A superlicence is a driver’s ticket to ride in Formula 1. As Colton Herta recently discovered, even if you have the offer of a race seat, without the right paperwork you cannot compete in F1. Currently, to qualify for an FIA Formula 1 Driver Super Licence – to use its official name – you must accumulate 40 points based on your achievements in three of the past four years. As a look back through Formula 1 history reveals, there are eight world champions who would likely have failed in their bids for a superlicence were the current system in place. #F1 #Formula1 #superlicence Subscribe: http://the-race.com/youtube_subscribe Website: http://the-race.com/ Twitter: @wearetherace Instagram: @wearetherace Facebook: http://facebook.com/wearetherace Podcasts: http://the-race.com/podcasts Thanks for watching - please like, share and comment, please also hit subscribe to show your support so we'll keep doing what we're doing. https://www.the-race.com http://www.twitter.com/wearetherace
**A big thanks to @Crashalong for allowing us to use their excellent 3D animation of the collision! Please check out their channel for more videos like this.** Red Bull's attempts to get Lewis Hamilton's 10-second penalty from the British Grand Prix for his collision with Max Verstappen reviewed have failed. In this video we outline what we learned from the stewards' verdict on Red Bull's supposed new evidence, explain why Mercedes was so unimpressed, and look at the bizarre role Red Bull reserve driver Alex Albon had to play in helping Red Bull's case.

Lando Norris is briefly on 10 licence penalty points and only two from a Formula 1 race ban. That will change before the next event but it’s a tally he believes he’s reached for “stupid” reasons. That’s earned him the support of Max Verstappen and prompted McLaren to call for a review of F1’s licence penalty point system. Norris will still be on a tightrope until more of his points elapse, as one more slip-up in the eyes of the officials would place him back on the brink. In this video Scott Mitchell reviews how the McLaren driver ended up so close to a ban, why the stewards were so busy at the Austrian GP and what the FIA thinks of all the fuss around the penalty points system.

F1 teams have followed a trend in recent years of trying to make their nose designs as narrow as possible - an idea pioneered by Mercedes. But the thinking behind this trend goes back much further than what Mercedes did in 2017. As Edd Straw explains in this video, the theory behind the narrow noses of today can be traced back 30 years, and what we see on the current cars are a consequence of several rule changes over the last decade #F1 Subscribe: http://the-race.com/youtube_subscribe Website: http://the-race.com/ Twitter: http://twitter.com/WeAreTheRace Instagram: http://instagram.com/WeAreTheRace Facebook: http://facebook.com/WeAreTheRace Podcasts: http://the-race.com/podcasts Thanks for watching - please like, share and comment, please also hit subscribe to show your support so we'll keep doing what we're doing. https://www.the-race.com http://www.twitter.com/wearetherace
Every team on the F1 grid except Haas has now adopted the 'Z-floor' design, initially pioneered by a handful of teams in pre-season in response to rule changes for this year. In this video Edd Straw explains what a Z-floor is, the aerodynamic effect the design achieves, and why all of the teams except the one not developing its car this year rushed to copy it over the first few races of the campaign.

When the 2022 F1 season kicks off the cars on the grid will be 99kg heavier than the first cars of the hybrid era were in 2014. In this video Scott Mitchell explains that incredible rise in weight, especially given how much heavier the 2014 cars were than the V10 and V8-era cars that came before them. We also look at how the extra weight has caused problems for F1, and why there is little sign of the trend being reversed any time soon.

There have been times when F1 could have done a little better with some of their rules...
