We shall tell you that the new Aerodynamics regulations are postponed. They shall see the light in 2022. But still, we see huge changes for the cars coming up for the next season. It begins with the FIA announcing last week for outer floor area changes. this design shall trim downforce levels. But still, we must have a look at why the rules tend to change, Also, we shall ponder over which race teams shall be most affected by these rules.
AT present, the floor goes in a straight line, adjacent to the cockpit back, and goes on till the rear tire. But what we hear in announcements, tell us it will be 10 cm furthermore. this shall give it a diagonal like view, from the top as wee see. This is going to trim a lot of significant areas from the floor of the car. We shall see how much rested for the wheelbase of cars. We calculate the downforce generated by the underfloor as a multiplication floor’s area and negative air pressure generated there.
This is not yet. They also ban the type of squirt design from next year as well. Thus, aerodynamicists will have to go for other options to create aerodynamics. And it shall be a race to find out who adapts the fastest to these situations. Well, they always find a way for that.
