McLAREN was the first team to test the bottom of the 2021 SEASON car

McLaren as a pioneer - for the first time ever, a Formula 1 team tested the bottom of the 2021 generation on the current car, when the vacuum reduction will apply.

British traditional team is in free practice on Friday GP of Belgium v They connect first time driving with bottom of the 2021 generation race car. He was with that McLaren the first team to practically test the new rules on the track, albeit only for a short time.

Carlos Sainz he drove only on Friday morning’s first free practice a few miles, but still a team McLaren supplied with many taxes to evaluate, allowing the team’s engineers to continue developing this important area of ​​the car. Team boss Andreas Seidl he had previously explained that the team wanted to test experimental parts and that is exactly what happened.

Carlos Sainz drove a few laps in the first free practice on Friday with the new bottom of the 2021 racing car and provided the engineer with important data for further development.

And what is different on new bottom of the car season 2021? It's an area directly in front of the rear wheels on the outer edge of the bottom of the car. So where there’s been more and more lately comma, grooves and even holes. The second year will be this area significantly narrower and will rejuvenate all the way to the last suspension. It will be missing approx triangular section in front of the rear wheels. Z by trimming the aerodynamics the bottom is at FIA they promise to slow down the race cars that will be driving in the 2021 season third year with tires, which were initially intended only for the season 2019. Taken away capacity it is supposed to equalize the vacuum acquired since then.

Lando Norris, however, had the current bottom of the car and a comparison of the two photos nicely shows us the difference in this very important aerodynamic area.

From year 2017 the teams did these to their advantage said notches and holesto minimize air turbulence front wheels before they reach diffuser in the back of the car. In addition, they tried to do more effective way redirect airflow past the rear wheelsso that it can run optimally on diffuser. It will both take years 2021 severely limited.
