barnard etc. However like the WEC, introduce a minimum/maximum drag co-efficient to not destroy the raceability of cars throwing excessive amounts of aero on the cars.
2) I get that everyone is in love with screaming V10s but unless a team really wants to run them, it shouldn't be the compulsory engine format. I propose further encouraging innovation in engine design as well. I suggest taking notes from F1 in the 60s-70s and WSC/WEC. Opening regulations to whatever configuration teams wish to run but limiting engines based on displacement. I.e. having engines limited to 3 litre displacement on whatever configurations teams choose. Yes, even Hybrid components are allowed but MGU-H type components are banned to keep engines loud and exciting. Opening regulations on engine configurations will greatly improve attractiveness of F1 to manufacturers. Also will bring back the signature engine sounds typically associated with manufacturers. Imagine a symphonic-V12 Ferrari/Aston Martin, roaring Mercedes V8 and screaming Audi V10 at Monza. To enforce and maintain loud engines, a loudness standard must be maintained where a minimum rating of 120dB and maximum of 140dB at max rpm is allowed to protect the aural health of mechanics/engineers which is taken for granted from behind the TV screens. (I'm an audio-engineer by trade and am quite passionate about this) P.S. V10s were already within this range of loudness.
3) I love the idea of bringing back the tyre war and 3 choices of wet weather tyres, I would like to add 1 thing. In the style of pure-qualifying set-ups from the 80s, introduce a qualifying ONLY tire. Ultra grip but very short lifespan of 2 laps at full steam. This would bring back a sense of One-Shot Quali and would free-up tire strategies on Sunday as teams will have more sets of soft compound tires available, and limit teams to four sets per car of the Quali tire per quali session (4 sets for Q1, 4 sets for Q2 etc.), bringing more jeopardy and drama to qualifying. Because not only will teams be concerned with session-time, managing traffic, but also with tire-life in quali. For fans it will be even more exciting as we get to see F1 cars around a track at peak grip which has always been something incredible in the sport's history. These Quali tires can also reward the drivers whose driving styles are better at preserving tires whilst at the limit, as they could find ways to get more laps out of the tires while rivals who don't posess this skill lose time and track position changing tires. (As a Leclerc and Ferrari fan I'm setting myself up for pain and heartbreak🤣)
4) I would like to take a suggestion from Oscar Piastri and delete Quali lap-times from drivers who cause red flags to prevent Monaco Red flag pole position type incidents (Leclerc 2021).
5) Instead of getting rid of Sprint races and putting F1 drivers in old F1 cars for a race (which may prove more expensive than it's worth), I suggest after the Friday Practice session whilst drivers are warmed up, throw them in SAFE cars resembling Formula Ford for a 20 lap sprint race (yes. It is 20 laps at every track) and make it count for championship points, to give drivers the incentive to want to compete. This will be exciting to watch and also encourage Friday viewership of F1 more than what it is now. Grid position of this race will be decided by a lucky draw of numbers. I think this was done in the road racing days of the Targa Florio and Mille Miglia? The order in which drivers draw numbers is decided by championship position after the previous race.
You had me at Vettel for CEO
Love the new calendar but you have to realise the teams usually fly to home base if there is more than a week between grandprix
Yeah all his ideas are neat in concept but as soon as you look into them they fall apart pretty badly.
man's delusional if he thinks letting an open rules book would make it easier to follow cars through a lap
He's delusional in general, this video is a collection of "old is gold" F1 Twitter opinions without any thought as to their actual effect or other things that may impact them
@@Ryzard so would you rather have oversized cars where reaching the weight limit is so hard that teams have hardly any paint on the cars to save weight, with barely any innovative ideas, bad stewarding decisions that can cost championships, too many street circuits and too many circuits in countries with bad human rights laws, too many races on the calendar which is forcing people to quit their jobs to spend more time with their families, a very incoherent race calendar that causes a large carbon footprint, only one driver winning all the time, no overtakes, and overall boring races because that's the state F1 is in right now
@@joshuateixeira2709god the thing about the circuits really gets me. started playing f1 manager and didnt actually realize just how many of the track are not really race tracks at all but are just clearly designed to look good on TV and for fans. You can only actually "race" on like half of them and that really says a lot about the state of f1. racing comes after all the marketing and PR stuff
@@joshuateixeira2709 12:00 His cars are still too big.
The teams fly home between races, so his calendar doesn't save much.
But yes: fewer races would be better. And fewer city circuits.
Brook didn't understand the issues. Formula 1 is of such a high technical quality that there are hardly any more failures. That is the biggest difference from the past. In 1992, for example, Senna only finished in 8 of 16 GPs.
Free regulations and no budget cap would make everything worse; the small teams would have no theoretical chance at all.
@@walterhofer937 I definitely think we need to go back to France and Germany, it's such a shame not having races there in F1. I also want to see more teams. If I had the power, I would have 20 races a years with 13 teams and 26 drivers. I'd also try to find some way to make the F1 cars smaller
I just know that you've been making a list of every little gripe or problem you've had at every race weekend and are trying to solve all of them 😄
As a South African i can 100% confirm that comment. Power is off in 2 hours for 2 hours then later again this afternoon. Give this man a medal, he did his research!
A lot of this is extremely unrealistic and very difficult to achieve but the most insane part of the video is the expectation you put on celebrities. Forcing them to take an entrance exam and demanding that they thank Martin Brundle whenever he walks past reads as really petty fanboy driven jealousy. It’s nice when celebrities have an active interest in the sport but they have the right to come along and be themselves if a team has invited them.
Why is it unrealistic? It's unlikely but certainly not unrealistic. If the will is there, the FIA can do pretty much whatever they want.
@@Arsenic71because no f1 fan will be ever test for f1 knowledgeable to be able watch it. So why should they?
