F1 2022 Season

Aston to reveal real race car today - refreshing
 
I want to actually follow a season this time around, but this thread isn't exactly warming me to it. Can't we just get along :nervous:
 
Still can't get excited about the new season and new cars, I'm hoping a reveal of some real cars will ignite it a bit.
 
Yup liking the livery on that a lot. Not technical enough to see what the differences are between this and the show model from memory though. :lol:
 
That's clean

This is shockingly beautiful . And it's an actual car. Kudos to them. Some very interesting designs. Pushrod front suspension is back I see . Very interesting air inlet design and front nose design. Extra points for having drs
 
Here's another angle

DRS slots look smaller to me, or is the entire rear wing larger? Hard to tell when it's so different from last year.
 
Height of the front wing intriguing

Might be a strange angle or a result of photoshop. But that looks like it has negative rake!?

Ground effect will likely mean high rake is out.

I think that looks mega though, could be an era of beautiful cars.

Wish we could see the underbodies. They might be the most exciting part of the changes this year.

Both the front and rear wings have changed a big amount. That was the whole point of the regulation change.

The cars will now generate a lot less grip from the wings, hopefully allowing other cars to follow and not have as much dirty air.

Instead they'll now generate the downforce through 'ground effect' which is essentially sucking itself to the floor.

The cars will be faster in a straight line, potentially faster in high speed corners, but a little slower in the slowest speed sections.

That's the only real car we got so far tbf. It looks stunning and can't wait for other to reveal their cars so we can compare differences.

Hats off to Aston Martin to actually reveal how their car will look like.

Valid point. Perhaps I will rephrase that it will be hard to beat, even as one of the first to be revealed!
 
Car looks sexy.

No clue about all the technical shit yet. fecks a negative rake

Negative rake would be front of the car sitting higher than the rear.

This would never be the case in racing.

Tbf it just looks as a negative rake because front wing is high to let clear air going where it will matter much more to get the most out of ground effect which will be primary downforce contributor. But yeah with ground effect we will not see high rake cars.
 
any one see the cry more hamilton fan boys at aston moaning, crying about the final few laps of last year? crazy the lengths hamilton fans will go to.

"It's great racing and everyone wants to see the two drivers in the championship go head-to-head with one lap to go, but you can't be making up rules at the end of the race like that. It has to be set in stone," the Canadian said.

"If the consequence is that there is not time, and we don't get a whole lap of racing, well..that's how it is. This was maybe a little bit too much. It's important those things are set in stone.

"Abu Dhabi was just not right. When there's a safety car, lapped cars get to overtake the safety car and then we go racing. There is nothing that says half the cars can overtake and half stay behind and then we go racing. Those things can't be modified just to put on a show.

"The rules are the rules and you can't be changing the rules for entertainment. It has to be sport first."

Those are drivers. They obviously know nothing about "car racing".

yeah, stroll’s view point is exactly aligned to mine and i’m a massive cretin.
 
Max in private must be fuming that his first championship is under such a cloud.

Brundle and Hill changing tack now and saying basicallly that Hamilton was robbed when at the end of the race they were so giddy with Max being the champion, so poor. They should have had the backbone to call it that way at the time.
