Rules changes they are usually the moment when engineers can separate from each other. The question that arises is who can find the golden egg among the rules, as he did Ross Brawn in 2009 with a double diffuser. The rules for next season are very strict, so we'll see if any of the engineering minds can make a big throw.
“In our DNA, there is a search for potential ports in the regulations. However, these are very rare in this case because the rules are very restrictive. Also because the F1 leadership is involved in the background of the development in order to find as many such gaps as possible and because the teams together with the FIA themselves are helping to look for the mentioned holes in the rules. I don’t want to rule out possible trials with tricks, but I don’t think there will be solutions worthy of the importance of a dual diffuser. It will be about small things, ” je Monchaux commented on his vision of the new rules for Auto, Motor and Sport.
Jan Monchaux he also touched on the comparison in speed between racing cars this year and the 2022 season: “The original design, including the extra weight, was five to six seconds slower than the current race cars. You need to make up an extra 40 pounds first. The new fuel could also cost some engine power. We will have to wait to see what engine manufacturers will be able to do with it. It’s hard to say how much you can make up for with aerodynamics. I think the difference will be about three seconds in the end. ”
Vse simulations have shown that the new race cars will hold up 86% vacuum at a distance in length Alfin's technical director expects the best to be significantly closer to the current times after all. ”The world champion is likely to get to one and a half to two seconds. That is my assessment. Budget constraint or not - large teams have better staff and more successful methods to achieve their goals faster than small teams,”He concludes Monchaux.
