Everything You Need to Know about F1 Cars in 2022

Less fragile, shorter cars, with more downforce and less wake turbulence... One can only hope this makes the next season as close as the last one.

[@ischwhit6747]

The Venturi tunnels are the most underrated thing to come back. Not many people realise the amazing downforce it produced with Lotus back in the 70s.

Didn’t it also make the lotus unstable? I may be wrong though

[@Jess-or5we]

@@lxlrvfx1764 yeah I thought this too. Ground effect is very unstable at low speeds, due to the lack of downforce that’s created once the speed is lost. Would love to hear more info of this has changed though!

[@SDRaygon]

So because the new floor is so important and seem closer to the ground, will this stop the drivers from using tall curbs and go wide in areas with tall apex or curbs?

[@WhiskyCanuck]

I wondered about that too - riding the curbs too much will open up the gap underneath and I'd expect to cause a significant drop in downforce as a result. From the days when skirts were still used, when air got in like that while pulling Gs, the cars often go straight off track. But the skirts were flexible, this is a rigid structure, so maybe it won't be as much of a problem?

[@mrragge7986]

Lol this guy has a virus that sends him bots

[@Blazingboi-b2x]

What i am confused about is if the car hits the kerb and the nose pitches up and floor gets pushed down might it cause the air to get stuck underneath and cause lift instead of downforce. Would be pretty scary to see a f1 car pitch up and take off

[@mrthewhite2620]

@@Blazingboi-b2x The floor design causes extreme low pressure under the car. increasing the seal of the ground effect by actually physically touching the ground with the side skirts will only serve to DROP the air pressure even further. there is no way air could get "trapped" under to create such a high pressure as to lift the car off the ground as the inlets and the outlets at the back are huge. You would have to fully block up the outlets at the back and there's no plausible way that could happen during a race.

[@tingstrap]

It's great that removing the barge boards will minimise performance loss after side contact. Possibly encourage hard racing a bit. But I suppose if the skirts are damaged ground effect would be reduced. Hmmm..........

The technical regulations are available for free on the FIA website. They are the complete set of rules you use to design the car!

Hello, All the new rules are thought with, I think, an intention to go in a good direction for the race. I have one question about the new minimum weight though. True it comes from new safety enhancements (which is great) and cost reduction concerns (which are understandable), but more weight also means more momentum, in crashes particularly. Isn't there a risk that the weight increased so much over the past few seasons that safety measures will be rendered obsolete by the massively increased energy of heavier cars going as fast, or even faster just before an impact ?

So, in fact, driving over kerbs will not be any different in that regard from what it was. The difference will be in what happens to the tyres and how the suspension copes with it.

Great to see Scarbs in this one. Sad you had to cut down for length what seemed to be a fascinating conversation, but lots of good insight in there. Mercedes facing that double whammy after the floor regs hit them in 2021, with the shorter wheelbase, but with them dedicating so much of their time and resources to the 2022 car, it will be interesting to see how far ahead of the pack they are at the start of the year (if they stil are). Two and a half months to go. Can't wait.

Why only ban the Mercedes car's suspension? What about the other teams

Max will have an advantage with the more twitchy steering being what he wants.

[@tuna5618]

I hope so, I hope red bull is able to make a good car this year despite focusing on 2021 heavily.

[@Alex-cw3rz]

Max is going to have a great disadvantage as Mercedes will have a car that's working properly for the entire year, ferrari will most likely be back in the game etc. The twitcheness could help out other drivers as Max plays chicken at the corners either the other person slows down or they crash, whereas with the twitcheness this will allow them more movenment rather than backing off being the only available option

[@sanketjoshi8309]

It doesn't really matter if the cars are slower than before. If it keeps our drivers safe. Thats the best idea. Racing isnt just about speed, its also of the overtaking, tyre management, pit stops and so much. If these new rules ensure closer and more competitive racing. Slower speeds don't really make a problem

[@mikeoneil-work4216]

Great video as always, thanks. Like a lot of other people, I'm really looking forward to seeing how this affects the drivers and curbs. Cutting that corner by just a bit (and catching a curb), could seriously compromise the aero, just when you needed it most. Of course aero is reduced drastically by reduced speed, so it may not be as big a deal. Also curious about how strong these floors will be. I can imagine some of those big 'sausage curbs' we saw last year really causing a lot of damage. And if the floor is too strong, it could send the car airborne, too weak and you've got a disabled car and carbon fiber everywhere. Hopefully marshalls will be taking this into account when they place curbs and adjust accordingly.