@@Arsenic71 if a celeb wants to pay for a pass or gets invited why do they have to care about who they are if the person that is interviewing them doesnt know ie the patrick mahomes paolo thing during the first miami race
yeah that seems weird to me. When people mock celebrities just for existing in the F1 area. They dont harm anyone. Focus on the real issues
I understand that celebrities who only appear on the grid to further their influence and presence in pop culture are just very annoying, but an entrance exam? You might as well just allow active and former motorsport personalities on the grid because no celebrity would take this exam anyways. I'd suggest that if a celebrity wants to be part of the grid, they can apply for it but will have to shoot a light hearted version of a grill the grid episode with easier questions. That way you make sure that the celebrities have to interact with the content of the sport and not just stand in front of an F1 car for their Instagram.
Regarding the engine rules you stated, I wouldn’t restrict it to being a V10. I would allow V8s and V12s as well, just like how when Ferrari was the only V12-powered team when everyone else was running Cosworth V8s.
Fuck it, whatever internal combustion engine you please. As long as it’s just the engine without any hybrid additives.
V8? Yes
V10? Hell yeah
V6 turbocharger with massive volume? Probably useless but go for it
Radial engine? If you can do it why not.
Supercharged W16? If you can make that thing fit and run without ripping itself, the car, the driver and the asphalt apart, you damn fuckin earned the right to run it.
Maybe limit the minimum pistons to 8 or the configuration to V if we want to be reasonable.
@@Ballin4Vengeance Audi F1 with a turbo I5?
Oh my god the idea of Darrell Waltrip announcing an F1 race is magnificent, I agree 100%, also the idea of F1 doing a throwback weekend like Nascar does at Darlington is magnificent
Great video! I think i speak for everyone when I say getting rid of the cost cap is the worst idea in this video. Along with removing design restrictions we'll end up with another 2014-2020 Merc dominance. Still thoroughly entertaining. Would love to see the 75th anniversary race and historical race liveries back.
The worst idea is definitely giving Nelson Piquet the right to consume oxygen within a 500 mile radius of any FIA-sanctioned event.
@@TheFinalMeowntdown Is it really though? Man is a bit of a prat and doesn't know when to just not say things he shouldn't BUT he was a damn good driver and i think strictly speaking, Nelson is an intelligent individual who knows sometimes he can take it too far and he's mature enough to apologize and move on. The least we could do is not hold a grudge towards him because life too short to hold petty grudges like that
@@stinkyroadhog1347 What a load of waffle, if he was as intelligent as you claim he wouldn’t have biases based on skin colour would he?
@@stinkyroadhog1347YES it is
Getting rid of the cost cap is the BEST idea in this video.
Just ten minutes in and already I can tell that this isn't so much of an attempt to fix things as to design your own dream Formula One series. You remove the cost cap which would make only big manufacturers able to really compete in F1, but then remove hybrid engines and return to old V10 engines, essentially removing the main reason so many manufacturers are trying to join F1 nowadays. The US races are removed not because they produce bad racing or are not properly designed for F1, but "because they are cringe" (which immediately tell me it was removed due to your own personal opinion, not due to facts).
When I saw the video, I was excited because I thought that I would finally get to see a realistic take on "fixing" F1 that doesn't just devolve into the usual "Bring back V10s! Just European races!" etc. After all, your videos are so well researched and you know so much F1 history, so if any CZcamsr would be able to bring good, realistic changes to F1, it would be you.
And yet, ten minutes in and its pretty much all it was. The only good ideas you brought forward are the change of the order of the races to limit travel time (important especially when F1 is trying to be carbon neutral, though unfortunately unrealistic due to all the scheduling restrictions races have) and the removal of races from countries committing human rights abuse. Everything else is just nostalgia wanking.
or the fact that he talked about changing only the damaged tyre when they get a puncture. he forgets that there is a balance to have between both front tyres and rear tyres to make the chassis/suspensions/tyres work properly. but no... just throw a new tyre on a car with 3 other almost dead tyres and have a laugh !! not !!!
i think my problem with the regs part is the 70s and 80s are viewed with so much nostalgia that a lot of people forget there usually was a dominant car, it's just reliability wasn't like what it is today. as we have seen, even before regs were super strict. cars will generally look the same and will complete (from new) a grand prix distance easily. even not from new, it is not impossible to go a full season without incurring grid penalties. Without the cost cap I think we will have more 2022 & 2023 red bulls as there is a right way to build a car and over the years some teams have come very close to the perfect one. plus, with no cost cap, RB/Merc/Ferrari throw a billion euro at a car while the rest of the teams start protesting that you cut the races the sponsors with the most money want on the calendar.
also the broadcasting stuff just doesn't seem like it's something FIA has control over? I know you appointed the CEO f1 ceo in this senario, so assumingly you can control who you sell broadcasting rights to, but beyond that you don't have much say. Just feels like you're trying to reignite the FISA-FOCA war but rebrand it the FIA-FOM war
"celebrities must pass an F1 knowledge exam" 🤓☝
How about a go cart race or something goofy also included in the non championship race? Would be interesting, like on lawnmowers or scooters
I think kart is a much better idea than using old F1 cars in the off season race
Let this man plan the new F1 calendar! Just, you know, don't let him near anything else..
You failed to mention a cost cap for food and drink at the races. I paid $65 for two hotdogs and two beers at Austin last year. It's outrageous.
What a laugh!
