Time and time again in recent years it's felt like frustrating inconsistencies have meant you the fans, us the media, them the drivers and even F1 officials don't actually know what's allowed or not in wheel-to-wheel racing.
There's little worse in F1 than when you watch a great battle with two or more cars, things get a bit sketchy, and you just have no idea if it’s going to result in a penalty.
Whether it's overtaking on the inside or outside, lunging from far back, defending too aggressively - we've seen everything from hard but fair racing being punished to lairy over the top moves getting overlooked.
Something has changed this year to try to stop that - but you might not have noticed because it doesn't seem to have been published anywhere.

Alonso getting 3 penalty points for that accidental collision with Sainz from being on edge and Stroll getting only 2 after ramming a driver due to unawareness and still not admitting fault is the epitome of MaFIA. Also where’s the penalty for FIA for not calling Safety car when Bottas was out of his car on the runoff area?

@MrSniperfox29 Месяц назад

Logan getting exactly the same punishment as Stroll for the "crime" of being a foot behind a line and not seeing another car who was in his blind spot.

@MiskyWisky Месяц назад

Agree with your point 100%, but admitting fault shouldn't really be considered in a punishment. I don't think Lance's crash was not harsh enough, I think Alonso's penalty was way too harsh. The FIA needs to use a wider range of penalties for infractions, and be willing to penalize drivers without dishing out penalty points.

@jivewig Месяц назад

@@MrSniperfox29exactly, it was so close that Williams just didn’t have the equipment to figure out who was ahead, FIA had and they didn’t bother to even warn the team. Now Logan’s close to getting a race ban due to this stupidity. The worst part is FIA doesn’t have a self punishing or self check system so they just do whatever they want.

@@jivewig Indeed, IMO that's the fault of the FIA, not the driver or team. If they can clearly see who is ahead, to the point where they issue a penalty for it, then they should be able to do so in a reasonable amount of time, ie before the Safety Car is in, so that the team can be notified to take corrective action and put him back in the right spot before it's too late to do so. The fact that they don't handle such situations in real time is mind-blowing to me. Do they need to hire a few more people to actually watch the race so that they can point these things out? I don't get it.

@wolfhead74 Месяц назад

"Different officials will have different opinions" is exactly the problem and has been for a number of years. If you have a rule, it should either be so solid there can be no interpretation, or if it is open to interpretation then you should have the same officials at all races which should mean their interpretation would be more consistent. Also, as others have said, 3 points for Alonso for an over ambitious but truly racing move, yet only 2 for Stroll for a move born from paying zero attention to the cars around him and what amounts to reckless driving, is ridiculous and illustrates where the rules, if they are being applied fairly, are themselves at fault.

@hedlund Месяц назад

Yeah. I've yet to hear a single convincing argument in favour of rotating race officials. At a certain point (already crossed for me) the inconsistencies become more of a detriment to the racing than a singular 'problematic' official could be if they tried.

@justinwitt6364 Месяц назад

The idea that you do not have to leave space for the outside and can just run someone into the wall has completely ruined the racing for me one of the reasons i love running my own online servers is that I can set the rules being if a car is along side going into the corner (any wheel overlap) then you have to leave room no matter what side you are on you are entitled to room. The battles are much longer, more fair, and more fun to both participate in and watch because it means more wheel to wheel racing.

@nathangravel6042 Месяц назад

Yup! Crazy that sonebody ever has to yield. Imo if theres a car, dont turn into them. Simple

@kyleflizz23 Месяц назад

I’ve always thought why running someone off the road in a race is allowed. If you did that in real life in traffic you’d be charged

@brendanariki Месяц назад

This is how I see it too. It's pretty simple. Whenever there is a two-car overlap, the track gets divided into two. The lead car determines where that dividing line is. However, there must always be a car width+ of space left on the other side of the line for the second car to drive within. This space must always allow the second car to be safely and legally within track limits taking into account the track layout. For example, the space for the second car must allow for the presence of a wall, grass, gravel etc. This sets up a system that allows the cars to push and pull each other when they are side by side. Each trying to earn the right to guide the position of the dividing line, forcing the other into compromising their driving by narrowing the options they have available. As you say, racing like this online allows some great multi-corner battles that don't just end with one driver forcing the other off track.

