Ross Brawn, F1’s managing director of motorsports, believes the 2022 F1 British Grand Prix provided a perfect example of why the new major F1 regulation changes went in the right direction.
Silverstone Circuit was the place where the world premiered what the new generation F1 car would look like last July. A photo of 20 drivers standing around the prototype model on the track has been released.
This season, 10 different F1 cars were created from scratch. The idea of a new generation F1 car to reduce turbulence to subsequent cars by introducing it into the ground effect effect is exciting, leading to more overtaking moves by allowing F1 drivers to follow each other more closely. It was to create an action.
In particular, F1 drivers would have unconditionally insisted that the new rule was a success. However, at the F1 British Grand Prix, there was plenty of evidence that most of the checkboxes were checked.
Sergio Perez, Lewis Hamilton, Charles Leclerc, Fernando Alonso and Lando Norris took the podium behind the final winner Carlos Sainz Jr. on the final lap after the safety car. He fought a battle to do so, creating a breathtaking action of who would grab the second place.
“This year’s race at Silverstone was classic and was a perfect demonstration of what sports were trying to achieve with these innovative new racing cars,” said Ross Brawn, F1 Motorsport Managing Director. I mentioned it in the post-race column.
“We participated in a great race. What pleased me was the precision that the driver could have in the car. Countless fascinating battles with multiple position changes in some corners. I saw it. “
“We found that drivers could use multiple lines in these new cars, with two, three, and even four cars almost lined up.”
“The quality of the pass was also good. The driver had to work to actually complete the move. It wasn’t just a dive using DRS.”
“Drivers are enjoying these cars and are very positive. They all appreciate the changes and newly discovered abilities to get closer to other cars.”
“Many of them admit that it doesn’t necessarily lead to an easy overtake, but it significantly improves the chances of putting pressure on the tail and forcing mistakes. I don’t think there are any drivers who aren’t enthusiastic. “
Therefore, Ross Brawn feels that the decisions made by the FIA (International Automobile) and F1 have been substantiated and will be beneficial to the future of sports.
“This year, cars are chasing consecutive laps and challenging on consecutive laps much more often than they were last year,” continued Ross Brawn.
“It shows that the direction F1 and FIA are heading is absolutely right, and we can move the sport forward with new confidence that this approach is what we need in the future. is”
“It must always be an important factor in the design and modification of such cars.”
