Formula 1 expert and journalist Hughes is present on the racetrack Circuit of Barcelona-Catalonia and can experience up close new generation racing cars. The Briton immediately noticed that race cars year 2022 behave on the track otherwise as predecessors.

On the colleagues' website The Race writes about his observations of new race cars. He notes that they have race cars aerodynamic more difficult problems in the last turns due to the extra weight of the new 18-inch tires Pirelli, which racers feel very well during braking. They also can’t use that much anymore curbs in some turns due to the stiffness of the suspension.

V fast turns but the story is completely different. There seem to be race cars faster like never before because it is because of less effective wings less air resistance. It seems so Charles Leclerc he has a lot of confidence in his race car in the seventh and eighth turns. They demand a lot from racers and racers in particular second and third turn, notes Hughes.

"There is one race car that handles this very well. Maybe he has less fuel in the tank than Mercedes and Ferrari, maybe because his tires are fresher. But Lando Norris ’McLaren is dynamic here, with enough grip to allow him to come up with a much wider and more favorable line after the second turn in the long third turn. And that's what every round did,”He says Hughes and so points the finger at a possible one this year surprise, which sounds like a name McLaren.
