.. but will Mercedes win the championship after these changes? 😅
Tell us in the comments below!
No.
Probably yes.
Sounds like the power unit will be the performance-determining factor at least at the initial period (maybe a couple of years). This will give Mercedes R&D the advantage considering this is their area of strength.
It won't be without competition since these rules seem very convoluted with some room for maneuvering once you have a solid PU.
no i don't think they will, 1. budget cap 2. they can't develop their engine 2 years in advance compared to the other teams, wich they did before their reign in f1
No
It will be between Ferrari and Mercedes. My money is on Ferrari. Then Mercedes.
Net 0 by 2030?
What about all the planes and trucks used to ship the entie F1 event around the world?
Will they fly in a bubble and ride unicorns!
they factor that in. also net zero is not the same as zero co2 release. they will still release co2. its just gonna be compensated by other stuff. like planting trees. which imo is greenwashing
Net zero? While everyone flies to races in their private jets? 😂😂😂
We have never accepted the v6 or v8. We want our v10's back and we want them now.
amen
v8 was good
A V6 turbo can sound great sadly the current f1 regs strangle them
Either it's V8, V10 or even V12, if rev never cross 10,500 rpm, it's just same sh*t.
Adapt yourself, even I can now enjoy Formula E, they're amazing!
We do not accept these hybrid v6s vacuum cleaners we tolerate them. Theres a big difference
The leaders of this sport are out of their minds
This is a joke that they reduce the ICE power. They should get rid of the hybrid system and free the rules to allow the teams to create the best engine possible
They should do like WEC, let the teams decide the engines. If you want a V6 turbo hybrid that's cool, but you could also have a V12 like the AM Valkyrie
If they got rid of hybrid power it would be a massive step backwards. F1 is where technological advancements come from for future road cars. Dropping hybrids or electrification wouldn’t align with being at the forefront of development in the automotive industry
You're talking like that's what engine manufacturers want to do. It is not. Manufacturers don't want to invest capital on a project that will have little applicability to the larger car market. F1 is a great way to stress test hybrid tech (and EV tech as well). They're the ones the FiA are trying to woo with these regulations... And before you say anything, this is coming from a guy with a manual 9th gen Si and a gas guzzling RX8
If you pull the Electric portion and allow 100% ICE you will see cars running out of fuel. Not a photo op you want to create,.
@@TonyK3130 They somehow had enough fuel from 2010 to 2013. That is a really stupid argument
I haven't attended many F1 races in person, but the first was the 1980 race at Watkins Glen. We knew that was going to be the last F1 race there, which motivated us to go. I will never forget walking up the road to the circuit, just as one of the Ferrari 312 T5s ripped by. The sound of the flat 12 was incredible, especially compared to the Ford DFVs. What a sweet noise. It's been all downhill since then. If F1 ever goes completely electric, I'll be done.
Sounds like you loved it at Watkins Glen,must of been memorable A.
f1 will never go fully electric. when all roads cars go electric we will see the return to v10's or some amazing sounding engine. but while ICE's still are being produced, they will still need to be "road relevant"
Batteries and electric power need to go. Synthetic sustainable fuel v8’s able to rev to 20k are the way to go. Much lighter and cheaper, thrilling sound and best of all no supporting the inhumane practices involved with rare earth mining.
'Orgasmic v10 era'.. Explosively orgasmic I say.... Aaaahhhh. Miss those days of old
F1 will just become the Formula E . Not for me. I've started to loose interest in F1. Its lost its core attractiveness. Bring back to V10. Sadly it will never happen.
nah 2026 rules are gonna be a transition for the full takeover of the e-fuels, then well be go back to something like the v10s turbo aspirato, maybe with a push to pass. ll take time BUT wait for it. (also cuz FormulaE and all his bunch of tech brands and constructrs wants need and deserve their own share, its still fia, so they cant really merge the 2 series, never gonna happen, i would be worried about avoiding grey areas in this new regulations
Bring back the V12's. The batteries are a fire hazard.
No DRS or PTP either. Let the drivers race.
