Now the dispute about the rear diffuser involves BGP, Williams and Toyota, which can be 0.5 seconds faster than other teams.
Therefore, in the face of such a huge advantage, it is understandable that small teams take the lead.
However, after F 1 returns to Europe, major teams will increase their research and development perspectives in all aspects, and it is likely that their achievements will be greatly restored.
The rules changed this year are divided into several aspects.
1, the front alar and the front alar are widened and lowered, and the driver can adjust the angle independently. However, at present, the driver can only adjust it up and down once per lap, which can increase the upward air flow and strengthen the downward pressure, and the driver can make fine adjustments according to the situation.
2. The tail wing is narrowed and improved, so that the surface airflow of the racing car output by the tail wing and the airflow at the bottom of the racing car output by the diffuser will not be mixed to generate turbulence, which will affect the following car and strengthen the overtaking efficiency.
3, bald tires, bald tires will be faster, but obviously, compared with tires with pits, bald tires wear faster and are easy to blister. At present, when in use, especially soft tires, it is very easy to bubble, and a set of soft tires can actually be used, that is, more than ten laps.
4. The original auxiliary fins and small exhaust holes are all cancelled, which means that the auxiliary measures for pressing down are reduced to a very low direction.
The overall improvement direction this year is indeed based on some measures to encourage competition in A 1. At present, apart from the image problem, it is indeed advantageous in competition.
1, small motorcade (Brown GP, Williams, etc. ) Use a diffuser. This kind of diffuser is legal, and the lap speed is about 1 sec. If Ferrari wants to install this diffuser, it needs to overhaul the F60.
2. In the first few races of the season, there were problems with KERS used by Ferrari. For example, Australia burned Malaysia and Shanghai broke down. How can a team that doesn't fully understand KERS get good grades?
At 3: 09, the FIA cancelled many aerodynamic packages, which was very unfavorable to the teams that were good at it. That's what Ferrari eats. The gap between cars has narrowed. What's more, the regulations on wind tunnels and test runs have made Ferrari even more "humbled"
4. The team lacks leadership. With Todd gone, Brown was charming in his team, and M Schumacher was "sent off" for tactical mistakes, so Ferrari, which was originally United, no longer existed. Although Dominic is excellent, he is slightly coquettish compared with Alex Todd, Ross Brawn, Dennis and even whitley (Red Bull). So Ferrari is getting harder and harder.