I will advice everybody who is into crypto to stick with ETH and BTC as much as you can guys.If everyone sells when it starts to fall, which at one point it will, the dream maybe lost because of it being too volatile for companies to get behind..

Loved the ending of the video, perfect!

[@BluesAlmighty]

3:20 you cannot lose the dirty air. A moving body in a medium will always have a wake. You can only steer its dynamics as Scarbs explains at 7:30. This may be nit-picking, but you explained it like that in prior vids on the aero as well 😉 Other than that, I am always enjoying your technical videos. BTW, since more downforce is created by the floor, the DRS is expected to be less effective for overtaking than before

[@thethirdman225]

That’s perfectly true. The object of these rules is to minimise the effect of wake turbulence.

[@efivos5362]

1. Don't really agree it will be that difficult to warm the front tyres. The less the material the quicker it warms + ground effect will help to warm up both front and rear tyres. I also bet that the time gap between warming up soft and hard compound will decrease. 2. It comes down to the drivers a) adaptability with regards to downforce and more responsive steering and b) endurance with regards to downforce and (probably) higher overall G-Forces. There might be the case that younger drivers will adapt quicker to these changes. 3. I'm waiting to see the actual benefit of DRS. With so much downforce created by the ground effect I bet this season will have nothing to do with previous seasons where most overtakes were happening in big DRS zones. 4. That rear wing is a BEAUTY!

[@TheSancheztomas]

Suggestion: use two cameras to do the headshots, one in front just like it is now and one extra on the side. That way, you can use the other camera to cut away and avoid jump cuts.

[@thethirdman225]

By the way, venturis were never banned. Venturis, tunnels, diffusers…they’re all basically different names for the same thing: a device that expands the cross section of the flow area and reduces pressure, thus creating downforce. The difference is that for the last 40 years, the bottom of the car had to be flat between the axles so the venturis that did exist were comparatively small.

[@Fouskotinis]

[@kelliebrooks9094]

[@tl1850]

Looking forward to next season. We should have far more crashes as the safety car always seems to alter the race results. Should be a lot more exciting for the fans. It will also be good knowing that rules can be changed if the race is boring

[@stewartdevisser3818]

With the amount of punchers F1 has a bigger rim and smaller side wall just makes sense, with any luck bigger rims will help protect the tyre against front wing damage to tyres.

[@stephen_101]

The F1 prototype is giving off Indycar vibes, especially at the front. Love it👍

[@MP-op4su]

7:20 i have to admit that 2022 cars are beautiful. no one in 2000 would tthink that f1 car will be like this.

[@mansonfd7835]

It looks like the 2022 car will be slightly unforgiving to drive, and that's won't be a bad idea. Considering this is for the sake of balancing the team performance and this car force the driver to adapt with these new aero. So it'll be all about the driver not the car anymore. Edit: Some people may not like these change or some people may like these change, but the point is, I just hope that 2022 will offer more competitive and balanced racing.

[@PapaBrejj]

That photo of that Monaco spec Maclaren bargeboard epitomizes how insane this design philosophy had come by 2021. It looks like something NVidia should be selling you to stick inside your gaming computer.

[@GeliCarlosJ]

They should re introduce refueling to make the cars more nimble like before and to address the weight issue of cars continuing to just get heavier. As for the safety of it they could implement a rule where during refueling u cant release the car immediately once the hose is off the car, maybe have a mandatory wait period of 2-3 seconds 🤷🏽‍♂️ I just wanna see more strategy and faster cars during turning

[@thethirdman225]

