Not simply blindly following the intent of the change, but taking a ‘poacher turned game keeper approach’, i.e. This change allows the group to research the problems and then not only suggest changes, but test those changes too. This technical group is like an eleventh team, with enough engineers and resources to fully analyse the objectives of improving overtaking, with due diligence, not changes based on hunches – Pat Symonds, Jason Somerville and Craig Wilson heading the research group. With the acquisition by Liberty, came a change in F1’s governance, as Ross Brawn took on the role to look at future rules and the problems perceived with the current F1 car and rules. But this was a one off project and never developed beyond the 2009 ruleset. As the teams invested their own money into a limited aero research programme on the problems of overtaking. Only the work with the Overtaking Working Group for the 2009 rules avoided the mistakes of the past. This has increasingly led to a rule set that is overly specific and detrimental to either overtaking or costs. Teams would find loopholes, different interpretations or workarounds to circumvent the intention of the rules. Often kneejerk in their response to recent incidents, the resulting regulations were rarely thought through, evaluated by peers or achieved their goals. Whilst the process to establish new rules has changed very little until the past few seasons, historically the rules have been created without engineering rigour, the change coming about from a political desire to alter some aspect of the sport, typically slowing the cars or improving safety. In this set up the car has been proven to reduce the turbulence it leaves in its wake, while the underfloor and wings lose less downforce and balance in another cars wake.į1’s technical regulatory framework has evolved over many years, with the rulebook going from a few pages to over a 130-page document in 2021. New details are the front tyre fins and a return to wheel fairings. The front wing gains triangular endplates and the rear wing is reduced to an endplate-less upper design. We can see the new concept has larger underfloor tunnels, aimed at creating more downforce from beneath the car, a sloped nose/chassis leading back to swept sidepod inlets. However, this is enough to get a feel for this new era, with bigger wheels and low profile tyres, aerodynamics aimed at improving overtaking and a dramatic new ‘look’. What we saw isn’t an actual F1 car, merely the sport’s interpretation of the new rules. Finally, after being delayed by a year, the FIA unveiled a show car demonstrating the very different look of the 2022 F1 car.

We’ll be providing updates throughout the race and will drop in the winner once the race wraps sometime around 4 p.m.A major rewrite of the F1 technical regulations has been in the pipeline for years. The race gets underway at approximately 2 p.m. Considering Leclerc was bumped to P19 due to penalty, he has a lot of work in front of him to make his way to the front. It’s drop from there to Sergio Pérez, Lewis Hamilton, and Charles Leclerc at +2500. Carlos Sainz follows at +390 and Fernando Alonso is +1200 while starting in the P2 position. Verstappen is the pre-race favorite, installed at -280 odds to win at DraftKings Sportsbook.

He has claimed five checkered flags in eight races this season.
