Liam Lawson has explained how he plans to tackle the “huge amount to learn” facing the F1 drivers this winter.
Liam Lawson emphasized the significant learning curve facing the F1 drivers at the start of next year due to the major changes in chassis and power unit regulations. The upcoming season features the most extensive rule overhaul in a decade, including aerodynamic modifications and the first significant engine changes since 2014. Drivers will need to acquaint themselves with the entire rulebook, contrasting with past seasons where focus was more one-sided. The condensed winter break, caused by the delayed season start due to a private test in late January, poses a tight schedule for teams. With the introduction of active aerodynamics and a 50/50 split between electrical and internal combustion power, drivers must adjust to different power units and enhanced energy management strategies. The elimination of DRS in favor of new overtaking devices marks a major shift in driving dynamics that will require time for drivers to master the new cars.
