The current regulations have come under heavy fire due to the on-track offering in recent weeks.
Williams team principal James Vowles believes that despite concerns about dirty air caused by cars, the current F1 regulations have not failed. Introduction of ground effect aerodynamic regulations aimed to enhance close racing, but as car development progressed, dirty air increased, making it challenging for drivers to follow competitors closely. Vowles emphasized that the regulations have not failed, highlighting competitive midfield racing and improved metrics compared to previous car generations. While expressing concerns about the leading pack’s development making it harder to follow, he acknowledged the intended progress in closeness. Aston Martin’s Mike Krack echoed Vowles, emphasizing the varied designs allowed by the regulations and looking forward to potential improvements in the future. Overall, both Vowles and Krack view the current regulations as successful while anticipating potential enhancements in upcoming seasons.
