Haas have just revealed a car which is completely different from the one they revealed the other week and looks more like the Ferrari. https://twitter.com/HaasF1Team/status/1495682741177827330?t=D_fz4eXvx6dsoD2uvzVqzg&s=19

Will be interesting to see what they really have this week (since the Barcelona shakedown starts on Wednesday).

Do the rules say anything about your two cars being the same as long as they both conform to the regs?

Yeah I don't think that rule has changed but if you mean 2 different car designs, if they're legal sure, just like teams sometimes change mid-season (Force India a few years back for instance) There is one footnote though. A "Car" for constructor's championship purposes is defined as a car and engine. So if Haas somehow had an old car running Renault engines and used it for the first 2 rounds, then any points scored would not count the same as the ones scored with their Ferrari powered car. Two different Ferrari engines is just fine. This happened a bit during the change to the turbo era when teams like Lotus and Williams got their turbo Renaults and Hondas mid year. In 1983 Williams were both 4th and 11th in the constructor's championship for this reason. In one race Lotus actually got Elio De Angelis disqualified because he qualified a Lotus - Renault and then thanks to a failure hopped in the Ford powered car for the race. That "team" hadn't qualified so they chucked him out. Lotus though used 2 different Renault powered cars that season and it was fine. Dudley fucked around with this message at 16:08 on Feb 21, 2022 |

Williams only had the Honda Turbos for 1 round in 1983. In 1982, Brabham appeared in the constructors championship twice, as Brabham-BMW and Brabham-Ford. They would use whichever engine suited the track (also the BMW was extremely unreliable and had atrocious power delivery despite being powerful.)

The Team was "BMW Sauber" who happened to have Ferrari engines.

Frond posted:Williams only had the Honda Turbos for 1 round in 1983. Yep but they scored points in that one round, making them better than Mazepin. There's a few other examples too. Lotus ran as two teams for most of 83, after the DQ incident in race one Elio raced with the Renaults and Mansell with the Fords for a full half of the year before they finally had enough Renaults to run the 2nd car with them.

Why can’t you just change your name whenever you want Who cares? I’m sure there’s some dumb corruption related justification.

It gets more confusing- neither Suzuki or Bernard were DQ’d from the driver’s championship, all of their results stood. And the team kept it’s prize money. Which makes you wonder why they even bothered.

In the past you could run two different designs as long as they were legal - I think the last time that happened was Forti in 1996 so I dunno what the current rule is.

And yet Haas don't have to call theirs a Dallara. And there's a big pile of engines not being entered as what they were, most recently literally this year by Red Bull.
