How I Would FIX Formula 1: My Manifesto

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.

I literally did my master’s dissertation on fixing the F1 calendar to cut the travel and be more sustainable 😅

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.

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.

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 RU-vidr 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.

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.

You had me at Vettel for CEO

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!

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.

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

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.

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 😄

Running for Fia president 🎉🎉🎉🎉

"Monaco is now a night race." Say no more - I'm sold!

man's delusional if he thinks letting an open rules book would make it easier to follow cars through a lap

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.

Peter was definitely blindsided by rose tinted nostalgia goggles when making this video

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.

"celebrities must pass an F1 knowledge exam" 🤓☝

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.

Talking about banning countries that commit human rights abuses. Puts Turkey back on the calender. Exactly my humor.

Piquet should never be allowed near an F1 race again. Would be basically saying that racism is fine as long as you were successful

This would be great if a magic genie gave every team 100 trillion dollars just for fun.

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.

Those engine regulations are so goofy and non-sensical I genuinely can’t tell if it’s a joke.

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'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.

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.

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.

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.

Let this man plan the new F1 calendar! Just, you know, don't let him near anything else..

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.

Make Peter Brook an FIA's president yesterday... What a video! 🙇‍♂️💯

Not pictured: the immense web of competing interests and politics that would immediately move to get you replaced if you tried any of this

Turkey cannot be on the calendar by your criteria tbh

I'm only halfway through the vid and i LOVE the whole sarcastic energy 💀💀💀

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.

Imagine Lewis Hamilton and George Russell driving their BrawnGPs and BARs and the heritage events. I'd buy a ticket just to see that.

Brother you had me at Sebastian Vettel.

"Strong Motoring heritage and culture" Imagine saying this after silverstone early days. then we would have no Races other than the UK and France

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

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.

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.

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.

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!

Hiring Vettel and dropping all the middle eastern races are 2 huge Ws

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"

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.

Run only naturally apirated powerplants and sustainable fuels with a 18k rpm limit to extend the service life

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

You're way too focused on how F1 was in the past, and your draconian rules, especially for drivetrain component penalties, will only encourage teams to be more cautious, resulting in less interesting racing.

Only things I would earnestly change would be no heritage tracks, if the racing is bad year after year then the track goes, collisions in quali will see the perpetrator start from the pit lane, and every country is allowed only one track of their choice per year but they can switch tracks if wanted as long as safety regs are met. Edit 2: finally! Someone who welcomes andretti!

I’ve never seen such a small amount of hypothetical power go to someone’s head that quickly.

THis is just every internet go-to comment from the past 10 years in one video.....I respect your work on previous videos but this one just misses the mark. You fall into the same trappings of the comments section on every F1 news article - all the things you say will solve the "racing" aren't where the actual problems lie. You want to remove the cost cap but remove the hybrid system so there's no reason for manufacturers with the big budgets to stay in the sport. You want to bring back the tire war to "push Pirelli to make a better tire" but the FIA and F1 are the ones who dictate the tire specs (also it will create "haves" and "have nots" due to tire supply so eliminating about half the field from even competing just because of tires.....just ain't it chief) You come up with some "13th team" F2 graduation team for the F1 grid, but don't offer up how this team will get a car, engines, staff, etc....Not to mention do nothing to fix F2s actual problem which is that it isn't a series with consistent levels of competition. I ask this question in response - if the F2 champion should be regarded so highly as to be automatically granted a seat on the F1 grid....why are so many champions rejected? Furthermore, why are they rejected in favor of lower placing drivers? Either a) winning the championship is not seen as a guarantee that a driver is ready for F1 (Nyck De Vries comes to mind....) or b) teams will place higher priorities on outside circumstances such as sponsorship or just straight up cash for the seat which, in an era without cost caps, would make pay drivers much more enticing again. It's fine to look at the problems with F1 and try and come up with ideas to address them, but you need to go to the root cause and fix the underlying issues, not just suggest slapping a band-aid on the surface. It's easy for someone to say "Bring back V10s!" but the second you get into any level of detail as to how that gets implemented, you start to realize it's not as easy as flipping a light switch.

I agree with about 90% of this. This is very detail. Amazing job

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

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!

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

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

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

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.

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

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 have a problem with Monza being that early into the championship. It just feels a bit illegal lol

I adore how you always find a way to make jokes about Monaco based youtuber

Domaniceli should go , what did you accepted he was a ferrari team principal, criminal.

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.

9:54 Ah yes the glorious V10 like Schumacher's car

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.

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?

Here's my idea, just get rid of Formula 1 and allow the twitter psychos to decide the champion, *that'll be fun...*

You had me at 'put Seb in charge'.

You had me through the whole video. You sold me at Need For Speed Porsche Unleashed.

Your fetish for proper fine print gets a thumbs up from me mate. Good job on the terms and conditions!

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

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.

8:50 I am a big fan of NFS Porsche so a night race in Monaco would be lovely

❤ as a South African, thank you. Fantastic video, as always.

Lost you at the rules. If you wanted the design freedom you suggest then you would have to have a maximum dirty air rule

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.

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.

This is mostly an entertaining video but, I’m just saying, your “no human rights abuses” rule would exclude a LOT more rounds than just Middle East or China.

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!

the questionaire for celebrities did make me laugh

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

If they did this F1 would be so much better. Also NFS Porsche 2000 was amacing

I was hoping the v12s would get a mention but v10s are close enough

4:57 So true. I'd instantly get rid of Miami & Las Vegas if I had the power

My man solved F1

>excludes middle east and china on human rights grounds >includes Turkey?

Was about to subscribe, then i noticed i already was 😂 Turned on the bell now tho, great video✌

couldnt agree more but i would still like to see a swedish/finland race that alters each year

JESUS Lord that sausage kerb had me rolling (pun intended) 😂

You had me at no human rights abuses 🤩

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.

An we start a petition to get this guy into the fia presidency

Wait, so we can get Clint Bowyer and Jeff Gordon commentating F1 at COTA?

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
