Surprised to see an ad for Morning Brew right after I read this morning's Morning Brew

glad u getting sponsors in since this is a somewhat niche of youtube, but i think you slowly become the 3kliksphilip of F1, now only F1 has to listen to you :D superb video

Not sure what to say Stuart... Either you're trying hard to mimic Brandon Perna (ThatsGoodSports) with the ad, or you're just intending to look like a homeless British man who needs his news. i love it

They have to do something with Monaco. It can't continue like this year. Very good proposals👍🏼. Push them. Your viewers will support you

We want modern formula 1 cars with same size of f1 cars of the 50's

Safety might be a factor in the width though... (but it can probably be reduced somewhat...)

But what about VSC ore a SC.

Take the jokers as the actual laps

I agree. I commented about joker laps months ago in a make F1 exiting or something video. But I think only 5 each per race as it will just get too messy with 20 cars needing to do 10 each. Also remove a lot of the aero from cars to lessen the effect of following close behind.

I've never thought about it, but it must be impossible to travel around Monaco on a race weekend right?

They can just use their helicopters to get from one side to the other. 😉

@@Tomwithnonumbers that's why friday is an off day to allow locals to move around the city. And to resupply stuff

If Germany can survive that for half a century, I'm sure that Monaco can survive that for a few weeks.

@@OnionChoppingNinja lol thats savage xD

It could be done too, with almost no extra effort. But it would mean that F1 needs to admit that Monaco isn't a good race, which it won't do

@@tashakay1734 you make it just like pit re-entry. No issues

@Toby Cripps Good point. I'm sure DRS will be gone soon enough anyway.

I do very much prefer this over 5sec added to a pit/end, since 5 seconds could mean anything depending on when a safety car shows up

@@manicdan481 yeah. With this system you can just add a joker to the number they need to complete and forget about it

Yes, that works especially in MotoGP where the rider serves a long lap penalty which is basically a joker lap, instead of getting a time penalty at the end of the race. It keeps the racing alive.

This might penalize them more than intended though since they would burn extra fuel they didn't anticipate. Might cause them to have to conserve fuel for the rest of the race depending on when the penalty occurs. I'm not really a fan of a variable penalty which changes depending on other external decisions.

@@stevehawke7315 but i would also see it as a FURTHER incentive to avoid penalties, considering you now have the knowledge that if you get a penalty, youre gonna lose out on time and fuel..

Each driver has to compete in the Monte Carlo Rally at least once every six laps.

What if the joker route was a bridge over the water

@@eliassaratsis too dangerous, realistically, if a car went off the driver is trapped and sinking.

Kimi will finally have the drink

the rejoin entry can be set at the inner side near a turn, cars that go normal route tends go outside. Just like pitlane exit.

not really. teams can still run simulations on the fly and know which strategy is best. the only ones guessing are the viewers and fans..

...and benefits more of F1 than just Monaco.

Yes I love it too, probably more realistic to have a small one considering logistics. Also it would be more feasible if the rejoin part isn’t on the race line for safety reasons. And probably just limit the amount of jokers so it doesn’t get too confusing to see who is effectively in the lead but a bit of chaos is in that regard is definitely welcome.

@@robnauta6470 They have the Mario Kart lane on Formula-e with matching infographics to see who did and who didn't do it, I think they could do something like that.

Real problem is how to rejoin « regular » track safely after your joker lap ? Moreover, they will arrive at Port Chicane with a lot more speed …

It would be interesting to see someone make a mod for the Joker/Mega Joker variants of the track for assetto corsa or another game on the sim

@Cristián Salinas See how does it matter to us if it's slower. Like we literally can't see it and even a 5 second slower lap time is nothing if you are given better racing

I thin mopst people will agreee though that f1 has been better since 2017 then it was from 2014-2016

@@Noreceipts400 Massively disagree, as someone who's been watching since the Schumacher era. Dirty air makes races way more boring as a whole.

