McLaren expects to play “TRICKS” in terms of RULES 2022

James Key, McLaren's technical chief, expects the teams to play certain "tricks" with the new rules of the 2022 season, but not to the point of misleading the FIA's rulers.

formula 1 next season enters a new era with completely new race cars, and the main goal is to create equivalent and exciting races, although there was no shortage of excitement this year either. The new rules should give some teams lower on the scale a chance to potentially reduce lag behind Mercedes in Red Bullom, who were far ahead of the others in the just-concluded season.

Much of this year was spent working on the race car new seasons in McLaren it is expected to produce its first chassis of 2022 in December. James key, technical team leader from Woking believes that the team could have the opportunity to z new regulations gain an advantage over competitors before the years come 2023 to rapprochement when it actually will saw, who did best work. "The rules are written restrictively, but this encourages innovation,”Is for colleagues from car engine and sport said Key. “I expect to see different ideas. We will all look at what others have been doing. In doing so, everyone must first make sure that what was envisioned in the factory actually gets on track. The correlation will be checked here. We will compare the pros and cons. I think that from 2023 onwards, the teams will get closer in accordance with these rules, because the big trends will be recognized as early as 2022."

The biggest opportunities for innovations or interpretations of the new rules of the 2022 season are expected to be offered by the front wings, according to McLaren's technical chief.

As for the specifics, here Key directs his gaze to front and rear wings as important areas, especially given the controversies that have already arisen this season, when the two Mercedes in Red Bull he pointed his finger at the other with respect legality or the differences of their race cars. “Rear wing testing will be tightened. It comes back to you, beam wings, which you can definitely use in some way."Pri"beam wing”It’s about the wings that are set lower nad diffuser and by directing the air above it, the car pushes even harder to the ground. We have seen this in the past. “The front wings are a massive part. But there are also strict guidelines for stiffness. I think there will be some tricks right here that the teams will be able to play with, but nothing so big that they could use to their advantage as the FIA ​​will be scrutinizing this."

James Key believes that in the coming year, some teams could see games with tricks, which would be within the gray zone of regulations and would not require the FIA ​​ombudsmen to intervene in the meantime.
