Red Bull, Mercedes and Ferrari locked out podium positions in nearly every race this year. The FIA says this kind of performance gap between the top three teams and the rest wasn't 'unexpected' after the introduction of new rules. F1
Red Bull, Ferrari and Mercedes enjoyed an almost complete lock out of the top three positions throughout 2022.
But the FIA’s single seater technical director Nikolas Tombazis thinks that F1’s history shows that when rules change it is normal that the top teams start in front. “I think initially, it was bound to still be the better-off or well-off teams that adapted better to the rules. But I do think now people have seen what the solutions are, and are likely to be adapting for next year. I think it was the outcome of it being the first year of the regulations."
“If you look back at the first year of regulations, 2014 or 2009 or whatever, or 1998 I guess, these first years usually had some fairly big gaps. I think this year it’s been much less than that.”