Let's get a few things into their proper perspective. 1) This is not the _return_ of ground effect. Ground effect never went away. It was just differently implemented. At the end of the 1982 season, the FISA mandated flat bottom cars and outlawed skirts. That meant the bottom of the car between the axles, had to be flat. It didn't mean the whole bottom of the car had to be flat but it had the effect of limiting the amount of downforce that could be applied by the under tray. It also moved the Centre of Pressure backwards. Prior to that, most teams were using wing sections for their under trays and the cars were frequently referred to as "wing cars". Eventually, with under tray profiling, the exit area resembled tunnels more than a wing In both cases - wing cars and "flat bottom cars" - the shape eventually evolved into venturis. Venturi tunnels never went away either. 2) The new rules dispense with the mandate for a flat bottom car. That means the teams can start messing around with the shape of the entry point. The object here is to compress the air as it goes under the car. There are two kinds of pressure: static pressure, which is basically the ambient air pressure acting on any object at any given time and dynamic pressure which is the pressure acting on a vehicle by virtue of its speed. In subsonic aerodynamics, as dynamic pressure is increased, static pressure goes down. That's how you create lift, or in this case, downforce. So by accelerating the air under the car, they can create more downforce than they would with a nominally flat-bottom car using a splitter plate. Between the beginning of 1983 and the end of 2021, this was not allowed. Dr Harvey Postlethwaite, then with the Tyrrell team, instigated the use of the splitter plate which, while it couldn't accelerate the air under the car, at least ensured a clean airflow. That's how we got the high noses we have today. 3) A return to wing cars doesn't automatically mean more downforce. In this case it actually means less. I'm not 100% sure how this will play out. The new cars will definitely have a dramatically-improved Lift/Drag ratio which will -almost certainly- make them faster in a straight line but I expect the teams to offset this by running more wing to optimise laptimes. That said, without knowing more figures, it's hard to say. We won't be going back to 1982, when cars ran with 2,500 kgs of downforce from the under tray alone. Without the addition of skirts, this should be near impossible to repeat. 4) On the question of whether the cars will be more prone to flipping or not, it's hard to say. Certainly the movement forward of the centre of pressure suggests they should (CoP ahead of CoG = static instability and likely aerodynamic divergence). All F1 cars are statically and dynamically unstable (this is actually a bad thing so don't get me started). That won't improve this year. Will it cause more flips? I don't know what the stability margin is for the new car. It was about 5 degrees up for the old cars. 5) The forward movement of the CoP means the front wing can be smaller. In 1982, cars often ran with no front wing at all. Some even ran with the front wing at a _negative_ angle, if you can believe that. While I don't expect this to be repeated in 2022 (it may even be illegal), it will likely make the cars better balanced (I've always believed the front wings were far too big and too convoluted). 6) Skirts are still banned. I believe they were considered for something like 13 seconds before they changed their minds. This doesn't mean teams won't seek alternative solutions. In the last days of the old cars, the gap under the side was usually sealed with a bit of aerodynamic trickery. The bargeboards - ridiculous things that should never have been allowed in the first place - generated an intense vortex that had the effect of partially sealing off the under tray, thus increasing ground effect. I'm sure they have other things in mind, rules permitting... 7) Diving over kerbs will probably have no more effect on the car than it did for last season's cars. People who are concerned about damaging the car's ground effect should not worry too much. It's unlikely to be much different from a purely aerodynamic point of view. In 1982, drivers had to be a lot more respectful of kerbs because they could damage the sliding skirts those cars used. There were several cases where skirts got stuck in the "up" position because they were bent and couldn't move within the sided. There were other cases where the skirt broke up. That will not be a factor this year because there won't be any skirts. The only caveat on this is the changes to the suspension and the lower profile tyres. Anyhow, all this should contribute to some more global aerodynamics instead of the bitty design crap we've seen for so long, with vortex generators and flips here and there and all over the place. If anyone is wanting more detail on this, I strongly recommend looking at Peter Windsor's interview series with Craig "Scarbs" Scarborough. There are three parts and everything is explained pretty well.

[@StephanieElizabethMann]

I think the larger diameter wheels would be better for a smoother ride and the lower profile tyres would make the steering more direct. I had that combination on a suzuki swift and it was a delight to drive. It was smoother on the road and I could slide through corners with confidence because I could always feel exactly where the car was and what it was experiencing in the contact with the road surface.
