What Are The Overtaking Rules In F1?

Kimi Antonelli and George Russell : I don't care

me doing my career in F1 2019
dive bomb everyone and got squeezed by every AI on any corner when on side by side

there's overtaking in f1?

I miss Schumacher

This video sucks… and it’s clearly for people who already know the intricacies of the system and minutia of the rules.

this has clarified nothing. now i'm more confused.

I don’t know the rules, I just take the inside and pray

These rules doesn’t apply to Max Verstappen.

who in 2025?

The simple thing you need to understand, is whatever the scenario you MUST leave a cars width once a car is alongside you. Whether you're attacking or defending, you cannot force a car which is alongside you off the track.

This means if you're diving in late, you need to be able to turn sharply enough to leave a cars width on the outside. And if you're defending that dive, you can't simply run the guy trying to pass off at the exit of the corner.

Unless you're Max...in which case you can force anyone off track anytime you like and complain on the radio that it was their fault, because your dad will beat their mum up if you dont like it.

Thumbnail enter high exit low is entirely legal and valid as long as the overtaker doesn't squeeze the overtakee toward the outside, in which case it all depends on which driver is the stewards' pet, which is the determining factor in ninety per cent of decisions.

No wonder modern Formula 1 is so boring.

There is only one Rule: All the time you have to leavea a space.

35, 3+5=7 thala for a reason

Oh how I hate these cheap, silly stock pictures and video clipw, used in 1000s of different videos... lame

Things happen wayyy to fast for fans to care... We just need the clearly illegal plays... The grays are really something we love when the top 10 are battling for position safely

What is lap in formula1 can anyone explain? Very new to formula 1

General rule is: if you are behind and don't have overlap before braking zone, you don't deserve any space from opponent ahead even if you get overlap during braking. If you have at least your front axle side by side with your opponent that is ahead, he needs to give you space, and the one on the inside rather than the one on the racing line decides how much space to give.

Really bugs me when people beg for likes and subs.

Bro why would anybody wanna "race" this...

10 sec for

Lance stroll probably watched this video and his comment is somewhere in here asking anothermquestion

This video was somewhat clear until you mentioned the un-defined term "dive bombing" at the end, then any clarity on the entire subject went out the window.

These rules make the race boring. RACe needs more aggression

why not to ban defensive actions at all?

I stopped watching f1 years ago, as I got so boring 💤

"Who deserved the penalty?"
Actually we always know the answer to that... 5 second penalty for Ocon

Meanwhile most people struggle to overtake properly in their normal street cars. Maybe we should make rules for street car overtaking too? I think that would be very helpful.

Now I'm more confused

@lewishamilton

I am not glad I clicked on this video

what a crap of a video, show the moves, show the videos not just pictures

The F1 Overtaking rules are clear as basketball's charging and pick rules.

Breaking all of this down in the easiest fashion for me personally to understand. Just don't be a dick...

I've heard that F1 rules are more like guidelines and all the racers just have the mutual understanding that they're there for saftey

Gonna need to watch this 5 more times

Dumbest sport

Lol max broke all the rules

Lewis , senna , shumer , lonso don’t no matter what they going retire and be the greatest ever and we going get interviews of them joking like “I hated your guts “

so hamilton was right then verstappen hit hamilton.. max was blaming ham

You hit 1.7 million wow over the goal what is the next sub goal?

I just the weaving rule is meh just let the drivers drive

the common ground amongst all the rules about overtaking is, it prevents unnecessary crashes. i think the rules, case by case, are pretty clear. i do think the stewards dont always enforce them equally.

I more confused 😅
