F1’s new rules and the changes made to sport due to war in Ukraine

This upcoming Formula 1 season will see several large changes to the sport. First, there have been new rules implemented for the 2022 season. According to Sky Sports, the three main changes are the implementation of a ground-effect floor, simplified aero components, and 18-inch tires with wheel winglets. The ground-effect, a concept which was popular back in the 1970s, causes a suction effect between the car and the tarmac which provides downforce—a downwards force that allows cars to move faster—without the drag that is caused by rear and front wings. Simplified front wings are responsible for narrowing air flow and decreasing the effectiveness of the Drag Reduction System. DRS is a system that opens the rear wing on straights to encourage overtaking, i.e. passing other cars on the track. The new front wing not only changes airflow but also improves the visual aesthetic of the vehicles. Lastly, the new tires should allow drivers to have better control of their cars while racing. The new rules have been said to “even the playing field,” according to many drivers on the grid.

Ferrari’s 2022 challenger, a potential title-winning formula?

It’s been safe to say that Ferrari has not seen much success in Formula One recently. With their last champion Kimi Räikkönen having retired at the end of the 2021 season, the Formula One grid has lost its last driver who won a championship with the prancing horses all the way back in 2007. The team that once dominated the sport at the hands of seven-time champion Michael Schumacher hasn’t won a drivers’ or constructors’ championship since 2007 and 2008, respectively. Since then, the team has come close to winning a championship — most notably of these almost-victories include Felipe Massa’s in 2008 and Fernando Alonso’s in 2012, both of whom missed out on a championship with Ferrari in the final race of the season.
