Token system returned to Formula 1 and will oversee the further development of the racing cars for the 2021 season. Ferrari he has already decided how to use them - or rather where. For next year they will be in Maranello worked mainly on the back of the red goddessto trigger a possible reversal.
FIA introduced tokens due to the fact that the current policy was extended for a year 2021. Most mechanical parts are frozen or approved. But there is a way out, because any team can use it two tokensto further develop certain parts. Ferrari, which is experiencing a disastrous season this year, will certainly be happy to be able to improve its competitiveness for the 2021 season at least to some extent. Race car problem SF1000 is that they are in Maranello based on a powerful engine made a race car that has a higher air resistance, but after the intervention FIA, there is not enough power in the rear. Even in the area of the chassis, they can’t boast.
Nova drive unit is still being tested in Maranello, and on the chassis side Team focuses primarily on one area, as colleagues from autosprint says the chief designer Simone subtraction. "We will redesign the rear of the car.“Engineers are convinced that there is the most playing space in the back for improvements. “In addition, changes to the rules will affect the rear of the car," so Resta, which refers to the changes here aerodynamic loads in the area of the bottom of the car, where there would be no pruning to reduce the load Pirelli's tires. “All teams will lose in the light in the face of this change."
Because of this, it will be very important to gain or maintain as much as possible vacuum. "All of this leads us to believe that this is the most important area. For this reason, we will use the tokens to develop the rear of the car,He added Resta, which despite the plans Ferrari careful as to the prospects of the team in the future. “Freedoms are not as extensive as they seem. Over the winter, you are free to develop the engine, but this one will be frozen for the entire season from the first 2021 race.”Pri aerodynamics The FIA is not so strict, but there are restrictions in this area as well. “Aerodynamics is still limited by the structure beneath it. It’s like a dress worn by the body. And the dimensions of this body have an effect on the final shape,”Remark Resta.
If nose structure the race car remains about the same, the engineer can develop new front wings, but his creative autonomy is limited. “All these limitations mean that we find it very difficult to catch up to the top in one year,”He finally admits Resta.