@Cristián Salinas How so? Removing dirty air from being a massive problem helps bring things closer, because of ground effect not caring too much. Cost caps reduce the advantage rich teams have, and making ERS more complex would introduce more strategy into the mix. Have you seen any team compete for 1st in the v6 era that isn't named Mercedes, Ferrari, and now Red Bull? There are huge gaps, and everyone deserves to win if their team is ingenious and their driver fast enough. These new regs will shake things up in the first few years, but afterwards things will fall back to being more stable.

He’s the problem. Look at Monaco from the last decade. From 09-16, were there any really good races? No. Honestly, I feel the 09-13 regs were a misstep as well. One that could have worked out, but the introduction of DRS and Pirelli tires put an end to the intrigue after 2010. And the 14-16 regs were even worse. The previous era cars I think were the perfect example of F1 cars. The 98-08 cars. I feel the length was perfect, the aero looked great and the noise of both the V8 and V10s were fantastic. The 95-97 cars looked excellent but they just like the modern cars, were to wide. F1 should be more nimble and agile. I think back to the 70s and early 80s design of F1 cars or the late 90s to late 00s. I think a mix of the two is the correct size. The smaller, less aero dynamic designs would reduce costs and the smaller size could create more action. I feel that’s the change that needs to be made. Go smaller and more agile.

On cameras: even now they are struggling to follow cars through, so I don't think the broadcasting could be any worse :D

Given this year's coverage, i don't think joker laps could make the TV coverage any worse 😂

Stupid Thing here is, that it would Kill every close Racing, and Overtake Trys. Because you know you are faster. So Cars would change Positions, without Overtaking.

@@kallo182 but this is Monaco we’re talking about. There is hardly any overtaking anyway.

Will they fix the size of the car with the new regularions next year?

@@TheRUBrally barely, just slightly smaller so they should really make them smaller in 2025

Not a bad idea. I honestly think the cars just need to be lighter and smaller. I feel somewhere between the 70s to early 80s and late 90s to late 00s is around a good size. Keep them small and nimble.

But why get rid of the ice? It would be a whole new challenge for the drivers!

Are we talking Smirnoff Ice?

Na keep the Ice, just give them the option of using Studded Tyres

Yep the current traffic jam fest is ridiculous. One at a time on track, one attempt per driver, and maybe we could do it in the order of driver's championship points. The leader goes first and gets the greenest track while the ones at the back get a better, more rubbered-in track. It'll level the playing field a bit. Unless of course it rains midway through the quali. But it could've also rained just before quali as well.

@@Kepe they've already tried it and it was a bit crap

@@weedfreer I know, it was better than everyone getting in each other's way. But they didn't do it in reverse championship points order back then. I think they did the opposite. Fastest car + driver of the season got the best track conditions for quali.

@@Kepe how is that fair to the rest of the pack though? The first ones out in that scenario will always be the worst performing on any given Saturday as they will not only have to be dealing with a sub par car, they'd also have to be dealing with sub optimal conditions...the best will always remain the best, nothing would ever change...1 team would likely dominate I'd sooner see a split Q1 whereby the cars were sent out in 2 lots, car 1 then car two...leaving it to the teams to decide which car goes out in which session. Maybe even do similar for Q2...granted, the team's with only 1 car would have to make a choice as to which run they sent their car out...unless the FIA drew lots prior to the session. That way, the two best drivers may not even meet until Q3...unless their team are feeling feisty and decide to take it to their rival prior to Q3. Could leave the decision making until the last seconds before qually...allowing teams to swap their drivers session until right upto the cutoff.