Piquet should never be allowed near an F1 race again. Would be basically saying that racism is fine as long as you were successful
Peter was definitely blindsided by rose tinted nostalgia goggles when making this video
Absolutely. Most of the old stuff would SUCK now
agreed
"Strong Motoring heritage and culture" Imagine saying this after silverstone early days. then we would have no Races other than the UK and France
Run only naturally apirated powerplants and sustainable fuels with a 18k rpm limit to extend the service life
This would be great if a magic genie gave every team 100 trillion dollars just for fun.
tobacco companies probably would
Make Peter Brook an FIA's president yesterday... What a video! 🙇♂️💯
To be fair, I didn't watch the video yet. But from the thumbnail alone, it seems like you, just likea lot of F1 fans, are just longing for nostalgia and wanting to go back to whatever existed before without taking the time to think why some of these changes have been made. I always found this "traditionalism" for a lack of a better word, extremely ironic and contradictory to the spirit of F1 sport which is in essence based on innovation and looking ahead to the future and cutting edge technology. People like to cry about the V6, but if you took an engineer from the 70'sand told them that one day we could pull 1000bhp from a 1.6L engine, they would be pleasantly surprised and fascinated.
My second comment seem to have been deleted lol. Maybe someone was triggered by it. But I will post it here as a comment and see if it would be deleted again.
So basically another European crying for a mor eurocentric F1 😂. Removing the whole middle eastern countries under the excuse of the absence of human rights when the sports itself was founded by European countries in the middle of colonial wars and their astrocities is beyond ironic. The US is by far the biggest waring country in recent times and you have no problem giving them a race.
I know a lot of Europeans hate to hear that, but F1 is an international sport. It is called the World Championship for a reason. And that argument of favoring countries with motorsport history is ludicrous. How would you want for new countries to develop the so called "history" if you dont allow them to start at some point? Also, see how all the "permanent" curcuits are in Europe? Thank you for proving my point.
To be clear, I dont think this youtuber is nefarious or has bad intentions. He is just so biased he doesn't even realize the absurdity of what he is asking for. Also, I do agree that 4 Middle-Eastern Grand Prix is too much, but not for the same reason. My reason is since the sport is a World sport, having 4 countries from the same small region is too much. This also goes for Europe. Having a small continent hosting half of the calender takes all credibility from calling it a World Chamlionship. The Middle-East should keep 1 or 2 races and rotate regularly. Just the same for Europe. They should keep around 5 and rotate. I know that some Europeans would find this egregious, but try to remove your bias tainted glasses for a second and you will see it makes total sense.
Fuck your v6 and 1000hp
"I'm removing the cost cap".. lol... So, the one team that has the most money will get most of the money and keep dominating. A fucking good idea... edit: and getting back to ICE only.. I think this is "i want the good old days back" when overtaking was rare.
I'm only halfway through the vid and i LOVE the whole sarcastic energy 💀💀💀
Imagine Lewis Hamilton and George Russell driving their BrawnGPs and BARs and the heritage events. I'd buy a ticket just to see that.
Two British drivers on two old British cars. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Those engine regulations are so goofy and non-sensical I genuinely can’t tell if it’s a joke.
2 things.
1. Remove DRS from qualy, it has no place there as it is an overtaking tool, and you really don’t need to overtake with DRS in qualy.
2. As a preface, I’m a dumb American. That being said, I enjoy listening to Crofty. He’s got good energy, a wide knowledge of the sport, a good flow, and (I think) he’s just a good presenter.
Love the heritage livery idea. I would suggest adding a democratic vote between the teams/drivers on a number of years to choose the liveries from; say, 4 options. Then, the most popular vote dictates what year the heritage liveries must be from
But Haas would be screwed. They don't even have 4 iconic liveries. In fact, they only have 2. And they're iconic because it's a meme. I personally would love to see a Haas adorned in the Stars and Stripes, like Santino Ferruci's Indy 500 livery. Also (although I'm not really a fan of it, I know, murder me) the Gulf livery which was loved by fans wouldn't be allowed because to my knowledge McLaren never ran a Gulf livery in Formula One.
@@potatogirlcultist19 McLaren did run a gulf livery in testing for one of the years afaik, before Gulf fucked off to GTs.
@@potatogirlcultist19They could do either a fauxback livery(what would a 70’s/80’s/90’s Haas look like?) or use some of the historical US team’s liveries. Penske’s Red White And Blue from 1976 when they won their only race or the black Shadow from 1975/6. Perhaps they could even bring light on some more forgotten US based teams like Parnelli or Eagle, who I believe were the first US team to compete in a race. And the dark blue would look really neat.
Not pictured: the immense web of competing interests and politics that would immediately move to get you replaced if you tried any of this
"Monaco is now a night race." Say no more - I'm sold!
With aero changes being so wide open, you're literally going to have cars so stupid fast that people will just pass out after taking one corner. You're missing that entirely. In the 70s and even 80s and 90s to some degree, there was never concern about drivers being able to handle the G forces. But in 2023. With no limit in aero development you're basically going to be have real life Red Bull X2010
That's not even to mention dirty air and the sheer cost to make cars, and safety concerns.
There's a reason rules came into being after the 70s. A lot of people died, and the racing... Well... A lot of the time it was shit to be honest.
The amount of money now to develop the best car is entirely in a different DIMENSION compared to the 70s. The amount of fabrication techniques and testing facilities, AI applications, etc. To be used would make all but the richest team backmarkers.
Turkey cannot be on the calendar by your criteria tbh
Or Malaysia, or Singapore
Why not?
Talking about banning countries that commit human rights abuses. Puts Turkey back on the calender. Exactly my humor.
Hiring Vettel and dropping all the middle eastern races are 2 huge Ws
and bringing back Malaysia during monsoon season "where it belongs", you are truly speaking for us 90s/00s fans
FIA and F1 in particular desperately need people like you Peter! I think the sport went in very bad direction and became duller and lost its charm somehow. Fundamental changes are required and this is a great contet showing one of the ways how could be done! Keep going!
I mainly agreed with parts of this video, but I still have some opinions.
1. Most manufacturers are unlikely to make a V10 engine, so I think a V8 engine might be a better choice, not just can bring more manufacturers, but also be easier to make fine-tune.
2. Speaking of tyre suppliers, I want to see far more manufacturers (like Goodyear, Dunlop, Michelin, Hankook & Continental) like in the early days.
