Some news from f1at, positive and negative
Information recently collected by the editorial staff of FUnoAnalisiTecnica opens up quite rosy scenarios. After the initial phase of understanding certain areas of the car , at Maranello they started to smile as the simulations offered very interesting data.
The results obtained from the CFD, to be more precise, seem to be even higher than those expected in the deliberation phase of the project . Obviously it is not possible to go into technical details in a super armored context and from which few drafts leak. Although the feedback we have acquired tells of a successful car especially from a mechanical point of view , an area with the greatest room for maneuver by scrutinizing the folds of the 2022 technical regulation , it is preferable to wait for the events. Little is missing for the response of the track.
Now for the negative, here they're quoting Turrini
Longtime F1 journalist Leo Turrini says there are some apprehensions that keep engineers anxious. Especially on the aerodynamic side. In the face of flattering engine results, despite the introduction of E10 biofuels , it is feared that Ferrari may leave something on the street in the interpretation of the new rules that enhance the ground effect.
The fear that lurks in the staff of engineers who worked on the 2022 car , says the reporter, is that, from the very first stages of the championship, the F1-75 could pay an average gap of about half a second compared to the most accredited competition. It would actually be a big problem because, in an era of budget cap and heavily restricted hours in the gallery and CFD , recovery is not as simple as you can imagine.
