2022 saw F1's biggest regulation overhaul in years. Outgoing series boss Ross Brawn gives his verdict on the shakeup. Story:
But while there was no doubt big progress was made in improving the ability of cars to follow each other closer, the season just gone was not without its faults.
Asked by Motorsport.com for his rating out of 10 for the success of the new rules, Brawn said:"I think sort of eight or nine out of 10, [which] was towards where we wanted to be. But he also suggests that some teams got greedy in chasing downforce gains that were in theory there if you ran close to the ground, but could not be achieved in the real world."A ground effect car by definition can porpoise because of the very concept. And those of us who experienced that years ago probably were more aware of how you should approach those things – and Adrian [Newey] in particular, I don't think their car had hardly any issues.
In fact, Sebastian Vettel questioned whether the gains had ultimately been worth it for all the expense and effort that was put in to create new rules. Brawn says that without active aero to deliberately hobble cars in front then it will be impossible to ever create a racing car that is as quick following behind as it is running alone.
"So those scenarios where you see a driver trying to hold a tight line in a corner and a guy comes alongside him and he drifts out – he's lost downforce. As soon as that car gets alongside him, he's losing grip. And we hadn't appreciated that scenario so much."With these cars, it's much less as well.