3. In Q3 of Monaco, I want to see a one-shot format (at least to make crashes on purpose less likely to happen).
4. Prize allocation should be equal for every team.
5. I 100% disagree about scrapping the cost cap, but I think the currently cost cap is also not much great, my suggestion is to exclude the cost of car damage, tyres, transport & fuel.
6. I want to see some more in-depth stats on the world feed (such as braking input that is not just on-off, thermal camera & current pace), and less AWS PREDICTION!
7. Adelaide (GP layout) doesn't exist anymore, so I think The Bend Motorsport (still FIA Grade 2) might be a great option for rotating with Albert Park.
i'd keep the V6 turbo layout with no hybrid system. i'd take off engine limitations. like max rpm and so on... those V6 in full majesty could rev over 20k rpm. we reach about 13k now. so unrestricted V6 turbo with green fuel would be the shortest way to get a great engine in F1. they already have the base. have you ever heard of a V6 revving at 20k+ rpm? good Lord...
I agree with about 90% of this. This is very detail. Amazing job
I think the cost cap is a good idea and should be kept, especially when the technical regulations are wide open for all teams to experiment to create their ideal machine.
Without a cap, you can expect big teams like Mercedes, Ferrari, and Red Bull to just pour all their resources to slap everything and the kitchen sink in a single machine, which would allow them to monopolize the championship every season.
by keeping the cap tight, this will force teams to adopt certain systems, and you can end up with a grid with machines that are all unique enough to stand out.
As for engines, just keep the engine types open. If a team can do well in a V6, let them. Hell, if a backmarker is struggling financially and can only afford to run a 4-cylinder, let them. This may also open more engine suppliers, and create a sort of "engine war."
And if we do end up allowing NA and turbo engines to share the grid, we may need to revive the Jim Clark and Colin Chapman trophies for winning drivers/teams that run on NA engines.
I have a problem with Monza being that early into the championship. It just feels a bit illegal lol
Ok hear me out:
Tech regs- I dont agree with your cost cap removal, due to the spread it would recreate, but I do approve of more technical ingenuity. Teams should have the 1.5L turbo or the 3.0L NA rule, along with the 500kg minimum weight, but may I suggest that teams also have to create their own tires. This would mean all manufacturers would have to choose between where they put their resources, whether it be weight, power, or grip. I also think the engines should not HAVE to be v10s, but rather any format that manufacturers please. It would also be cool to get rid of the 20k rpm limit (seems unlikely that someone would bypass that, but who knows 😉)
Calendar-While I agree that for most countries 1 GP is enough, the US is huge. So how about instead of axing miami and vegas, you replace them with two tracks that have f1 history and are iconic venues: Watkins Glen and Long Beach. (Assuming they both go grade 1 for the occasion, but just assume the best)
Yhe rest I agree with.
That or COTA and Indianapolis.
@Ryzard I personally dont like indy road, but COTA IS always solid.
@@lordjuvenile9068 I think Indy road is pretty decent but nothing insane, I just think the heritage stands out, and it's generally one of the most racing-focused areas in the world (as someone who regularly travels there)
I do have to say though, I absolutely love Watkins Glen if they could ever get it safe for F1.
I actually like the idea of an FIA operated 13th team, especially to give young drivers a chance to show their potential. Maybe also to put it in the care of an established junior formula team which could be put to tender every say in a 3-season cycle (the likes of ART, Carlin and DAMS immediately come to mind as viable candidates). With the chassis development outsourced like Haas do at the moment with Dallara.
As for the other two slots, I agree, welcome Andretti in with open arms, even more so if they can bring GM/Cadillac on board. And the 12th team? well if Hitech can prove they can be financially viable, I think they can be a decent option as a new customer team
Agree with it all, with a few addendum's:
Mandatory speeds: 220mph at Monza. You don't make the trap speed, you don't make the grid.
Along with the 2 engine configurations you mentioned, testing added for science "projects": sustainable 4 cylinder 500bhp engines that can be transfered to regular cars; technology flows from F1 to street cars again.
I would say add another tire manufacturer, as that will really increase the road car tire development side, like it used to.
Over all, love your "Benevolent Dictatorship", and will vote that direction when given the chance.
IndyCar has a rough history with Vegas, and Miami is just a bad track in general, so I don’t think dumping these two tracks on IndyCar would be the greatest decision. Anyways, great video as always, and I honestly hope someday we can vote you in as FIA President
Vegas seems even worse than Miami, it's a Champ-car era street circuit under steroids.
Even the Road course at LVMS would have been better
You've got around 500 comments about cost cap already so I won't delve into that.
I'll center around the calendar, but there are a few things I'd add: replace DRS with a push to pass system similar to what is used on indycar and superformula. Similar to Indy too, if you cause a red in a qualy session, you get all times stripped and become unable to resume that session, so if you cause a red in Q2 you'll start last of those who made it there. We don't need more rain tyres, the problem with the current ones is that they move too much water, making visibility difficult. Maybe the only thing not F1 worth mentioning, every team in F3 needs to have women driving in at least 80% of the GPs.
Now onto my main part:
-16 to 20 races means 20 most of the time, so I'd just shorten it to 20 unless cancellations
-Limiting street circuits would make racing in countries like Germany, Denmark and Australia (despite what it looks like, Albert Park IS a street circuit) more difficult
-What does a strong moto racing heritage and culture even mean? Does having a track in the calendar for decades but never producing talent to race in it count? If no then places like Hungary don't count. Can it be any kind of moto racing? Then we need to go to Sweden. Also, heritage is something that can be built out of nothing, look at Turkey. It had nothing to do with F1 20 years ago, but now, with less than 10 GPs ever raced there, everyone would kill their offspring to have it race there.
