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.