@nirmaljoseph1402 Месяц назад

I don't understand why it is so difficult to find someone like Charlie Whiting (No disrespect to Charlie). His decisions were almost always correct and there wasn't a rulebook that needed to be referred for a slightly tough battle. Additionally, there was a lotta respect for him by the drivers. Surely there must be someone with a lotta racing experience to do that. Also, did anyone notice the amount of time the FIA took to deploy a vsc for Bottas' stranded car ? That was an absolute joke !! It felt so dangerous and nothing was done for almost an entire lap.

@samtorr3947 Месяц назад

Whiting had the discipline and respect required for someone in such an important position in any sport which is tragically very hard to find. Looking back at archived footage he seemed genuinely upset when he made a mistake and actually took time to go to the media and explain decisions. He also had the experience and bravery to uphold precedent on the rules which controlled the grid a lot more. Although it was entertaining, he never would have allow Merc and RB lower the sporting standards of F1 so much in 21'. That is exactly why we will never see anyone like him anywhere near a powerful position in F1. Integrity and precedent, whilst sporting, aren't very flashy and good politically.

@rars0n Месяц назад

Yes, I liken it to the NFL's constant struggle with defining what a catch is. The reality is, you need to use your eyeballs sometimes to look at the play that actually happened and figure it out for yourself. Sometimes someone needs to make a decision, not based on ridiculously overwritten rules that are impossible to apply in real time, and just say "Is this a catch or is it not?" The same goes with passing in F1. Getting super specific with the written rules is not the way to fix this. If anything, it just makes things worse.

@seashackf1 Месяц назад

Whiting wasn’t a steward, he was the race director. He didn’t make these type of ruling. He advised the teams when asked and would forward things to the stewards when necessary. There were still different stewards at each race who made bad and inconsistent decisions. It’s always been a problem it’s just more evident now with social media highlighting it much more.

@justamanchimp Месяц назад

There are lots of Charlie Whitings, a lot of people in these comments are Charlie Whitings haha, but he also had a lot of power and could overrule the none Charlie whitings below him lol. Where as now the stewarding is more of a democratic board, and after all, the camel is a horse designed by committee. Edit: Although someone pointed out he wasn't actually a steward, but none the less the point stands. He still had power over the drivers and called them out when they were over the top.

As a club racer in the UK for 16 years it amuses me when there is this discussion over track limits and overtaking guidelines. This is stuff we have had to adhere to for years.

Man... there is too much rules concerning overtakes... as long as space is given and drivers don't display dangerous or idiotic moves, stewards should stay out of wheel to wheel racing. Everything else is a risk the driver takes and need to suffer the consequences... all race incidents. For example, how Alonso got penalized in Australia is still beyond me, Russell was sleeping. Also, if a driver isn't able to shut the door before the corner, they should always expect a driver will try to overtake, away with that BS rule need to be fully alongside with front axles... overtaker having the front axle alongside rear axle should be enough to leave space.

@fallenshallrise Месяц назад

Agreed. If they keep it between the white lines and any incidental contact doesn't cause parts to go flying off then let them defend, let them attack, let them race. Both Alonso penalties were absolutely crazy. Drivers have slowed to control the pace of the cars behind forever in F1, even in this season. Wheel to wheel contact has happened 1,000s of times without any need to call it "causing a collision".

@rars0n Месяц назад

This seems like the F1 equivalent to the problem that the NFL constantly struggles with: what constitutes a catch? The more you try to legislate it into the rules, the more convoluted the rules get and the more arguments it seems to raise. Inevitably there will be instances that don't meet the specific wording of the rules but still pass the "eyeball test" because the rules can never be specific enough. In fact, by getting overly specific, it often makes proper application of the rules too difficult to handle in a timely manner, which only pisses viewers off even more. The point here is that F1 needs to dumb it down and make it simpler for both drivers and viewers to understand. There needs to be safety and fairness in F1, but just like football, you will never be able to make it absolutely safe and absolutely fair. Chasing that is an exercise in futility. This is a classic example of "don't let perfect become the enemy of good." If you want the drivers to race, then at some point you need to just let them race.

