“We'll only really know in that first test session when the cars hit the track for real and follow each other,” he tells Telegraph Sport.

Will better racing materialise, as hoped? With F1's technical and design personnel experts in clawing back aerodynamic efficiency, it is impossible to say at this stage, according to former grand prix driver and Sky Sports analyst Anthony Davidson. By far the most significant is the new aero philosophy. There are heavier and more robust tyres, 18-inch wheels and the return of wheel caps. A new, more “sustainable” synthetic fuel mixture will be used. The 2022 regulations include other changes. Bolting on downforce in any which area of the car they could ultimately led to a significant dirty air stream and a lot of this furniture becoming hugely inefficient for following cars. F1 teams are experts at finding downforce and the relatively stable regulations has allowed them to find plenty of it recently. This is for the better: by the end of this season, the cars were as ugly as they had been for decades.īut aesthetics are not the focus - performance and the quality of racing is. There are fewer of the aero accoutrements and designs than on the 2021 cars, so the new generation should look sleeker. The concept for 2022 is, in essence, a simplified race car, with changes based around the car’s aerodynamics. What are the regulation changes for 2022? We take a look at every little detail that we know about next year. Yet, after such a competitive season this year, might these technical changes ironically bring about the opposite of their desired effect? And who might they favour? Are the hopes for a similar battle between Verstappen and Hamilton in 2022 optimistic? Planned for 2021, the financial implications of the pandemic delayed them by a year. They are partly a response to the dominance of Mercedes and the lack of competition throughout the field, but also aimed to limit the effects of ‘dirty air’, to make the racing better and the competitive order more balanced. McLaren won their first race for nine years and there were podiums for every team but Alfa Romeo and Haas.īut that will all change as 2022 brings in a new era, with significant regulation changes that follow measures such as a cost cap and an aero development sliding scale that favours teams who finish lower in the standings. This was not just because of a year-long, controversial and highly charged fight between Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton, but also due to the midfield closing up. The 2021 F1 season was arguably the greatest in Formula One's history. We take a look at every little detail that we know about 2022, analysing who it might favour and whether it will shake up the order How F1 cars are changing in 2022 – and why new regulations could be good news for Lewis Hamilton
