this thread is titled
2022 and beyond... What will be the impact of the new regulations yet most of the recent posts are yet again rehashing abu dhabi. Isnt there another thread for that, or is there a rule i missed that all threads are now to be about that |

We have the biggest change in the cars (and tyres) since the hybrid era dawned and rather than speak about what might happen next in relation to the new car regulations, we seem stuck in post mortem mode and race director stuff. Or am I wrong in thinking the impact of the new regulations in the thread title are actually not about the cars? |

I apologize for misdirecting the thread. I posted it here because it was relevant with any potential changes to the sporting rulers 2022 and beyond, but still should've given it more consideration and post it elsewhere. Sorry.

Honestly, I don't know where the general topics that came out of the season finale race should go. You could say (and I think the moderators have pushed in this direction) for it to go into the Abu Dhabi race thread. But I think the topic is larger than just that single race. I guess if people want to litigate the specifics of THAT race, then sure, the race thread. If people want to discuss the larger issues (i.e. how to manage restarts, consistency of steward decisions, etc.) then those could either go into the "How to fix F1?" thread or maybe create a new thread specific to what I would generally say is Sporting regulations/Stewards. I would create that thread, but frankly, I don't feed strongly enough or... want to gets involved in the inevitable fight and rehash of 2021 finale! But I think someone should create the thread as the topic (if we can move beyond the Abu Dhabi race) is a good one. Happy New Year's everyone. Richard Last edited by Richard C; 1 Jan 2022 at 18:23. |

As a fan of speedway (ie Sprintcars) and a spectator at Bob Jane's Thunderdome for many years, not finishing a race under yellow flags has kept me nourished for many years. Sure it is not the fine aged steak of F1, but sometimes a hamburger will do.

ok rule change
no race can finish under yellow, there must be 2 complete green laps. if thee track is not clear after the scheduled laps then the race continues under yellow for extra laps or halted under parc ferme in pit row (no new tyres etc) until track is clear then a 2 lap red flag restart. If the race absolutely cannot restart weather/lighting/track safety problem, its a red flag finish and regulations apply. |

Problem with extending the race to go beyond a yellow (as they do in NASCAR) is that F1 cars are fuelled for the race distance and they don't have mid-race refuelling any more.
That means essentially stopping and then restarting races might be the only option when near the scheduled finish to achieve a racing finish. The whole "rebuild the car and fit new tyres" situation under red would need to be looked at too. Your parc ferme idea could be a way to address that B77. |

Exactly, races have finished under yellow before and quite frankly they shouldn't extend the race for the sake of the 'show'. What they do in NASCAR is fine there. There are too many logistical problems to do it in F1. With refuelling rightly banned it just wouldn't work
I don't think we should add in red flags just for a finish under green either. It's not something F1 really needs. Just get rid of the SC free pass rule and it would make things easier |

so in other words, pit stops as part of a race winning strategy has been part of the sport for more years then it has not been part of the sport?

I actually dont understand why there is the "let lapped cars past" rule.
If you are a lap or more down, you are given a free boost back up lap. So before the f c yellow, you were 2.5 minutes (or whatever a lap plus is) behind the leader Then there is a safety car, and you are given free kick, to run around retake your lap and get on the back of the pack, and are now maybe only 10 - 15 seconds behind the leader. maybe they need 2 or 3 safety cars, evenly spaced around the track, so you are held in 3 equidistant groups, and nobody loses or gains a whole lap. |

I think it is fairly well accepted that Formula 1 started with the 1946 Turin Grand Prix (1 Sep 46)?
Grands Prix prior to that were not F1 races. I know it is pedantic, but given that this thread is about the 2022 F1 regulations, it makes sense to view the first set of regulations as being the new formula agreed upon during 1946.... |

It baffles me why common sense doesn’t prevail more when it comes to designing a set of aero rules. This recent phenomenon of insisting on having the front wing reach across the entire width of the wheel track just defies logic. Sure having that might work wonders for the aero itself, but one small knock in a wheel banging session and it’s “bye bye front wing”. If they were positioned more in-board like they were in the 90s and earlier, you wouldn’t have that problem.

Well we'll have to see if the new aero rules do enough to make the racing closer. Certainly they should look better without things like bargeboards, which should have gone a lot sooner. All I will say it is a step in the right direction at the very least and we'll see if more work needs doing. I agree though that front wings don't need to be so big, but front wings have always been vulnerable to damage tbh

A quick check would suggest otherwise. Refueling is not a prerequisite for avoiding safety car finishes. Filling the car with a reasonable amount of fuel to take into account such an eventuality however is. |

It would be another tactic and dice for team managers to roll. how much extra fuel to put in, gamble on extra laps vs weight

I suppose, but I don’t think that a car losing out because it can’t finish is a good look. We could all understand why, but it’s not really what people want.
It’s all about the unintended consequences. I suppose we could introduce some competitors must still have a certain amount of fuel left at the end unless it goes to overtime. Then we can complain bout over complication instead when a race finishers normally, but a car is DSQ. And we wonder why we moan. I’m not sure what the fascination is with having to finish under green. Ah, so it can be a show. It is primarily a sport. Let the distance be the distance. |