@DanielHarveyDyer Месяц назад

I really enjoy the NFLs attempts to be more and more specific about what is and is not a catch, and the replays frame by frame adjuding whether or not the conditions were met in the correct sequence, but I do appreciate that you can't do that in a sport where they don't blow the whistle and stop play every time something happens.

Honestly. These officials are beyond a joke. They punish misdemeanors with 10 second penalties and licence pts. But punish race ruining collisions with 5 seconds after the race. Idiots.

It's almost as if the officials want to give the stewards more and more work to do and create more and more controversy. What's wrong with the simple rule "always give the other car space on track"?

In the picture you show alonso has 2 wheels on the line and the Ferrari is off track. So he forced another car off the track.

Any overtake by Fernando is illegal it seems, fair racing by alonso without crashing into anyone and just defending very well is actually illegal. Yes lance can ram into other drivers and cause chaos because that is legal. MaFIA is a joke of an organization. Pinnacle of motorsport my arse.

I feel like stewards should just have the "ask Fernando" session where they just let Fernando to have the final saying about what's fair racing.

@willlive6845 Месяц назад

I always feel like a good rule of thumb is if the overtaking cars front tires are in front of the rear tires of the leading car in the braking zone then space should be given. I don’t understand why it’s ok to just force other drivers off the road.

@mustvalgekanal Месяц назад

F1 still has so much to learn from Supercars. The aussies have it figured out IMHO - track limits, overtakes, technical - you name it. Of course it's much easier in tintop racing where every brush doesn't end in tears.

@brocaraton Месяц назад

1. If a driver gets into a dangerous situation, it’s on them. 2. Don’t get a wheel in between someone else’s wheels if you can’t get out. 3. Don’t force someone into situation #2. 4. Don’t intentionally make contact. I just made these up but I think they make the most sense.

I can't understand your point of view regarding Alonso's penalty. I think it was deserved if you consider the rules you explained in your video. Alonso was not ahead at the apex and did not leave enough space on the outside at the end of the corner. He just came in to hot in this case.

@oferliberman6633 Месяц назад

I have a possible solution - A. If a driver is pushed out of a turn by another driver out of the circuit, the pushed driver will not be penalized and continue to this move - this way you'll pull the air out of the maneuver to push a driver off the road. B. This kind of allowance will be legal only when pushed by another driver

@lukew6725 Месяц назад

Only at the first point and I already hate it. If your car is even halfway alongside your opponent you should absolutely be entitled to space, claiming anything else is completely insane!

@tom9571 Месяц назад

My issue is that every other series has the same overtaking rules, just F1 do it differently and it’s way to complex… do what everyone else does it you will end up with excellent racing, you always have to leave space.

@lukew6725 Месяц назад

Exactly! I don't know why they have to confuse everyone with all this additional nonsense! Just leave space if any part of the car is alongside you and don't divebomb into corners and you should be good to go.

@MsZeeZed Месяц назад

4:24 - I’m sorry your graphic for a car not going “off track” while overtaking shows a car with one wheel inside the white line. That’s apparently a legal move under guidelines, even if it still looks like a dive 😹

@MontyDGrt 29 дней назад

For hard racing, they should do reverse grid and offer points during qualifying of almost the same amount as actual race day to prevent team from sand bagging. This way, the most dominant team don’t just cruise to the finish line.

@BallisticTech Месяц назад

"Tipped most if not all..." "Caused a collision" They deemed he didn't meet all the guidelines and was responsible for causing a collision while trying to make an overtake. What's grey about this? It seems to me they're saying if you steam it down the inside, misjudge, have a tank-slapper, lock-up, whatever... And cause a collision it's a penalty. They deemed he caused the collision. So it wasn't a 50/50 racing incident. Overtaking car must make pass without causing collision. If people don't like these guidelines that's fine but I don't see how this is such a weird case...?