@@weedfreer What I suggested was that the championship leader does their quali lap first and the last driver in the championship is the last one to do their lap. That would even the playing field for the worse teams and would probably give us some interesting starting grids and more passing during the race. I then explained that what we used to have something like 15-20 years ago was a qualifying with 1 car doing a hot lap at a time, but the order they did it in was so that the championship leader went out last and got the best, most rubbered-in track conditions. In the system you're suggesting, teams would always send their #1 driver last and their number two driver in the earlier lot, so that the #1 driver gets the better track conditions. It would be kinda upsetting to watch that as it would be similar to having team orders during the race, telling the #2 driver to let #1 driver overtake them. The teams would be compromising the weekend of the #2 driver already in qualifying.

Ah yes, missed opportunity

Ha ha brilliant.

Am I missing some reference?

@ during an actual exciting overtake moment the broadcast suddenly changed to a replay of lance stroll hitting a curb, causing the viewers to miss the pass.

@@Roppatt97 i just watched a highlights video and.. what the hell is this DRS? is this racing or a video game?

Exactly my point. Minimal invasive action for now, cars will come out of the tunnel side by side. Then the ball lies in the court of the fia to make the cars smaller. As we've seen before, f1 constructors are more than capable to get lost time back!

@@dsf0501 Speakin' my language over here.

bruhh

Mercedes come with a tactical tsunami when their on the ferry

make a pitstop for special water tires, then take a large runup and let them drive over the water, add an ejector seat in case they lose speed and start sinking, i'd watch that

This is an obviously terrible idea but the thinking behind it is surprisingly sound.

But the driver needs to also drive the ferry otherwise performance might be influenced by external actors

problem with that is TT is about 1000 km longer than Monaco

Actually, an admirable suggestion. One small issue tho - Monaco is WAY too short.

@@mitchell-wallisforce7859 What course extensions are possible? Are there any other possible extensions beyond what Chain Bear suggested?

@@taufiqutomo Uh, I don't think trying to alter the layout of one of motorsport's foremost heritage tracks is really what we should be thinking of doing.

I thought the idea was to see more overtaking not none at all.

thats a nice idea need some spice to make it different like something grand for sunday

You're right about loving the quali but if we had a race like Formula-E, then I'd take that instead!!!

The racing did look amazing, and although I wish the best for Formula E - I was saddened when I looked at lap times. I know the layout changed a bit, but even accounting for that, it looks like an F1 car from about 1972 could beat them !?!

@@willdarling1 Slower racing is part of the reason it was more exciting and easier for side by side and many passes, along with their "attack mode" strategy mixed in. FE is still nearly 100kph off F1 top speeds, no one expected a close lap time.

@@DjFIL007 I expected them to be closer than 1972. Electric racing will take over F1before long, but I dont think it will be FE.

@@willdarling1 I mean, the current lap times being so far off is kind of why FE exists, to drive innovation in EV technology, particularly in the batteries. The main reason for the lap times being off is that they have to lift and coast at the moment to finish the race; if battery technology gets to a point where they could go flat out for 45min+1, they would be rapid. Not F1 pace mind, the amount of downforce that F1 has would cause too much drag for an FE car to be efficient enough.

Looks exciting, sounds shit.

Don't know about these. The problem with the first one is that weather conditions will determine the winner. The giga lap would have to close off too much road to be viable

Thank you! I was racking my brain so hard for where that came from! Luigi was the man in that game! 😂

My boy Luigi finally getting the respect he deserves. ♥️

Such wisdom

I'm halfway to the opposite idea. Quali works as is, so leave it be. The race though? Make it a 100 lap test of endurance, like it was back when Moss won his first. The added specter of reliability concerns will spice up the show in the absence of overtakes. Oh, and one more thing.... MAKE THE CARS SMALLER!!

