Formula 1 talk.

[Caballus]

Wow, you have gone from agreeing with me and a civil conversation to this in 45 minutes.

It's not about agreeing or disagreeing--only. It's about interaction and respect. It's absent.

At !east it hasn't turned into an auto vs. manual thread .........yet.

Right, so how about those 2022 cars? They’re smaller so we should see some more wheel to wheel racing.

Think we will have to see the full range of changes. Either way, seems that some new commercially exploitable technology will emerge from 2022. Got inside scoop?

As has always been the case the teams will grab back lost downforce very quickly. I think the biggest variable will be the tyres (or more to the point wheels and tyres) which some will struggle to get on top of to start with. Invariably rule changes spread the teams out rather than close them up!

Ok well give it a go and see how you get on

Hopefully the new cars next year preform better in dirty air. It seems like the clean air advantage is so great right now it's got everyone trying to win the race on the first lap...just crazy aggressive.

It is very clear that even the Mercedes struggles in dirty air

Everything you wanted to know about the 2022 cars. I think it will take awhile to get used to them.

I noticed there’s no DRS wing.

DRS is still there. The cars will not look exactly like the mock up.

I noticed there’s no DRS wing.

They mention it in par 6: "DRS remains on the rear wing, meanwhile, with the Motorsports team keen to study its effect in conjunction with the rule changes."

Thank Ira! I agree it's going to take a while to get used to them and that'll be interesting to watch if nothing else.

Agreed and even with DRS and a slip stream it took forever to make a pass in dirty air. I see the dilemma though as you don't want it too easy to pass w/DRS.

It is easy enough to shorten the DRS zone if it is too powerful.