@@darthkarl99No? F1 is owned and operated by Liberty Media while the FIA is an international ruling body for motorsport that certifies and judges. WEC for instance, is another series they certify, and historically it has just been one of the older rules organizations, though I would argue it has been getting more and more full of chicanery ever since Mosley and his cronies ended up in control of it -- which undoubtedly left the door open for our current FIA president.

@drakedbz Месяц назад

This is a major issue in a lot of sports these days, particularly ones with quick decision making. Rules need to be simple enough that they can be baked into instinct. A driver needs to be able to make a decision so fast while doing the incredibly difficult task of driving an F1 car, that they don't have the luxury of thinking about their maneuvers. If a driver can't make an acceptable decision within the timeframe in which the option is presented to them, then the rules are too complex.

@penntano Месяц назад

Can you look at the possibility that Red-Bull's advantage may actually be in there MGU-H system? While the Kinetic system is heavily regulated, I believe the thermal capture and delivery is somewhere where the teams could find gains. Don't get me wrong, I think Red-Bull has a great aero package, but I don't think it explains the gap they have.

@N3UM4NN4TOR Месяц назад

I think the budget cap has played a big role in this recently. Maybe a need to hold someone accountable comes from the fact teams are now more than ever conscience of the money they have to spend when there’s damage.

I personally like the Stroll method of overtaking from directly behind the opponent. Would like to see this included in the rules. Also if a driver crashes while attempting an overtake the driver in front should be penalized.

@SlowDancer Месяц назад

Would this work? : G-force and Wheel direction are tracked. So let's say in a right turn, collision happens between 2 cars -> Check the wheel directions, and if car 1 is going left when car 2 G-Force is left, blame the guy who could not hold his line (Car 1)? Some sort of Tri-parameters needing to be tracked : Turn Direction / G-Forces / Wheel Direction. Put the blame on the guy not holding his line, negate all penalties if both are not hodling it, funnel the biggest penalty to the first instigator in case of +2 cars involved. If both drivers follow these 3 parameters and collision still occurs, maybe then check the apex distance and the amount of G-force to blame the aggressive failed attempt.

@dereklush9399 Месяц назад

The 10 second penalty has the same issue as the 5 second penalty which is if youre much faster than the car ahead, its still worth an illegal pass to buuld a gap before serving the penalty at your convenience. We need to look back at the DRIVE THROUGH penalty so that the stewads choose when the penalty is served, rather than the team.

@stevo72090 Месяц назад

Love the clarification. Now we will be even more pissed when we actually get racing for 1st

@vinnyaraujo88 Месяц назад

If you're in front all 4 wheels need to be inside the track. The passing car must not touch the passing car, with 2 wheels of the track allowed. The penalty system is so confusing. We should have penalty laps. FIA sets a control lap time, and each penalty laps must be slower than the set time. This way we see the overtakes in the track and not the timing board after the race.

@jasonzervos Месяц назад

With the current cars it's difficult to have wheel to wheel action longer than a drs zone cause they are difficult to follow and are big and heavy like tractors. Why you need so many technical rules on how to race making it super complicated to understand? Just leave space for the other car. Don't force it into grass/walls. I miss the 2000's with amazing overtakes happening all race long. Now we are satisfied with only few during the whole weekend

@osirisgolad Месяц назад

Why don't they just paint a green line on the track in every corner, spaced exactly one axle's width from the white track limit line? If the inside car crosses that line during an overtake and either causes contact, or forces the inside car to dip at least one tyre wholly or partially over the track limit line in order to avoid contact, the inside car has to give the place back immediately.

@jesikat Месяц назад

It would also help if cars didn't explode and lose significant downforce on contact

6:09 - Sorry Lewis is not a good example of a “fairer driver”, he is hard as nails especially on younger drivers. Sure Max is wilder, but Lewis has a long wrap sheet of penalties were his traces show he steers the car wide on the throttle and pretends that’s an accidental slide. I’m fine with it tbh, he’s just emulating Senna here who always did this without censure, but the Stewards have ruled this out of the sport.