@@mitchell-wallisforce7859 I've seen this idea of smaller cars brought up quite often. How though? Make teams invest tens of millions into a smaller car just for one race? Only a bunch of teams would have the resources to do that. Make cars smaller in general? Well... they just agreed upon the new regulations. Good luck changing things now, just to accomodate for better racing in Monaco. Use other cars? Not F1 anymore, sorry... Regarding your other ideas, i don't know. An endurance race at Monaco would kinda be a torture to watch. Excitement doesn't come from retirements or crashes, in my opinion. (Edit: I'm not saying endurance is about retirements and crashes, far from that. It's just that Monaco is not suited for endurance imho and F1 cars aren't either...) My "proposal" focuses on already existing rules. So no major changes would be required, it would be easy to implement and easy to follow for viewers. Just one more stage of quali and one more pit stop, which are the areas were Monaco shines! More of that, less of the rest.

@@bradwavemb I would like to add that smaller cars could improve overtaking in general

@@Ok-fu5yi I'm not an expert, but I don't think size is the most important factor in that. This year's cars seem quite capable at overtaking, for example.

@@chainbear based

@@chainbear they're millionaires because they are good at holding on to money, at other people's expense. If money was no object, I'd erect a temporary extension to the waterfront and widen the track around the swimming pool section to add some spectator areas, but more importantly, overtaking opportunity

Love the joker idea too. The MEGA JOKER is what was advertised, a bit crazy.

Aside from just... making the cars smaller... this is the best idea. Maybe use F2s since those still have a bit of power.

Plus the straight is too short for the DRS to become effective aswell

Attack mode always starts at the activation zone, in this case going way off line to the left of Casino Square. The three key differences are 1: attack mode always lasts a defined period, versus DRS resetting the next time the brakes are used 2: you can begin an attack mode period on any lap except the first two (unless safety car or full course yellow which is basically VSC) so long as you're not already in attack mode 3: activation is essentially a mini-joker, you have to go off-line and lose time and possibly track position to activate it and get the higher power. F1 aero means the space within a few seconds behind any other car is a perma-joker, making you work harder to hold the gap until it's small enough for DRS.

Also regardless of car size, Monaco is a single line circuit at f1 speeds. The fact formula E is much slower is actually the main reason the can run side by side.

then they definitely have to also restrict length, otherwise the cars will look even dumber than they look already. even f2 sizing would greatly improve racing i believe

@@elcommento I agree

Just shorten them and let them use whatever tyres and strategy they choose. Some of us are old enough to remember some all-time classic races at Monaco, in the past, even at 2 metre car widths

Smaller as in as which era small? Overtaking in Monaco became almost impossible in the 80s if not before that so I don’t really understand all of these moans that monaco gp is boring. It’s a proper street circuit and with that come the great things as well as the drawbacks.

@@indiebekonn But like he has shown in the video, there were quite interesting races in formula-e and formula2 with the more compact cars.

What do you mean?

@@gianb3952 the purple parts he’s suggesting to be used as a joker route, if you were to add those to the current track and just make them a regular part of the track everybody uses throughout the race, you’d have more room for a possible overtake!

@@bynahelemaal ohhh ok i got it

@@gianb3952 make the mega joker the new route delete the casino turn

You have NO idea how much that surprised me.

#4 Exactly. The principality should buy and tear down some buildings to create an overtaking point. If they’re serious about putting on a good race it’s an investment they should make. Otherwise they’re in for a future where the most exciting action is a stuck wheel nut.

It would be interesting, for just one or two seasons initially, to abandon Monaco and use, say, Circuit Paul Ricard. During those two seasons redesign F1 cars to be shorter and more compact, which could offer just as much grip on a lighter car, while reducing the "clear air turbulence" effect, thereby helping overtaking and wheel to wheel racing. If successful, this would allow Monaco to be used once more.

so you’d just have to make a lot of mandatory pitstops

@@cdw2468 smaller fuel tanks and refuelling?

@@farren82 refueling hurts on track overtakes

Would only work if there was a mandated number of stops, and it would have to be a lot more then normal too. Plus, takes out the element of driver skill, and swaps it over to pit stop crew skill. It's still skillful, of course, but not the same, so it's not pointless to have both.

@@cdw2468 no. I'm pointing to the fact that it's not working because teams calculate a pit 'window' in a way to minimise losses.
