As F1's car launch season wraps up for 2024, we're seeing an alarming trend of the cars being mostly carbon rather than sporting proper liveries. Is this actually a problem though? And if it is, how do we fix it? Well we may only need to look back to 2017 for the answer...

FINALLY people are starting to be pissed at this! It has been bothering me since last year and people were praising last year’s liveries! I thought for sure that we would just allow F1 teams to make their cars all carbon with just sponsors eventually but now more people want there to be requirements about where there needs to be paint, AS WELLL AS a minimum for it. Which I would wholeheartedly support. Alpine’s livery could have been the best of the year but because of the weight saving it is now the worst because it doesn’t even resemble a regular Alpine livery! I do NOT picture them as mainly black.

How would that address the issue Will raises here? He points out that allowing the teams to remove paint (the color that is something other than the black carbon fiber) is diluting the team brand recognition for newer fans and making it harder for everyone to identify who is who. Your proposal is to just....put a clear coat on the carbon fiber....which would still show the black instead of something more identifiable for each team? You end up with the exact same problem Will was just talking about while adding weight to the car.

Right as I finished my first comment, it hit me what I think you were going for here. You're proposing that, if they are required to put clear coat on a spot, they'll just decide they might as well paint it in their colors instead? That makes more sense, but that idea doesn't really come through in your original suggestion.

Weight saving is good, but not at cost of a livery, no matter how good or bad it may be. On the other hand, I am all for reducing the weight limit. Given the cost cap, I would go as far as to suggest to remove the minimum weight completely. As long as you pass the crash test, you’re fine

@samuelromero4696 4 ай бұрын

Maybe i'm the one thinking it wrong but....... I'm pretty sure the issue here it's that every team wants to be as light as possible and if it means using less paint then they don't care about it. I see it this way, if Ferrari can paint their car almost entirely then that could mean their car is "light enough". But imagine tomorrow they remove the limits, then Ferrari in search for more performance against a +1s faster RB, will resort to anything at their disposal to accomplish that goal, even removing almost any trace of weight possible, and thus there goes the paint.

@samuelromero4696 4 ай бұрын

The only solution i can think of for this dilemma is to just ban F1 cars to have unpainted carbon fiber on their liveries. That would force the teams to paint the cars and if the design of any car has too much space available to paint then that's not our problem. Also that would mean they have to use actual black and not carbon fiber if they want a black colored car which negates the weight advantage

Unfortunately I think the minimum weight of paint suggestion falls under something Will brought up. I don't think there is a way to figure out the weight of just the paint, at least not one that would be worth the expense to implement. The % of the car having to be painted is a bit more workable, but still much more trouble than it is probably worth. You'd have techs having to measure the surface area of the whole car and then just the area covered by paint. I'm sure there are programs you could use to do that with digital images, but that would probably be a pain to enforce all season. Much simpler to just require parts of the car to be painted.

@aethyr6776 4 ай бұрын

@@pe-peron8441 You think keeping track of the weight of the paint would be simpler? I have to disagree, as that sounds like a nightmare to implement. The teams would have to be stripping and reapplying the paint at each race if the FIA wanted to actually enforce it, since that would be the only way the FIA would be able to maintain control over the cars for verifiable weights. The teams wouldn’t be getting any work done for getting the car ready for the race. But beyond the impracticality of how the FIA would even be able to consistently enforce a paint weight, why would you even set a required weight for just paint? They already enforce a weight for the car. Enforcing a weight of paint isn’t what they could care about in the context of this video so much as area of surface coverage.

a tiny correction at 3:39 - Teams aren't trying to get legal, as they are all above minimum allowed weight. What they are trying to do is to get weight of their cars as near as possible to that minimum allowed because of performance gains. Ideally they'd want to make them even lighter than minimum as that would allow them to place weights to get back up to the minimum allowed weight. And those weights can be placed strategically so that it improves cars performance.

