10 times F1 rules were changed during a season

Most Formula 1 rule changes take place between seasons, but occasionally circumstances force the rulemakers' hands into taking action during an ongoing campaign. In this video we've chosen 10 of the biggest rule changes that were made during the season, and explained why the FIA and/or the teams felt they couldn't wait for the winter in those cases.

Mass damper ban was honestly outrageous

[@AmokCanuck]

How? They're dangerous as hell when you get into a crash.

[@HardwareG33k]

@@AmokCanuck I have no clue what you mean. The mass damper was a genius innovation and fully legal to the letter of the regulations. The ban was shoehorned in by way of claiming it as a "moveable aerodynamic device" which was by no means its primary purpose, nor is it really an accurate description of the device. Whether or not it allowed for a different aerodynamic setup to be run is irrelevant in my opinion, because the same is true for many other components (such as those of the suspension).

[@AmokCanuck]

@@HardwareG33k it was 2 springs on each end of the car under load that are small enough to fit through the barriers around the track. It was an accident waiting to happen

[@HardwareG33k]

@@AmokCanuck No, it was a sealed unit. Mass and springs were contained within a cylinder. Look it up!

[@harrisonday2033]

@@AmokCanuck under that logic you can't have a piston motor, as a piston can fit through the barriers

[@rockaway0beach]

Technically, according to the mass damper ban, an engine should be cataloged as a movable aerodynamic device.

[@paultapper9388]

The steering wheel moves and affects the car's aerodynamics, so that should be banned too! Given that pretty much every moving part on an F1 car affects the aerodynamics, this is basically an absurd rule that allows the FIA to instantly ban anything they don't like. Even more absurd, is that the movable aerodynamic device rule was originally introduced to stop teams feathering wings on the straights to reduce drag. So the thing it was intended to stop is now specifically permitted, i.e. DRS.

[@deabreu.tattoo]

The bodywork has aero surfaces and it's moving all the time, since it's sitting on springs. Ban that too!!

[@seishino]

Suspension is a moving device that helps keep cars from launching up into the sky, and not launching up into the sky is good for aerodynamics. BANNED!

[@BigCheeseIsReal]

The drivers always moving in the car affecting aero. let's ban that!

[@kilerscn]

@@paultapper9388 Not only that but the teams also skirt the FIAs tests on the wings to negate the rule too. The FIA tests the wings to withstand certain forces so they don't move, except the teams layer the carbon fibre in a way in which it will pass the FIAs tests but will actually move when in race conditions. This means that the higher speed the car goes the flatter the wings become, reducing drag and allowing higher top speeds but in breaking the wings flex back to a steeper profile, producing more downforce.

[@Matt_matt1]

Unban everything, keep the cost cap. Let the games begin.

[@tomhutchins7495]

Bhosadike that would be fun. I would like to see teams given more freedom in things like engine revs. If a back-marker or midfield team could run their engine harder, that would give them a chance of great results that could change their fortunes, but it would run the risk of engine penalties later in the year. Anything to break up the monopoly of boring "slow and steady"

[@deeznoots6241]

Would have been back in 2021, but the rule change was pushed forward to 2022

[@Septimus_ii]

You have to be careful with groundeffect because it's very unstable

[@kotomile]

@@Septimus_ii It was unstable as implemented previously, where it relied on an unbroken seal from the skirts. Absent that, the same issues should not arise.

[@vancesaler]

@@Septimus_ii ground effect was only unstable when previously implemented in F1 due to unreliable side skirts that were prone to breaking or moving. In 2022 it will be primarily implemented through a lower ride height and venturi tunnels. This provides high levels of downforce consistently without dirty air, allowing for the wings to be changed so they create less downforce but with drastically less dirty air.

[@ioni6x]

The radio ban was lifted because Lewis was lost without the help from the garage. Nico doesn't had this because he was way deeper into the systems of the car

Yeah it's a useless rule because A.) who the hell cares and B.) it's impossible to actually enforce because a driver and his engineer deciding upon a set of coded messages beforehand would be impossible to filter out from other innocuous radio chatter.

I am a Ham/Toto fan but man, was I sad to hear they had to push new regs to 2022. Can't bear one more year like this - despite wanting Ham to take all the records:). We need closer racing and besides that, the 2022 concept cars look sweet. Closer racing in beautiful cars, hope it works out like that.

[@artwork29ish]

I would love to see more leniency in the rules of body work structure because the current: "MUST BE MADE TO/BY RESTRCTED MESUREMENTS" limits teams far too much leading to far too many cars on the grid looking the same and only livery to determine which car is by which team. I understand that safety is paramount and must come first but surely there is scope for advancing this area in the future. Allowing more creative car designs has got to be more aesthetically appealing than: "MORE OF THE SAME."

no advantage. It was be a disadvantage if anything. Its further away from the ground hence the less likely it has with ground effect. My theory is based upon in the 2000s the front wing was lifter higher and higher each season because the further you move the wing away from the ground the less impact it has with the ground.

[@AntiVaganza]

@@The.Drunk-Koala Eh, I dont think a simple rear wing which at least has to be above the ending would work with ground effect at all, so I think Nick is right.

[@SolidSonicTH]

The mass damper ban seems poorly justified. The mass damper moves, sure, but the aerodynamic effect the car gets from it is more about the downforce that isn't lost when it rolls over a bump. The aerodynamic elements of the car (front and rear wing, diffuser, etc.) aren't changing in response to the mass damper, the mass damper just makes the aero elements more efficient (since they have less variation in vertical load so airflow over the car remains more stable). Maybe I don't understand the rule against movable aerodynamic devices but at least by the sound of the rule title I feel like that's targeting things like rudders or flaps (like you'd find on a plane) that allow the driver to modify the aerodynamic characteristics in real time to respond to the circuit and to create overtaking opportunities (heck, DRS is already kind of like this, it's just restricted to specific parts of the track). The F Duct seems closer to the intent of the rule (since it involved changing airflow in real time, it just relied on a rudimentary vent inside the cockpit that the driver would have to cover with their own body to function so the car itself wasn't changing its aero characteristics, the driver was simply modifying the way was able to pass around and through the car) and that wasn't even formally banned (the teams just decided to drop it, apparently due to "cost" reasons).

[@gemberkoekje]

I actually somewhat liked the staggered qualifying format, but it needed a different implementation. Instead of locking the lowest competitor in place, the lowest competitor gets shown the flag. The difference being that the competitor can finish his current lap, but not start another lap after that. That could mean that, if you hit the cutoff time as 20th, but you are on a fast lap, you can still get into Q2, if that fast lap is fast enough. But it is your final chance, no chances after that. That also decreases the front loading of the qualifying, as there is a larger number of cars still in competition at the end, even if it's their final chance.