-I think we NEED a race at Motorland Aragon, not only because that place kicks ass, but also because Montmelo is a much better circuit for testing than for racing
-It is physically impossible to revive Adelaide, some of the streets used don't exist anymore
-Everybody would love for a Formula One race in Malaysia... except for Malaysians themselves. Let them stick to MotoGP. While that spot could be used for tracks like Buriram or Mandalika (if it ever wants grade 1 status), I believe the result would be the same regardless. The calendar would need to be moved forward to allow a race at idk, Korea?
-The Nurburgring doesn't have the money to host a GP (in fact, I don't think any track there does). That being said, I'd love to see racing back in Germany, even if it's an extension of Tempelhof
-All tracks in France suck, I'd update the Bugatti circuit in Le Mans and see how that turns out. Otherwise, I guess we'll have a street race around Disneyland?
-Now that I think about it, because of the large landmass and population of the US, I wouldn't mind having a second race there, be it at Road America, Las Vegas or Indianapolis
-The rightful place of the season finale is Suzuka, don't let them lie to you. But, for the sake of completelly avoiding typhoon season and for the sake of carbon neutrality, I'll allow it
-No such thing as places with heritage status. All those places missed seasons because of one thing or another, what would you do if Indy comes back to the calendar, grant it to it too? What about places that, albeit not from day one, have been in F1 for countless editions now, like Montreal or the Hungaroring?
-Even if the track came back, please don't use the forest section, it was removed not only because it broke down engines, but because it sucked
-Foro Sol is not stupid. Maybe the banking can come back in the future with a full track renovation, but the atmosphere you get there doesn't happen anywhere else on the calendar
-While most of what you said about Spa is agreeable, it is still necessary to do something, even if it is "let's not race there in rain"
We would all love some gravel traps. But let's be realistic. Circuits also host other championships and they need to make money. What would you do with gravel and grass when Moto GP races on the circuit?
F1 should not race at so many Moto GP circuits. Especially Catalunya.
@@nicksurface3513Why not
My only hang up is not running Monaco the last weekend in May. In the US, it's an awesome day of racing from beginning to end with the Monaco GP opening the day, the Indy 500 as the meat of the sandwich, and a nightcap of the World (now Coke) 600. All day is racing. From about 9 am EST all the way till midnight.
Agreed, the Labor Day triple header is the greatest day in racing imo. Love the rest of this though
Just use live stream🎉
1:08. I can’t tell you how happy it made me to see everyone straining their necks to look up at the drone while Kimi looked straight ahead. I miss that old turkey.
27:15 "Alonso is immortal and daddy's cash is holding the team hostage" Brutal but honest... like this video to be honest. I love how you don't just give everyone a clickbait calendar and call it a day, the amount of time and effort this must have taken is crazy and I love it.
9:54 Ah yes the glorious V10 like Schumacher's car
The technical innovation I would come up in this format is a 'dusruptor' basically a venturi tunnel that maximises the wake behind the car creating a forcefield of turbulent air meaning you can't be overtaken, DRS or not!
Great video as always Peter. Always living up to your expectations. Impatiently waiting for the next one. You bring a lot of interesting ideas, I’m specially in favour of opening the regulations to maximise creativity. Not sure if it’d work but I’m sure it’s worth the try. And also in favour of adding more teams, as there’s more action and more grid slots for new drivers.
Giving how many videos surrounding the points system you made, I’m surprised the only change was 1 point for pole position. With the grid opening up for 13 teams, it’ll be harder to make it into the points, so I’d consider changing the points system to the top 12 instead of the top 10. I think Indycar’s system is also quite interesting, as finishing 13th is better than finishing 14th in a realistic way, and drivers would always have the incentive of making a move and not just stay there without giving an f.
In my opinion, multiple tyre suppliers wouldn’t make any good to the sport. It’s one element that drivers can’t control and teams can’t change in the whole season. There’s been seasons where the tyre distributor was more important than any talent that a driver had, and I think that’s not where the sport should go. I would stick to one supplier, in my opinion.
Great take on the tyres.
The tyre war sucked. Let's be real. It sucked. Some of the most damaging (reputation wise) races in F1 history circled around tyre wars.
Brother you had me at Sebastian Vettel.
The grid penalties carrying over to each race until they are paid off is a horrible idea as backmarker teams would just start last each race
My proposals would be the following:
-Every new track has to have hosted a race before and attracted a certain number of fans, so no new street circuits unless they mean racing seriously.
- Also every new country needs to have had an F1 driver in the last 10 years.
- DRS will work like Push to Pass, so you can use it to defend as well.
- Qualifying will stay largely the same, but pole is decided in a one lap shootout.
- the pre-race Grids will be eliminated, and drivers will drive to the formation lap from the pits.
- Not a F1 thing perse, but you need a super licence point to take part in F2.
- Front and rear wings are produced by third parties after FIA's designs, so unwanted dirty air is eliminated ( different non spec versions will be available).
- Refuelling will be allowed, but the available quantity of fuel will be reduced.
- And lastly there will be a spirit of the regulations rule in the rules, so the FIA can close loopholes quickly
great video, this is something ive thought about for a long time and im glad someone actually took it this seriously to make a 45 min video about it.
i agree with most of the points and changes, but all of them are impossible due to the economics of it. You cant just remove sky f1, lower prices and remoce pay races (like all middle eastern ones) and expect the fia to then pay 1 billion to 12 teams, have their own team and feasably do any of the changes you proposed.
yes, these changes would 100% make f1 a better sport and spectacle, but you have to think that if it was that clear cut they would have done them already. They havent done them because they cant
Honestly selecting the host countries on “human rights” is a bit simplistic. First of all you should remove Turkey and Malasya by your calendar, maybe even Hungary and Brazil.
All that remains is western Europe and a couple of Nato allies.
Plus, some may argue that even Western countries are not so pure-hearted in fact. You create a situation in which is very difficult to understand where to draw the line.
But, most importantly, F1 is full of hypocrites and, even if they speak about inclusivity and ecology, they would never give up middle east and petroleum money
THANK YOU.
