2022 Formula 1 Season Paddock

MCL36

 

Looks like McLaren are holding some things back too, that rear spoiler looks very generic and has no actuator for DRS.

 

I guess we won't see as many pieces flying off front wings now that they're a foot off the track surface.

 

They photoshopped out their diffuser in the rear last year. They were the only ones that came with that one that was angled to give a bit more downforce.

 

it's definitely different seeing the cars with such high front wings, no rake, and what looks like will be almost no suspension movement. they say they may drive like go karts at least in the beginning of development. that will be hard on the drivers and might separate them a bit.

 

Yeah the old tyres offered a fair bit of travel. These new tyres have no give, they are going to have to be really careful with curbs.

Pretty big difference in design elements here. Hopefully that carries forward to all the teams and results in a more diverse and competitive field.

 

That front suspension is completely different.

Even Haas have the generic FIA rear spoiler… maybe the one they’ll use will have anti spin design features incorporated.

Cheers to AT for the clear hi res photos.

 

Good point, I think the brake intake duct size has changed to allow more airflow.

 

Looks like there's a gap between the wheel disc and inner wheel rim.

Okay. I was just guessing.

 

These look like some type of venting which could vent out of the wheel disc gap. Again just guessing.
