Yeah great news, now start enforcing track limits.

When they inspect Kimi's car Kimi: "Buah"

These are rules regarding the car specifications, not laws. If they don't meet these standards the car is non compliant not illegal. Nobody is going to go to jail.

Great F1 updates, knowledge and latest rules, etc. But what’s with the flashing of “ads” during videos? I pay for NO COMMERCIALS on YouTube subscription, and inasmuch as I am a zealous F1 decades-long fan, your commercials are annoying. Peace. We Race As One.

I'm curious as to how this random selection happens... is it possible to randomly select the same car for many races, or after you have been checked, your car is off the list for a couple of weeks

They don't want the Ferraris burning oil for a whole season before they find out and have to do a confidential deal to save face.

Love these types of videos, but please Scott, for the love of god stop being such a dickhead in the drivers press conferences. Instead of asking multi-part questions that are impossible to remember and questions that hit a nerve, maybe try and build some good rapport with the drivers? Might open up some opportunities in the future, because as it stands, everyone hates when you’re called on to ask a question.

Where the mercedes fans at

2:49 let’s be clear. Bottas wasn’t selected... a Mercedes was.

This sounding like the begining of the end of F1 like the end of NASCAR in the US. They changed everything, including taking the manufacturing companies out of the game. All chassis were the same, and on and on. So in the end the cars looked the same and passing became more difficult and the people like me said he'll no. Well F1 is going in the same directions, one tire, no refueling, now surprise inspections, and with the new rules for 2022 they are taking away the creative nature of engineers and in my opinion killing the sport. Yes the big company backed cars would have an advantage with money, but instead of rules that restrict innovation spread the money from the bottom up instead of top down they already have deep pockets help the small teams with bigger piece of the pie. And get more tires manufacturing companies and refueling back into the game.

Fia is stalling the progress

I’d love to see the bonkers engineering if there was an F1-X league with no limits on weight, displacement, engine, aero, etc.

I am 100% sure that this is happening because of the 2020 ferrari scandal

Perhaps if the cars were not so insanely complicated, this would not be necessaty. (A view from the "good old days".)

I feel like the constant banning of ideas is hampering technical innovation. Everytime someone comes up with a good idea the FIA shuts it down

Does anyone else think that the budget cap, safety regs and engine capacity max should be regulation enough? Doesn’t all the minutiae just stifle genius innovation. All the current rules make F1 something akin to a one make series.

Well, better late than never.

Why do I think Ferrari aren't going to be randomly selected for a deep inspection as often as the other teams?

F1 has way too many rules and regulations, teams should have more freedom to design their car.

if the FIA checks for software issues just call on the source code of all cars Of course, proper software engineers are in order

It is hard for me to grasp that this has not been going on for decades, now IMHO it looks like a certain team in italy needs more data to develop their 2022-car...

uh, it's called NASCAR: do it pre and post race last 20 years . . .most winners only tighten 4 of 5 lug nuts (saves time) and receive a $5000. fine (means 0 to teams making millions). welcome to Nascar

A good way to document all the technological differences and gather information.

Cost caps and copyright cars: FIA: We want to cut the cost of racing. Also FIA: The most obvious way of cutting costs is hereby forbidden.

Ferrari inspires people on so many levels

Well Mercedes has never been caught so.... Yeah they gotta do more !!

Why Haas this been introduced?

Random drawn from a hat like UEFA did in Champions League live on TV drawing pre-chosen teams? Or REAL real random?

0:25 - Herb Deans younger cousin refereeing F1... seems legit...

Your the best 👍🏾

Too enthusiastic mate, calm down!

Thanks Ferrari. 🙄

Haas: Can't inspect it if its wrecked, nerds!

IF they find any wrong doing will they just issue a cease and desist notice like the did to Ferrari, or will they actually punish wrongdoing for once?

I’ve watched a few videos on this channel and this was the first time I noticed it was being narrated by Romesh Ranganathan.

Random checks mean Ferrari will only be given a months notice then? Lol

Checking one car relative to second car from one team is very minimal. I believe checking random 5percent of total participants is far more effective. Shorten areas of checks to compensate time and cost.

We all know they introduced these checks because of Ferrari.

Alfa Still best looking car on the grid.

last time they had a closer look Ferrari slowed down, now they look even closer Mercedes slows down.

Total B.S. on the new rule. Most likely teams not Mercedes AMG (44 in particular is excempted) will be scrutinized.

This is why i dont really watch f1. There is no room for creativity with all these regulations

Basically this means the F1 will be using what they see on Merc and pass that information on to other teams they want to help beat Merc. Remember you do get spies in every department.

I thought there are rules on how many things you can copy from 1 car that's why no one is completely copying mercedes unless FIA suggested that copying is legal then Mercedes might have a problem

How about publishing the Ferrari engine issue from 2019/2020?

Yeah random just happens to be Always be Mercedes. They should look into red bull.

What happens, if on the track there is a rule for Hamilton and another for the rest of the field. I can't digest Bahrain corner 4 😡😡😡

Is bottas clear for the rest of the season now? Can’t Mercedes make non compliant changes to the car now without fear of being checked?

IF YOU BELIEVE THE CHOICE WAS RANDOM.........

The FIA should do this check on all cars though, after the teardown Haas might find their car goes faster.