Vinyl wrap for a road car typically weighs around 5 to 6 lbs, so completely cover a much larger surface area than an F1 car. Even if they went with 50% coverage and commissioned 3M to make a thinner, lighter vinyl for F1, we're talking a couple pounds. FIA should make it mandatory to cover 50% with something. The onboard cameras weigh more than that.

How much weight has been added due to safety? The halo, roll hoop, fuel tank, additional reinforcement for the chassis. Let’s be charitable and say that added 90kg. That means without the safety advancements cars would weigh 710kg. What happened to that 600kg 90s/ 2000s cars?

As for the liveries, they should mandate a 80% paint minimum. Carbon fiber accents are cool when they’re just that, accents, not the main color scheme. As for the car launches, they should be done the week of pre season testing. Teams will be more honest with their cars as that’s not enough time for teams to copy any innovations fast enough without placing themselves at a disadvantage under the current cost cap regs.

@irrationalgeographic9953 4 ай бұрын

I think if a team is searching for being up to 1sec faster over 70 laps by decreasing the amount of vinyl on the car I really think the team has bigger problems. When you look at the top 3 or 4 teams last year they interesting enough have the least bare carbon body work. I would argue that Red Bull and Ferrari were the teams that had the most vinyl on the car and they did alright. Who ever can come up with either coloured carbon fibre or a paint or vinyl that is highly aerodynamic will be a rich man or woman.

I liked the comments about long time fans vs. new fans. While I don't like the carbon fiber look and everybody starts to look the same, I can tell the cars (and usually which driver just by how much they are crashing) no matter how little paint there is. But I never really thought how useless it seems to a new fan, they literally have no idea what's going on or which car is which. And don't even get me started that the race order graphics only having 3 letters for the driver, team, car and look-alike livery. So for first 3 years you watch, you have no idea what HAM, LAW, GAS, RUS or ZHO is except maybe a new TV show about a overweigh lawyer who drives cars in an aggressive Eastern European country and . . . what the hell's a ZHO!

You can demand a lot of things, the problem is enforcing the rules. FIA apparently doesn't have resources to check all the planks and fuel in all of the cars every race and have to pick a random one.

I think the belief that carbon takes away the ability to tell the cars apart is an over exaggerated take. Every car has their team colors clearly displayed, each team's colors are different enough to tell who's who, and each livery is designed in a unique enough manner. The carbon does cut into the brand image, that much is true, but nobody should be confused as to which car is which unless they're inebriated or something. This is a problem, but it's one that F1 and the FIA themselves have created. Everyone can deal with this until the new regs in 2026.

Pretty much all team-based sports have teams design a shirt or something of the sort to easily differentiate them from each other. SINCE 1890, football teams have been required to differentiate from each other in kit design; starting as not allowing any similar colours, which was later replaced by having 2 or more different kit designs. On top of differentiating purposes, colours typically have a significant history for the club in question and are iconic. Manchester United is red, Manchester City is blue. FC Barcelona has blue+red, while Real Madrid has white. For simplicity, let's say black is just the lightest kit colour in terms of weight. If clubs started removing their kit's colours to save weight, and they all converged on mostly black designs, people would get upset and there's regulations already in place to combat this. F1 doesn't have any regulations in this field, and the teams are exploiting it for weight saving. How are you gonna tell all the cars apart if they're all basically the same colour?

I’m gonna go a bit more extreme here by saying remove paints on your car doesn’t improve your performance. Here’s why: back in 2019 and 2020, many team started to use matte paint job because according to them it’s lighter than the glossy paint. But then Mercedes will storming through the grid, winning both championships with a glossy paint car. And the same thing happened in 2023. Red Bull and Ferrari were the teams with most amount of color on their car and they’re also the only two teams that won races. Even Aston Martin with their glossy paint also got 8 podiums. Meanwhile Haas finished last with their car that has more carbon than paints. So in my opinion stripping paints off your car makes no difference. At the end it all comes down to the design of your car, not the livery on it.
