MONACO EXCEPTION: Due to the twisty and slow nature of the circuit, the Monaco Grand Prix does not adhere to the 305 km rule. It runs for 260 km, or 78 laps.
i just clicked on this cause i'm starved for F1 content. I didn't expect to actually learn anything new, but there were some fun facts i really didn't know about. Pretty cool
This can go on and on. Tires, fuel limits, the plank at the bottom of the car, what the pit wall can communicate to the drivers, pit stops and the crew, the marshalls, podium rules, etc.
This is a bit oversimplified though: What's a pitstop? What are track limits? What is parc fermé? Why are two cars per team? Why are different tyres? Why are some races at night? Etc...
Back on the car there is a wing. IT is used for better grip so the car sits in the corners and is not drifting around. During the race, starting with lap 2 (i think), drivers who are behind other driver by 1.5 sec or less when crossing DRS detection zone (just a spot before usually long straight starts) can use DRS on the straight (onl the marked ones, there are usually 1-3 drz zones on the circuit). When the driver enables DRS, the back wing opens causing less air drag and making the car slightly faster so there is chance for the driver to pass others easier. At the end of the straight, when driver press the brake pedal, the back wing closes and he can corner as usual.
@@MPez01 You are right plus it can be enabled after 1 lap has been completed (since 2024). F1 Rulezz: "The following car is within one second of the car to be overtaken, which may be a car being lapped."
@@btafbm Yes, it is! When disabled, the back wing looks like J shape or how to describe it, when enabled, the upper part turns horizontally, so it looks like two wing plane. Better seen if you search for the photos or videos.
12:10 For safety car restarts, a car may not overtake until they reach the control line, not safety car line 1. See 55.8 of the sporting regs. Been this way since 2019.
@@b29ak2007 The leader takes over when the SC's lights turn off and speeds away from the pack. The SC has to be in the pits and past SC Line 1 before the leader is allowed to overtake the SC on a restart.

The REAL cause of the end of green light start grand Prix was the light cell on the front wing of Benetton that almost moved the car by itself despite the driver's time of reaction.
Huh. I didn't expect to learn anything new from this apart from how the sprints were going to work this year. But that bit about why they just use red lights was interesting.
That what I had in mind a few years back about the safety car leaving the the track and using the white line start/finish for resuming the race than jumping the gun on corners as it makes a more fair racing than cheating
I liked f1 for long... From when i was kid.. So i thought i should learn the rules.. This video was truly educational. Thank you for explaining detail answering
Ive been really wanting to watch some f1 and learn more about it, i just dont know where to start. I want to know what races i should watch, where i can watch them, and just the basic things like the rules or anything like that. If you could help, i would be very thankful
Please explain about the pits. I try to explain them to my friends about pits, pit stops, time penalties, and also regulations, but they don’t seem to understand. Also make a short video about the drivers and teams on the paddock.
notice how at 2:58 when they talk about points, it goes from driver standings and then zooms in to say VERSTAdings while showing 370 points in p1 "plays dutch national anthem"
What happens when a driver goes too fast to stay on track during a turn and uses a competitor's car to ricochet back to the racing line? Depends on who is involved.
So the sprint qualifying determines the grid order for the sprint race. But what determines the grid order for the actual race on a sprint weekend (since there is no normal qualifying)?
FCY in F1 is different to Endurance racing for example, and it's rarely used. It literally is what it says. Yellow flag on the whole track. The entire track becomes a yellow flag zone.
I'll send this to my friend who freshly got into F1 (because of me) xD I tried explaining it to her since I've been watching for 22 years already but she doesn't LISTENNNNN xD
Way too simplified explanation. What are the rules in regards to tire management? What's the delta in a SC session? Can cars still be modified for the race? Yade yade...
Question: Mercedes front wing has been deemed legal. However if that slither of carbon fibre fails/breaks, is the car still legal? Do they get the meatball and have to replace the nose or can they continue with the race? Also, I believed the FIA clamped down on flexing front wings. Does that part flex within tolerance of that rule.
As with everything with the FIA, they only make changes when bad things happen. I wondered the same thing if contact was made, but those parts are meant to stick together during normal running if thats what youre concerned about. Im sure they made sure it wont be falling apart too easy, any front wing breaks apart on contact and fragments. Its carbon fiber, its how its supposed to react to impacts. It shouldnt be any bigger or smaller of a problem than any other front wing.
If the Merc's wing is dangling and has a chance if falling off and becoming debris, then yes they get the meatball. If the front wing is deemed legal, it will not be illegal if it is damaged, because it has been changed via an external factor, not the team.
@@PG-20 Thank you. That’s the answer I was looking for. I think Mercedes did well on this and interpreted the technical regulations in a innovative and legal way. It’s positive news that Mercedes are making gains but sad to think what could have been if they’d started out 2022 with a strong foundation.