When I first experience F1 the first thing I heard was the V10 sound. I was immediately sold.
I don't understand F1 obsessions with pleasing environmentalist or whom ever is giving these IDEAS. Who cares!!!! its about the pinnacle of mechanical engineering! THE BEST VS THE BEST!
No one cares about how much MPG they saved at an F1 RACE. NO one cares that they use ECO FRIENDLY FUEL. NO one cares that the team is CARBON NUETRAL/NET ZERO! NO ONE FFFF CARES!!!!!
I CAME TO WATCH A RACE NOT THE ENVIROMENTAL BULL!!!!
The car companies that build the F1 cars care about not pissing away R&D into engines they're never going to put into a road car lol.
Especially when there having 24 races FFS
i love how you say "its the pinnacle of mechanical engineering" while trying to argue against technical innovation and going back to the tech from 30 years ago lmao. if you ACTUALLY cared about the best vs the best you would be glad to have hybrids that can outperform larger engines with less fuel. But clearly you only care about appearances
@MattMajcan
The v8 and v10 era ended 19 and 11 years ago.
But please tell me how integral it is for f1 to lecture me on the importance of a green planet and all the other shite.
@@MooncricketsIncplease tell me how integral it is for f1 for the car to sound slightly different
I DO care about efficiency. But, I HATE the over-complicated, ridiculous power units used currently...not to mention all of the other electronic gee-gaws on the cars. At this point, the cars are more like wheeled space capsules than cars. This does NOT serve to foster the concept that the best driver wins. It used to be 60% driver/40% car & team...now it's very much 40% driver/60% car & team. This is the wrong direction.
Further, the silly aero packages also emphasize the car/team over the driver.
If it were up to me, things would be as follows:
1) Engine 1.6 litres, normally aspirated, 8 cyls max, 16,000 rpm max.
2) NO semi-auto gearboxes. Conventional only/pedal operated clutch - with hand levers for shifting (this is an important driver skill, along with clutch control...which has been thrown out).
3) All-up car weight, including full fuel, w/o driver, of 550 kilos minimum.
4) NO anti-lock brakes, or electronic brake augmentation whatsoever.
5) Aero GREATLY simplified, with funky barge boards and strakes not allowed. NO high noses. Underbody aero allowed, with a very tight limit on usable underfloor surface area and design. Wings allowed, but even smaller than currently. NO moveable aero devices (while the car is in motion). Much more emphasis on mechanical grip.
6) Full safety features and requirements, as currently mandated.
7) Fuel capacity 100 litres, NO refueling.
8) Tyres as current.
9) Telemetry and electronic adjustability SEVERELY limited.
10) Movement towards alternate, sustainable fuel. Exactly what TBD. Engine efficiency is encouraged and promoted, with probable reductions in fuel capacity to be executed, year to year.
The whole point being to emphasize DRIVER SKILL and COMPETITION, while getting rid of the "space program" nature of the teams as current - and GREATLY reducing costs. Many competitive teams would be the goal, not just a few. Maximum chance for many different drivers to win - unlike the current system.
Many would argue that the cars must retain technical pre-eminence...and that my proposals would do away with that. So be it. I want the best driver to win - even if the car/team is slightly less than the best. For me, that is the emphasis. Space capsules on wheels, with NASA-like teams monitoring & adjusting everything in real time - does NOT foster that result.
Working down to 550 kg with 100L or ~480kg dry will be about imposible given current safety structure regs. 600 kg dry may still be difficult. 100 liters is only enough to run up to 1/2 or 2/3 of a race so refueling will be needed in that case. I like the idea of 1.6L turbos up to 16k rpm. Lastly, may I ask what you mean by electronic adjustability severely limited?
Excellent,well said but I want up to V16 normally aspirated option included
With 2.5litre max.
As for the rest🏎️ let's race legend!
If the big change is NET ZERO, the yawn factor will continue to increase.
As for battery only EV's, they too are going the way of the dinosaur. EV's will evolve away from the climate destroying batteries to something less dangerous and geopolitically dodgy.
