F1 teams haven’t given much away about their new cars so far, but have revealed clues on what to expect based on what we’ve heard rather than seen
Formula 1 teams have been keeping their new car designs under wraps, but some hints have been dropped about what to expect mainly from discussions rather than actual images. Technical personnel have shared insights into the key features and demands of the cars prior to pre-season testing. The return of high rake is anticipated, with higher ride heights promoting this setup to increase wing angle and create more downforce. Teams are expected to experiment with rake levels to find the optimal performance balance, considering various factors and compromises. The broader range for ride height adjustment will give teams more flexibility in aerodynamic tuning and mechanical optimization. This shift in car characteristics indicates a complex development challenge and potential advantages in aerodynamic performance.
