F1 One Begins - 2022 car launch - live now!
Discussion
A triumph of style over substance, some of the arty-farty graphics were so bad I could hardly see what they were supposed to be. And all we wanted to see was the car itself - well, the 0.5% who haven't already seen it, anyway.
Besides which, as I've said elsewhere, I'm sure when the actual cars appear they won't look anything like this as the designers pepper them with vanes, winglets, boards, diffusers etc, everywhere they're not specifically forbidden.

The whole car looks lower and possibly smaller overall? Might just be the camera angle though. Should make Monaco a bit better if they are.
The cars will be shorter; the new maximum wheelbase is slightly shorter than that of the shortest cars on the grid at the moment. Have we not had all this before, renders of possible F1 cars, and then we get crappy noses and winglets all over the place, sprouting from all over the car where the rules are grey -
cue a lot of appeals, quick fix rules changes, and more protests about legalities of wings and flexibility.
imho - throw away the 99% of the rule book, 4 tyres, 1 compound, thats it - dont even have drivers in the car if they dont want ! ;-)

Oh, an even more mahoosive front wing? Just what we need given how easily the current ones get knocked off when racing closely.....
It does look a lot more substantial though, both around the mounting point and the endplates themselves. So it should be less fragile in theory, though it depends on how the rules are interpreted by each team!The holographic effect on the launch model in the studio did it no favours at all. A bit ‘rainbow road’.
I agree with the drivers, it looks pretty good from the front wheels back. The front wing is pretty ugly. The chord is too deep and the height and curve looks a bit odd- but if this is the right direction for better racing then I’m onboard.
I think the real life cars in real life liveries will look much better.

te the computer tells them to make is gone. Shame the front wing is still so big. Gassing Station | Formula 1 | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