As for the "new combustion" - they are going back to adjustable lean-burn; a technology Mercedes had killed off by forcing EU law because their own version was terribly under-powered and sooty whereas competitors were powerful and clean. However, it's reintroduction makes it clear battery only EV's are now set to disappear entirely by 2030.
They could dump the electric side and just go all out for efficient engines, maybe add in active aero, saving everyone tons of money, and some back marker teams can then be more competitive.
If one wants electric power go to Formula E. If you want great sound, bring back normally aspirated V10's and V8's. I like many here don't give a damn about fuel economy. This is supposed to be the pinnacle of MOTOR sports. I HATE Hybrids for Formula 1.
Then don't complain to the FiA... Complain to the car manufacturers. They're the ones that the FiA have to woo to invest in PU development
Yep spot on! Even if every road vehicle turn’s electric, wouldn’t it be all about the spectacle and sound.
It would actually be cool if in 20 years the only combustion engines would be part of motorsports.
Imagine the footprint F1 leaves on the world each season with everything involved, but they’re worried about the engines?
V12, V10s or V8’s back please!
its strange that you chose to emphasize the word "motor" in motor sports as if electric motors arent also motors. you said it yourself, this is the pinnacle of motorsports, this isnt the pinnacle of "making engines sound cool". on the list of priorities, what the cars sound like is very low down on the list.
@@MattMajcan I’ll dumb it down further then, F1 cars have sounded crap since 2014, Formula E’s lame (in my opinion) and I would love V10’s back in F1 like millions of others would.
@@Wotwudino and we all know that the most important thing in a racing league is what the cars sound like, not how they perform
say what you want... The engines sound like shit has for 10 years...People get jazzed up when they do v10 flybys, even the driverers. Go look at the video where alonso drives his championship winning car.
No grid girls, no tobacco sponsorship, no proper engines. It's been getting worse and worse, and I'm afraid fans will eventually abandon F1.
if they need tobacco, girls, and v10 engines in order to enjoy racing, the sport is better off without them
It already happened. After 28 years of following f1 since a child I have became a big fan of WEC. Real racing. No cheating or favoritism to Cheatbull. No drama. Only PURE racing!
Let's bring in transgendered grid men dressed in crop tops and short pants and have sponsorships for gotcha boxes, engines can be powered by social media follows - let's bring F1 into 2024 properly!
It’s appears to me, they are mainly changing chairs on the Titanic
Why doe so many channels think they need annoying background music playing during narration? It seems like everyone is using the same sound track. Give it a rest.
Bring back V10, slicks, 1000hp
Nope, fans want noise. Not vacuum cleaners
I want a field of 5 cylinder cars
Excellent video. Thank you!!! Needed this. I love details like this.
Glad it was helpful!
Yeay, Net Zero, said no-one ever.
If you don’t know, the costs of development in a v10 provide no advantage over these units. Technology has advanced so far that the use of petrol globally and Liberty Media’s promotion of F1 being a “show”, i.e. noisy, Hyper-efficient v8s (paired with electric) are probably a better possibility than v10s.
Thanks well said
What good is merely bringing back the v10s going to do if all that does is ensure a repeat of Ferrari domination all over again? What we actually need is an unpredictability of race results. To that end, we reform the qualifying system such that the more successful teams only have one qualifying session, mid pack runners have two qualifying sessions, and the back markers get the full 3 qualifying sessions, with 1 additional qualifying session reserved in case accidents happen.
Wasn't there a Honda V-10 that at times was virtually unbeatable? Besides, Ferrari's should be V-12's or at least flat 12's.
McLaren dominated in the late 90s with a v10 I believe. Williams before them for 2 years.
I want real sounding F1 cars back
Great vid!
Thanks man. Do tell us if you would like to see something different done in the video.