"human rights" is all relative anyway, in the west opressing gay people is bad, in the middle east not oppressing gay people is bad. which one actually respects human rights depends on your opinion. just as one example. its no surprise the only places left is western europe and nato allies because when most people talk about human rights they're really just talking about western culture. one could just as easily make the case that the UK's treatment of migrants constitutes human rights abuses and the british gp should be banned.
A Grand Prix in Finland would be soooo great. Finnish drivers won 4 WDC and have combined earned 58 wins (59, if we count that one in, that Mika Salo had to give to Eddie Irvine), and there has never ever been a race in their home country. Finland is the only country that gave us (even multiple) world champion drivers without ever having a race on home soil. The KymiRing would be a nice track to race on.
I have some changes (you bet there's gonna be a part 2):
1. Less variation on the penalties. If you send them out of the race purposefully, you get disqualified, but if you just damage them purposefully while receiving noticeable damage (drivers can't claim they're damaged when they aren't, instead stewards consult lap times) you get a 10-second penalty, but if you aren't damaged, you get a 10-second-stop-and-go penalty. Not pitting should be a 20-second time penalty.
2. There has to be limited testing, wind tunnel and CFD work, and teams must not be allowed to collect data other than the amount of fuel in a car during practice, qualifying and the race. They can consult lap times and their drivers for more information (see Formula E for proof this works).
3. A few more regulations on car design to restrict elements of the car that increase turbulent air.
4. Teams should have Thursday afternoon and Friday morning for practice before qualifying Friday afternoon and sprints on Saturday. The Q3 qualifiers should their final positions after Q3 being reversed (i.e. pole position driver starts 10th), instead of having a sprint shootout, but the final position after Q3 is where all drivers start for the main race. This is so that rather than having a dominant driver like Verstappen waltz away from everyone else, he'll have to fight up the top 10 in sprints. Also, 1 point is awarded for 10th and 10 are awarded for 1st.
5. Only naturally aspirated carbon-neutral engines. They sound better than turbos and there shouldn't be 2 types of engines.
6. No F.I.A-run team. That's just too expensive. Instead, give a $15 million dollar bonus to teams that take rookies for the rookies' first year. You bet backmarkers will eat that up.
7. $150m cost cap, not including drivers, with it being adjusted for inflation and rounded every year.
8. At least $80m for last place, going up to $250m for first. I know that's a lot, but I don't care.
Here comes part 2:
9. No non-championship race. There are a lot of problems with that.
10. For Spa: I thought of just making a mini barrier of softened tires about 35 meters away from the actual barrier. It wouldn't be able to come close to stopping a car, and thus wouldn't provide a chance for them to lose their lives early, but would slow the car down, increasing safety at Eau Rouge.
11. No yellow flags for qualifying. That would be highly unfair for drivers who hadn't completed a representative lap time yet. Instead, red flags pause qualifying.
12. Instead of being required to run a classic livery at every heritage race, they must do so at at least one. Otherwise, there won't be enough classic liveries left. Plus, they have to take off tobacco sponsorships.
13. No Nelson Piquet. Keep the bigot away from F1, championships be damned.
14. Change the schedule. This involves too much work for me, but you have to change some stuff.
❤ as a South African, thank you. Fantastic video, as always.
i actually agree with most of the stuff in this video. Maybe 8 wheeled-cars would be a bit extreme, and i think there should be some sort of limit in the technical regs in order to prevent the cars being literally too quick and be able to provide good racing on track. There are things that i don’t think are really necessary, like the non-championship race in equal cars, or helmet designs/special liveries, and the trivia quiz for celebrities, but when it comes to the actual substance you were spot on in my eyes. I love how strong you are on the fundamentals and the dna of F1, something that the newer fans don’t quite understand for now, i wish people from the series’ management and the FIA were just as strong on them too
Yeah, a lot of the ideas were neat but honestly fall apart under scrutiny at all.
No cost cap/regs? Death machines imminent, and dominance of course.
V10s only? What about innovation without regs? Plus that means that no manufacturer would want in besides Ferrari or maybe Lamborghini.
Drivers with race requirements being all the stewards? You mean the same drivers who often have brain damage after retiring (crashes), grudges or friendships with active teams and drivers, and are known to often be irrational or quick to anger? Naw.
Also testing celebrities and making them say hi is just a way to make sure none ever come, and it's obvious bias against some of the celebs that have ignored Brundle.
4:57 So true. I'd instantly get rid of Miami & Las Vegas if I had the power
But not to indycar :v indycar is too good for those
Something i would like to add is a rule that says at least 90 percent of the car must be painted. I don't like new cars that are all black to save weight with less paint.
2 things I would change, keep the cost cap. And set a specific date that the teams can start designing the cars. Too many teams start pre-season testing with numerous races to go
i think the focus on synthetic fuels is the best idea. f1 has this reputation of being on the cutting edge, and honestly in most people's minds that's electric, but there's formula e, and it just feels wrong, so they compromise with hybrid, not quite the cutting edge, but still new tech, it is a compromise tho. and having f1 be the other side, hydrogen or synthetic or w/e is a bit best of both worlds, cutting edge tech and you can say no hybrids. i don't think it'll be v10s ever again though, not with turbos and how good smaller block engines are now.
As a marshal from Germany, I will say your European calendar will most certainly run understaffed or with inexperienced marshals. You may not know, but it is at least a 4 day commitment traveling to and from each F1 event. Not that many marshals will have this many holiday to spare each month along with additional expenses. Since marshals need qualifications to even be considered for the event, you will quickly exhaust your experienced marshals if so many races are held in such a short time. Lastly, and you may not know this, FIA and FOM don't have a budget for marshals. Thus, it is up to the organizers to attract marshals to their events and let's just say there isn't a budget for that either. So to add to your list: budget for the marshals!
