Ferrari has unveiled the new 2022 F1-75
Scuderia unveiled at Maranello the F1-75 car on which they pin all hopes of a championship return with Charles Leclerc and Carlos Saint.
The new Ferrari F1-75, like all of this year’s Formula 1 cars, is finished in white due to the sport’s profound change in design and technical regulations – aiming for its aerodynamics to allow for a closer fight on the track.
The Maranello-based team has made no secret of its ambition to use the fact that everyone is starting from scratch to be competitive from the off against Mercedes, RBR – or any other team that manages to construct a winning car this year .
For this ambition she had two very important advantages. The first is that having only grown to 6th in the 2020 championship, it had a lot more wind tunnel time in 2021 (determined based on last year’s manufacturer rating for the sake of cost reduction) and therefore had more room for improvement. Car from 2022.
Its second advantage is said to have to do with the hybrid drive and the new E10 fuels, which this year consist of 10 percent ethanol.
Not only has Scuderia further developed its F1-75 hybrid system by introducing it in last year’s SF21 in the last 6 GPs of 2021, but it is said to benefit from a revolutionary technology identified by its biofuel supplier Shell.
It therefore remains to be seen whether he has done such a good job aerodynamically with his engine with the same performance and power as that of Mercedes and Red Bull (Honda) that Charles Leclerc and Carlos Saint are capable of winning in 2022.
The first signs of whether this is the case will surface on February 23-25 at the first winter development tests in Barcelona, then the second tests in Bahrain (March 10-12) and of course all to be unveiled at the first GP, also in the Emirate of Persia, on March 20, 2022.