We should go back to V8 or V10 engine and run them on the same fuel what's Sebastian Vettel uses in his Williams fw14b and the cars should be smaller like the 2009 cars to make the racing better because the Circuit have not got any wider so now you have put wider cars on the same tracks are you on the overtaking to be better it will never happen I have never seen these new F1 cars go up the Monaco Hill side by side but I have seen a formula e car do that and the team keep moaning about the money surely if you build smaller car it will be cheaper so they will get out of the red I start making a bit of money so the teams will last longer and the big part of money they get from Formula 1 can go towards another team and the 10 teams can stop being afraid of another team because that is why they don't let Andretti into the sport. Because they do not want any more competition
Hybrid is objectively faster in most cases, so I’m not going to complain about hybrid as a concept, but if they’re going to require synthetic fuel made from renewable energy then there’s no reason to reduce combustion power. Naturally aspirated V6 hybrids with a higher rev limit would be a huge sound improvement.
1:00 Fuck NO! we have not accepted the loss of the sound from the V10 and V8 engine´s!
The Day F1 is fully Electric that day F1 is dead.
Simply ridiculous !
We the fans don't want all this complexity !
Lighter smaller cars
V10s on sustainable fuel
What's up with that ?
Sometimes you have to go back to go forward !
Well at least I have lived through the v8 v10 and v12 era !
I'm very lucky !
I havent accepted these v6 trucks they run now.
stop making them even heavier!!! when will you learn!!
Net-Zero
Tyres made of Magic!
Great aero news, harmonic dampers always made good tech to deploy on road cars too.
Power to weight and size need further reduction for real world applications
and proper racing.
Well regulations can not beat physics. To recharge the hybrid system you need to break, or lift off and let the engine breaking do the work.
I see some problems on some of the classic tracks with long full speed straights and not to many sharp corners, like Monza, Canada, probably Japan (but the s secion might yield enough power or the lap). Even some of the new tracks like Saudi Arabia might challenge this new system.
Probably some of the worst Tilke tracks will fare the best for regeneration, which does not ode too well for the spectators.
Just hope not even 2 years are enough for the engineers to iron out technical issues with these planned changes. Otherwise we will see half teh field limping around with reduced power because of malfunctioning hybrid systems or active aero.
it's braking not breaking
So we're going from a constant 850HP with harvesting/deploying of 150hp electric power....to a constant 550hp with harvesting/deploying 450hp of electric power...so basically, the cars are gonna be slow as hell while harvesting (which they are already with 850hp)...to normal V10 speeds while deploying the electrical power. YUP, this should make racing more entertaining
I think you need to look at you audio mix. The SFX are much louder than the VO. I feel like the VO could be a lot louder than you have it.
Getting rid of the MGU-H is so stupid. Formule one should be the pinnacle of automotive engineering and the MGU-H is the real life embodiment of that.
I hope Porsche will bring it on their 911s.
TLDR : sound will change
Nope, we haven't accepted the v6s, it's just what we have, screaming v8 would be far better than the 26 regs or the v6 we currently have!!! F1 is going the wrong way, we dont want more electrical power and certainly not less ice power.
deep growls MY A55 we only accept v10 so do hamilton and alonso from that interview or hamiltons recent reaction to when ALO drove his champ car
I don't mind hybrids, but I think it should be an ICE that powers tge car 90% with a smaller electric motor for overtaking
All this sustainable fuel talk. Bring the v10s back
Imagine if an f1 car had a 2JZ😮
one of the most braindead casual takes I have ever seen
Audi vs Mercedes,Epic.
However it's been great to see McLaren doing well.High hopes for Ferrari though certainly to improve.Seemingly becoming a drivers championship again rather than a 2 horse race to the top.Push to pass sounds like the best way forward ( great for strategy) possible to lose DRS you'd think.All the best FIA😉
ferrari has a great engine for this next reg like how merc had one for 2014
Thanks for the hot tip bud.
I feel like everything is going in the wrong direction
I’ll be shocked if the Ford engine is worth a damn.
Aston martin dominating in 2026 because of honda.
No V12, V10 or V8 engine? - I don't even care!
What auto racing has gone full electric except creating all new ones.