I would love to see Monaco at night. Really, I would keep Monaco on the same weekend but move it to Saturday night and offer a huge prize for any driver that can win Monaco, Indy and Charlotte back-to-back-to-back
Most of your ideas are great (some are dubious) and will bring back the passion of the sport whilst still keeping entertainment value. I have been following F1 since the late 1960's and have witnessed many of your proposals in practice. For those against 13 teams due to the clutter especially in turn 1, one can still restrict the number of participants in a race to 20. Thus make it still worth qualifying 20th.
Thank you very much, I couldn‘t agree more although I think with so many cars, the Top-15 should be awarded points with the same system as MotoGP
+ I would really change the penalty system back to the old days. Only drive through and 5-10 Stop and Go penalties for jump starts, pit-violations and causing crashes. + I wouldn’t really make track limits an issue because they didn’t really did make one in the 2000s and it worked out fine. I wouldn’t hand out penalties easily but only for bad stuff
Otherwise I agree wholeheartedly
Bullshit, points need to be earned, not given away. Top 6 was perfect, it meant that even if a good amount of cars retired only the top drivers got points. Under the current rules if a *single* car retires, more than half of the finishing grid get points, which is pathetic.
@@JohnDaubSuperfan369 Top 6 was only there because that's half of the drivers who finished the race. There were almost no races in which more than 10 cars finished with a grid up to 28 cars strong.
@@eggselent9814 Yes and no, mostly no. For more than half of the grid to score points under the top 6 system considerably more than half of the grid had to retire, where as now if a single car retires more than half of the grid automatically get points. A fundamental difference!
The points system itself definitely wasn't built around poor car reliability, the points system was built around the fact that out of a grid of however many cars only the very top finishers deserve points, otherwise points themselves are entirely pointless. The World Rally Championship used the same top 6 scoring system during its heyday and those were the tightest seasons the sport has ever had, and how many entries did an average World Rally have at the turn of the century? Regularly well over a hundred, all eligible for points, yet only the top 6 were worthy of them.
Mick Schumacher, in all his mediocrity,
netted 12 points in his career, did he deserve that many? Hell no! Under proper scoring he would have scored 1 point, which seems about fair for his efforts. Alpha Tauri netted 35 points as a team last season despite finishing in the top 6 only once. Did they deserve 35 points for their campaign? Absolutely not! Even Williams finished last season with some points in the bag, which is absolutely outrageous given their performance.
The more points you award the less they are worth. The FIA nor Liberty Media would never admit this, but the real reason they pump out so many undeserved points nowadays is simply because it brings more money into the sport, it's easier to attain financial backing when a team has "scored points to prove their worth". It's a joke, like everything else about the sport.
@@JohnDaubSuperfan369 This is simply wrong. Usually only 8-12 cars finished a race and many of them were up to 10 laps down. The system was most definitely built around car reliability, which is also why only your best results counted towards the championship. More consistent drivers were punished, which is bs. The most consistent driver should win the title. That's why the 2003-2008 system was the best and made for F1s best modern seasons (except 2012). The old points system was stupid for F1 (not WRC) as it made the gap between the biggest teams and the smaller teams pretty big in the years when F1 got more and more reliable and was essentially outdated by the late 80s.
@@eggselent9814 I would be in favour of the top 8 system if they bothered to fix it. The winner should get 12 points under that system to preserve the difference between first and second, because it sure as shit can't be the same as between second and third. Once again, the grid would have to be well bigger than 20 cars for this system to ensure no undeserved points are being handed out.
Also worth pointing out that the top 6 system used during the 90s' and early 00's did *not* "punish" anyone for performing, all points counted towards the championship, as they should. That is the points system all FIA sanctioned motorsport series should use, it's the only one with a solid structure, and it doesn't award points for simply finishing the race.
What was before that is quite irrelevant, neither one of us would willingly sit through a race from the 70's or 80's, they're about as boring as today's races. The sport was at its very peak during the 90's and comfortably slipped into being a thing of the past by the late 00's, if we want to resurrect it that is the time period we need to be taking cues from.
The bottom line is that points are there to be earned, not handed out like medals at the special olympics. They are *the only thing* that teams and drivers race for so make them worth something.
1. Qualifying
The grid gets split into 2 groups, 1 driver from each team. Each group runs their own 10-13 driver qualifying. The bottom half of each group then has their own final qualifying. Finally the top half of each group has their own qualifying.
We end up with 4 qualifying sessions with a maximum of 10-13 drivers in each thus limiting the problems with too many cars on the grid in usual Q1 and Q2 conditions.
2. Engines
1.5L at 4 bar is hugely superior to 3L at atmospheric, i would suggest 2 stroke turbos with direct injection.
3. Refuelling is back 70L maximum size tanks, no refuelling during red flag conditions.
4. Cars have a minimum weight (no fluids, no driver). The teams must provide balast to bring the driver+balast to a minimum of 100kg. (Full race gear at start of race) weigh over in race gear and you team will get you into fat camp pretty quick. Weigh under then the team has limited positions they can place the balast.
5. Like the european GP, change Malaysia to be a rotating GP. Malaysia, + Whoever else feels like it. (Veitnam, India, 2nd Aus Gp [Adelaide/Tailem Bend/whatever Sydney is trying], 2nd Japanese GP ,NZ) etc.
6. Helmets, with the FIA's permission a driver may run a special helmet outside of their 3 design limit.
7. The commercial rights holder is to not copyright strike external content creators if they comply with certain reasonable conditions (tone/length).
You had me sold when saying about alternating the Australian race between Melbourne and Adelaide.
But we don't need the Devil DeResta back, no more.
Your fetish for proper fine print gets a thumbs up from me mate. Good job on the terms and conditions!
If you’re really committed to the human rights violation rule, you’d have to remove Hungary, Turkey, the United States, and probably some others that I missed.

@@MCDgaming58 Correct. All of those still fit.
