Even in the last championship Formula 1 the 2020 season we experienced very different races. Let’s take the last two namely VN Sakhir, which was a real thriller and finale GP Abu Dhabi, which was a living boredom.
Lewis Hamilton has been criticizing for years Formula 1who has trouble overtaking. Because little has changed on the basic problem. “All of this is specific to individual tracks. But if your car isn't at least a second faster than a competitor, then overtaking is very difficult,”So a seven-time world champion. Modern race cars with wide tires and a lot of vacuum they create a huge amount of so-called dirty air, i.e. the swirling air behind the race car. This makes it difficult for the competitor to approach the race car in front of him in the breeze. For Ross Brown, the sports boss of Formula 1, this is one of the most important points of Regulation 2022. With the new generation of race cars, it should be easier for racers to get ahead of the competition in front of them.
"My hope is that racing cars will evolve in the coming years so that one day we can give up the DRS system," so Brown. The first numbers and the wind tunnel for the car year 2022 were encouraging. Chief of FIA technicians Nicholas Tombazis said: “Basically, when working on the Sauber wind tunnel, the numbers from the simulations were confirmed. If we start from the fact that today the air flow to the car is deteriorating by 50 percent, if one car wants to follow another, we are at 10 percent for the new models.“But James key, technical team leader McLaren, says no system DRS it probably won't work. “I certainly think the adjustable rear wings will have less of an impact, but I’m afraid it will still be necessary. Because the problem is not only the race cars, but also the tracks. Racers are so fast on certain tracks that there is no chance of overtaking at all. And this is where DRS can help."