Net Zero F1?? Let's call it Fzero
all my hope is arab from dubai making another championship whit real engine V10
I don't understand why tf they always make f1 slower. F1 should be the fastest cars of all time, not sufocated by stupid regulations. They should give everyone a bit more freedom, restricting only engine displacement. Also, the majority watching f1 are car guys, and i am sure that car guys love piston engines, not electric motors. The hybrid should be slightly assisting the ice here and there, but the engine should be the main source of power of the car, not bring it close to 50/50. Also, they make the cars heavier for what? Cost? Bruh this is f1, ofc the cost is high, if you don't have the budget for f1 go race in the clio cup. For polution? There's only 20 or something of these cars in the world. How much carbon footprint can they have? This is for adverstsing purposes because f1 became one big advertising billboard.
I think they have screwed themselves, WRC is scrapping hybrid from next year I can see other series like BTCC go the same way
Converting ICE power to electrical power has inherent losses. It always will have. You cannot convert one form of energy to another “for free”
We need to maximise efficiency by removing the electrical power component and push for renewable, zero emission fuel sources like hydrogen.
Let’s face it, Formula E is a flop. It just is and people will not give up their passion for engines that make noise.
yeah i see big problems coming in the future.. you say that f1 wants to show the continued relevance of internal combution engines. except thats impossible, because internal combustion engines are about to become irrelevant. electrical motors are basically superior in every way and they're about to become the same price or cheaper than gas cars in the next few years, and charging infrastructure is starting to catch up now. f1 is fighting a losing battle if it thinks it can keep gas engines around forever. People are just going to have to get over it. People were probably sad when steam engines went out of style about 100 years ago but people got over it. If people care so much about the sound, put some speakers on the car and stop crying. I hope all these whiners just quit the sport so people that only people who actually care about racing and not pointless superficial crap like what a car sounds like will be left. I love the hybrid era and what its doing for engine technology and the fact that it makes the purists cry is just the cherry on top. the fact that an engine the size of my honda civic can output like 1000 hp is far more impressive than a 30 year old v10. of course, all of these whiners also completely miss the fact that without the hybrid regulations, there wouldnt be any big names left in f1 and the sport would already be dead.
Just remove the engine net zero accomplished! You win and the sport is dead.
Give us the 10’s or 12’s back jeeeeeeeeeeeze.
Basically the cars are slower
I'm becoming less and less interested in F1. I've been watching for decades. The sanitized tracks, ridiculous penalties, fat & lazy cars, dumb cost caps and development restrictions and the push to become FE is killing the "spectacle". Whoever leads after a rule change keeps their lead Thanks to the budget/restrictions. Something drastic needs to happen.
Go Back to Lighter Weight Normally Aspirated Car and Dump ALL the Electric Drive. The current cars are fat pigs.
All of these gimmicky, video game ideas being added to F1 will ensure a new top tier racing league will be created. Just race gas engines like we do on the street! I can see the rebranding already.. "Formula Hybrid" in racing green..
Rip f1
Hydrogen is the future
F1 or FE.......??
Give us 100% electric power, with the electricity being generated from the ICE. It would have insanely fast acceleration, torque out of this world.
I believe f1 is making a big mistake. I’m so bored of f1 now,
The hybrid era is garbage. The cars are a tiny fraction of f1s emissions. Flying the teams and hardware around the earth is massive. So this hybrid talking point is the epitome of useless virtue signaling. Plus.. if the fuels are synthetic and "green", what's the point of the hybrids anyways?? 1k HP N/A engines and 20%+ reduction in car dimensions is the ticket.
No excepting the bad sound of f1 cars.
Net zero equals net BORING.
Wow... F1 is getting more and more fu****...
Wankel engine, they last forever and sound great, then reduce car weight to 500kg max
Formula 1 is in a coma
Trash. RIP F1
F1 hybrid engines are shit. I really don’t understand why they are not listening to the public. I have completely stopped watching it now and got into MotoGP.
F1 stop with these shit sounding vegan eating engines.
maybe its because f1 is a racing league and they dont give a shit what the cars sound like or how much you guys cry about it. if you want to listen to cool cars go watch a youtube video. f1 is a racing league its about going fast.