As a South African with rolling blackouts (my next one is 8pm) and a non-existent economy, yeah. I know people here want F1, but we've got bigger problems.
You had me through the whole video. You sold me at Need For Speed Porsche Unleashed.
I was hoping the v12s would get a mention but v10s are close enough
Hi Peter, most of the stuff you said in this video is exactly the same things I've said i want to see in f1. Having a look at your channel too it seems you focus on the less popular teams and i think thats really good you give them coverage so I'll subscribe!
I agree with some ideas (firing Domenicali, shorter calendar, more engeneering freedom, more qualified race judges) and less with others (return of V10s, no budget cap, tests for celebrities, non championship and non canon races). I have notes on my own:
1) In Domenicali's I would put someone with a bit of F1 experience but also from the outside: Mario (or his son Michael Andretti) if they don't make to F1, or Bobby Rahal. Ones who clearly know how to break the US market and to not jump the shark.
2) GP Rounds part 1: 22 races are alright too in my opinion. To the ones you proposed I would add a second US GP and a GP in Africa, maybe street races in Morocco or Egypt. I also would replace the Euro GP with the New Zealand round.
3) GP Rounds part 2: this is a very hot take but I think a good driver should be at worst decent at racing in Road Tracks, Street Circuits...and Ovals.
With this premise I would rotate the two US races between COTA, Indianapolis, a G1-updated Laguna Seca, Long Beach or Nashville Street Course, Texas Motor Speedway and maybe Charlotte.
For the same criteria I would rotate the German GP between Hockenheim, Nurburgring, a G1-updated Lausitzring oval or Tempelhof Airport track.
There should be maximum two ovals per year, as they should be attractions but not a new trend (like J.M. Balestre tried in late 80s and early 90s).
4) superlicense: F2, Super Formula, Fornula E and Indycar* should be at the same level as main leagues behind F1.
40 pts to the winner
30
25
20
15
10

6

However, Two marquee races, the Indy 500 and the Le Mans 24hrs (maybe even the Daytona 500, his own 24hrs or the Nascar Playoff, the latter for balancing) should award point of their own as they are more aknowledged mainstreamwise than their own leagues. 10 SL pts to the winners all the way to the 10th placed, who gains only a single SL point.
With this in mind there might be more experts drivers and less average rookies. If you're not a Verstappen or a Leclerc you should sharp your tools in another league before F1.
5) replace DRS with push-to-pass systerm, 180 seconds per race.
6) the FIA should be the one hunting for new teams and not the other way around. Instead of varoius processes it would be better contacting the single teams and see if they are worth or not.
Also, both makers and famous privateers like Penske, Ganassi, TOM'S or even Brabham should be prioritiesed over new ventures.
Tbh, a 1.5l V10 sounds very inpractical and overengineered. I think we should open up engines totally like before, any numver of cylinders, with a 3l max for NA engines and 1.5 for forced induction
If they did this F1 would be so much better. Also NFS Porsche 2000 was amacing
Here's my idea, just get rid of Formula 1 and allow the twitter psychos to decide the champion, *that'll be fun...*
Without putting regulations limiting aero components we aren't gonna be getting any close racing because of the aero wash.
I Not Completely Agree (Particularly For The Calendar), But I Fully Appreciate Your These Video Because This Is Absolutely Brilliant (With Subtitles On Multiples Languages)!

You had me at no human rights abuses 🤩
You'd have to exclude half of his calendar.
Australia has indigenous youth abuses(look up police cages)
America over anti abortion
Turkey on terrorism sponsorship
Malaysia and Singapore on LGBTQ laws
And so on.
@@jnrdingo1233 My country, Canada also had and to a small extent, has a history of mistreating its natives
Domaniceli should go , what did you accepted he was a ferrari team principal, criminal.
Allow each driver 3 individual back to back qualifying laps where they are the only one on track and also drop Bahrain, China, Saudi Arabia, Baku, Miami and Qatar from the calendar and bring back Malaysia, Turkey and Germany.
A well thought out plan. Not sure about scraping the cost cap , could kill some teams. One thing you missed was help for the tracks. The fee to hold a race must be dramatically decreased so that the circuit owners don't have to rely on government handouts or massive oil money. The problem for the circuts is made worse by your lowering of ticket prices, which is a good idea.along with moving the race is from PayTV to regular TV. The whole business model for holding a race is broken and but for oil money and government intervention, the sport would die.
I used to be part of a group of about 30 people that would all meet at a local bar later in the day to discuss the race that day. This was started up back in 1981. After F1 moved to pay T, the numbers started to drop slowly over the years when finally the group just disbanded because no one was willing to pay a cost that kept going up. I know they claim the numbers of fans are up, but I don't know anyone who watches the races, if any now. I canceled my subscription over 5 years ago . I watch highlights on CZcams for the clasic races, but that's about it. I couldn't really care less about the sport now. If it folded, it wouldn't bother me at all, and that is a sad commentary on the sport from someone who has been watching F1 and motor sport since 1976. Today I'm a big WEC fan .
I dont see how a 1.5L turbo V10 with 5/4 bar (72/58 psi) of boost could possibly be considered fair with a heavier 3.0L V10, the 1.5L turbo is literally able to pump 3x the amount of air through it. With no fuel rate limiting mentioned, the lighter turbo engine is an easy choice.
Yeah the rule of thumb is double the boost pressure you double the air intake so 4 bar 1.5L turbo is taking in 6L effectively probs need to reduce the cylinders or the boost if you want equivalency and maybe reduce max revs as well
You're hired. Please report to Le FIA, 8 Place de la Concorde, Paris on Monday 10am.
edit: I wrote that about 20 mins in. at 40:15 I lost it completely. Genius.
I adore how you always find a way to make jokes about Monaco based youtuber
Bin the fuel idea. Bring back refuelling and allow ANY fuel desired - from diesel to nitromethane
