F1technical take a look at the aerodynamics of an F1 car designed to the 2021 regulations as compared to the modified Perrin F1 model used in previous studies.
I thought they were banned in part because the made more disturbed air for the following cars.
Seeing as the regulations for 2021 want to use them to reduce wake that would be ironic if true.
Best WDC-drivers in F1 history:
Schumacher, Senna, Fangio
Driving a dominant car in the most dominant team ever, helped by favorable rule changes, against subtop teammates does not make you the GOAT (but still superb). It just helps you inflate/skew your stats.
If the wheel cover is completely covering the rim you obviously get less turbulence out to the sides. Cooling the brakes then becomes a bit more interesting ofc. Having ducts for both intake and exhaust heat.. I doubt it would be a problem to cool the brakes but it would cause some design chances for sure. Another option is to demand the intake to be on the outside.. where the cover is. exhaust then leaving towards the center line.

That said. They are beating around the bush. Open wheel and intense focus on safety just makes everything seem silly when you also want less turbulence for the following car.
They are trying to make a car that looks a certain way perform in a way it is ill suited for.

Reading reactions to it in social medias I get the feeling that I'm the only one who likes how it looks. Just hoping there will still be enough room for the teams to play with.

I love how it looks. I worry that they'll have to make a lot of it spec to ensure the wheel-to-wheel action happens.