I knew it! RB’s car is not legal! Just like 2019 Ferrari illegal engine.

Perhaps they should do what Nascar does prior to approving the car to be allowed on track with that high tech laser grid scan. It's worth a try and it's made that sport more honest than it was like for example 23 years ago.

Fia - we are doing a standard Random inspection. (Picks bottas) Bottas leaves the track with his car in 1375 pieces, had his phone checked, his pockets checked, had his finances looked into, blood and urine tested and had a camera up the backside. FIA next race - we are doing a standard random check on Ferrari. (Picks leclerc) Leclerc tells the fia the car is red Fia - checks.....agrees...announces its ok and the inspection is over.

Bottas must be saddened by this... Nothing wrong with the car and he's still too slow!

F1 should get rid of FIA

*Random

To be honest, 1 car out of 20 is not enough, the teams could still take the risk of getting catched. I dont know what penaltys they get for breaking rules, but f.e. the 50.000$ Ferrari had to pay in 2019 Abu Dhabi GP for overfueling the car of Leclerc is a joke for the teams, at least for the bigger ones. I think 8 people who are checking the cars is way to less for such an expensive sport and a big organisation like the FIA.

Should have done that for the last 6 years

The content on this channel is incredible!!

Funny part about this is that Ferrari helps the FIA with this checks

Fia should explain what was really found and said to Ferrari as fia lol stands for Ferrari international assistance

good guy FIA trying to gate keep VW from entering the F1, thanks.

Why y’all gotta check Valterri’ car? Damnnn check another team

you are naive if u think this is about anything other then the FIA wanting more power over who wins and loses.

the fia definitely watched drive to survive season 3 specially that episode on toto wolff saying fuck you when they asked him if bottas was their number two driver

Is this an April 1 prank?

Probably give all the data to Ferrari.

It's very very clear, that everyone in paddock after 3 years, do not understand how tha hell Merc's are so damm fast .... even FIA with many years in the field doesn't understand it also. So .... Merc's are official Lab rats. Merc's are hitting hard on the Ferrari prestige legacy .... ( or FIA ? ). This is interesting because Merc's have an intriguing and overhelming perfomance overall.

I would love to see a group B of formula one

*After FIA finish checking the Mercedes* Mercedes : “Okay bois , is time to put back our sandbags we collected from Bahrain*

Wow they inspect the alowest merc 1st ppppffff typical they should check both!

Fia have tried their best to stop mercedes dominance. Failed big time.

if you continue adding ADS every 2 minutes I will just stop watchin your videos. This is more than acceptable!

Well its all great till all your secrets of the gray area are given to the favorite fia f1 team

I know it would take a lot of personnel and time but why cant a chassis be stripped down and investigated before practice. That way a car can be banned or team fined. The problem is the cars are independent in the internal design. And it is hard to see what things do, And electronics are hard to understand. NASCAR inspect 50 cars per event. Way more than F1´s 20 teams.

Why.... Ferrari, thats why

Will the new regs force the teams to fit Butt hole pressure sensors to each driver? If so, will the teams be required to log this sensor or will it just be a live channel. I only ask Bc it seems the fia is already up in the cars Butt so it’s a logical progression of the rules in my opinion. Thanks and have a nice day.

Χαχααα FIA sure yes.

What they have done last year with the deal with Ferrari doesn’t really tell me it’s always going to be about honesty as long as there is money involved

Why not check top 3 then 1 random?

Conspiracy theory: FIA is favoring mercedes... They just wanna know how much progress of other team in order to help mercedes (Lewis Hamilton) continue the domination...

Why are Tracing Point or whatever they’re called these days, allowed to still race with what is clearly a Mercedes..?

Would make more sense to select the winning car and one other car randomly!

Can't wait for RB to be "randomly" checked. I trust them as much as I trust the Chinese. While the FIA are at it, add track limits to the list. A suggestion is take the sand bags Mercedes are hiding and spread it out along the outside of the T4 equivalent at the next race.

So the FIA will go to these extraordinary lengths to check that the cars are legal but won’t consistently enforce a simple track limits rule.

Why don't they just check the winners car? Like GT Four Toyota Celica? For all these years they should have been checking Lewlews

The real question is who suddenly lost a ton of performance since testing? 🤔

they probably just skip the merc garage

A bit off topic, but talking of cost cap: How are FIA enforcing and checking the cost and spending of the teams? By checking their accountings etc.?

I wonder about this too. How will the FIA have to resources to do what government regulatory agencies can't?

not like they gonna release details if they would ever catch ferrari

Wow ! Such a detailed but can't find a solution for track limits ! Good job FIA !

FIA it’s James...

atleast Valterri got P1 in secret car checks in Bahrain

they need to check into his Pit crews who is actually working for Lewis behind the scenes.....

Should be done to all cars after every race. Boxers hand wrap are checked after every fight, so make it the standard.

First

Looks a better policy than changing track limits ruling halfway through a race. And no - I'm not saying overtaking while all four wheels are off track should ever be legal.

Could Bottas have won if it wasnt for the pitstop ?

Whelp Volkswagen definitely ain’t joining now.

hahaha I loved your comment! :)

Nikita Mazepain? Next?

Lol. Nascar has been doing this for years. Usually top 3 and a random car
