formula 1 it gets a whole new face this year. Technical regulations is changing as concretely as ever before in 72 years of history of the royal class of motorsport. The rules have been around for a long time complicated, but this year the set of rules gets new excesses.
In 2021 that was enough 137 pages - together with various technical directives - in order to maintain control over engineers, and this year the Formula 1 Technical Regulations include 175 pages. This is the most complicated policy in history. Because of this umbrella organization FIA already checking to see if all teams with their new race cars moving in the field of legality. “With teams, we go through a certain process. We have individual meetings with them to check the legality of the cars,”He revealed Nicholas Tombazis, FIA technical chief.
The FIA wants to prevent unpleasant surprises
"We do this in order to avoid unpleasant surprises in the first race. I can say that we saw some surprises. Areas where race cars are different than we expected. But so far this has not triggered an alarm in our country,He added Tombazis. A whole new policy always hides the danger of gaps. No one knows this as well as they do Ross Brawn. Today’s Formula One sports boss is years old 2009 with his team thanks dual diffuser literally made fun of the other competitors. That's why Brown careful: “It would be naive to believe if there was no dispute. That would not be Formula 1,”Adds the Briton with a smile.
Formula 1 teams do not inform the FIA
"It is in the nature of teams not to warn the FIA when they see opportunities" so Brown. On the other hand, an FIA technician Tombazis reassures: “So far, we see a fair interpretation of the rules. We don’t see any equivalence to a dual diffuser or anything like that."It simply came to our notice then 2022 so exploded. Those responsible withdrew science from 2009.
That the team would not torpedoed the target providing better racing with its development, the rules for this purpose have been tightened up. It's so much more surprisinglythat race cars have been shown so far conceptually very different. "Complex rules lead to simpler race cars. Differences are easier to spot here. Simpler rules, however, bring more complex race cars. Here we work in detail,”He explained Tombazis.
The racing cars of the 2022 season are surprisingly different
But don't get out of it crystallizes quickly fixed solution as correct. Will race cars be seen in a very short time the same? "The budget ceiling will prevent this,”He believes Brown. "Big teams can no longer try everything. They have to choose one direction."
Will we then the next generation race cars of the year 2023 so far that they will all be the same? “Last year, with higher and lower inclinations, we had two completely different concepts that came to the same level of performance,”Jumped up Tombazis. "Why can't we have two or three solutions now? Some concepts always die with natural death."
